Hello,

Figured I would ask people smarter then me what about some of my thoughts regarding a B-wing squad and ship support.

I haven't seen many builds with Independence title. So I figured that I would try one out. The thought is that to use the title ability to give flexibility to re-position the B-wings, if needed. I keep flip flopping between these ships and a Nebs with Salvation or Yarvis. I haven't had much luck with the a scout or Nebs. Well Comments welcome!

It just seems like you have a lot of squadron support, but not a whole lot of squadrons. Every turn you have the capacity of activating 8 squadrons, (not counting the MC30). 2 B-wing and an x-wing are not that scary of a bomber wing. Maybe bring in a unique ace or a couple? Norra is pretty fantastic with other bombers. Ten Numb is a great Anti squadron and still a B wing. You could probably at least drop the weapons liaison, and I would even drop Independence since you are already using AFFM. Fighter Coordination Team is also cheaper, and they can till attack that turn. (I suppose that's why not many people use the title!)

Or if you want to keep Independence, get more B-wings to make it worth while.

Also, Overload pulse is hard to make useful, and you have to actually get the blue crit. May be worth doing intel officer instead, to just be done with a defense token instead of messing with spending it?

That's all I got, but I'm not all that experienced myself!

I agree. I used to use Independence but when FCTs came out in wave 4 I could do without it and that is without AFFM even.

Drop the mc30 for a TRC90 and buy another X and B-Wing with the points. Independence can go for Defiance and FCTs. Weapons liaison could go for flight commander.

OL pulse is ok but I might drop it for HC Ion Turrets or to upgrade some fighters to aces like Biggs/Wedge.

Thanks for the reply's I will rework and try out the suggestions.

Cheers
