So i tried building a competitive rebels list, but dunno if i "succeeded" since i am quite new to the game. Any insight / critique is welcomed.

It's not too bad, Vrill can be a big blocker, and APL can get some damage in. You could also consider using an Ion Cannon on him to get the most out of his ability. The Y-wing will double stress a ship, if you get the ion shot in, they will carry 2 stress with them next round and you can get 2 rounds of extra dice shots at an actionless ship.
Very nice list. I played something quite similar at two tournaments and did OK (3-2 and 2-2). Here was my list:
Poe (VI, R5-P9, Autothrusters)
Gray (TLT, R3-A2, BTL-A4 title)
Vrill (Recon Specialist)
100 points
It's a bit of a one-trick pony but it can be effective. I usually kept both the Gray and Vrill together, while Poe flanks. Opponents' aces especially are very afraid of the stressbot so they tend to do suboptimal maneuvers/actions just to stay away or out of arc.

I was in between APL and Ion Projector but the i preferred the damage over the Ion cause every damage they can't evade against an Ace counts!
I have been wondering about these stress hogs. I thought the R3-A2 FAQ clarified that TLT only causes R3-A2 to active once and so there would be no double stressing anymore? Did something else happen I can't find that allows the double stress still?

BTL-A4 title allows you after you perform a primary weapons attack to immediately attack with a secondary turret weapon, thus 2 attacks, 2 stress. Though you can only attack on your firing arc cause of the title.
