So Yorr and Countdown are a pretty good pair. Yorr can take Countdown's stress every time he has to use his ability to avoid taking more than one damage. Yorr (or anybody near him) can then remove two stress instead of one with Inspiring Recruit when doing a green. Vader is just nice to push damage through and punish shieldless targets. And Collision Detector because why not, it's free to avoid obstacle crit rolls. That puts the point total at 51, just over half a list.

The rest of the list I figure needs a good closer and I like the Phantom as an option as it allows a fourth ship (TIE Fighter) as a blocker and extra gun.

How do you guys like it? Any tweaks or different wingmen that might work better for Yorr and Countdown?

If you are going with the Yorr countdown combo, it might be good to sensor jammer your shuttle, because it will probably be the target instead of countdown
