So after some theory crafting and testing, I've settled on a solid upsilon build:

Star-Killer Base Pilot (40)

-Fire Control System

-Gunner

-Operations Specialist

It has a reliably accurate 4 dice attack and can always use it's action to coordinate without any real offensive loss. This upgrade selection probably works on any upsilon, but for the points I am picking the generic. The question I have is what are the best wingmen from here? 60 points is a large amount of space to play around with. One of my ideas is to try something with snapshot to pull more value from the ops spec. Another thought was quickdraw for the same reason. Anyone see anything that I haven't yet?

Thanks

My buddy and I flew this list yesterday at the AK regionals:

Upsilon-class Shuttle: · Major Stridan (32)
Collision Detector (0)
Systems officer (2)
· General Hux (5)
TIE Phantom: · "Echo" (30)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Fire Control System (2)
Advanced Cloaking Device (4)
Intelligence Agent (1)
TIE Striker: · "Duchess" (23)
Adaptability (Increase) (0)
Adaptive ailerons (0)
-- TOTAL ------- 100/100p. --

My buddy's variant was no system officer, and replace intelligence agent with agent kallus.

Right to the point my buddy got 8th and I got 16th out of 17 (I couldn't fly for crap that day (flew echo on a rock!!!) and my opponents did awesome, not playing for a month and using a new list will do that lol). Stridan in this build offers pure synergy and still has teeth for that first volley or two, then runs into the "can't turn around issue". But coordinate/hux/system officer still provide support after he flies by. The list as a whole has teeth and is a lot of fun to fly.

On a side note, this list is NOT forgiving of mistakes.

I have been toying with a similar list, but with Dormitz (for some setup shenanigans). A very naked Dormitz at that, just Fire Control System and Hyperwave Comm Scanner.

I'm interested at the possibility of Stridan, though. That Stridan/Hux/SysOfficer is indeed quite nice.
