nothing fancy. Just barebones, so we can field four ships. I have no good idea on how to fly this list either. I was just looking for pilots that could bring more action economy. After putting Kyle, Dutch and Garven, I noticed I had exactly 52 points left. And Wedge fits into that. Although my experience so far is that Wedge get focused down fast by the enemy. Maybe an extra focus from Kyle/Garven can help him a bit.

One neat trick is that Garven can give Kyle a focus if the situation looks like there is too many focus lying unused, and Kyle store it to next combat round.

If plans go right; This list can end up with all four ships with double modded dice: Kyle gives focus to wedge, wedge target locks. Dutch gives tl to Garven, Garven passes focus to Dutch hopefully. And Kyle can tl and spend a stored focus.

How would you fly this list, or do you see something that should be changed?

you can drop the ion turret for three R4 astromech on both X wing and the Y.

Give Dutch an ICT, definitely.

And any ideas where to take points from?

How would you fly this list? Pretty close to each other?

The key is opening engagement phase: Ap-5 coordinates gives a focus to dutch, Wedge focuses.Dutch TL something, pass a target lock to wedge, takes the same target. Two stabilised torpedos shot on the same ship.

I took down twice some Arc170 like this, he rolls blank and blank on defense, 4 and 4 damages, Direct hit on the last crit.

And of course Biggs is Biggs...
