I can't promise to get any games in (I really want to!), but some combos I'd be wary of:
Tarn + R7 + IA + Etheric Rudder.
Tarn + R7 + IA is already fairly tanky, so this could put him over the top. However! At PS3, he is easy to fly around.
Similarly: Luke + R8 would be basically guaranteeing an evade result every time. This might not be OP, but would be worth looking at.
He has enjoyed a resurgence recently, as the Biggs+R4+Int combo is a decent answer to alpha strikes (perhaps the rebels only decent answer). But if Biggs was available to all factions, I don't think he would be all that popular to Scum or Imperial players. They have so many better options in my opinion.
Yes. Biggs is big (sorry) because the amount of firepower flying around requires that you either A: have absurd defense mods and just, you know, don't get hit by a four-hit attack or B: have enough hitpoints to win a damage race. The Rebels have no ships that meet condition A, but Biggs sort of--sort of--meets condition B, by decreasing the amount of incoming damage, soaking the non-repeatable alpha strikes and pushing his buddies into an endgame. Roll enough crits and R4-D6 isn't enough, of course. Or just be Bossk.
This is why the non-Biggs list that's seen success recently has 40 hitpoints across three ships. Because holy ****, 40 hitpoints. Even with triple torpedo boats it'll take two turns to down a Lothal.
I just posted a new thread for my fan-made E-Wing expansion, Warriors of the New Republic! Go check it out!
