Hey guys-

Kinda throwing together a list of stuff I seldom use. Never used a YT-2400 yet, so that'll be fun. As the topic says, I'm debating between two ships in this following list:

Leebo:

Determination

Mangler

Outrider

Gold Squadron Pilot:

ICT

BTL-A4

R2 Astro

__________________________________

Option 1:

(x2) Tala Squadron Pilot:

Hull Upgrade

Option 2:

Prototype Pilot:

Chardaan Refit

Autothursters

Prototype Pilot:

Chardaan Refit

Both come out to 100 points. I'm not sure if the additional movement options and survivability of the A-Wings offset the Pilot Skill of the Z-95's. Hull upgrades on Z-95's makes them resilient as X-Wings, though the extra green dice (and the one with autothrusters) are likely to cancel just as many hits as the hull upgrade could soak up. Though, green dice are not to be trusted and with (potential) Predator rerolls, I could be upset I didn't have the extra health.

Any suggestions?

I'd go with the two Prototypes because they make better blockers but I wouldn't spend the points on Autothrusters. Instead I'd spend those two points to put R3-A2 on the Y-Wing. Having the option to double stress a target is better than making an annoying ship a little more annoying.

If you don't have R3-A2 there I'd pick a combination of crew and astromechs that you do have that add up to 2 points. Rebels have a lot of decent crew choices for one or two points.

R2 and R5 are both solid one point Astromech choices for Y-Wings. If you took one of those you could fit Nien Nunb as crew for Leebo. With R2 and Nien Nunb your list will be pretty decent at dealing with stress.

Dash is a nice 2 point crew. Sure it lets you shoot while parked on an asteroid but the more important thing is that it lets you get a defense bonus from obstacles while not granting one to your opponent.

I think any combo of crew and astromech you go with will be more helpful than Autothrusters on a Prototype.

Why not mix it up and take one Tala w/ Hull and one Prototype? See which one works better for you.

Whoops, forgot about the R2 astro on the Y-wing.

Dash is an interesting idea...hadn't considered him before. I was reluctant to put anymore points on Leebo, but I think you're right about Autothusters not giving a meaningful contribution.

Jan and Han are options as well but I can't imagine either being that strong in this list.

I think Han would be better in a ship that is going to have Target Lock as it's default action. The YT-2400 can get a lot of mileage out of defensive focus tokens and Leebo is low enough PS that in a lot of cases will get shot at before getting to shoot. I'd love to put Han on a Shuttle or a Decimator.
