All 3 ships get stress and stay stressed, but maintain maneuverability and dice modification. Keeping this in my back pocket for when the stress meta shows up!

Heh. That looks amusing. Well, whenever you face a stress build!

I think I would put r3a2 on horton instead

Looks fun though.

Both certainly valid options (perhaps with BTL-A4 on Horton as well, Ayleron). As you say, McQuirk, it's down to playstyle.

Not a lot of fire power....

Define "a lot of firepower"

A TLT, a 3 attack ship and a 2 attack arc dodger are good enough imho

Also I feel like you'd be better served with FCS and VI on Ibtisam instead of Wired and SJ,

I'd probably mix the two. FCS is less useful when you've got a permanent reroll from the stress token. However, the same argument can be levelled at Wired. Maybe VI and SJ?

That's a good shout actually, yeah.

Eh, I think there's enough there. B-Wing's hit hard, Horton's TLT will pour out consistent damage, and Tycho's non-stop PTL+Juke means he's getting a lot of modifications, three dice shots in R1, and either forcing damage through or stripping tokens for his partners with Juke.

I don't think it's got a lot of "burst" and high HP lists may cause trouble, but I don't think there's a prohibitively low amount of damage output here.

Keyan could be useful too in an anti-stress list, using the stress as focus on attacks

Don't forget that Juke you have on Tycho here is almost as good as crackshot which helps a 2atk quite a bit, of it they take the bait and focus it back up then they can't focus on the next roll.

In yo' face stress meta!
