Engine, Daredevil, Adv. Sensors, R2D2. Sure it's 14pts on someone already super expensive. But the options for positioning are amazing. If he manages to live to the end-game double-tapping and doing "hit-and-fades" should make that ~50% Total Point investment worth while.

Evasive maneuvers after double-tapping. Combined with Sensors, Daredevil opens up a 1-Turn "red" to the E-Wing. Which can be cleared if you are making a green maneuver, proc'ing R2D2 as well. You could probably get away without and just engine upgrade. But 1-Turn followed by a 5-Straight should keep Him completely out of arc of someone coming at him head to head. Or a 1-Turn-Left followed by a 3-Turn-Right. The only maneuver he cannot do is a 1-Turn then Koiogran.

I am thinking a fun way to fly Corran will be by having Corran and Airen fly together. I shall call it: the Corran-Airy

I think something people need to realize with all E-wings, ESPECIALLY Corran, is that when you choose an E-wing you're already paying the cost of the slots you can potentially fill even if you don't. So, if you're going to run Corran, deck him the eff out and assess when to engage and when to scramble.
