here's a semi-swarm list i plan to play this weekend. It's a revised ABBA with the addition of an extra A wing (Arvel Crynyd).

Green Squadron Pilot (32)
Crack Shot (1)

Ship total: 33 Half Points: 17 Threshold: 2

Arvel Crynyd (34)
Intimidation (3)

Ship total: 37 Half Points: 19 Threshold: 2

Green Squadron Pilot (32)
Squad Leader (8)

Ship total: 40 Half Points: 20 Threshold: 2

Blade Squadron Veteran (43)
Tractor Beam (2)
Jamming Beam (0)

Ship total: 45 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 4

Blade Squadron Veteran (43)
Tractor Beam (2)
Jamming Beam (0)

Ship total: 45 Half Points: 23 Threshold: 4


Total: 200

Good? Bad? Any improvements to suggest or any idea which lists are strong against this one?

I'm mixed on a Squad Leader Green A-Wing. I think coordinate might come in handy now and again, but it's so expensive. The Init 3 matches the rest of the squad, but Jake Farrell is 36 instead of 40 points, or for 34 points there's either a SQL Phoenix 34 or an AP-5 Sheathipede with Leia (technically, he's still an "A").

I feel like something else worth thinking about is Selfless on the B-Wings. They've got a lot of shields to take stray crits, but requires closer position. Maybe that fits with how you'd already fly the list, maybe it doesn't. If folks tend to get into a scrum at some point, knife fighting or such, maybe it'd be good. I wouldn't recommend revising the entire premise of the list and how you fly it for Selfless, though. On paper it seems nice (I mean, saving an A-Wing from a crit can be huge), but it seems really easy for it to just... not matter.

One example of a list without Coordination:

• Green (Crack Shot) 33
• Green (Crack Shot) 33
• Arvel (Intimidation, Crack Shot) 38
• Blade (Selfless, Tractor Beam) 48
• Blade (Selfless, Tractor Beam) 48

I couldn't really say that this is a better list, just that it uses different tools. Selfless could easily be a waste of points, depending on how it flies, or it could save an A-Wing from a Direct Hit instagib. Another potential loadout (in a non-coordinate world) is Shield Upgrade and Crack Shot on the B-Wings, dropping Tractor. B-Wing, like A-Wings, have the ability to focus and reposition, making them better with crack shot than average.

I'm more just thinking about stuff, than improving, though.

Thanks, i really appreciate your suggestions. I'll modify the list as you said.

Again, it's not about "change your list" -- I think your list is probably fine -- but to think about other options.
