This is an idea I have been toying with for a 100 point list. I really like the Falcon for durability and turreting but I want to run a 4-ship squadron with some decent damage output. Using Headhunters with missiles as backup achieves this to some extent.
Chewie in Falcon, C-3PO, Predator, Millennium Falcon 49 points
Z-95 Bandit Squadron Pilot with Assault Missile 17 points
Z-95 Tala Squadron Pilot with Concussion Missile 17 points
Z-95 Tala Squadron Pilot with Concussion Missile 17 points
The idea here is pretty simple. The headhunters use their missiles as an opening salvo on turn 1 or 2 that should be enough to destroy a smaller ship or strip the shields from a larger one. Then they close to dogfighting range and get stuck in. Chewie does his usual trick of being very hard to take down and covering rear arcs with his turret. Predator boosts his offensive output a bit.
One option is to trim a Tala down to a Bandit and buy thread-tracers for the Falcon. This will make a Turn 1 salvo much easier to pull off with the low priority Z-95s (as it stands there is a good risk of them failing to target lock on turn 1 as their targets will probably not have moved yet and still be outside Range 3) and will let them Focus for better damage output. Downside of this is that they all have to target the same ship. It looks good on paper with 4 ships, 25 hit points and decent firepower. Maneuverability is limited but the 360-degree shooting from the Falcon will mitigate this to some extent.
