I would appreciate any thoughts. The goal is to be mildly durable while being increasingly annoying. The meta in my area is one large base with a support attack small base. Think Rey Poe combo.

Scum ppo (100)

Syndicate Thug (24) - Y-Wing
Ion Cannon Turret (5), Unhinged Astromech (1)

Syndicate Thug (24) - Y-Wing
Ion Cannon Turret (5), Unhinged Astromech (1)

Syndicate Thug (24) - Y-Wing
Ion Cannon Turret (5), Unhinged Astromech (1)

Palob Godalhi (28) - HWK-290
Autoblaster Turret (2), Dengar (3), Moldy Crow (3)

i did base base it on thug life but I am not a big fan of TLT y's. I prefer movement control.

Seems pretty decent, however having only a damage output of one from ion turret means that larger ships like the VCX-100 and decimator are going to chew you up and spit you out. The obvious way to avoid this is to use the BTL Y-Wing title and attack twice however it means you have to fly more effectively but with unhinged you can take that green three turn.

if you have the skill and don't rely on the turret 360 too much then take the title and effectively deal an extra 9 damage. As for autoblaster on the HWK. That's not a great choice. It means that te HWK will only ever be effective at range one as its one die attacknis next to worthless. :(

id try something more like this:

Dace Bonearm — HWK-290 23
EMP Device 2
Moldy Crow 3
Ship Total: 28
Syndicate Thug — Y-Wing 18
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Unhinged Astromech 1
BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0
Ship Total: 24
Syndicate Thug — Y-Wing 18
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Unhinged Astromech 1
BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0
Ship Total: 24
Syndicate Thug — Y-Wing 18
Ion Cannon Turret 5
Unhinged Astromech 1
BTL-A4 Y-Wing 0
Ship Total: 24

Dace is a better choice thanks to his ability to turn ion into damage, I scrapped the idea of him being able to do damage and made him a support vessel that helps account for the Y-Wings lack of maneuverability by adding even more ion. And te damage you lose from the HWK (two dice max anyway) is made up for by the BTL title. Swap the EMP for cloaking if you want that way your less likely to have the HWK targeted and it can still use Daces ability for damage.

Hope this helps, best of luck ;)
