This is the list I have been flying at my LGS, and it has performed well, but I have not had to face 4 TLT's or Palpmobile + 2 aces. Can this build perform against these lists?
Poe Dameron (31)
- R5-P9 (3)
- Autothrusters (2)
- Lone Wolf (2)
Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
- TLT (6)
Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
- Ion Cannon Turret (5)
- R3-A2 (2)
- BTL title (0)
Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)
Total Squad Points = 99
Should I be looking at the BB-8, PTL build on Poe, instead?
Thanks for your help 
I would recommend, Poe with R2D2, Autothrusters and Predator. You can guarantee a shield regen more often than with R5P9, and you'll have more punch every round with Predator. Of course that means changing up your build a bit for the extra points that adds.
R5-P9, AT, LW is my favorite Poe build and some games LW never even takes effect, just provides the peace of mind that he will still be monstrous in the late game.
I run 5 Bandits, but have considered swapping 4 of those Bandits for 2 TLT Golds, that would help LW stay up. 5 Bandits provide such good blocking and board control though. Preventing actions is huge in keeping them alive longer too.

Your list is fine as is.
Here's a fun Poe list I thought of last night just before bed:
Poe, BB8, PTL, Autothrusters
Red Sq. Vet., R3A2, Wired, [integrated Astro] (when released)
Jake Farrell, Test Pilot, PTL, Vet Instincts, Proton Rockets, Autothrusters
Wired wouldmake sense on Jake, but I wanted the PS9 to get the prockets in the right place at the right time.
Standard PTL/BB8 Poe, but would consider also R5P9 and LW.
I ran this last night:
Poe Dameron (31)
Lone Wolf (2)
R5-P9 (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Wedge Antilles (29)
Push the Limit (3)
BB-8 (2)
Jake Farrell (24)
Push the Limit (3)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Wired (1)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Total: 100

Its a fun list but I don't know how competitive it is. Wedge is the obvious early target, but it allows you to get Jake and Poe in a good position while he's being focused on. Wedge hopefully does enough damage before he goes down. I do like the BB-8/PTL combo. It takes some practice to get the most out of it. Jake needed VI though. Wired doesn't really give you much but I wanted to try it. LW rarely proced on Poe and when it did it didn't do much.
I think I'd drop Wedge down to Luke with LW and R2-D2.
Edited by Jo JoI just won a tournament this weekend using this list.
Poe w/ R2-D2, VI, Autothrusters, Weapons Guidance
Miranda w/ TLT, Chewbacca
Blount w/VI, Ion Pulse Missile
Poe was a beast, Miranda was tough, and I would likely change Blount out for something else. I brought him thinking I would see more large based ships to ionize, but I only fought against small based ships all day.

People are afraid to run large base ships now. I did a small tourney of 7 people Sunday and only 2 large base ships showed up. One was the Falcon and a Shuttle. TLTs and the half scoring have knocked them down a ton of pegs.
Lone Wolf in a 4 ship squad probably isn't the best choice, right? How often will he really be far enough away from one of your ships to trigger it?
Usually never. However, if your LW ship survives to the end game, you have a serious advantage.

I was thinking about this list aswell!
You need to handle the approach carefully so you are at range 3 at first combat round, then run into range one with wedge to deal that real heavy hit with TL+ Focus and with Jake and keep Poe back as he clears up end game!
Wedge will die at some point but its if you have dealt enough damage with him that the other two can clean up!
Luke may be a good bet, who do you go for, Luke or Poe?
I won a Summer kit championship with
Poe (LW,r5p9, Autothrusters)
Miranda ( tlt, Chewbacca)
Green Squadron Pilot (ptl, wired, title, refit, Autothrusters)
The goal is to have either Poe or Miranda alive in the endgame, while Green gets mostly ignored or acts as bait and then runs away. He's been the MVP so many times, zooming in for the killing r1 shot or performing the key block!
Lone wolf activares pretty rarely in the beginning and opponents often try to kill Poe first, but if he survives until mid or late game he'll really tough to kill and can give you a win even if outnumbered.
I think it's a solid list that can handle different kind of enemies, give it a try
Well, let's submit my squadron with Poe then without starting a new thread. Help will be apreciated 
Poe Dameron — T-70 X-Wing 31 Veteran Instincts 1 R5-P9 3 Autothrusters 2 Ship Total: 37
Gemmer Sojan — A-Wing 22 Proton Rockets 3 Outmaneuver 3 Autothrusters 2 A-Wing Test Pilot 0 Ship Total: 30
Kyle Katarn — HWK-290 21 Twin Laser Turret 6 Recon Specialist 3 Moldy Crow 3
Let Poe run around Kyle with a slow speed begin of game to charge up focus tokens, with AT R5-P9 and Kyle in support he his really solid and annoying.
I find Gemmer's ability really good in combo with AT you are ninja at range 3 and 1 too and with outmanouver and Prorockets he is there for the final strike to a large or key enemy ship.
My only concern is Kyle, although i love his ability (along wiht title and recspec) i really dont know how to avoid trouble with him... if there is a way at all, of course. Instead of him, in the previous version of this squadron therewas with Keyan Farlander (B-Wing) with PTL and Engine Upgrade, more aggressive in my opionion but hard to "synergize".
I have my first tornament next week, tell me if i have to change completely the rout or there is some hope

Few something similar to this recently, but with 2x R5/TLT goldies and bandit with PTL/BB8/AT Poe. I found it did well against a palpmobile list (2x TIE advance aces) though got stomped by well flown brobots and had a close run against a rebel BBKZ list. It definitely has its tough matchups. Its weakness is relying too heavily on one ace (Poe) to do the majority of the offensive heavy lifting. TLTs can plink reliably, but 2 damage at max per turn is not particularly dangerous, except against high agility, low hull targets, where the TLTs can force through a fair amount of damage. Might try it again with 2 warthogs instead of TLTs next time.

Its actually the other way around. Twin Laser turrets are quite reliable damage against low agility targets that have very little hope of stopping the trickle of damage. High agility backed by a token (such as accuracy corrector generic advanced) has decent defenses against the TLT (not stellar, but not bad). High agility backed by 2 tokens is even better. And high agility with autothrusters is excellent defense against twin laser turrets---in fact, its the easiest way to counter twin lasers because its not very difficult to stay out of arc of a y-wing or hwk or k-wing
What about...

- R5-P9, AT, PTL.
Luke
- R2-D2, EU, PTL.

This might have some legs. Have the one point extra for int bid, increase Luke to Wedge or R5-P9 to R2-D2
I really like being able to drop a ps2 Y before they get to fire. It makes miranda and Poe infinitely more reliable. I would suggest your favorite Poe and 2 homer greens with ptl and crackshot. This lets you reliably drop a Y in the first shots and have a really tough all around squad to close them or any other four ship build out. It also forces aces to be extremely cautious, makkng Poe(Miranda) extra valuable.
