I like the possibility of the ultimate Conner Net K-Wing. The build I am talking about is:
Warden Squadron Pilot (23), EM (2), Conner Net (4), Advanced SLAM (2) for a total of 31 points with space for Bombardier crew if you have the point.
My first idea with this was this list:
Net Layer (31)
Miranda Doni (29), TLT (6), RecSpec (3) for 38, 3PO would be better, but I don't have that option, if you do use him when trying this list.
Luke Skywalker (28), R3-A2 (2), VI (1) for 31, a list total of 100.
This is reasonably strong versus "Imperial Aces" kind of build with 2-3 Arc dodgers, since those just die to our Net-K-Wing, but abysmal versus 4 TLTs. Luke is the only one to kind of capable of resisting them, but both Miranda and the Warden are weak to them and the Warden loses a lot of worth when there are no clear priority targets. So how does one keep up with those TLT spammers? More efficiency! Lets add some B-Wings:
Net Layer (31)
Blue Squadron B-Wing (22) * 2
Stress-Hog (25) For again a total of 100.
The 25 point slot here is very versatile. I took a Stress-Hog here, because it is a lot of fun with good jousting efficiency, fitting the B-Wings. You could also get R7 Tarn, but I hesitate to do so because R7 is a lot weaker versus TLTs than the old meta and Integrated Astromech is on its way. Biggs Darklighter is another option, but the Net laying K-Wing really doesn't like formation flying. Gemmer Sojan with PTL, AT and Chardaan is really good at staying alive versus TLTs, but not much else. He is missing the damage. A third B-Wing is possible, but it puts you in a weird spot on what to do with the remaining three points. Upgrading the Blues to Daggers gives you room for either a Rookie Pilot, which is bad, but maybe playable in this situation, or a PTL GSP A-Wing with Bombardier for the K-Wing, where the A-Wing has the same problem Gemmer has.
All of these options feel a bit meh and are incredibly weak to Predator, except for the Dagger route. I am hesitant to even put any of these on the table, although the Stress-Hog version seems like it could be my thing.
One could also go full TLT with 2 Rebel Operatives and a Gold Squaron Pilot, but the HWKs are a bit flimsy and the B-Wings will do more work.
Has anyone of you made the ultimate disabler work? What was your context, and what do you think of my concepts?
