I really want all my Proton Torpedoes to be useful, and I also enjoy running the same PS through my lists. Is this a reasonable way to run Nera? I tossed in the best PS 5 pilots I could think of.

While i really like AS on the Bwing, I think since nera is a missle boat, I would consider FCS instead, as this will help give you the action economy you need to actually use those torps. Another thing you might consider is munitions fail safe or dropping a torp to take munitions failsafe, though I believe it is only one point and you appear to have one left.

I skipped the FCS because I gave Nera Deadeye, but since I may use the focus or the target lock to fire ordinance I stay see the benefit. I did debate over initiative bid or Failsafe though.

My "Super BEE" list is similar. Give Etahn Outmaneuver instead though.

and I need to repaint the ships in a yellow and black design.

On the same subject, on any Nera load out, I would be hard pressed to not consider Deadeye and Recon Spec. Yes, it's a 5 point combo, but you could make room by dropping AdvS and the R2 on Etahn (he has plenty of green anyways, not to say that it isn't useful though).

Or, you could switch Biggs out for Gemmer, which gives you a few more points to play with, and keeps you from "having" to run in a formation.

Gemmer w/ CR, PTL

Nera w/ Deadeye, Recon Spec, PT, APT

Etahn w/ PTL, R2

Or, leave it at two PT for Nera, and swap PTL for PR on Gemmer for more ordnance.

Super BEE

100 Points

I would be hard pressed to not consider Deadeye and Recon Spec.

That's a nice combo on her. But is 5 points for 1 torp worth it? I'd think you'd almost need to have 2. Only because after you fire your torp, a 2nd focus isn't that amazing on a B-Wing.

I agree - I would always take Nera with two torps, even if they're just flechettes, unless I'm just using her as a 26pt EPT PS5 B wing. Which there's no foul in that.

Though I think people underestimate how often they'll get an evade on defense with a B wing. If we take a standard 3 focused attack, the opponent will do on average 1.88 damage against an unfocused defender, which means it will take 5 attacks to kill you. In the course of those 5 attacks, you'll have a 76% of rolling at least 1 focus. So assuming you spent a focus on your attack, the recon spec (for 4 points) is giving you a .76 hull (which costs 3 points). So, its defensive value is approx 2.28 points, meaning you're only paying 1.72 points for the offensive potential of the combo.

Note, these numbers are not meant to be gospel, since they're only assuming R2 attacks from 3 dice attackers with focus tokens. Obviously if its Nera vs. Swarm at R3, that second focus gains quite a bit of value, and without running the numbers will almost for sure result in an extra evade result.

So, while it's not great on defense, it's far from useless.

I have been running Recon Specialist and Jan on two B-Wings and it hasn't done my any favors lately. I wanted to keep Nera affordable and efficient, so I didn't want to spend the extra 4pt when I was already holding 2 torpedoes. I have been considering another E-Wing, and if that happens I could see myself running a similar BEE list. With a second E-Wing, I would definitely consider trying Nera with two Flechette and Recon, though.

If you go nera, you might as well go full ham. While incredibly stupid, I'll have fun trying this at least once.

When you spend 43 on a ship you really want it to have either high killing potential like a phantom or high survivability like the falcon and nera offers neither I really can't see her living long enough to make those points back.

I really like Nera with 2 PT and Predator. Sometimes i throw chewie on her too. Or FCS. A proton torp with a reroll will net you 4 hits quite often and even when they're gone she can still put the hurt down
