I have a idea for a couple of tanky ships. The idea is that both ships can cancel at least 1 damage and regen 1 shield a turn. The Y is simply for extra damage plus it's the easiest to kill so should keep heat off of the other two at the start. Opinions?

Norra: PTL, R2D2, tailgunner, title

Miranda: TLT, C3PO

Y-wing TLT

I thought about possibly dropping the Y for Zeb in a shuttle with either a TLT or ion turret with Herald crew.

While not what you are looking for, I played against a Norra/Dash build that was super challenging. He had basic super-Dash with a PTL/BB8/EU/Kyle Norra, practically turning her into a 4 action Dash-like ship.

I would prefer to stick with my basic regen Norra build. She took out a caster and a party bus almost single handedly in the first game I tried with her.

One change I'd suggest is to drop the Y-wing for Biggs:

35 Miranda w/ TLT, Chopper, LRS.

38 Norra w/ PtL, R2D2, TailG, Title.

26 Biggs w/ R4D6, IA.

1 Initiative.

I've played this one and Biggs makes those regen ships so much more annoying as you can't burn them down in the early game, and instead have to fight them when you've potentially lost a few ships. The loss of C3P0 hurts, but Miranda is still annoying enough without him.

Why is it that people are flying with Chopper on Miranda??

Zero point crew upgrade. Also if you lose a shield from the damage on Miranda it is not a big deal as she can regen it later. Not that TLT Miranda is particularly prone to stress but it is nice to have the option if you run up against Flechettes or R3-A2.

OP; i did that same list with the boost TL droid instead of R2D2 and the stress Droid on the Y. Seemed to work well. But it ended with the usual in any Miranda list. Miranda alive at the end carrying the team. Not sure if the list is good or if it won because of Miranda.

See, that's something I've been considering doing! Do you remember Dash's exact build? Also, how would Norra get four actions rather than three?

EDIT: Oh, Kyle's ability. Derp.

EDIT 2:

Norra Wexley (41)

ARC-170 (29), BB-8 (2), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

Dash Rendar (58)

YT-2400 Freighter (36), Push the Limit (3), Heavy Laser Cannon (7), Lando Calrissian (3), Outrider (5), Engine Upgrade (4)

I like it. I like it a lot.

I went for a slightly different approach on my Norra/Miranda... Norranda? Build:

Norra w/ ptl, overhaul, vectored thrusters, r2d2, tailgunner (40)

Miranda w/ tlt, Conner net, extra munitions, Sabine, adv slam (45)

A-wing (prototype pilot) w/ chardaan refit (15)

Managed to get a preliminary test game in with it tonight, and it did good. Not having Biggs wasn't as scary as I thought it would be. Admittedly the opponent wasn't a full-on meta list, but the squad felt fairly solid.

I was about to ask why you put Sabine on Miranda, but then I realized her ability - and that you get another bomb slot.

Miranda Doni (56)
K-Wing (29), Twin Laser Turret (6), Extra Munitions (2), Proton Torpedoes (4), Concussion Missiles (4), Sabine Wren (2), Thermal Detonators (3), Thermal Detonators (3), Guidance Chips (0), Thermal Detonators (3)

Norra Wexley (43)
ARC-170 (29), BB-8 (2), Seismic Torpedo (2), Push the Limit (3), Kyle Katarn (3), Alliance Overhaul (0), Engine Upgrade (4)

I don't think you understand just how badly I was tempted to put Vectored Thrusters on Miranda, just for ***** & giggles.

Sabine is the bit I'm not currently 100% sure of. (on my list)

An alternate version I'm toying with building would lose Sabine & the advanced slam, switch the Conner net for a different bomb (I think thermal detonators).

I could then fit c3p0 on Miranda, and have 2 points left over for something else.

Sabine isn't bad, but does feel like a bit of an over-indulgence considering what she adds to the list.

A friend flew a list similar to mine tonight in our league against a scum list and won. He had Shara instead of Norra and Biggs. The scum list was a little unusual and very aggressive. I don't remember all the upgrades but it was Fenn, Talonbane, and N'dry with various munitions. Fenn didn't have PTL which seemed to hurt the scum list big time. People are right though that it came down to Miranda at the end with Fenn unable to do lasting damage to her.

I am going to try Norra/Miranda/Biggs on Monday and will update with how it does.

the benefit you get from KK one a 1 agility ship is really minimal and imo nowhere near worth the investment

if you're flying norra without biggs (like a crazy person), imo you'd want nien nub. ARCs being at 1 agility is bad enough, but 1 agility and moving at speed 1-2 is just rolling out the buffet cart for your opponent
