That'd be:

For those not willing to click links. .

I might change the BSN for Garven actually, with an R7, to ensure Poe has a focus token to play around with.

I had thought about that as well. My problem is the durability of the X-wing as the B gives me a bit more room to play with and more room for error HP wise. Granted once the Astro launcher makes a debut that renders it a moot point. Direct hit! -flips droid and IA- Nope.

not to be an utter prick, but I can't fathom r7-t1 on wedge (or any X-wing, really) when you could have the immaculate BB-8 and PTL

I'd also highly recommend placing r3-a2 on the novice. Poe's ability is far too important to risk getting stressed over (and the novice has no ability ) and it's also completely contradictory to Wired (why re-roll focus when you could just convert them to relevant results?) and Wired + stress are also completely contradictory to Weapon's Guidance (requires focus)

3 points you get for tossing r3-a2 + wired can get you r5-p9, instead

None taken, I play against a lot of folks at my local store who like IG's and wedge is the primary target as they use VI to boost the pilot skill. So with that and the brawling I do in asteroids against IG's that favor autoblasters and other ships that like to do barrel rolls and such (Which is heavy based again on the local.) so with rebels I kinda have to tailor it to counter those or to finagle movement to put myself at range 2. Also with stress bot, Focus for action, declare target, stress, roll more than one eyeball, re-roll,and profit. Happened to me a lot last night when I was using Poe, Wedge and a Rook X. However, I do love the ptl BB-8 movement shenanigans.
