I run a modified Biggs Walks the Dogs list called Biggs and the Boys (2 blue w/AS, Biggs, 2 Bandit +1pt droid on biggs or 99 initiative or run a PS4 Z-95)

Oh, here's another Yorr list.

Daze of Yorr:

Yorr+Mara+Tactician

Jendon+Weapons Engineer

Scimitar+Flechette+Flechette+Failsafe x2

Neinneinneinneinnein!

Vader+ST+Concussion Missiles

Howlrunner+ST

BSP+ST

BSP+ST

AP

How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomber:

Jonus + flechette + ion pulse + failsafe

3x Scimitar + flechettex2 + ion pulse + failsafe

I did pretty well with:

Wookiee Blues

Chewbacca with 2 Blue Squadron Pilots

I believe that a good name can enhance the "soul" of a list, if you will. It won't necessarily be more effective because of it, but it enhances my please in writing/playing it, at least. What follows it a selection of some of my lists with "goofy" names; the first name is what I personally call the list, and the second is what some of the players at my meta call it, if applicable.

"Those **** E-wings" AKA "Critfest"

Corran Horn + FCS + Marksmanship

Etahn A'baht + Push the Limit + R2 Astromech + Advanced Sensors

Airen Cracken + Swarm Tactics

This one is tricky to play, as it's pretty squishy, and doesn't do well against ships with shields, for obvious reasons. Still, it's entertaining to see how many crits go through.

"Shenanigan Squadron"

Dutch Vander + R2-D6 + Veteran Instincts

Green Squadron Pilot + Homing Missiles + Push the Limit

Airen Cracken + Homing Missiles + Swarm Tactics

Lieutenant Blount + Homing Missiles

This one's fun too, and has a nasty alpha. Two Homing Missiles at PS8, and one at PS6, and all of them with TL+Focus hurts everything. The squadron is a bit squishy as well, but hopefully you're able to kill a few ships first round of shooting so the attrition fight is easier.

"The Beehive"

Roark Garnet + Ion Cannon Turret + RecSpec + Moldy Crow + Shield Upgrade

Green Squadron Pilot + A-wing Test Pilot + Refit + Push the Limit + Swarm Tactics

Green Squadron Pilot + A-wing Test Pilot + Refit + Push the Limit + Swarm Tactics

Green Squadron Pilot + A-wing Test Pilot + Refit + Push the Limit + Swarm Tactics

Not a heavy hitter, but they're all at PS12 for some nice consistent chip damage. Consider Predator instead of Push the Limit if you want to sacrifice a bit of tank for higher quality attacks.

"Easy Squadron"

Etahn A'baht + Push the Limit + R2 Astromech

Bandit Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missiles

Bandit Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missiles

Bandit Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missiles

Bandit Squadron Pilot + Concussion Missiles

Self-explanatory build. Say the name out loud if you don't get it.

"Keyan's Smackdown" AKA "Falcon Punch!"

Wes Janson + Wingman

Dutch Vander + R2-D6 + Veteren Instincts + Shield Upgrade

Keyan Farlander + Heavy Laser Cannon + Opportunist

This squadron is pending a semi-rewrite. It works fairly well as-is though, and Keyan hurts.

"The A-team"

WIP

It's a bunch of named A-wing pilots, doing what they do best.

Anyone mention Lando's Banditos yet?

Lando + 3 or 4 bandits and an assortment of upgrades. You can throw in Nien Numb and put on a sombrero on him if you like.

Edited by Mikallo

Seriously, none of you mentioned "Bluebacca" yet? :P

I have two names that stick around, although I made up many more. The first is "The Power of The Fish":

Garven Dreis
Jan Ors (Determination, Nien Nunb, Ion Cannon Turret)
Ibtisam (PTL, HLC, Sensor Jammer)

It was all about maximizing the power output of Ibti, and it worked splendidly back in a day. I've won a couple of local tournaments with it.

The second name is actually for the list I have never flewn with yet. "The Three Shepherds" are pretty simple and go as follows:

3x Delta Squadron Pilot (Ion Cannon) :D

got a new one.

all aboard the pain train.

col,jendon with fcs, hlc, st-321, engine upgrade.

doom shuttle

and shuttle with gunner, advance sensors, gunner.

one point bid.

either painful to fly/fly against, idk yet the jury is at recess, and then they will demand nap time

The only one I have named... and done a few variants of is one I call Hobbietown. ... play on the Hobby Town franchise. Its

Hobbie+R2D6+PTL

Biggs Darklighter

Tarn Mison

Red Sqdn Pilot

Cant remember if im missing anything.

My list:

KRACKER JAX

Krassis + HLC

Carnor Jax + PTL - Hull Upgrade

2x Academy Pilots

* can substitute ties for shuttle or a mix of named ties minus hull upgrade on Jax

VADER'S KRACKER JAX

Krassis + HLC + Recon Specialist

Carnor Jax + PTL

Doomshuttle
