I flew Dash in this build last week and was pretty impressed with his resilience. But on the search for a better wing mate... I thought maybe I could have some fun and make a really tanky list. My only problem is I fear the Rebel without a turret will succumb to death faster than the younglings at the hand of Darth Vader.

Rec Spec/Jan could give VCX a focus/evade if needed so she has the focus for offense and evade to scratch a damage. Deflectors have proven effective in the alpha strike meta... But Jan could also give Dash the focus/evade/countermeasures 3 defense dice hi-jinks when it's really needed... and that is never a bad thing.

I see where you're going with this. And I like the idea of tanking Dash. What if you got rid of recon specialist, added autoblaster turret, and you could do a 1 point crew like Hera.

it's not a bad idea. but I'd probably want to swap over to FCS if I had Hera... I may do that anyways

That's a good point. And for the record, I have seen reinforced deflectors used to great effect. It's a good idea. And it makes the ghost much more survivable. the downside is it loses alot of that offensive power without FCS.

yea I think enhanced deflectors could really help keep it alive longer. The Ghost drops surprisingly fast without the defense modifiers.

Exactly. And even more so when flying next to Dash. It's a big fat target begging to burned down when Dash is being elusive.

Dash is very elusive with the countermeasures. I'm shocked how well it worked when paired with Adapability Corran. I'm just trying to find a better wingman than Corran due to Shadowcasters and JM5K's eating him for breakfast and I really like the Ghost...but I hate how much of a point sink it is.
