So I wanted to try out this core build for a while:

2xGreen Sqd Pilots (A-Wings)

-Adaptability

-Crack Shot

-Chardaan Refit

-A-Wing Test Pilot

-Autothrusters

2x20 = 40 Points.

2xBandit Sqd Pilots (Z-95s)

2x12 = 24 Points.

This leaves me with 36 points to play with. I was thinking that I would add one of the following things:

Midanda Doni (K-Wing)

-TLT

-Chopper (cause why not)

35 Points.

Poe Dameron (T 70)

-VI

-R2-D2

-Integrated Astromech

36 Points.

Nera Dantels (B-Wing)

-Deadeye

-Proton Torps

-EM

-Guidance Chips

-FCS

-Tractor Beam

36 Points

What do you guys think, what would be the best option for a solid ship to support the rest of the list?

BTW I don't have more Adaptability and Autothrusters cards so as to give them to Poe by dropping VI and R2-D2 down to R5-P9.

Poe is definitely the best option even without auto-thrusters. The other ships would get crushed by U Boats.

Also adaptability seems pointless. Push the Limit would be much more useful.

Lothal Rebel with Hera & Chopper crew?

Provides a nice solid center for the squad;

The enemy can't afford to ignore it, and when they focus fire on it you should be able to easily make quite a nice killbox with your other ships.

Bonus: It's something really big and tough you can send in to beat up on things that would ordinarily give your other ships quite a bad day.

That adaptability gives you options during deployment based off what ever list you get paired with

You have the bumpers, you have the defence against torpedoes with tokens, you have crackshot for aces but only two.

I would say put your money in Miranda. Her 4 dice TLT or Primary turret can really make a bad day for an ace and her SLAM can get you past Uboat's deadly arcs.

The Lothal Rebel is something I had definitely considered but what keeps me from including it is that it must basically be bare bones and where the Ghost shines is when is has an FCS for extreme action economy, especially when paired with Hera.

The Adaptability on the A wings can either push them to PS 4 when I need it, or make them PS 2 when I don't need the PS boost to have them move together with the Z-95s.

As far as Uboats go, my local meta does not have many, if any, of those. Yet at least.
