Store Tournament this weekend, just a few list choices...

So… Last tournament of this 4 month series on Sunday… Had planned on fielding some of the new stuff, but not yet legal J… So I’ve narrowed it down to the following:
Jake Farrell — A-Wing 24
Push the Limit 3
Chardaan Refit -2
Autothrusters 2
Ship Total: 27
Ten Numb — B-Wing 31
"Mangler" Cannon 4
Ship Total: 35
Etahn A'baht — E-Wing 32
Wingman 2
R2-D2 4
Ship Total: 38
Or:
IG-88B — Aggressor 36
Expert Handling 2
Advanced Sensors 3
Heavy Laser Cannon 7
Autothrusters 2
Ship Total: 50
Emon Azzameen — Firespray-31 36
Flechette Cannon 2
Proximity Mines 3
Tactician 2
Seismic Charges 2
Proximity Mines 3
Anti-Pursuit Lasers 2
Andrasta 0
Ship Total: 50

So, either a 2 ship Firespray/Aggressor or a three ship Rebel list... Mostly just trying something different... Thinking the Ion Cannon might be better on Emon's Firespray, but I really like the Prox Mines... Anything major I am overlooking?

This is a first, but you over-formatted.

I like your aggressor/firespray build better.

:-) Yeah, was late and I have no idea why it did that... Yes, the dual large base build seems safer certainly...

Ditch the Flechette Cannon for some Engine Upgrades, though.

I like your Firespray/Aggressor build but like DraconPyrothayan suggested, replacing the Flechette Cannon and Anti-Pursuit Lasers with Engine Upgrade would be better I think.

Here's a variant for your Rebel list:

Jake (Test Pilot, Chardaan Refit, Veteran Instincts, Push the Limit, Autothrusters)

Ten (Advanced Sensors)

Etahn (Lone Wolf, R2-D2)

100 points

I think proton rockets on Jake are better than adv sensors on Ten, but YMMV.

Maybe. I know Proton Rockets are great on A-Wings, and especially on Jake, for that one alpha strike. But you then need to also remove Autothrusters or something else since Chardaan Refit can't apply. The key thing for me on Jake is VI. Plus, with Etahn and Ten, you really want Ten to be able to fire every turn (and maximize that attack if possible) and Advanced Sensors can help with that a great deal.
