I am playing X-wing recently and tried with some success this build (there are many phantoms and Soontier Fels in our meta):

Roark Garnet (19)
Blaster Turret (4)
Jan Ors (2)
Moldy Crow (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)

Biggs Darklighter (25)
R7 Astromech (2)

Airen Cracken (19)
Swarm Tactics (2)

Total: 100

I like how it flies, but found a lack of focus tokens on Roark Garnet, and very situational using of Cracken's free action, which has to give evade or TL for Biggs (there are no action if Cracken don't attacking).
So I want to try such squadron:

Roark Garnet (19)
Blaster Turret (4)
Recon Specialist (3)
Moldy Crow (3)

Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Advanced Sensors (3)

Biggs Darklighter (25)

Airen Cracken (19)
Swarm Tactics (2)

Total: 100

There are slightly more offence, but more fragile Biggs,

While making this squadron I got an idea for another two. Name of the topic says about them

Kyle Katarn (21)
Swarm Tactics (2)
Blaster Turret (4)
Recon Specialist (3)
Moldy Crow (3)

Roark Garnet (19)
Blaster Turret (4)
Jan Ors (2)

Biggs Darklighter (25)
R2-D2 (4)

Tala Squadron Pilot (13)

Total: 100

Blaster turret is a very powerful tool if you have enough focus tokens. So Kyle have to supply focus to Garnet or evade to Biggs, Also Biggs can restore shields. I don't know if it effective point-wise to have such heavy load on Biggs. HWKs desperatly need his protection thougth.

And there are another squadron of 'Biggs walks the hawks' with heavier punch, but weaker Biggs.

Jan Ors (25)
Swarm Tactics (2)
Blaster Turret (4)
Recon Specialist (3)

Roark Garnet (19)
Blaster Turret (4)
Recon Specialist (3)
Moldy Crow (3)

Biggs Darklighter (25)

Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Total: 100

Idea is obvious, I think. We have 4-dice blaster turret or 5-dice Biggs at R1. And 12 PS.

Which of theese squadron is more promising?

I like the list with Roark and Kyle--I'd probably drop R2D2 and Swarm Tactics in order to get something a little better than the Tala though. I was thinking a Lone Wolf green squadron pilot, or Cracken.

In several of these lists Roark becomes a liability with a Blaster Turret. Swap it out for an Ion turret. Roark with Ion, Jan Ors and Moldy Crow is surprisingly resilient. Typically you'll end up with 3 focus tokens before engagement, if Roark becomes an obvious target you swap to giving him an evade instead. For the first list I would drop the R7 and upgrade to the ion, and give the blue Advanced Sersors.

I actually played this list with 2 blues with advanced sensors instead of Biggs. I am a big fan of this list. Honestly I think that the Biggs hurts the lists firepower somewhat, he never wants to be close and is guaranteed to die. But I like what you are going for. I might have to try it out and see how it goes. I'm not sure how well it deals with a wave 5 meta though.

In the first list Biggs suffers from not being able to get focus and an evade. I wonder if it is possible to switch in Garven with R5-P9, who can pass focus to Roark in the first few turns and then give Biggs either the focus or evade when shooting. Though to do this you lose Airen and ability to reflect the 12 PS back to Roark's turret, which greatly helps versus phantoms. Garven with R5-P9 is one of my favourite pieces to pair with a Moldy crow HWK, the ability to double up on it's focus tokens during pre engagement really helps. Basically Garven just passes a focus during the end phase whether he needs to heal or not. I think adding changes the list significantly though.

Airen can do amazing things in this list particularly with B-wings barrell rolling in the combat phase.

I think in all the other lists your firepower is too low. Single bandits/Talas don't add much to a list for me.

This basic idea in the first list is a pretty solid one. I've flown a lot of HWKs and you have come across what I think is the best value HWK, Roark with Crow and Jan, plus turret. It's a great ship and performs really well. Theoretically a list always gets better with Biggs as well. I do really like the second list also, but miss the Jan tech in it. Biggs probably helps makes up for that though, even though he also wants it to protect himself.

When I've been running Roark lately, it's been with Nien Nunb, ICT and EU. It's fun watching a HWK arc dodge.

The biggest liability I've found with an arc-dodging HWK is the lack of a K-turn on its dial.

These lists rely a lot on suport ships. At the end of the day, you need ships to kill your opponents, in your list I count the B-wing. Bigs can do it, but if he gets up close and personal in a fight he is just going to die quick.

There are blaster turrets on HWK's, not ICT. They can kill things. Outside of ark also. In last list Roark can make 4-dice attacks with focus.

In my games most kills was made by Garnet.

Interesting idea. Can R5-P9 spend focus, even if shields are full?
