Sorry it's so much choice but any advice is welcome

That's easy. #2 is your best list by far.

Yeah #2 is a well proven list and will prob come up against something similar

I do like #1 tho. Hits hard with crits for days and is a bit different to everything out there!

so the Horny Chewy list seems to be the best bet?

One last bump!

I think all have some potential but the Chewie/Corran squad is likely to be the hardest to kill.

If you follow the crying discussions demanding partial scoring because some ships are "too hard to kill within the time limit" that squadron is a good example of what causes that outcry. It's got two ships that can hit relatively hard but which can be very hard to kill in a timely manner.

I will maintain that shield is better than engine on Corran until I die, but I agree with the above - #2 is the strongest.

Ok well I think #2 might be the best for my first competitive game and work on the rest for the future. As I say #1 is different to the meta and has worked well in the past!
