3 E-Wing lists?

By LeoHowler, in X-Wing

Hey all, just curious if anyone out there has had any experience with running 3 E-Wings in 100 point games, and if so, how do you fly them and equip them? It seems a bit challenging to do so with just a few points to work with. Do you add a Z-95 as well? I've just only flown one of my E's, so I'm curious what people really do with them.

There was a guy flying 3 e-wings in the last tourney I went to. He had flechette's and r3-a2 so they could all 3 toss stress. Can't remember what else. It did alright but lost to swarm pretty badly on time.

My friend Vorack has run 3 E-wings in the past, rather successfully. Corran Horn, Etahn, and a Knave with some upgrades, including Swarm Tactics to raise the Knave (or maybe both of them?) to PS8 for shooting. It was surprisingly powerful with all the crits and focus firing. I'd seriously consider trying it out.

Etahn, Corran and a knave is 94 points. Doesnt leave much leftover. Etahn with 2 knaves is 86. Problem is you are low on pilot skill. Corran and 2 knaves is 89 which leaves plenty for Corran to suit up and a little lefover for the knaves.

This is about the best I could come up with

39 points
Corran Horn
Fire-Control System, Swarm Tactics
34 points
Etahn A’baht
Swarm Tactics
27 points
Knave Squadron Pilot

Fly them in close formation and joust on angles.

The alternate is 3 x Blackmoon with FCS and R7's or Sensor Jammers.

I really love E-Wings, for reasons I don't fully understand. I also looked into trying to make the best EEE list possible when wave 4 came out. It's possible there are some more upgrades out there now that could make some of the lists I came up with better.

I think I had one a lot like this one that I ended up calling "E Train".

I flew a EEE list a few times and did all right in a casual situation, but it's hard to see them being fully competitive without some major breakthroughs.
