Have a tourney at the end of the month, and I would like to fly something other than a Fat Han or Rebel Swarm list. Would like some feedback on this stress giving list.
2x Dagger Squadron Pilot (27)
B-wing/E2 , Tactician
Eaden Vrill (34)
Tactician
Bandit Squadron (12)
Basic premise is the Dagger B's shoot at the target to give double stress, and Eaden gains an extra attack die shooting after. Bandit is there to make a 4 ship list.
I think a 3rd b-wing would be better.
Is ps4 really essential? Could have ion cannons for stress & ion.
For when you really want to make opponents rage.
I dont think Tactician on Vrill would be all that good most of his shooting is out of ark you could try
Eaden Vrill (32)
Recon Specialist (3)
Dagger Squadron Pilot (24)
Tactician (2)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
Red Squadron Pilot (23)
R3-A2 (2)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

A Red or Tarn with A3-A2 could be a good change no range restriction

I really like the suggestion of swapping out the Bwing for Tarn or a Red Xwing. As long as I shoot with Tarn before Eaden I still get the same effect and get the Eaden ability. However, I am afraid of losing a bit of tankiness of the build with putting in an Xwing but will definitely try it out. For Eaden, I tried using Dash Rendar crew and that wasn't too bad, but Recon specialist does allow a focus for offense and defense.

PS4 is only essential because I want the stress to happen on the targets, before Eaden shoots so he gets the extra attack die advantage with his ability.
I did consider dropping one of the bwings and putting in a Gray squadron Y wing with ion cannon and R3A2, but I was afraid that there wouldn't be enough firepower to drop ships faster (3 out of the 4 ships are standard attack 2).

All great suggestions that I want to try out now.
I had some similar ideas about inducing stress and using Eaden. Here are the lists I was kicking around. I do agree with you firepower comment, it makes me lean toward the Nera list since I only have 3 ships in my lists.
100 points
Eaden Vrill + Recon
Hobbie Klivian + R3-A2
Nera Dantels + 2x Flechette, Recon, Deadeye, E2, Advanced sensors
Alternate list idea
98 points (could put gunner on Vrill instead)
Eaden Vrill + Recon
Hobbie Klivian + R3-A2
Horton Salm + Dead Eye, R2-D6, Ion Turrent, 2x Flechette

Regarding Horton... Trade Deadeye for VI. If you're moving at PS10, you should be able to lock almost everything. Plus, you get to shoot your Flechettes before Whisper cloaks. Finally, once you get rid of your torps, you're still making use of those two points (R2-D6 and Deadeye that is).
