I've got a league match this week. My opponent will be flying a Tie Defender with Maarek Stele. He's gonna be tough to kill with his 3 agility.

Our ships are set but I can change some upgrade cards.

Move got a turret weapon choice. I can take either an Autoblaster turret or Dorsal turret.

Im thinking the Autoblaster would be better since his 3 dice can't cancel any hits.

Thoughts?

Really need to see a build to give you any clue....

In general, stress works pretty well, after they nerfed the x/7 title.

Edited because my list is wrong.

THIS IS THE WRONG LIST!!!! The correct lists is in a lower post! Scroll down.

Here's my list. Not sure on his beyond Maarek Stele

I'm looking at the HWK turret either Dorsal or Autoblaster

Ghost squad ( 125 )

Garven Dreis — X-Wing	26
R2-D2	4
Integrated Astromech	0
Ship Total: 30
Green Squadron Pilot — A-Wing	19
Juke	2
Chardaan Refit	-2
Snap Shot	2
A-Wing Test Pilot	0
Ship Total: 21
Gold Squadron Pilot — Y-Wing	18
Twin Laser Turret	6
R5-P9	3
Vectored Thrusters	2
Ship Total: 29
Rebel Operative — HWK-290	16
Dorsal Turret	3
Pulsed Ray Shield	2
Ship Total: 21
Blue Squadron Pilot — B-Wing	22
Fire-Control System	2
Ship Total: 24

Personally I would not use the autoblaster turret on the HWK. The Y with vectored thrusters would be more effective in my opinion. Also use those low PS ships to block the defender so he can't token stack

Good point! I'll swap the TLT onto the HWK and give the Y the Autoblaster.

I posted the wrong list. Below is my correct list. I've got Jan Ors on the HWK to feed the Y-Wing evade tokens. I was toying with the idea of dropping Jan from the HWK and putting Vectored Thrusters on the Y. Haven't made that decision yet. So here's what I'm currently running. I'm 3-0 in our league and haven't lost a ship to enemy fire with this list.

Garven Dreis + R2-D2 + IA

Green Sqd Pilot + test pilot + Chardaan Refit + Juke + Snap Shot

Gold Sqd Pilot + TLT + R5-P9

HWK 290 + Jan Ors + Dorsal Turret + Pulsed Ray Shield

Blue Sqd Pilot + FCS

Garven sends Focus Tokens to the Y to regenerate shields. Jan Ors sends evade tokens to anyone that needs one.

So, I'm trying to decide if keeping the Dorsal or swapping for an Autoblaster would be better against the Tie Defender?

Also wondering if I should drop Jan and give the Y vectored thrusters?

Well, sounds like you have a nice squad there, per your W-L. If i were to change anything the autoblaster on a Y with VT would be a monster. To make it fit and to keep Jan, I would look at keeping the dorsal or

keeping the dorsal or?

I almost hate to change either of the turret weapons. These were the heroes of my last two battles. They chipped away shields and hulls well in the last two games. I hate to lose that range 3 from the TLT. I just know those three defense dice on Maarek are going to be tough to get shots through. I'll need to focus fire on him first to try to get him off the mat ASAP. That could take a few rounds with his 3 defense dice unless I can land some solid hits. I plan to joust him the first round with the X-wing and B-wing in hopes of getting some range 1 four dice rolls. I'd bring the A-wing around to flank and hope to get a snap shot/juke combo in while hitting him range 3 with the TLT and hope for a range 1 shot with the Autoblaster. Gonna be tough.

Thanks for the advice. I'm now 4-0 with this squad and in the lead in our league. My opponent had two Tie Defenders and a Punisher. The Punisher went down pretty quick but the D's were difficult. It was a 3 hour battle but they went down. I lost my A-wing due to my flying error along the edge of the mat. I picked a red maneuver while stressed so my opponent got to change my dial and flew me off the mat. My only ship to fall to enemy fire was my Y-wing yet it was avoidable. I was flying it along the edge of the mat and Maarek got a tractor beam hit and lined it up to fly off the mat. So, both my losses were due to my error.

We go up to 150 points this next week. I think I'm going to drop the B-wing and add Miranda in a K-wing. That will give 4 of my 5 ships the ability to regen.
