Psypoe.

It was right there in front of you!

I might drop the Prockets for a Chardaan to have 5 points available elsewhere.

A Proton Bomb might be fun.

I like it.

I've been thinking of running Juke + PTL on Tycho. Gives that two dice attack a bit more punch.

That's not a bad idea either, however you lose the awesome maneuverability of Daredevil. Makes him very hard to shake off of a target and completely unpredictable.

But it would give me a 1 or initiative bid which may be good for those other ps8 pilots like Omega Leader.

Or you can upgrade R5-P9 to R2-D2, who is (IMO) a lot better in the current meta and very much worth the extra point if you can afford it..

I was thinking something similar without the stress hog.

Poe - VI / Auto thrust/ R5P9

Red Sq Vet - Integrated Astro / R2D2 / PTL

Tycho - PTL / Wired / Auto thrust / Refit / Test Pilot

get some incredible maneuverability

or for even more dodging fun:

Poe - Thrusters / R5P9

Ello - R2D2 / Integrated Astro

Tycho - PTL / Wired / Auto thrust / Refit / Test Pilot

ohhhhh I actually like that a lot.

That's pretty good too but I'm hesitant to lose some of the options for dealing with other builds. Stresshog helps with other Ace lists, Prockets helps with large low agility ships, poe is my Ace hunter. Putting all my eggs into arc dodging would be risky... FUN.. but risky :)
