I decided to rebuild my list with a wingman that helps Kanan out a little more.

VCX-100 Light Freighter - •Kanan Jarrus - 137
•Kanan Jarrus - Spectre-1 (90)
Dorsal Turret (4)
•Maul (13)
•Magva Yarro (7)
Electronic Baffle (2)
•Ezra Bridger (18)
Hate (3)

UT-60D U-wing - •Cassian Andor - 63
•Cassian Andor - Raised by the Rebellion (47)
Elusive (3)
Advanced Sensors (8)
Tactical Officer (2)
•“Zeb” Orrelios (1)
Tactical Scrambler (2)
Pivot Wing (Open) (0)

Total: 200/200

Some fun new tricks in here. If the overall points of the list go down by just a couple in January, I might fly Magva instead of Cassian, and R2 as Kanan’s second crew, with the rest of the other upgrades mostly unchanged. As is, it didn’t quite fit, even without Hull Upgrade and Tac Scrambler.

1) Just out of curiosity, do you ever intend to use Kanan's pilot ability?

2) Kanan is gonna be so bloody stressed that I don't think there's any point in bringing Cassian.

3) Honestly, Ezra/Maul/Hate is a LOT of points for comparatively minimal reward. A Lothat Rebel with Magva, VetTurGun, and PerCo can do basically the exact same for a LOT cheaper

The idea is to use Kanan’s ability to wedge a wingman into the enemie’s face and keep them alive, basically.

Also, most importantly, I just want Hate to work on Kanan.

I couldn’t finish the game due to time constraints, but when I tried it today I never actually bothered with using Maul’s ability. Hate regen’d enough points to not bother with it, and Kanan was stressed from maneuvering. He certainly doesn’t need Cassian and Electronic baffle, but I used Cassian’s ability plenty.

I’m aware it’s not particularly viable in meta, but I’m enjoying toying with it. My original list was with Luke, which I’d say probably worked better. I also built a skinnier Kanan in the app that fit 3 Z-95’s alongside, in an effort to get more attacking power through. Can still use Kanan’s ability to help them out.

I think the problem is wasting your vcx offensive power by aiming it arc at your own ships. The luke/turret build would be much better and you can fit 3 naked Zs.

The core of SpiderMana's build is getting Maul on Kanan's ship so Kanan can equip the Hate Force Talent.

More importantly, don’t tell me something is too expensive and then suggest Luke Gunner. 😜

The goal is to fly well enough to be able to use Kanan’s ability and shoot. Using the Turret purely to keep your buddy in arc on a regular basis is just bad flying.
