Double T-(70)M

By Captain Pellaeon, in X-Wing Squad Lists

Okay, first off, apologies for the horrible pun.

Secondly, IMHO Poe and Snap are the best T-70 aces currently, and I'm trying to build a list around their abilites. Here's what I came up with:

Poe Dameron (PS9) (33)
Intensity (2)
BB-8 (2)
Comm Relay (3)
Autothrusters (2)
Black One (1)

"Snap" Wexley (28)
Intensity (2)
Targeting Astromech (2)
Pattern Analyzer (2)
Integrated Astromech (0)

Green Squadron Pilot (19)
Juke (2)
Chardaan Refit (-2)
Snap Shot (2)
A-Wing Test Pilot (0)

Total: 98

Poe can always have a focus and a TL as long as BB-8 keeps things rolling, so that boosts his offense over regen Poe. Snap has tremendous action economy and arc dodging abilities, since he just does a T-roll, gets a TL from the astromech, gets a free boost action, an evade token through Intensity and a focus action due to Pattern Analyzer.

The only thing I wasn't sure of, is what should be the third ship for the remaining few points. I'm going to try a Snap-Juke GSP as a cheap(ish) blocker and annoyance. Should I downgrade the blocker to a naked Prototype pilot to fit torpedoes, perhaps?

I like Poe and Snap but I prefer a named pilot like Jake for the A-Wing.

I guess having two PS9s make sense, I'm just not sure how effective a 2 ATK ship is. Jake can position awesomely well, put can't really hit hard without prockets. And even that is a one trick pony.

I don't really like IA on Intensity Poe, since it's his astromech that makes his EPT work...

I was hoping for just Two named T-70 Pilots tooled up to the nines. R5P9 ptl Poe, R2D2 on the second, torps, thrusters... Maybe Expertise Ello? You know you want to...

I liked the idea of having a high health ship in here to act as a bullet sponge and it has a great firing arc. Primer thrusters on Snap let’s him perform his free boost after a talon roll which will still give him the intensity focus or evade.

I'm not a fan of Intensity on Snap, he'll use all his tokens too consistently. I think VI is a stronger choice on him. I also like R2 or Flight Assist Astromech on him: Both open up his positioning a lot, the R2 with greens after a red, and the FAA with a free barrel roll to complement his free boost. That would be my fav option, especially considering with Primed Thrusters he could then Boost/Barrel Roll after a red!

I think Primed Thrusters is the strongest Tech on BB-8 Poetensity.

That leaves enough room for Jake, Biggs, or my personal favorite option, Jess w/ M9-G8 and Pattern Analyzer.
