Having recently attended a tournament with my 3 B-wings I thought I'd ask for what to add or take out. I did reasonably well although tempted to drop kyle katarn from farlander and give him Dash Rendar instead.

My original list was:

-Keyan with HLC, BWING/E2, Kyle Katarn, expert handling and FCS.

-Blue squadron Inc FCS and HLC

-Blue squadron Inc FCS and Ion cannon

If I drop expert handling+ Kyle that gives me 5 points I could swap out the ion for another HLC. Could also add in VI.

I did struggle with a stress hog list though and arc dodgers (Tie f/o).

Any thoughts?

Should I add in a Y-wing or K wing in place of Keyan? Got a store game coming up soon so any help would be great.

I've been flying several lists lately that use multiple Bs.

I've run 4BZ, 4B (Daggers), and Y2B2Z (all PS4).

In my area it seems as though ships with a PS of 3 or lower are getting rarer, so I've started running generic ships at PS4.

That said, if you're looking to keep the same basic list I think I'd get rid of Keyan.

If you don't have a problem of losing PS 3 ships or lower early in games from focused fire, then you can probably keep the Blues.

Otherwise, how about something like this:

K-Wing: Doni with TLT [35 pts]

B-Wing: Dagger with FCS [26 pts]

B-Wing: Dagger with FCS [26 pts]

Z-95: Tala [13 pts]

Total: 100 pts

This gives you some staying power and 360 degree coverage with Doni, shooting a little earlier in the combat phase with the Daggers (and Z), and a blocker with the Z.

You could also do roughly the same thing using a Y with the TLT.

I've been liking my Y2B2Z list, but to have every ship at PS4 the only upgrade I'm using is a TLT on the Y.

I am curious why you run Kyle on Farlander?

He shouldn't have a stress to get rid of. And honestly a Focus is not going to help you much. Stress is going to take care of that on offense. While a focus on defense could help it's not going to help enough. If you really want the focus you could got push the limit and Lando. You might even be able to get some evades out of it. I am also not a big fan of FCS on B's. They are not as maneuverable as other ships. So staying in Los to the same ship turn bye turn is hard. I prefer Advance sensors. It alloys you to target lock then K turn if needed or barrel roll from behind a rock. It opens up so many moves for the B's.

These are just some of my ideas with flying a B. But if it were me, my Farlander build is

Farlander: Advance sensor, Engine, PTL, Mangler cannon

Dagger: Advance sensor

Dagger: Advance sensor

When the Tractor beams comes out I will probably put one each on the B's. Just for some fun.

My thinking with Kyle is when you get a stress as long as you can attack you can get rid of it you then get another focus back. That said a focus doesn't necessarily help with only 1 agility.

Have been really tempted to add in engine upgrades to enable me to dodge arcs or engage better if I add in ptl it means getting a focus back. I could use Jan Ors though and gain an evade in the process might help slightly.

If you take Ors then you must always take a focus action. If you don't have PTL you are stuck with very little chance to do damage.

In my experience you never need to take a focus action with Farlander. The only action I take with him are barrel roll, boost or Target lock. Depending on my position. The Target lock with the removal of stress is amazing. Being able to boost or barrel roll or both is amazing. Being able to do any action and then K turn is amazing. I also like to barrel roll and do a 1 turn to be just in front of were I was turned 90*. Just make sure you don't PTL and do a K or 1 turn. That would be bad. The other player would get to assign your move as you have stress when you reveal a red move. You also have to watch the double action to green move. You lose that all so important stress. I have done it a few times sadly. Lol

I am not sure there are any good crew to throw on Farlander. It's to hard for me to lose engine on him.
