the issue with both lists is that R2-D2 makes you very predictable as it forces you in to green maneuvers to gain back shields and to clear the stress of PTL forces you into green maneuvers also the way you have built Poe and Corran they focus heavily on green dice and Corran with SD has 2 the green dice to what Poe has and the odds of getting a hit/crit is slightly higher than getting and evade on dice so against any attack with 3 or more dice is likely to do 1-2 damage to them and if the get shot more than once a turn they will take more damage than they can heal the following also Dash suffers against concentrated fire, so overall an opponent who knows you ships will be able to predict your movement and will know to focus fire one of your ships with all of theirs then gun down your second ship after wards, and logic would be to take out your Dash first as it has no Regain and throws out 4 attack dice with it's HLC then take out Corran or Poe after Dash has drop so you 4 point R2-D2 will do nothing till Dash has gone and you may only get 2-3 uses out of it after depending on how many ship they have left and what the are

Poe doesnt want sensor cluster with intensity. Primed thrusters for movement and attacking, or comm relay for survivability. Im in the primed thrusters camp my self.

Drop recon for rey crew. It opens your actions for barrel roll and TL instead of focus every time. Also makes Dash getting blocked hurt a lot less. With the extra point put Engines on Corran. Boost keeps him alive and getting range 1 with that double tap is a game changer.

I think advanced sensors ptl r2d2 Corran is the best build, but Intensity com relay r2d2 Corran has the prettier ship.

diverting slightly, bb8 com relay Intensity autothrusters is two points cheaper, makes a better use of black one title and follows Cannon ;)

I'm looking at going Dash leebo with Mangler and an awing blocker.

I've been wrestling with this same question for a few weeks... I think I've finally concluded that 2 Ywings is better than either Dash or Corran...

Also the rest of the thread is 100% right when they say Rey is awesome. You can still get a clutch double focus when/if you need it, but getting TL+focus or BR+focus all game, whenever you need it, is golden. (Obviously this assumes you can charge Rey up).

I have been wanting Dash for a while. Finally ordered one, havent recieved it yet, but i was excited to try this.

Dash into the Landfill. I like that one.

Poe is a nice match for Dash, but I like this Poe: Intensity, BB-8, Primed Thrusters, Autothrusters, Black One. I would also use Rey over Rec Spec.
