The E-wing acts as the "wedge" of the list, flying in fast to do damage, and disengaging to regen. I could have just taken wedge, but I feel that the easy double mods and added defense with regen and more greens make him a better choice.

Ten numb is still the same, a tanky brawler to run with dutch.

Dutch had to drop his protons for plasma torps, but his damage output is still good.

Jake will fly close to dutch, and pass him a focus when possible. I'll try to create lanes with the rocks so jake can fire his prockets early on.

It's not the monster that was old rebel beef, but it still looks competitive.

Any thoughts?

Nice spot on the Chopper & Elusive interaction. Personally, I'd drop Chopper for a Fire Control System, as I don't know how often you'd be wanting to regen while the charge is active. Also, as Chopper uses an action, you could find yourself under someone's guns without a token to mod your defense.

OG Rebel Beef with Jake subbed for Wedge still seems super good:

If I were to do that, would it be a choice to drop elusive in favor of a bid or a different talent?

I've seen Elusive used to great effect on E-wings, so I'd keep it.

I like, but would you consider dropping Tac Officer and putting Autoblasters + Marksmanship on the B-Wings? Jake takes up the coordinate task thru his ability... and may the galaxy help you if the Bwings get you in their bullseye...

It's a good thought and could certainly work out OK. Though there are some interesting things you can do by coordinating a boost+focus to Jake before he moves. Or coordinate a Barrel Roll, where he then does a red boost to give Cassian a focus and then clears the stress with a blue maneuver.

But that means using the Coord to boost your only 2 red dice ship... I would guess his role here would be to act as support ship (thru his ability) and general nuisance...

What about this below, still 19 pts to add...
