Paragon works well with an A-wing. Use a Squadron token to send it out and attack a ship in range to get your black die, and if you plan right, a concentrate fire Command dial can add another black die. I was able to take out a VSD in two volleys this way

This I didn't understand. If it's the A-wing doing the shooting, the 'you' requirement of Paragon isn't satisfied. But maybe I'm missing something?

You are correct this wouldnt work. Here is the text from the rules PDF.

"On upgrade card effects, the term “you” refers to the ship that the upgrade is equipped to."

aye, you need to double-arc (or have a very obliging opponent give you advance gunnery) to activate paragon

"you" would imply player IMHO

otherwise it should say "When this ship.."

Called badly written card text fixed by PDF

"you" is clearly defined by the rulebook

it's the same in X-wing minis

blame FFG's weirdness

You in the context of Armada is clearly defined as the acting ship.
