New Player, Rebel List Feed Back

By Neobuzzard, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I just started playing a few days ago, and I really like the rebel pilots/ships so I'm planning on going that rout. Now I've looked at a lot of peoples posts for list ideas and ship builds and the biggest thing I've noticed is to have a plan, don't just put together a bunch of ships for no reason. I came up with a list I'd like feed back on before I start buying/ordering more ships.

The plan is to have a bunch of front loaded damage and burst down a ship or two then try to win with numbers, having the Z-95's start the game flying escort for the B-Wing, then have one break off and wingman for Poe once his payload is used up.

Any thoughts and c&c are welcome.

"Boom" List

I think that Poe and R5-P9 have good synergy.

How about giving Nera a Fire Control System, to help fire that second Proton Torpedo? Downgrading the Talas to Bandits, or replacing the Cluster Missiles with Adv.Homing Missiles would give the two points needed to do that.

In my opinion (I'm not an expert at list-building), it would be better to get rid of at least one Cluster Missile, to give an EPT to Poe (like Predator, which seems to work well with his pilot ability).

Anyway, it's a good start!

Still, the best way to know if a list is good/fun, is to try it in a game.

I had also though about removing the B-wing for another T-70 with Blue Ace and giving Poe VI. Something like this.
