Hi, First Tourney next week entered just for fun, made a list similar to this and did ok with it casually, but getting my first TLT which I think will keep Jan safer.
DASHINGJAN
100 points

PILOTS
Jan Ors (40)
HWK-290 (25), Squad Leader (2), Twin Laser Turret (6), Nien Nunb (1), Moldy Crow (3), Stealth Device (3)
Dash Rendar (60)
YT-2400 Freighter (36), Opportunist (4), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Proton Rockets (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Outrider (5), Anti-Pursuit Lasers (2)

Really Like Jan, her problem is you can only use it once per round, so really need to make it count so HLC seems the way to go, What's the best way to have an HLC? Outrider.

TLT allows her some damage output, Nien Nunb helps with stress and keeping at range. Moldy crow allows focus build up to the point where, just taking another focus is pointless so squad leader allows her to help Dash without PTL. I admit having Opportunist on Dash probably isn't the best, but the idea of throwing 6 reds amuses me. PR and APL to mitigate donut dodging and ramming. I agree EU probably more conventional on Dash, but think some tourney got won by a barrel roll with APL in front of Sontir which was beautiful

your opponent wil focus first fire on Jan and he will not survive with his 1 shielded 4 hull then it will be a 1 plane squad and the know how that will end.....

I agree, this really looks like a very fragile list with some suboptimal choices in it too.

If you really want to play a 2-ship list, you need to have 2 ships that are actually tough to kill and ideally can arc-dodge a bit on top of that.

Dash can fall into this category, but Jan does really not. She will just crumble under the first salvo if your opponent has anything decent at his disposal.

Suboptimal equipment that you need to get rid of. Anti-pursuit lasers, Proton rockets, Opportunist on Dash, Squad leader, Moldy Crow, Stealth device on Jan. Without going into detail, I will just say that some of these are decent on other ships or in other situations, but they are not good enough here, if you really want to be competitive.

If you really want to go Jan Ors/Dash, consider SuperDash with Push the limit, Engine upgrade, HLC, Title, Recon Specialist, this is as good as Dash gets imho. Maybe add Kanan Jarrus when he comes out...

No idea if there is still a competitive Jan Ors build really, but it would probably include TLT, Enginre Upgrade (you need to not take all the fire or you are dead meat) Predator and then maybe Chewbacca or R2-D2 Crew... Just guessing here though.
