I haven't used my ARC-170 yet, I just picked up Sabine's TIE, I've got Intensity Poe ready to go, and now... I'm trying to make it all work.

HAVOK SQUADRON

99 points

Poe Dameron (PS9 Version) (41)
T-70 X-Wing (33), Black One (1), BB-8 (2), Primed Thrusters (1), Intensity (2), Autothrusters (2)

Ahsoka Tano (24)
Sabine's TIE Fighter (17), Veteran Instincts (1), Sabine's Masterpiece (1), Captured TIE (1), EMP Device (2), Recon Specialist (3)

Thane Kyrell (33)
ARC-170 (26), M9-G8 (3), Rey (2), Alliance Overhaul (0), Vectored Thrusters (2)

THE GAME PLAN:

Standard Intensity Poe doing his thing. Thane pulling as many free actions as he can to reposition, stack focus' or adjust target locks as needed.

The goal for Ahsoka is to block(?), EMP, get out of dodge, and use her double focus to support the squad or use for defense. I'm concerned though, if she is worth the points in this list as she is pretty fragile. I love the idea, but I'm not sure how long she can last to make her worth it. Does Poe even fit in this list? Is Thane's build optimal? I'm still new to X-Wing, and I love Poe, and Thane looks like a nice support ship that has some offense/defense capabilities, but I just don't know what is most cost effective and appropriate in the list.

Thanks in advance for any advice offered!

So thane can do at most three actions a turn, not bad. However, if you use this, be aware that people will have to choose between Poe and thane, and in this setup, Thane is the better choice. Deny him the actions by attacking him, or attacking poe if you are out of thanes Arc. Regardless, you will have to pilot thane and poe very well to make sure that thane doesn't just get ruined. Otherwise, spending the 1 point for R2-D2 on Thane isn't too bad of a plan to help him live longer.

Realized my point count was 2 short. I could add Seismic Torpedoes to Thane, giving him another option from his ability, or from Ahsoka. Not sure if I am making this list synergistic, or if I am making it too situational.

I'm not a usual rebel player but, these are the changes I'd do, I love BB8 Intensity Poe btw:

1. Keep the 2 point bid or more,you'll want to move after other ps9 to remove target locks and arc-dodge.

2. Change Rey for Jyn Erso in Thane, if ur opponent is attacking Poe you can suply him with focus or yourself with focus.

3. Switch ReconSpec on Ahsoka for Rey, so you can barrel roll focus

The only problem I see is the one mentioned above, your opponent does NOT have to attack someone other than Thane, to cancel out his ability. But other than really like it.

Just picked up a U-Wing (and Imperial Veterans!). I never realized how much synergy Jyn had with Thane. I like it. I thought Ahsoka's ability was "another friendly ship" not "a friendly ship", so Recon Specialist it is.

I think all the pieces in this list work well together. I'll be play testing tomorrow against QD, TLT Aggressor and two Omega TIE's w/ Snap.

Is it more productive for Ahsoka to use EMP as soon as she can so there are more guns on the table, or for her to pull support for the first few rounds? I guess it is a pretty situational question, but I was wondering if anyone else had some input on it using a similar build.

Thanks again for the feedback!s

I agree with Dante. Jyn is amazing on Thane. And Rey on Ahsoka is great on Ahsoka but i think recon spec works you as you can still barrel roll and you will have a focus. Or have focus/ evade. Both solid options

I'm begining to doubt how effective Ahsoka will be in this list. For the same point cost, I could replace her with Gemmer Title, Chaardan, Stealth Device and Snap Shot. I'm not sure which is going to be more reliable in the long run.
