Hello, I was browsing the list Juggler meta analyser and took a look at the YT-1300 + VCX 100 Lists

I wasn't satisfied so I cooked up my own version and thought I share and get some feedback.

The list:

Rey — YT-1300 45

Expertise 4

Finn 5

Kanan Jarrus 3

Millennium Falcon (TFA) 1

Ship Total: 58

"Chopper" — VCX-100 37

Fire-Control System 2

Autoblaster Turret 2

"Zeb" Orrelios 1

Ship Total: 42

So, I was thinking classical FinnRey and Chopper threatening very mean blocks with possibly having a blocked ship also stressed and shooting it with 5 dice with double mods. In general the idea is just to joust and try to break up any formation with Chopper. Wanting a lot of hitpoints for the enemy to chew through was the main inspiration for coming up with this.

I am quite satisfied with the VCX so far but if anyone has a different setup: please let me know what you came up with and why.

I'd like to hear your thoughts

I don't think Zeb on Chopper, in this setup, is helping him over-much. I think Hera crew would give you some much better options.

I'm also not sold on Chopper pilot, but YMMV, I suppose. I'd rather run a Lothal and use the points elsewhere - I've never run into an issue, playing with or against Chopper, where his stress was meaningful. Minimally, it makes his playstyle of blocker a bit too obvious and avoidable, in my experience.

I've used Rey (same build) plus Chopper - and then swapped Chopper for a Lothal Rebel. Chopper's ability rarely came off, and his PS makes him not as good as a blocker a lot of the time. Plus Hera crew can then be afforded, which really frees up the dial.
