5x Spice Runner, 5x Autoblaster Turret/Feedback Array, 5x Tactician

At range 2 in arc stress something. Then it has to get close to this.

Obvious troll list but I can't help but feel you have a somewhat reasonable chance of taking out a Palp Aces with it. 5x ABT Y-Wings has won a Store Championship or two.

How do the Hwks survive at R1? Seems a little fragile to me. Feedback Array is single use if I remember and Y-wings are much tougher. What am I missing?

Feedback Array is multi-use. 1 damage to enemy and 1 damage and 1 Ion to you.

a HWK is no more fragile than an Xwing or Kihraxz. Not that hard to kill but unlikely to be one shotted - frankly unlikely even to be two shotted.

The autoblaster turret seems a better bet - its lethal and nearly automatic damage within range 1 withou blowing yourself up. A feedback array might as well be on a bugzapper '95 for less points.

Not sure I'd take HWK-290s in as attackers, even in a swarm setting. Like ParaGoomba said, Y-wings would be a better bet.
