alright, i've been working on 4 ship rebel builds for a while and the forum (as always) has been a huge help. so tell me what you think of this

biggs

garven

etahn

tala sqaud

right now, everyone is naked at 96 points.

what should i do with that last 4 points?

It's a little... uncreative, but R2 Astro and Push the Limit on Etahn springs to mind.

Advanced Sensors on Etahn, and an R2 on Garven??

4 points isn't a lot. You could put Veteran Instincts (1 point) on Etahn, That would bump him from a PS 5 to PS 7 (not a huge bump, but it might help..)

Swapping the Tala for a bandit frees up one more point..

Personally, I would go for this (provided you have the Transport expansion)

Wes Janson

Etahn, Veteran Instincts

Biggs

Tala Squad

Or if you go with the above, drop the Tala to a bandit, and put an R2 unit on Wes for the extra green. Wes strips tokens, Etahn with VI can be the hammer, Biggs draws the heat, and the Tala or Bandit is a good blocker..

unfortunately i dont have the transport. i've heard its a must have if you're flying x wings.

Hmm.. Ok.. Well, still - Throw an R2 on Garven. It gives him some more green to shed stress. That still leaves you with 3 points - Veteran Instincts on Etahn Bumps him up from a PS 5 to a PS 7 and costs 1 point, so that's 2 of your 4.. Fire-Control System on Etahn would eat that last 2 points, or you could look at throwing an Astromech on him as well. R2 Astromech, R5 Astromech, R7-T1, or an R7 Astromech would all be good choices. If you were going with R7-T1, you'll have to shed a point somewhere though - drop the R2 on Garven (not recommended though) or drop the Tala to a Bandit.

Now you're shooting at 7,6,5,4. Not a huge PS bid, but it should help against mid-PS ships..

I'd drop the tala to a bandit and give him a homing missile. I know missiles are unpopular, but a bit of extra damage on the first round can be huge.

I would drop the Tala to a Bandit, then put DTF and R2-D2 on Etahn. It will help keep Biggs alive, which will help keep everyone else alive.

i havent had a chance to play with advanced sensors yet, generally viewing FCS as more valuable. so yeah, i'll go that route.

i lied, i'm going with R7-T1 and VI on etahn. he should be getting a focus from garven for defense and biggs should help him stay alive.

the tala exists to be annoying.

Well, Advanced Sensors allows you to carry out your actions prior to movement. This can be beneficial for a variety of reasons - barrel rolling when you've been blocked for instance. Advanced sensors is a very useful card.
