I am thinking of getting an E-wing painted, but I don't want to use it unless its competitive. I normally use Scum but the E-wing looks so good on paper that I just have to try it. (That and I just like the ship!)

So far my test squad is

Corrin Horn (E-wing)

Rage, FCS, something else

Warden Squadron Pilot (K-wing)

Sabine Wren, Seismic Chg, Cluster mine, ADV Slam, Ion bomb

Jake Farrell (A-wing)

Autothrusters, Chardaan Refit.

I am willing to change most things on the list, but my goal is to basically play offense every couple turns with K while causing hopefully a ton of damage with Sabine Bombs and A wing to...well dodge I guess. Any thoughts? I would even change out the A-wing.

Instead of the A Wing you could put in Lt. Blount with GC, Wingman, and Ion Pulse Missiles. He's got one nice punch, and can follow Corran around keeping stress off.

Honestly rage is holding Corran down. You get a focus token and rerolls on a ship that gets it naturally on FCS and a focus for 2 stress tokens. If you have veteran instincts, take that. Corran like to move last. Or another ept. Rage is great on a lot of stuff, but not on Corran ? oh. And get R2D2 if you can. Honestly with 3 Shields he is begging for that droid.

And if you can swap your ion/seismic to a conner net you will thank you self. It is dreadfully easy for your opponent to dodge maneuver bombs and dreadfully hard to avoid action bombs.

What you need is a threat to make targeting hard for your enemy. Right now they either take out the bomber or your Corran. Maybe a ptl jake without thrusters and either trickshot or adaptability? He would be a 'easy target' that could take the heat off your strong pieces, and if they don't you can punish with a fun piece to play.

Thats what I was thinking. What else can pack a punch and not die in one turn, yet still cost about 26 pts? Maybe a B-wing? your other advise is duly noted btw ;-)

Well if you go to 26 points you can either have biggs with damage reduction droid, or a stressbot TLT y-wing with title. Or a torpedo boat y wing... or even captain rex and a z-95.

I'd say the stresshog is the most solid choice. Good control, decent damage if you don't need the control, and great in the present meta to keep defenders and mindlink honest.

Something like this perhaps?

Corran Horn (35)
Adaptability (0)
Fire-Control System (2)
R2-D2 (4)

Warden Squadron Pilot (23)
Extra Munitions (2)
Sabine Wren (2)
Conner Net (4)
Ion Bombs (2)

Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)

Total: 100

If you're looking at Corran and a K-wing as the basis then Corran & Miranda are proven to work (worlds finalist last year). You would be looking at:

Corran Horn w/ PTL, R2-D2, FCS and Engine Upgrade (48 pts)

Miranda Doni w/ TLT, Sabine Wren, Homing Missiles, Ion Bomb, Connor Net, Extra Muntions and Advanced Slam (52 pts)

Tricky to pick up but can work really well.

But either standard Corran (the 48pt above or the 42pt with VI and no EU are solid so you shouldn't have any worries about it being worth giving him a paint job

I've been thinking about a Corran build to go alongside my Expertise Rey.

• Rey - Expertise, Finn, Kanan, new Title
• Corran - Crack Shot/VI (though having two 8's is nice), R2-D2, FCS

Alternatively, I was thinking something like this:

• Corran - VI, R2-D2, FCS, Engine Upgrade
• Ahsoka - VI, Sabine's Masterpiece, Captured TIE, Rey
• Heff Tobber - FCS, Seismic Torpedo (or flechettes), Jyn, Jan, Pivot Wing

I thought of that but are these two ships really better than having a third ya think?

It depends how durable ship No. 3 is. I'm always reluctant to add a third ship, even a blocker, that is likely to get shot down quickly and leave me behind on pts (that's the beauty of VI Ahsoka vs anything but aces). The joy of this is that they are both durable and may even be better than my preferred Han and Jake list as they get nothing for half points.

Everyone is different though and a lot of people love having a blocker. I've sometimes been tempted to run Poe and Corran with a 10+ point bid just because i'm not sure I want a blocker in there to get shot down early, but i'm weird like that

I did some test flying with the Corran/Tie/U-Wing list I shared above. The ships fly well together. Corran can keep up with Ashoka, and the action economy is great. Jan is there to help Corran when he barrels ahead to take Range 1 shots. He can evade, and Ashoka gives him a free action, which can be a focus-evade.

Alternatively, you can use his free action to boost or barrel roll at the start of combat. Rey keeps plenty of focuses on Ashoka, and Jyn dishes her more so she's never spending more than she has saved up.

Corran is the clear threat on the board, but the U-Wing has three attack dice as well, so it can't be ignored. I'll have to fit this list into the rotation.

Man, I thought this was going to have actual E-Wing squad ideas on it. I was going to be refreshed and amazed.

Corran and Miranda are Hellish to kill as they regen. unless you get focused quickly by aces they can both be a potent late game ship.

Miranda i difficult to kill without alpha striking her as she can run away and Regen with TLT, Corran can double tap (with FCS for the second shot normally) and again, running away and regenning when he is weapons disabled.

I was running a Miranda list with another K wing and Ahsoka but then everyone started using her so i've switched to

Corran: Expertise, FCS, EU, R2D2 coupled with VI Ahsoka, Rey and normal ties stuff with a Raging Tycho.

It's fun to fly but quite unforgiving with 12 health total behind 9 green dice (and only one with Autothrusters!!) and unexpected. No need to worry about offensive mods with Corran and he can boost/barrel roll as his action then Ahsoka can give him the other one (or an evade/focus if needed)

I also enjoy runing an Etahn in a list with a couple of A Wings (known as my Lucky 7's list which is great fun!)

Etahn A’baht - When an enemy ship inside your firing arc at Range 1-3 is defending, the attacker may change 1 of its results to a result.

R2-D2, Veteran Instincts, Fire-Control System, Engine Upgrade

Yes Corran Miranda is grand, it's Meta; auto win stuff. How about we branch out from the fog and play for a minute? How about this X3??

i know it is cliche, but R2-D2 is really good on the E-wing.

i like to run r2d2, FCS and PTL

I would certainly like to see what else you can do with an E. So for one, you could have three of these. Maybe two with a mini Z swarm too? Any other ideas?

This one looks unconventional but beast! the focus is probably on the B-wing, but Biggs can keep everyone alive. I would probably switch Ion with Tractor beam cuz of the nice effect it does to dodgers.

But Ten can give unblockable ion cannon attacks
