Hyperspace Resistance - XXYT

By darkflop, in X-Wing Squad Lists

I only have 2 T-70s and one YT in my Resistance collection, and I want to put them on the table in an upcoming Hyperspace Trials!
I thought of this list, with two different versions. The core idea is a coordinating YT supporting the T-70s, with one ace zipping around and Bastian mopping up. I find it really fun to play, the coordinating shenanigans are just awesome.

Version 1 - fat YT:

Ello Asty (56)
Heroic (1)
Black One (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Lieutenant Bastian (48 )
BB Astromech (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Resistance Sympathizer (68)
C-3PO (6)
Tactical Officer (2)
Rey (14)

Total: 199

Version 2 - Protorp Bastian:

Ello Asty (56)
Heroic (1)
Black One (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Lieutenant Bastian (48 )
BB Astromech (2)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Proton Torpedoes (12)

Resistance Sympathizer (68)
C-3PO (6)
Tactical Officer (2)

Total: 197

I'm not sure which is best. Is Rey worth it on such a low init ship? It does make it a bit more durable/consistent, but the idea of a nasty protorp coming from Bastian after the other two strip shields is very appealing and (I assume) makes it more difficult for the opponent to decide target priority.

Thoughts?

It occurred to me overnight that I could drop the “fat” upgrades and raise the overall squad init, ending up with the following build:

Ello Asty (56)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

 Nien Numb (55)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)

 Chewbacca (72)
Trick Shot (2)
C-3PO (6)
Tactical Officer (2)

Total: 200

Out of the three lists, which one would you pick and why?

List 3 because it has Chewbacca. It looks really fun to fly.

Yes indeed, I’ve been thinking about it and I’m really liking his ability.

I could actually upgrade the base YT to Chewie in the first two lists, by dropping the BB Astro (and Black One in the Rey version).

So many possibilities, this is great!

Now I have to figure out what is more valuable: Nien vs protorp Bastian vs Rey gunner...

I don't really see that a coordinator is worth it here. You could go PA Nien and Bastian for full mods on those 2, then a beefier, independent Falcon

Yeah honestly that red coordinate is not worth 3PO.

So I've put various variants of my lists on the table, and I really like the coordinating ability to help double-mod or reposition the T-70s. Even just the double Calculate is really good when Coordinate is not needed. I also tried something different with Han+Finn+Rose. Now I'm torn between three lists:

1 - Minor variant of my second post, I5 T-70s supported by Chewie:

Chewbacca (Resistance) (72)
C-3PO (Resistance) (6)
Tactical Officer (2)

Ello Asty (56)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Nien Nunb (55)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)
Black One (2)
Total: 200

2 - Replacing Ello with Bastian to provide rerolls to friends/foes and adding Trick Shot on Chewie - I feel this is better than list 1 because of M9-G8, but I don't know how valuable Ello's I5 is in comparison:

Chewbacca (Resistance) (72)
Trick Shot (2)
C-3PO (Resistance) (6)
Tactical Officer (2)

Lieutenant Bastian (48)
M9-G8 (7)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Nien Nunb (55)
Heroic (1)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)
Black One (2)
Total: 200

3 - Forget about Coordinate and go for Han with lower Init T-70s that still can take care of themselves. Han can fly independently of the T-70s, his ability being perfect for flanking or baiting:

Han Solo (Resistance) (76)
Heroic (1)
Rose Tico (9)
Finn (10)

Lieutenant Bastian (48)
Integrated S-Foils (0)

Jessika Pava (52)
BB Astromech (3)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Total: 199

Which would you pick and why?

I LOVE list 3. Fantastic pilots, though Jess is a little lonely

That is a good point, she would fly alongside Bastian so getting only one die rerolled most of the time.

She could actually be replaced with naked Ello or Nien (I think I would prefer Ello in this instance, white 3 tallon is probably more flexible) - is going I5 worth losing that one rerolled die?

For Ello...probably
