The following fleets is not hyper competitve, but might be nice fun to play. The basic tactic is to power up the E-Wings to speed 5 and snipe 4 + Torryn rerolls. Take out the enemy intel ships and bring in Shara&Tycho to pin down the enemy squads. Now, the enemy squads might attack the A-Wing aces, but suffer from their counter. The E-Wings can snipe away whatever remains of the enemy squads in the following rounds.

Ship to ship fighting power is a bit of the Achilles heel here.

I'm not speaking from much experience (so take this with more than a grain of salt!), but I do think you've ID'd your biggest weakness: ship-heavy lists. A modest Ace/Heavy hitter squad build (or even just a cheap fighter spam) could tie up your squadrons (I am thinking 4-5 squads) while either flankers swipe at you from the side/behind ... or you get ROFL stomped by 2 Motti'd ISDs (just kidding!).

That being said, it does look like a lot of fun to try out that SNIPE ability against heavy squadron lists that seem to be pretty popular right now. It looks fun!

Home One is a nice heavy hitting carrier.

I would consider dropping Tycho for Norra. I know you want the Squad alpha strike, but Norra makes the red bomber dice more threatening to ships. That shores up if you run against very lean squad screens.

With speed 4(AFFM), 6HP, Double Brace, and BBB anti squad, she doesn't lose too much to Tycho.

I am not sure whether an enemy squad will be able to pin down my squads. If everything goes according to the textbook, Shara and Tycho pin down the enemy squads. The E-Wings should be free to do their work unhampered.

The lists I fear here most are Demo in a 5+ activation list or MC30s in a such a list. Double ISD would be interesting to face. Without squads, I would have wasted a lot of points against such a list

I pondered to include her already. However, you need to consider: On a red die the chance to get the crit is 1 to 8.

Tycho is not really included for the alpha strike, but to pin down enemy fighters. Nevertheless, I think I need to test the fleet. Maybe I do not need Tycho an Norra might come in handy.

This is incorrect, and the second time I have seen this posted in two days.

Red dice have two sides with crits. This means they have the same odds of a Norra crit as any other color bomber die: 1 in 4.

2 crits

2 hits

1 double hit

1 acc

2 blank

Against shielded targets, your X and E wings go from .75 average to 1. BCC makes this change to 1.03 and 1.375

Thx, that is a bold mistake on my side!
