Probably gonna fly this tonight if I can justify driving 40 minutes for a pretty late tournament...

A bigger bid would probably be good? But as it is, I really like the mobility options on each of these guys. Keeps them a lot less predictable (except maybe Lando 😜 ) and I think their primary weapons will treat them decently. Norra has the Proton Bombs to make up for a primary attack value of 2, though. Boom-and-zoom-into-range-one is the idea for her.

I have two thoughts here. First: I don't know if Norra is doing enough for you. If I'm your opponent, I know very clearly that I'm going to ignore Norra at the start, and I don't think she has enough dakka to punish me for that choice. Second: I'm not crazy about Engine Upgrade on Lando, especially since you've already put the points in to give him Nien. Lando's doing blues all the time; there's very little downside to taking a stress when you boost. Those seven reclaimed points can do you a lot of good.

I'd drop the bombs on Norra to add Veteran turret Gunner and Dorsal Turret. Only leaves a bid of 2 which could end up biting Thane, though if your comfortable leaving first player up to your opponent upping the Dorsal to Ion might be useful.

Yeaaaah apparently my local meta is pretty much all counter-meta and none of the meta that shows up elsewhere? So the one i5 I flew against was Kylo, and even with the bid and giving him initiative I got crushed by him. (Mostly because Lando got bump-trapped by the two Ups he was flying alongside.)

I like Engine upgrade on Lando as it give him flexibility to take a boost as his free action and TL at a range he couldn’t have pre-boost? Plus, then he’s not as locked into blue on turns he needs to do a hard turn.

Norra was a fun idea, but in the Y-Wing didn’t perform too great. I found myself immediately wishing I’d have put an R4 on her as well.

Either way I’m not likely to bother flying this again—just not my thing—but I learned a lot from my poor flying and just facing new lists.

I guess my Hyperspace is gonna be Resistance, until the Republic joins the fray.
