So i played 4 games last night against an equally new player and I played the Donut in 3 of them. By far this was my favorite incarnation. I love the speed and agility of both models and raging Jake with a 5 dice proton rockets dropped a key target to 2 or less HP each game. Dash's mobility is absolutely ridiculous and i've duplicated the 3 action/turn on Jake.

Problems:
playing 5 pts down.
after i shoot the protons, Jake is dead in the water with 2 stressed tokens and no agility.

Dash has to carry the majority of the load and with only the cluster missles in the case of an emergency, having some more flexibility/consistency in the second/third ship could be good.

I've seen survival Poe being paired but prefer the maneuverability

Any suggestions for a Dash tweak or a Jake replacement?? any rebel ship available
