What do you think of this? Is it good action economy or is it too weak to matter?

So after staring at this list for a while, I decided it needed a touch more defense so I swapped out recently spec and put in Jan. That let's me upgrade the ion bombs to proxy mines. Here's what it looks like now. Thoughts?

I have a couple questions, but dont have answers for them myself at this point:

Are you planning on using Heff to block, if so, would "Zeb" be an alternative to Cassian, so Heff can get a range 1 shot into the target (it would play out like this: Heff moves to blocking position, uses Jyn to pass focus [or pass it to himself], enemy bumps, Heff rolls APL, and takes a TL, then in Combat phase, Heff triggers Zeb for 4 die w/ TL [and potentially a focus] attack).

With BMST on Ahsoka, how are you planning on stressing enemy ships to use the ability, or was that taken instead of EMP just for points (since Ahsoka would probably be using her action for Focus to pass a free action to an ally in combat)?

Zeb is a good idea that I hadn't thought of, thanks. The Warden's thermal detonaters are the stress source.

All my x wing friends have been busy so I haven't been able to play this yet. The big question I have is if a bomber even needs a blocker. If Heff can't be a benefit to the Warden this whole list is pointless regardless of action efficiency.

Anybody have bomber with blocker experience?
