Hi,

Long time browser of this forum, first time poster. Looking for some help/suggestions on a list I've been looking at for regionals. I've had some success during testing but never hurts to get a second opinion.

Other thought would be to switch out Norra for Thane w/ Sabine, R2-D2, Connor Nets and Extra Munitions, and then give Miranda BoShek/Jan Oars/C-3P0 instead. Trades in some fire power for more bombs and possible 1pt bid (without 3P0). Thoughts?

I like the first list but prefer Tail Gunner to KK. Free hits on Agility 2 Defenders start to look very good. KK is probably best used if you have points for VTs to make use of the extra action from PTL. With agility 1, the chance of Norra being able to use an extra Focus on defense is not that high.

I appreciate the feed back, understood that KK is best with Vector thrusters but one of the main reasons I'm choosing KK is the counter any Parattanni list I run into, specifically Asajj. With KK I can avoid using PTL until Asajj is gone and still have a focus and TL each turn they decide to stress Norra. Not sure if Tail Gunner would still be better with this in mind though...

If suffering external stress on Norra is a concern then one possibility is to put an Inspiring Recruit on Rex allowing you to ditch 2 stress on a Green if you need to. Trouble is you would need to drop Miranda's seismic charges to fit it in. Not sure if that is a sacrifice you wish to make.

Not sure if I would be keen to sacrifice the seismic charges, especially to give Rex the crew. So far in all the games I've had so far Rex is always targeted and destroyed first. Which isn't a bad thing as it gives Norra and Miranda the chance to pump in some damage.

Thanks for the suggestions though.

I've had a lot of success with the Ezra crew member on Norra. Just a thought.

That's an idea, since Ezra thrives from stress. I've still got a week to test so I'll give this a go. Thanks!

Pull the Target Lock to get an automatic crit, or use the rear arc to get an automatic crit. May help you save a focus for defense. Match made in heaven! Also see the appeal of KK in your build as well.

This is true, in a similar fashion I suppose Rey would work too. Bank some focus early game and spend later allowing me to TL for standard action. Can even free up the Elite Talent for VI or something this way.

Hmmmmm...
