Resistance Transport List

Thinking about the droidmobile support transport; you could try pairing them with a resistance bomber configured for maximum forward dakka.

  • Cobalt Squadron Bomber
    • Trajectory Simulator
    • Pattern Analyser
    • PZ-4CO
    • Veteran Turret Gunner
    • Finn
    • Proton Bombs
    • Seismic Charges
  • Jaycris Tubbs
    • R4 Astromech
  • Logistics Division Pilot
    • C-3PO
    • M9-G8

Pattern Analyser plus M9-G8 plus co-ordinate means the bomber should have focus/calculate/rerolls at all times, and Jaycris lets it clear stress with ease since it effectively has his 'improved' blue dial, meaning it can alternate between speed 1 and speed 2 turns indefinitely. Meanwhile, anything caught in the bomber's forward arc is in for a seriously rough time of it between two well-modified primary attacks and launched bombs.

Not sure if you would catch anything in the forward arc with an initiative 1 ship

I just ran a similar list that was really effective.

Nodin w r4 & Korr sella

Vennie w/c3p0 and veteran turret gunner

Greer w/ heroic & advanced optics

Zari w/ heroic & advanced optics

Nodin provides great support, c3po on vennie gives him the double calculate or that red coordinate if you need it in a bind, though I don't like stressing the bomber out if I don't have to.

Typical turn is coordinate a target lock to the bomber who already double calculated. With VTG, 2 modded attacks.

I'm thinking of trying this next:

Poe Dameron (68)
Marksmanship (1)
BB-8 (8)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Black One (2)
Autoblasters (2)

Cova Nell (38)
Leia Organa (Resistance) (19)
R4 Astromech (2)

L'ulo L'ampar (43)
Heroic (1)
Advanced Optics (4)

Not sure if I should replace Advanced Optics with Proton Rockets, or Lone Wolf

I won a HST with

Cova + Leia + Heroic + R2 Astromech

Poe + Heroic + R4 Astromech + S-Foils + Title + Advanced Proton Torps

Tallie + Proton Rockets + Heroic + Lone Wolf

I originally used Lulo, but he just kept exploding to random shots. Tallie can afford to be much more aggressive, and safely link actions to threaten those prockets.

Ran a list similar to this last night. I ran Cova with pattern analyzer in place of R4 and Jaycris Tubbs in place of L'ulo. Poe is a beast when you line his shots up and Tubbs is an amazing support piece for Cova. I never needed to use Leia and am even considering taking her out of the list.

One other possible use for the resistance transport is as a resistance 'stand-in' for a Y-wing - it has a torpedo slot, the option for good supporting hardware, and it's cheap.

  • Poe Dameron
    • Targeting Synchroniser
    • R3 Astromech
    • [9 points of other upgrades to taste]
  • Logistics Division Pilot x 2
    • Proton Torpedoes
    • Perceptive Copilot
    • Advanced Optics

Filing this one away to try when I get a second transport.

Nearly any list that kicks off with Poe and Targeting Sychronizer is a winner in my book. I really like this and am tempted to put the spare points toward upgrades that make sure Mr. Dameron lives long enough to share those locks.
