I've been trying to come up with some 3-ship, all PS9+ Rebel aces lists. Ideally they'd end up around 97 points to give it a good bid against most lists. There are no wrong answers here!

Here's my first one. I don't really have much of plan with this, they just fly all over creation and are like swatting gnats.

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Push the Limit (3)
BB-8 (2)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

Jake Farrell (24)
Push the Limit (3)
Proton Rockets (3)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Autothrusters (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Ahsoka Tano (17)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Nien Nunb (1)
Captured TIE (1)
Sabine's Masterpiece (1)

Total: 97

If you want Ahsoka, give her Rey. Even if you are bumped / need to barrel roll / evade you can still use her ability. Also, EMP Device / Black Market Slicer tools make her even more of a nuisance.

I usually put Rey on Ahsoka, but then that bumps the list up to 98 points, which becomes more of a gamble for the intiative bid. I've considered dropping the Black One title on Poe, but it's so nice to have because people don't even bother putting a TL on him when he has it. It's already a fairly weak list. If it doesn't move last, then it'll stand no chance. BMST is an option on Ahsoka.

I have a couple that i use regularly, i normally don't count it as an Aces list if it involves a large base or a turret (i have numerous lists including Ghost/falcon/K wing)

That looks very much like the one that I ran last weekend (have you been nicking my lists, lol), except from the fact that I had no crew and a (totally unnecessary) 5 point initiative bid. It was fun, if fragile. I went 2-3 but two of those defeats were due to my either getting too clever with Poe/BB-8 shenanigans or forgetting to strip target locks.

I think when intensity comes out I will be swapping out PTL and Pattern Analyser for Intensity and Primed Thrusters as the ability to get an evade token on Poe could be really useful.

Also a leftfield option on Ahsoka could be saboteur. I know it's normally a rubbish upgrade but if she does not need her actions for evade or barrel rolls why not have a shot at turning an opponents hit to a crit.

Hah, yeah, I think I was the one who suggested the ridiculous 5-point bid. I was encouraged to see you did as well as you did! If I had room for Saboteur, I'd probably just go with Rey. Really, I think BMST is the way to go, I just have to proxy it until I can acquire one.

I'm referring to it as the 'fun' 5 point bid. I forgot saboteur was 2 points, thought it was just the one. I think saboteur is prob the best option then

When Intensity comes out, this'll be my attempt. Until then Poe has PTL and Pattern.

I flew this last night against x/7 Vessery, x/7 Ryad and PtL Inquisitor. I liked it, despite losing in a close game at the end. I knew facing that, I'd have to fly all over the place, dodging arcs and it'd probably go to time. In the end, I lost Jake, my opponent lost the Inquisitor and he won by 2 points. Ryad and Ahsoka were untouched, Poe down to 2 hull , Vessery down to 1 hull. I didn't utilize Ahsoka very well...she never fired and I kept getting her bumped, so she rarely got to hand out actions. I only used BMST once (on Soontir), and it didn't do anything.

It's a fun list and I'll keep it on the back burner. It's nice to see the entire field before even putting down a ship. I don't know if Pattern Analyzer is the right choice on Poe over Primed Thrusters. I found myself in a ton of situations where I couldn't use BB-8 and rarely pulled off any PA shenanigans. Really, with BB-8, PT might be the right call.

i like this list, they fly like defenders

I like the idea of the list, but I'm looking for stuff which has PS9+ for every ship.
