This list is kind of meant to mimic the infamous triple imperial aces, due to the sheer difficulty in pinning any of its ships down. Intensity Jake looks like an absolute nightmare - he's got Soontir levels of action efficiency (boost, barrel roll, double focus for example), and as long as he doesn't use both of his tokens he can do it over and over again. PTL-BB8-PA Poe is an old favorite of mine and is really unpredictable for an X-wing. Hera is the iffy one for me; she's good, but if you have a suggested replacement, feel free. Any thoughts?

I think this is sad, but Hera is actually the only rebel pilot with high enough PS that has any sort of maneuverability, and also fits into your point limit. I like "Snap" Wexley, with VI, R3-A2, Title, Primed Thrusters, Vectored Thrusters. The idea is that he can be an equivalent to the Inquisitor in imperial lists (Jouster-Ace). However, this build is just too expensive, and neither Poe's nor Jake's loadouts have any wiggle room. Hera is probably your best bet...

That Jake is perfect, and Heragator is mad! I think intensity should go on Poe instead of PTL, it keeps him safe to pull whites if need be, still getting a boost/focus or focus, and with primed thrusters instead of pattern analyzer, if he got stressed from debris or an enemy stressing you, he could reveal green, still do the barrel roll, still get the focus, clear the stress, and then do another action.

For 32 points, you can go Crazy Tycho. Refit, Test Pilot, Push the Limit, Experimental Interface, and Expert Handling. Not "dodgy" per se, but definitely maneuverable.
