My favorite rebel build

By Zeodra, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Poe with R5-P9, Weapos Guidance, PTL, Integrated astromech. Red Ace with R2-D2, Comm Relay, Integrated astromech. And Gold Squadron Pilot with R7 astromech, ion cannon turret.

Any suggestions?

First off I would never put integrated astromech on a good astromech, weapon guidance not really worth it on Poe you want to hold onto that focus for as long as possible. Autothrusters is mandatory on Poe.

For the red ace again never launch those guys into space, not worth it and also depressing.

Lastly take a look at Tarn with R7 its a strong combo.

Good luck to you, hope this helped.

Autothrusters on poe, much better for him than the integrated. You could save the two points by either ditching the weapons guidance (not very synergistic with R5P9) or by switching ptl out for VI.

I don't mind red ace so much... He already has the comm relay (mandatory), so there's not a great deal I'd change there. It's not a ship I'd run, but I respect it nonetheless.

I don't like the R7 on the gold sq though. In fact I'm not really sold on the ion cannon either.

I think if you have the points you're probably just better off with the tlt stressbot.

otherwise, maybe just tlt with an R2, or maybe R7-T1 if you can squeeze the points in.

If you manage to save enough points for autothrusters on red ace whilst you're doing this, even better.
