Ok with A-wings being 15 (rebel aces) and Z95s 12, I beg the question what is the best swarm we can come up with for the rebels.
Hwk with ion (21)

Z95 with ion (15)

Retro A (15)

This could be fun to mess with people.
7 Z-95
1 A-wing
Had to be said
Also:
15/15/15 (15 attack dice, 15 hull, 15 shields)
BXXZZZ
7 Ship Swarm
1B, 2A, 4Z
I don't usually advocate Blaster Turret, but it's not so bad on a simple Rebel Operative with Recon Spec. Not exactly swarm material, but still better damage potential than two ICTs.

So it's 100

Vs running ion.
I would lead towards ion because that shuts down movement for a turn vs damage and you can ion someone off the board.
Don't get me wrong, I love me some ICT, but I usually only run it on ships that make some other contribution to the team. A Rebel Operative is not a support ship, so it should probably be carrying its weight as far as damage is concerned. I will concede, though, that with that many ships you can afford to trade a little firepower for board control, but I still wouldn't take more than one ICT.
3x Rookie/3x Bandit, with a 1-point initiative bid for mirror matches, is going to be one of the firstWave 4 lists I try to run competitively.
3 RO + Recon Spec + Blaster
2 Proto + Chaardan
99 points.
I've been building lists similar to my TIE ones. 4x Bandits and then two other ships with upgrades.

"That's not a swarm. THIS is a swarm!"
8 x Z95 (12/ea.)
I'm an Imp, THAT is a swarm...
I saw some preview that Rebel Aces will be 1 A-wing and 1 B-wing.
Huh?
I saw some preview that Rebel Aces will be 1 A-wing and 1 B-wing.
Yes, it will be.
The B-Wing is getting the B-Wing/E2 modification, which gives them a Crew Slot (for +1 point)
The A-Wing is getting the A-Wing Test Pilot Title, giving them a 2nd EPT
The A-Wing is getting the Chardaan Refit, trading the missile slot for -2 points.
Featuring the Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors Crew cards (3 points, when you lose a stress you may gain a focus token :: 2 points, once per turn when an allied ship at Range 1-3 would take a Focus action or receive a Focus token, you may assign them an Evade token instead)
Featuring the Proton Rocket (a new missile. We don't know what it does yet).
Featuring a level 5 and a level 7 pilots for both ships.
The 7s on both are stupidly overpowered. We don't know what the 5s do yet.
The B can spend Stress Tokens like Offensive Focus Tokens
The A-Wing gets a free Boost or Barrel-Roll action upon performing a Focus action or receiving a Focus token.
Both have EPT slots.
