So I really like the idea of Corran and Braylen, where I double stress a ship and then double tap them the next round. Unfortunately with a loaded Corran there isn't much left for anything other than a blocker, or I drop Corran down and he isn't as hard to hit. So I am trying Poe instead of Corran. He doesn't hit as hard, but he is consistent and tanks with Autothrusters and his ability. I just played this list yesterday with a lot of success, but I have some questions.
T-70 X-Wing: •Poe Dameron (HotR) (43)
Autothrusters (2)
Push The Limit (3)
•R5-P9 (3)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
ARC-170: •Braylen Stram (32)
Alliance Overhaul (0)
Gunner (5)
•R3-A2 (2)
Y-Wing: Gold Squadron Pilot (25)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
•R4-D6 (1)
Total: 100/100
1) R2-D2 or R5-P9? With PTL Poe won't always have stress (PA with a green, or not always needing 2 actions). R2-D2 is guaranteed, but more predictable.
2)R4-D6 or R2 for the Y-wing?
3) Autothrusters or Vectored Thrusters? Survivability vs maneuverability?
4) Different Poe?
a) I could drop down to PS8 Poe with the same load, increasing the Y to a Gray with R4-D6 and Trick shot.
b) Use Classic VI Poe, then what to do with the extra 4 points?
