I've recently developped a list with 3 ships that should have high survivability and could possibly regenerate shields. Miranda and Poe with R5-P9 were set, but I couldn't squeeze in a 3rd ship with R2-D2. I could have taken a X-Wing generic, but I kinda wanted more of an elite pilot. So this ist what I've flown:
Miranda Doni (29)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
Jan Ors (2)
Poe Dameron (31)
Adrenaline Rush (1)
R5-P9 (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Jake Farrell (24)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Push the Limit (3)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Total: 100

and I was quite happy how it performed. Poe took some serious shots from close range and while he took around 6 damage in a couple of turns, he survived the game with 3 hull and 1 shield remaining.
Jake landed right in front of Talonbane Cobra and survived a target locked 5 dice attack without a scratch (2 evades, 1 from Jan Ors and 1 from his own Evade action).
But still I think the list needs some tuning. While Jake was fun to fly, he's lacking attack power. So I want to exchange him for something else. I could take a B-Wing or a TLT Y-Wing but I think they would be the obvious target and go down really fast. At the moment I'm opting for 2 Bandit Squadron Pilots. The Idea would be to fly them in front of Poe and give the opponent slightly better targets (range 1 instead of 2 for Poe or 2 instead of 3). Miranda would flank and try to stay at range 3 while getting behind the opponent.
For the remaining 2 points I could upgrade the Bandits to Talas to fire before all the TLT Y-Wings or I could instead exchange Jan Ors for C-3PO and have 1 point for initiative bid.
What do you guys think? Has anyone flown something similar? And what would you choose for the current metagame? Thanks for any comments.
