I suppose the notion is to lead with Ello and Jake, since they have actual green dice. Farlander is 'ace insurance' I suppose, since he can react considerably to slippery aces.

For one extra point though I'dprefer poe instead of ello

Interesting list that seems to get the job done. My initial thoughts about it were only about the R2 on Ello. He can T-Roll as a white maneuver, so the R2 is really only there if you want to K-turn or are facing some control aspects (which can be pretty big depending on the meta). If you don't expect to be playing against those types of lists often, perhaps another droid would be better? R5 or R5-X3 are other potential choices. However, having the insurance of green turns could come in handy in a tournament setting. Something to consider at least. In my local 'meta', I would opt for keeping R2 due to the presence of tacticians, R3-A2s, and flechette cannons/torps.

So I changed Ello's predator to outmaneuver and upped the droid to R7-T1 because I couldn't find my other astros, and I dropped Jake's outmaneuver to wired.

Then I played 5 games with it today. I forgot Farlander had a pilot ability in all 5, because i am an idiot. Despite all this, the list held its own. Three wins, a loss outright, and a game where I killed two ships then chased Corran Horn around for an hour until he killed me. I count the last one as a draw because it woulda gone to time in a tournament.

Gonna put the R2 back because i found my R2's, and stress generators are a thing, but outmaneuver did work on ello. Guess I'll put outmaneuver back on Jake too.
