Hey all,
I have been tinkering around with this build and wonder what you think about it? (are there any glaring holes?)
Kanan (VCX-100)
FCS
Dorsal Turret
Recon Spec
Jan Ors
Title
Kyle (HWK-290)
Title
TLT
Recon Spec
Zeb (Shuttle)

......ALSO, WHAT KANAN BUILDS ARE YALL FLYING?!?!?!?
Well, the only glaring weakness I can see is quad tlt lists:
Neither ship really has the agility to run them down and keep them at range 1, and the tlt's will kill you faster than you can kill them whilst mostly ignoring kanan's ability.
My Kanan list? Kanan & Jake Farrel. At the moment of writing this it's about 5 or 6 threads down from this one, so I can probably get away without reposting it 
Swarms could be tricky as they normally have the maneuverability to stay out of your primary arcs, the agility to not be unduly worried by the turrets and enough of them that you will run out of Focus tokens before they run out of ships to shoot.
Thanks for the insight. luckily my local meta is not heavy on TLT!
I think you have 1 point spare in that list (assuming I have done my maths correctly 
).
In that case, it might be worth swapping out FCS for Reinforced Deflectors. Normally I like FCS as it is cheap, efficient and works well with the Ghost's big primary and multiple attacks. However Reinforced Deflectors are handy for dealing with torpedo strikes which are likely to be a big thing going forwards. Given that the aim of this build is keep Kanan alive, it might be worth considering.
That is a very good idea. and i will definitely consider that!
So far, I've only played the following Kanan build:
Red Ace (R2-D2, Comm Relay, Shield Upgrade)
Kanan (Fire-Control System, Recon Specialist)
Prototype (Chardaan Refit, Autothrusters)
100 points
So a very lean Kanan but it was effective. I was able to block well with the A-Wing though and Red Ace would just be a monster for the end game. I may try a variant which could be better: switching the Shield Upgrade to Autothrusters on Red Ace and adding Autoblaster Turret on Kanan.
Red Ace (R2-D2, Comm Relay, Shield Upgrade)
Kanan (Fire-Control System, Recon Specialist)
Prototype (Chardaan Refit, Autothrusters)
100 points
Alternatively give Red Ace Integrated Astromech which is free which allows you 2 points to spend somewhere else.
This is the Kanan build I've used before. It's fun and good synergy but is prone to get blocked as you fly Biggs behind the ghost to get the obstruction from it and Garven nearby to pass a focus token. Because of this, Zeb is super effective and if something blocks the ghost they have to shoot at Biggs if he is still alive.

Only trouble with that build is that if Biggs bumps the Ghost, he loses his action meaning R2-F2 cannot be used. Maybe old R4-D6 would be better. Potentially not as powerful but it does at least guarantee him a minimum lifespan.
