Just throwing around ideas in my head and wanted to get some input from other players

With some changes and a lot of practice you should be able to win a game or two.

You overbuilt Miranda. She will be the obvious target in this list, and will probably not survive six rounds of combat to drop all that ordnance. Get rid of the Proximity Mine and make your Y-wing a Stress Hog.

Engine Upgrade on Miranda is laughably bad. She has SLAM, and any round you drop a mine is a round you will not be using The Engine Upgrade a K-wing doesn't need.

Agree with jms, drop the engine upgrade, it prevents the actions you need to do. Change it to the slam, that saves 2 points.

If you drop one of the mines, most likely proximity, you can add one of the maneuver bombs and save more points. They are great, because you can drop a bomb, move, and drop an action bomb or slam and then drop an action bomb.

If you save enough points to make the stresshog, then you can also add BMST to Ashoka. Those stress tokens can turn into free damage from Ashoka.

I'm not sure I'm reading this sentence as you intended, but if you're suggesting that a K-Wing can drop more than one bomb in a turn, that is incorrect.

"Regardless of whether you have both types of bombs on a ship, or multiple actions, each ship can deploy only one bomb per round."

@Incard Good catch on the bomb rules.

The main point still stands. Advanced SLAM is better than Engine Upgrade on a K-wing.

Absolutely, I can't imagine ever putting Engine Upgrade on a K-Wing.

I was, based on having it happen to me. Clearly, that was incorrect. I was reading the rules of the individual bombs and not the overall rule of only once per round.

Thanks for the clarification.
