Took the following list to the finals at the last local tournament, wondering if there is any way to tweak it for the upcoming store championships.

Nera Dantels — B-Wing 26 Fire-Control System 2 Proton Torpedoes 4 Advanced Proton Torpedoes 6 Blue Squadron Pilot — B-Wing 22 Fire-Control System 2 Heavy Laser Cannon 7 Blue Squadron Pilot — B-Wing 22 Fire-Control System 2 Heavy Laser Cannon 7

This list was basically built to counter the two most common lists in my area - large turret ships and phantoms. The HLC/FCS combo quickly takes down the large ships while Nera's torpedoes laugh at the phantom's arc dodging attempts. It worked as intended. My only loss (in the finals) came against a BBXY list and was more a result of my mistakes and poor dice than a weakness in the list.

While not common in my area, I do see this list having trouble against TIE swarms and 4+ ship rebel lists. Too many targets and attacks coming my way. I am looking for suggestions on how to counter them without losing the edge against large ships and phantoms. I would like to get a fourth ship in but I don't see how without radically altering the list. Ion weapons would also be nice but I don't want to lower damage output by dropping the HLC.

I don't think there is anyway. Not without dropping the HLC's and even then you're going to get a Bandit. I'd suggest that against a swarm, which could cause you issues just play sniper with the Blues. Try to stay at range 3 as much as possible.
