REY AND JAN

100 points

PILOTS

Jan Ors (38)
HWK-290 (25), Expertise (4), Twin Laser Turret (6), Recon Specialist (3)

Rey (62)
YT-1300 (45), Expertise (4), Kanan Jarrus (3), Finn (5), Millennium Falcon (Segnor's Loop Version) (1), Engine Upgrade (4)

Expertise requires Jan to be stress free.... Jan will get stressed before she fires by handing over the extra die to Rey. Suggest new EPT?

I suggest Predator, nein numb and Vectored Thrusters on Jan, it worked well for me.

My Rey-Jan list (1-1) is:

Rey + Jan (99)

Rey — YT-1300 45

Expertise 4

Finn 5

Kanan Jarrus 3

Black Market Slicer Tools 1

Smuggling Compartment 0

Millennium Falcon (TFA) 1

Ship Total: 59

Jan Ors — HWK-290 25

Wired 1

Twin Laser Turret 6

Chewbacca 4

Shield Upgrade 4

Ship Total: 40

Jan is fairly sturdy with wired and Chewbacca. Rey is a fairly standard build. I like BMST with her, but Inertial Dampeners and Burnout SLAM both have their place in this list.

Nope, Jan & rey are the same PS, so they can fire in the correct order (as long as you remember to do it the right way round)

Honestly, you really want Jan to fire first anyway. Assuming they're both shooting at the same target you'll want the tlt to strip defensive tokens so that rey can hit as hard as possible.

That said though I really don't like expertise on Jan here:

For one: as previously mentioned it locks you into a particular firing order, which might be correct most of the time, but is still not something you want to be locked into.

Secondly: it really doesn't fly very well with recon specialist marginalises the value of both upgrades when taken together.

Thirdly: itsucks up a lot of points.

I think the recommendation to switch expertise out for predator was right on the money here.
