So, Dash becomes... expensive. 55 points is a LOT to sink into a ship. And yet it was hooves down the most fun I've had flying a ship in a long time. First, Dash ignores obstacles during movement and during actions. The entire map is his playground and, as long as you don't finish your round on one, there is no impact whatsoever. Further, he has a HLC which can be fired in any direction. Sure he can't shoot at range one, but as long as you can somehow adjust your position after movement, this shouldn't be a problem. Oh, and he has the Boost and Barrel Roll actions in this setup. With push the limit, he can do both actions, and coupled with the incredible YT-2400 dial, he becomes easily the most maneuverable ship in the game. Forget the Phantom, if you don't block Dash and he is unstressed, it becomes nigh impossible to pin him down. This becomes even more difficult when you realize that you don't have to worry about facing with Dash. No other ship in the game is this maneuverable and squirrely, with the possible exception of Echo.

Couple the largest interceptor in the game with a smaller interceptor. Jake Farrell comes into his own here. He can boost, barrel roll, and focus in a single turn, meaning he is not a threat to be taken lightly. He too can escape firing arcs well, and with all the green on that dial, he can shed stress with ease.

Round this out with a Green Squadron Pilot with Predator. He effectively has a permanent TL on anyone he shoots, allowing him to use his actions defensively or to move.

It's a very, very nimble list. The GSP is the weak link here, but at 20 points you can afford to lose him. I've been tempted to drop him to a Prototype Pilot for the points to give upgrades elsewhere, but I haven't tried it yet.

It might not be the most competitive list, as it will fall apart to sturdy turret lists, but it is incredibly fun to play with.

Reminds me of my old falcon list where it was Han and 2 greens and everyone had PtL among other things.

Ptl jake is awesome. Add in outmaneuver! Tala+ion missile to get a tich of control?

hmm, Jake+PTL = rebel Soontir

a tank + 2 flankers. i like it.

360 HLC? holy spacecow! Thats some terrifying firepower.

It was SO much fun. I'm hyper mobile and can shoot you in any direction? Sign me up.

I'd try to find a way to add nien nunb to that outrider if ya can.

Would be lovely to try something similar.

Dash - PtL, Ion Pulse Missile, Engine Upgrade, HLC, Outrider, Kyle Katarn

Tycho - PtL, Proton Rocket, Stealth Device, A-wing Test Pilot, Daredevil

Let's see if you can lock this down.

Dumb question: If dash hits an asteroid, does he still roll for damage?

nope... he ignores them... unless he totally ends on them... then no attack.

You really want Kyle on that 2400 as well for the free focus. If you are boosting and barrelling all the time you are wasting the HLC, at least with Kyle you can shoot effectively as well.

I was thinking about this as well. However, in my limited testing, I found that I often wasn't always taking both action. I'd take one, then push for focus or TL. Still, if I could find the 3 points, I would.

Forget the Stealth Device, put on Experimental Interface. Free Daredevil every turn, plus 2 other actions.

I find that stressing Dash really restricts his movement options because the greens are so slow on the Outrider. also his 4 dice attack definitely needs some sort of modifier to be effective.

Those would be my exact concerns as well. Clearing stress would be difficult, especially when opponents can exploit your range 1 bubble. And TL'ing is essential on the HLC.

Although if you're pairing him with A-Wings, a Wingman upgrade could help out with the stress.

What about Tycho, PTL, Test Pilot, Daredevil, Chaardian Refit and experimental interface? Or PTL A wing and expose? No daredevil then, but now you're rolling three attack dice? Just spit balling.

Edit: or add Expert handling for a boost barrel roll like Jake, but higher PS and no need to clear stress every round.

If you haven't played with or against the YT-2400, it's going to surprise you how well it stays at range. Sable, a very solid list indeed. This is a list I want to play test:

Dash Rendar + Veteran Instincts + Heavy Laser Cannon + Outrider (49)

Chewbacca + Gunner + C-3PO + Millennium Falcon (51)

I've been kicking around the idea of

Green

+predator

+daredevil

Comes in at 23ish points with the refit. Looks incredibly nimble and accurate.
