So I have really embraced a less is more (in terms of upgrades, not ship count) approach to list building in 2.0. I’m also stoked beyond all reasonable measure about our two new factions. As such, I’ve got a four ship list for both the FO and Resistance and I’d love some thoughts/feedback/etc on them. Thanks in advanced!

Black Ops- I think the new a-wing is very cool and I very much appreciate our non-Poe t-70s.

Fanatics! Pretty straight forward, two aces and two i4s that add dice when they attack. All of them big fans of what Kylo and Snoke are laying down.

List 1: GIVE NIEN PATTERN ANALYZER - it lets him get 2 actions out of red moves.

List 2: Fanatical and QD seem like they don't have much synergy, what with all her shields that want to be spent.

I’ll try to make room on nein, that’s interesting! With QD, fanatical lets her have teeth after her shields are gone, keeping the threat up. Are there other talents you think could work with her? Thanks!

If you need to free up room you can always drop other EPT's down to Heroic to save a point (for Nein)

I see the theoretical value of Fanatical on QD, but you could totally run her EPT slot empty

I really like your first order list. I know its 6 points but you may want to add Shield upgrade to QD giving them one more bonus attack.

BackDraft - Trick Shot, SF Gunner, FCS

QuickDraw - Trick Shot, SF Gunner, Shield Upgrade

Shield would be nice for sure! My only concern with loosing fanatical is the loss of late game offense. Old SFs had FCs to keep them flush with TLs but that is no longer the case... fanatical offers the most consistent offensive out put and that feels klutch. New FCs is also QDs only real hope to have mods on her regular shot and any potential bonuses.

Totally, at 2 points though, why not have it for the end game?

Great thought! If I do that, I can do exactly what Greebwahn suggested and fit pattern analyzer! Good calls from both you and them!
