I think may like the ability of Countdown the best It seems good to soak up big attacks or mitigate crits. The one catch is its once per round limitation. The I thought to pair it with Yorr and possibly get 2-3 uses per round. Sure, this reduces its effectiveness if it only lasts for 1-2 shooting rounds, but better him than another ship getting shot at. I was looking for another ace-type heavy hitter to add and with the cheapness of Countdown, Whisper seemed a good choice. I ended up coming up with what is essential a revamp to the "Mynock Special." I hope no trademarks were infringed upon. I took their classic list and update some crew and upgrades with newer things:

"Countdown" (20)
Hull Upgrade (3)
Adaptive Ailerons (0)

Captain Yorr (24)
Fire-Control System (2)
Inspiring Recruit (1)
Rebel Captive (3)
Engine Upgrade (4)

"Whisper" (32)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire-Control System (2)
Hotshot Co-pilot (4)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)

Total: 100

With Yorr needing to be near the fray I figured an EU will help him keep up with the Striker and give him some offensive mods to make better use of that 3 die gun. Also the IR gives him the ability to keep pulling stress from countdown, or even a K-Turning Whisper. With Yorr's big gun I though made switch up some crew and let Whisper be the token-stripper for the two remaining 3 dice guns.

Help/advice would be cool.

Eu, inspiring and captive?

You mean "palpatine", surely

Because palp would be a vastly superior option and is crucial for keeping whisper alive

That is definitely one way to do it. And would def keep Whisper alive longer. But the recruit and captive will keep Yorr alive longer and in turn keep countdown alive longer which will in turn keep whisper alive longer as there are more things to shoot at. Unless they just go whole HAM on whisper and I am left with Yorr/Countdown which admittedly doesn't have as much teeth as say Yorr/Whisper.

I highly doubt anyone is going to waste time shooting countdown or Yorr when whisper's available

Yorr with palpatine presents a much stronger target for them to shoot, which will take the heat off of whisper or protect her

I highly HIGHLY doubt countdown will ever draw fire, which is kind of his whole schtik. He's like Tarn Mison, the guy no one wants to shoot because it's just not worth it

I considered a similar list with duchess.....
