Whats your opinion of this list?

Kyle accumulates focus, hands out like santa claus, biggs draws fire and regenerates with focus, Corran goes ballistic with rounds of double shooting and regenerates with R2 the rounds he can´t shoot.

I'm a huuuge fan of kyle so anytime I see him in a list I approve lol! Imo opinion the only time to take both recon and moldy crow is when he has blaster turret. That could free up 3 points for either a ptl on corran or fcs.

You'll have trouble generating offense every other turn (4 attack die primary attack.) I'm not usually a proponent of blaster turret. But for Kyle with recon spec and moldy crow, I'd use it to get that 3 attack. I would rip the astro off Biggs since it won't help as much as putting you farther in the hole of points you need to destroy before Biggs is gone.

+1

Also you can run three 3-attack ships, but usually at least one has some ability or upgrade that increases their attack potential. You "sort of" have that with corran and his two attacks in a round, but of course that means he can't attack the next.

Thx peeps - I´ve actually tried the ion turret once, and it became a huge annoyance for my opponent. And with Biggs around there was a lot of shields and hull to get through before neutralizing the ion turret.

So - with astro stripped from Biggs and ion/blaster turret swap - what should I upgrade and why?

that should be 4 points free right? maybe a shield upgrade on corran for more R2D2 goodness, or a hull upgrade on him with a1pt initiative bid

If you're dropping R5-P9 from Biggs , move it to Horn. This way you can escape with him more easily and recharge your shields.

The problem with Horn and R2D2 is it will make him predictable. You really don't want your opponent to be able to shoot Horn while he can't shoot back. It you are doing a green maneuver with Horn on an off round of shooting, your opponent can better predict where he can be. I think EU and FCS are better upgrades on Corran. He can grab a TL for his second attack with FCS, and he can really move out of arcs with Engine upgrade if he isn't going to be firing. PTL can also work as well.

But with 3 agility and a killer dial, and a green incentive to regenerate shields, maybe that opens up for some counter psychological warfare. "Will he do the obvious and green maneuver to regenerate, or continue stressed?", My point is simply that if things looks obvious, then it can be "played". Right?

Also - I´m not strong with the adverbaretions. Whats EU, FCS, PTL?

In order they are - Engine Upgrade, Fire Control System, Push the Limit.

I find that the droid on Biggs isn't going to work well. It's nice having Biggs get two focuses from Kyle and Biggs' own action, but chances are you'll want to spend both of them on defense.a better use of the points would be a straight Hull Upgrade. If you put Garven Dreis in there, so Biggs would have effectively three Focus, maybe the droid would be worth it...maybe...
