Is a PS 11 Poe Dameron just too much?

By Laziob, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I have been working on a 3 ship list, that includes Poe and Tycho, and the third ship varies (I have some with an GSP, some with a B-wing, and so on). But in this one in particulary, I felt short on points for Poe, and upgraded him with a VI, leaving the list like this.

XAB

100 points

PILOTS

Tycho Celchu (33)
A-Wing (26), A-Wing Test Pilot (0), Chardaan Refit (-2), Daredevil (3), Experimental Interface (3), Push the Limit (3)

Poe Dameron (PS9 Version) (37)
T-70 X-Wing (33), R5-P9 (3), Veteran Instincts (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Blue Squadron Pilot (30)
B-Wing (22), Fire-Control System (2), Ion Cannon (3), B-Wing/E2 (1), Tactician (2)


My question is: Is it even worth it to have a Poe, or any pilot, with a PS of 11??

Thanks!

It is pretty pointless

anything you can out PS probably doesn't care about Poe with his wimpy, barely modified attack

literally the only thing you have to worry about at ps 10 is vi vader which doesn't exist anymore

at least until kylo ren anyway

Yeah that what I thought, but what would you replace it with, given that I cant/wont change the rest?

If you drop down to PS 8 Poe and keep VI you have 2pts freed up for a PS10 Poe with autothrusters.

Predator, Lone Wolf or PtL. If PtL then add Pattern Analyzer. Definitely give Poe Autothrusters no matter what EPT you choose.

Lose the B-wing, you're basically giving away 30 points MoV. There are tons of better options for 30 points, and some of them can still give you an Ion option.

Hm Thats a good option, I would have to proxy that Poe though but it seems good.

I know that the B-wing is not the best option, I have built osme lists with other options, for example a T-65 X wing, or one with a Green Squadron Pilot. But I have this spare B-wing, and would like to fly it some times, at least to see what its like haha

If you're going to fly the Blue Squadron B-wing, then take off the Ion Canon and Crew. Use those points to make Poe and Tycho better.

You mean something like this:

Poe Dameron (PS8 Version) (42)

Ill tell the VI vader I lost to on Sunday that he doesnt exist.

The same logic applies, you are rarely going to see anything above PS10, especially not something that is threatening to Vader.

Poe at PS11 isn't going to threaten Vader, who's the only other ace that you would ever really see that high. I think it's a PS level that Vader needs to occupy alone. That's as the Star Wars universe should be.

7 points more expensive but kicks ass - Poe, PtL, Autothrusters, Pattern Analyzer, R2D2 - Black One if you can squeeze it. If you fly him properly he is a beast.
