By XWinters86XX, in X-Wing Squad Lists

First time building a list as I need to get ready for an upcoming tournament. Let me know what you guys think.

B-Wing

an Farlander (40)
B-Wing/E2 (1)
Push the Limit (3)
Enhanced Scopes (1)
Ion Cannon (3)
•Lando Calrissian (3)

Z-95 Headhunter: Tala Squadron Pilot (18)
Munitions Failsafe (1)
Concussion Missiles (4)

A-Wing: Green Squadron Pilot (27)
Shield Upgrade (4)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)
Outmaneuver (3)
Push the Limit (3)
Chardaan Refit (-2)

Z-95 Headhunter: Bandit Squadron Pilot (15)
Ion Pulse Missiles (3)

Total: 100/100

As a general rule, fly something you are comfortable and proficient with. Emphasis on general. Having a good list really helps. One thing all good lists have in common is efficient use of points. There is a ton of waste in your list.

Keyan Farlander is a personal favorite of mine, but overloading him with upgrades is basically giving away margin of victory. He will die fast, so keep him as light as possible. Something like this:

Keyan Farlander (32) - B-Wing
Rage (1), Collision Detector (0), B-Wing/E2 (1), Inspiring Recruit (1)

Keyan Farlander (33) - B-Wing
Opportunist (4), Collision Detector (0)

There isn't much reason to spend points on Tala Squadron instead of Bandit. Use Guidance Chips instead of Munitions Failsafe if you can, or just drop the missiles.

Your A-wing won't benefit much from that shield upgrade. Autothrusers are better for less, or don't take a mod at all.

Fair warning: flying ships with 2-die Primary Weapons is more painful for you than it is for your opponent. On top of weak offense, every one of your ships is fragile. You're in for a rough ride.

If I were you, I would lose the Z-95's and the Shield Upgrade to fly a ship that can hit harder and take some punishment. If you do this, it also changes your opponents' target priorities (taking some heat off Farlander.) For those 37 points you have a lot of better options: Poe, Miranda and Norra all come immediately to mind.

Good luck. Welcome to the game.
