I have no idea if it'll work. But I love to fly fast and dive into things. Thoughts? Really want to fly the falcon and a couple of T70s.

If you want to fly a Falcon and 2 T-70s, i suggest swapping out Temmin and Kare for a naked Ello and a Pattern Analyzer Nien Numb. The reason is that you get the biggest benefit of a strong aggressive aproach: Initiative kills. Also, once you do the first engagement, Nien and Ello are the best at turning around.

As for Rey, i think Finn is a little too expensive, but i don't have anything to replace what he does. Instead, i suggest picking the title and taking Korr Sella to correct the resistance's Falcon biggest weakness: Stress management

You'd end with something like this:

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

Ship total: 56 Half Points: 28 Threshold: 4

Nien Nunb (55)
Integrated S-Foils (0)
Pattern Analyzer (5)

Ship total: 60 Half Points: 30 Threshold: 4

Rey (73)
Korr Sella (6)
Rey's Millennium Falcon (5)

Ship total: 84 Half Points: 42 Threshold: 6


Total: 200

Instead of the title why not use the cheaper one off in Contraband Cybernetics?

Hmmm.

One other option is swapping Rey with Finn for Chewbacca with Rey. I'm not sure if being able to use Rey with the turret on the flank or rear is worth it compared to Finn's automatic blank? You do lose out on Rey's second force charge, but gain Chewbacca's ability and an empty elite talent slot. You also give yourself a common initiative across your squad, meaning you're not locked into a specific activation or engagement order (which can be a godsend in a brawl).

So like this?

Put composure on Snap.

You can then purposely fail your boost to gain a focus token and then target lock with your action. Good double mod ship. Try to keep him out of the line of fire, without heroic he get a bit squishy.

I switch Kare for Nien personally. Nien with PA is a lot of 4K and Talon roles followed by boosts or barrel rolls to get you into range 1 to clear all that stress. Sounds like the kinda game play you are after.
