Playing around with an action oriented list. Kyle swallows up focus and can toss them around and provide some solid offensive support at range 1-2.

Corren Horn can PtL to shoot and Cracken's wingman can remove his stress so that after Cracken shoots, Corren OR Kyle can take an action. Everyone is PS 8 so I can choose how they move and how they shoot. I ran this list with the hull upgrade on Corren but Cracken needed something to help keep him alive.

I was also tossing the idea of replacing the PtL on Corren to a predator but it doesn't really fit the theme.

Thoughts?

I like it!

Big fan of Corran but I would be worried he might get focused on early then your list is a bit toothless

Yeah. Yet another reason to throw the Hull Upgrade on Corran then Airen, but between Kyle and Airen, Corren can really turtle up (focus/evade) without even using one of his actions AND he's got trusty R2 to replenish health. But if everyone focus fires on him, I can see it being a problem, not that hitting a 3 agility ship is easy to do.

Would a shield upgrade be a better buy for Corran than a hull upgrade? It would give R2 a bigger pool of shield points to regen.

It would be a better buy but the list is 100 points. We'd need to squeeze a point out of somewhere at that rate. I suppose we could take the VI off Katarn just accept he moves first and shoots last.
