Been evolving and tweaking this for a while now, was trying it with a K-Wing but it doesnt suit my style so how about this...

Poe Dameron (38)

- BB8

- PTL

- Autothrusters

Horton Salm (35)

- Twin Laser Turret

- R2D6

- Marksmanship

Jake Farrell (27)

- Chardaan Refit

- PTL

- Autothrusters

The action economy on Poe is rediculous, Salm with his own ability and Dice Modding on both attacks is good reliable damage, and Jake does roughly what Poe does just in a different order. I was initially condsidering a couple of Headhunters but decided id prefer the extra agility of a named A-Wing with better Pilot Skill, movement and Agility.

Thoughts?

My only suggestion would be to drop R2D6 and marksmanship and switch Jake for Tycho and wired. This way, all your ship move at PS8, which is very interesting.

I was tempted to try and squeeze Tycho in there but the Dice modding (on both attacks) from Marksmanship helps too much. In testing, Horton hasnt failed to do the 2 points of damage each turn.

Jake really wants VI...maybe knock MM off of Horton and give him EH instead to save him from ATCs

Jake really wanted VI in the 2 ship meta... I'm not so sure that's the case anymore...

Marksmanship on a TLT ship? What am I missing?

Focus on both attack.

Not sure it's worth it (that's why I suggested getting rid of it and spend the 4 pts elsewhere), but with Marksmanship and Horton Natural ability, he should not miss often. Of course, that also paint a big bullseye on a ship easy to tail and focus down, but that's another story.

Marksmanship modifies all attacks from a TLT

Ah, thanks.

What about freeing up a point somehow for R5-P9 on Poe. Go with a 2 cost EPT on him?

I feel that you could ditch Jake for something else, like Arvel or another TLT boat and be better off for it. Yeah, he's a nice A-Wing, but he's still just an A-Wing. This would save you points without having to cut PtL from PoE to fit R5-P9 in.

"Why not Miranda?" -fickle(?)

I think marksmanship on Horton is a bit overkill. That's a lot of points for just two damage.

Soontir is still very much a thing.

See if I was switching the DROID on Poe I'd probably not take PTL either. There's 2 Poe builds right now. One is more attacking, the other is more evasive and action economic. I prefer the latter.

I'm open to suggestions on Jake. The original list was Salm, Poe and a cheap support ship but I can't settle on what. I'd like something agile like an A-Wing but understand it's offence is lacking and im open to suggestion.

Finally the thing with Salm is that because he is tied as my highest PS, he let's me throw multiple dice at ships like Soontir, or Phantoms etc, the kind of ships that can't afford to let 'just 2 damage' get through and make them spend evades/focus before the others get to attack.
