Hi,
Need some ideas for a casual tournament, with following limitations:
1. The list must contain 1 Named Pilot and may not have other named pilots
2. The list must contain at least 4 ships
3. Unique crew is not allowed
4. Large ships are not allowed
5. Max 2 of the same upgrade
I am messing around with Jonus + TIE Bombers (with Assault missiles).
But please give me your best ideas!
Limitation? Wow, that's quite restrictive! Not saying it's bad, could be fun, but I couldn't float that format locally.
I don't have a TIE Bomber list handy, but I've got classic T-65s already in a list like that. Minor change up to eliminate more than 2 Integrated Astromech upgrades and away you go. Actually... Subtract a Red and you can get a familiar, stressful, friend...
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)
Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Fire-Control System (2)
Gold Squadron Pilot (18)
Twin Laser Turret (6)
R3-A2 (2)
BTL-A4 Y-Wing (0)
Jess Pava (25)
R2-D6 (1)
Adaptability (0)
Integrated Astromech (0)
Total: 100
Wurms' list seems extremely strong. With there being 1 unique pilot per list, the stresshog knows it's target and the rest of the list is strong jousting.
If that list is too cutthroat, try 4 PS 1 Strikers with light weight frame and Adaptive Ailerons and Duchess with VI, and AA. 5 ships with 3 attack dice and tons of maneuvering options.

Missed the bit where no more than two of the same upgrade can be used. Still sounds like a fun list.
Suggestion for bomberlists:
Omega Leader: Juke, Comm, SD (29)
Defender (Delta): Tie x7 (28)
Bomber (Scimitar); Plasma, EM, LRS (21)
Bomber (Scimitar); Plasma, EM, LRS (21)
OR THIS
Omega Leader: Juke, Comm, SD (29)
Prototype (Baron): Adaptability, Tie v1, Tracers (21)
Bomber (Gamma Vet); Deadeye,Plasma, EM, Chips (25)
Bomber (Gamma Vet); Deadeye,Plasma, EM, Chips (25)

I really like these; was considering a list with a couple of TIE Bombers with assault missiles - to handle the possible TIE Fighter swarms.

If your local meta is a lot of swarms, then go for assault missiles on one bomber, but if you look at the meta in most store tournaments, regionals and nationals large ships with lots of shields is more used than swarms. I my opinion Plasma is the best 4 dice attack plus one shield for only 3 points - its a bargain. Alternatively I would use Homing missiles because its 4 dice, you do not spend your TL and the target can not spend evades. This seems even better, but at 2 points more each and a lot of the time you opponent just cant use evades of will do another action. With your limitations swarms might be more likely, so a good idea with a assault missile. Something like this:
Omega Leader: Juke, Comm (26)
Defender (Delta): Tie x7 (28)
Bomber (Scimitar); Plasma, EM, LRS (21)
Bomber (Scimitar); Assault, EM, LRS (23)
and a two point initiative bid for getting the bombers to move after most rebel generic ships, so they can barrelroll til get shots or right range i necessary or to get Omega Leader to move after other PS 8 ships or before bombing Miranda
I'm sure that there will be some TIE Fighter swarms, and maybe some A-wings + Biggs.
But I really like your list!

How about this?
Omega Leader: Juke, Comm (26)
Countdown: Adapt, LWF (22)
Bomber (Gamma Vet); Deadeye, Proton, EM, Chips (26)
Bomber (Gamma Vet); Deadeye, Proton, EM, Chips (26)
Countdown can run interference, and the protons do 4 damage as long as you roll average. Only downside to this change is you lose the stealth device on OL.

Countdown is a named pilot. Can't have two.
You could just do the ps1 striker for 19pts, then have stealth back on OL
Could just do Paul Heaver's list.
PtL Poe w/ R2-D2, 2 TLT Y-Wings, one with title and stressbot, and a Z-95 for blocking.
Luke skywalker with r3a2, integrated Astromech and adaptability
2x Prototype pilots with chardaan refit
3x tala Squadron z-95 headhunters.
99 pts
I used to run this a lot back in the day before adaptability. It works great. Ps1 a wings with hard 1 turns make fantastic blockers, Luke stresses any opposing high ps priority target abd the talas do serious work at ps 4, shooting before most other swarm ships.
I perfer a Imperial list - and I really don't like Poe
But Droids has been ruled unique crew, and therefor not allowed.
