Here's something I just kinda cooked up. Basically centers around a Rebel raid and a jamming ship in Epic. Probably not that competative, probably spent too much on Keyan and Miranda.

Any thoughts/feedback?

I think you nailed it already - your named pilots are costing you a lot of total red dice thrown. Keyan alone costs as much as two more Blues, and Miranda as much as two more Golds kitted out the way you have them. My recommendation would be to downgrade to generic pilots and consider the Tacticians on all of the B-Wings for a little synergy with your transport. Also think about downgrading from named pilots to upgrade to PS4 generics - Greys and Daggers. In general, your combo of TLT Y-Wings to cover the rear for your B-Wings seems very powerful, especially if you can squeeze some damage out of your GR75.

My partner and I just went undefeated with a crushing margin of victory at a Team Epic tournament and it had a lot to do with people spending too many points on too few ships - we just rolled a lot more dice and had a lot more hitpoints. Just my perspective...

Yeah I think you are right on the money swapping out the Aces, except for Horton. I might replace the 2 aces with another blueand a flight of thruster A-wings to act as a flank. Or Superdash.

I like this idea. Bs and Ys make very tempting targets for TIE swarms in epic and your A-Wings will be in a good position to punish them for not watching their six-o'clock. Keep boosting to try to get into range 1 and don't be afraid to bump opponent's ships as long as you still have a shot on the guy behind the one you bump. If you stay on target with your Bs, letting their many HPs soak damage, you'll be given lots of good targets for your flankers and Ys bringing up the rear. Might be worth taking the title on half your Ys - I killed lots of fighters with double-tap shenanigans because opponents were so focused on the crazy number of red dice my teammate' Bs were rolling.

If I did titles i'd probably switch from TLT to Ion, I really considered that but I want the range 3 rain to force them close. Miranda while admittedly in need of replacement with something cheaper - her role was to ion bomb anything that gets too close.

Transport and 7 ships? Not good. I run 7 ships with a 130+ point cr90. Naked daggers and tlt Greys are going to be much more effective per their points. The only named pilots I run are roark and biggs. And with all those 1 agility ships you could use biggs (naked) to help them out.

Yeah, probably sticking with removing Doni , and replacing Keyan with another blue, then with the change getting 3-4 a-wings. Maybe a flight of 4 Z's. Not sure I want to run Biggs.
