Biggs flies next to Chopper on the approach eating hits until everything starts getting bunched up, then Chopper does whatever move will do one of two things:

1 get him in everyone elses way

2 get him out of arcs

usually by trying to 5k as much as possible when trying to do the latter or hard turn for the former. Zeb would be nice why isn't the VCX 3 crew but meh it's still good because if they are bumping you they aren't shooting you then you use your free ion shot to control the movement of whoever didn't bump you to either bump them next turn or get out of their shots. Throughout all this you should have decent enough action independent attack mods through FCS and Ezra.

Is it the best? probably not but could be fun to play.

Sabine btw is pretty much there for the title and will only come out before the VCX dies so Lone Wolf shouldn't be a problem.

Tactical Jammer is usually a good choice on a Ghost + Biggs list; fly Biggs behind the Ghost and he's a bit harder to hit. If you drop Ezra to Han Solo you can fit it in; Solo serves a similar role on that sort of Ghost build.

Different choice, the only thing I don't prefer is that it doesn't give you a focus and re-roll modifier...

Han is often equivalent on Autoblaster Turret builds where you're only rolling a couple dice, but yeah if you're going Ion Cannon Turret then Ezra might be the right choice. It was mainly a matter of trying to trim off a point somewhere. Other option for including jammers is giving Sabine VI versus lone wolf; VI is more useful versus things like defenders, allowing her to arcdodge at least some of them, but lone wolf is obviously better vs PS 8+. Probably depends on the meta in your area. I do think trying to include the jammers is worth it, particularly on Chopper since if they bump you you're basically guaranteed to obstruct them.
