Currently, I'm in the "I'm solid on the mechanics and tactics of the game, but still working on my squad building" phase of getting into X-Wing. I have a lot of experience with a competitor's game that also has "Star" and "Wing" in the title but it is a bit of a different beast.

So, here are the squadrons I've been experimenting with. I would love feedback/comments:

Rebels (my main squad)

Wedge Antilles w/Adrenaline Rush

Chewbacca w/Veteran Instincts and Millenium Falcon

Jek Porkins

I was running Garvin Dreis instead of Porkins but I found his lower PS meant that I didn't get a lot of mileage out of his ability- some, for defensive purposes, but not a lot. My biggest fear is that this will struggle against swarms.

Alternate Rebel Squad

Wedge Antilles

Biggs Darklighter

Lieutenant Blount w/Ion Pulse Missiles

Blue Squadron Pilot

This one was doing pretty well, but struggled a little against swarms (apparently this is a theme for me).

Imperials

Turr Phennir

"Mauler Mithel"

Echo w/Advanced Cloaking Device

Academy Pilot

Academy Pilot

This one has been doing OK...I'd like to think about swapping Mithel for a lower PS pilot to upgrade Turr Phennir to Carnor Jax, but I'm worried about having to get that close. I'm also interested in the possibility of downgrading Mithel to upgrade the Academy Pilots to Obsidian Squadron Pilots to get over the Bandit and Blue Squadron pilots they may be facing.

Thanks for any help you can be!
