Need help with ideas for "Soccer Mom" list

By FatherTurin, in X-Wing Squad Lists

So I'm totally in love with the Arc-170, and I desperately want to put to put together a list using Norra and Shara. Particularly once HotR comes out, it seems that Shara should be rocking a weapons engineer and M9-G8, but I have a tendency to load too many upgrades on them, which leaves me with enough space for pretty much a couple bandits or prototypes. So..help please! Is it really as simple as cutting down the costs, tossing Biggs in and calling it a day?

Why is this a soccer mom list? Seems like closest thing to a minivan is an imperial shuttle.

Norra is Snap's mom and Shara is Poe's mom.

Here you go:

Norra Wexley (29)

+ R2-D2 (Astro) (4)

+ Push the Limit (3)

+ Tail Gunner (2)

+ Alliance Overhaul (0)

Shara Bey (28)

+ M9-G8 (3)

+ Weapons Engineer (3)

+ EPT of choice (up to 2)

+ Alliance Overhaul (0)

Biggs Darklighter (25)

+ R4-D6 (1)

+ Integrated Astromech (0)

This actually looks like a lot of fun!

That... looks like way too much fun. Dang. Now I'm gonna have to buy two Arcs.

Only thing I might consider changing is Tail Gunner on Norra. I'd almost take Recon Specialist instead so you can use her ability on offense (via Norra's lock) and defense (via her own lock). Or maybe 3P0.

I was actually thinking of Kyle, but rec spec works just as well, especially since without a third action the action-less focus from Kyle is pointless. With vectored thrusters or EU Kyle becomes necessary, but that makes Norra way too expensive.

I think a 1 point ept on shara and then give biggs an r7 astro. Shara is making the opponent reroll one hit, but if the hit is deadly enough why not just spend Shara's lock to make them reroll every hit?

I don't play rebels but the arcs are super interesting.

Edit: nevermind shara's locks can only be used "when attacking". Drat, I was hoping R7 got better.

The other thing is that R7 forces you to spend the lock in order to get the rerolls. M9 does not, meaning you can maintain the lock for multiple rounds. Honestly with the exception of Tarn Mison M9 is just way better than R7.

I'm going to try proxying this until HotR and wave X hits:

Norra Wexley

PtL, Tail Gunner, title, vectored thrusters, r2-d2

Shara Bey

A Score to Settle, Weapons Engineer, M9-G8, title

Biggs

R4-D6, IA

100 points even

The idea is that keeping Shara to a 0 point EPT allows Norra to go full "ARC angel", plus A Score to Settle gives me two ships that are really dangerous out of the rear arc.

Yay ARC angel is catching on

Also, cool as m9g8 is, I think he'll either be better off on th and to reposition locks midcombat or not as good as stress

Tact r3a2 Shara hits 32 points, which is enough for snap shot shenanigans
