What do you guys think?

I personally prefer Norra on the Y wing. I would drop proton torps to upgrade to her. The I5 is nice, and her ability makes her very tanky. I love that build on Ten, wouldn't change a thing. I haven't flown A wings much, but what does predator do for you on Arvel?

+1 for upgrading to Norra. She is a great piece and she will fly well with an equally brawling B-Wing as a wingmate. I like to run her with Expert Handling and an R4 unit to increase her maneuverability and, with DT and VTG, you are only spending 53 points on her. You could snag a shield upgrade for her or use the points to upgrade some other units.

I really like having Advanced Sensors on Ten, since it lets him get an action before pulling red maneuvers, but I also run him with Debris Gambit, which you sometimes want to pop before a move as a way to get your stress and a defensive bump. FCS is a nice upgrade, and you are giving up the big punch of the torpedoes, so I hesitate to say that you should change him around. Plus, running him with AS would mean something else would have to give in your list.

Thane and Arvel look great! The only thing I could think of is giving Thane an R4 in order to give him an extra blue option for maneuvers.

I agree on the R4 unit on Norra. I prefer Ion over dorsal turret but that is personal preference. You could always add seismic charges too, since they are so cheap

Taking away from feed back on the thread Switching out Horton with Nora as well as giving Ten Numb AdvSen for sweet sweet action economy/die mods. Personally not a huge fan of Arvel because if positioned incorrectly A-wings get wiped off the board early and often.

@Glattyator

I like the jake for having a better action economy. However I have flown arvel quite a lot and am capable of bumping him quite often. But I will Definitely give jake a try

H-E-L-L yeah, wish I had the stones to fly like that. I am far to knife fighty for my own good. Also I can appreciate how you moved points too keep your boy Avel
