So i just bought my Republic collection (i already have Rebels, FO and Resistance). I'm no beginner but I have no experience with GR. So anyway here's a list I'm kinda thrilled about:

Plo Koon (Predictive shot, synchornized console and R3 astromech) - 50 pts

Ahsoka Tano (Brilliant evasion, calibrated laser targeting) - 52

2 x Red Squadron Bomber (proton torps, synchronized Console) - 2 x 48

Total: 198/200

Any feedback and tips on modifying it are greatly appreciated.

Brilliant Evasion isn't worth taking. Predictive shot is also ehh for me.

I see what you're doing with Plo and the consoles, to enable the Y-Wings to actually get locks and fire, but you leave the problem where one of them won't be able to spend the lock, resulting in a sub-optimal shot.

I personally would replace Ahsoka with Obi-Wan, his Focus ability and I5 is great with CLT. Then I'd drop the Force Upgrades and put R4s on the Y-Wings so that you can actually turn them after reloading or K-Turning.

This.

With the exact same ships, you can do what I did....

There are other options ofc!

Matchstick is fairly expensive, so switching him for an RSV with ICT would give you 7B on a Jedi and a pair of R4s somewhere. Or Chopper.

Or regen....

Honestly don't think there's loads of great options for 2 Jedi, 2 Y... Tends to get a bit thin on points or Initiative.

Only Match and Broadside have really appealed to me from the Y's so far, but the RSV is reasonably priced for a filler. Or as a 7th Fleet Gunner caddy maybe.

R2, I can see some utility, but he's stuck with that awful dial and can end up overpriced with the upgrades you bring him for.

Broadside being only 3pt more than the RSV is honestly obscene. He will go up, up, up! So use him now

Obi is the best value among Deltas, so you kinda need him. Mace, Plo and Luminara are all good value as the 2nd. Ahsoka and Saesee seem merely OK , to me but they are good fun. Ahsoka sort of needs 7B, which makes her an expensive I3.

Anakin, he's a diva, the squad needs to be specifically built for him. One of 3 aces, or just Obi, or Obi plus a torrent or 2 is pretty much a done deal it seems. There must be more to it than that....

As for what you have there-

We've played with Synched Console a fair bit at home, my boy really likes it. Personally really struggled to see it being worth using, it's more action hungry than it seems. It can also lead to some sub optimal targetting and brings much less double modding than you'd imagine. Locks often need to be spent after all.

However, the one time it did actually seem to be clicking, was in a squad with Ahsoka, (7B!), so there is that.

Still, I think if I'm going for that Synched double mod torp alpha from the RSVs, I go Plo and Obi with Foresight. Locking with both at I5, passing the lock and utilising their abilities to keep the roll/K-turn open may come together.

I tried a similar thing with a totally different squad. Bat Med Ani fuelling 2 7th Fleet ARCs for the double mod 4 die x2 alpha. It seemed just too loaded on the front end of the game and didn't have a consistent enough follow through.

I feel like this may go the same way, Jedi are mostly geared for the long game.

Lots of fun to be had with this faction atm, enjoy your builds and good luck

I'm not crazy about Brilliant evasion and predicitive shot either. I'd ditch Brilliant Evasion, and everything on Plo for Battle Meditation on Plo.

Have you tried this list?

I did not get to that list after a couple of underwhelming experiences with my other Battle Meditation ideas at the time. Battle Meditation just isn't very good. This also was not really something I wanted to try as I can not bring myself to spend thirteen points on proton torpedoes though at the time I was trying to find this sort of list.

Op's idea is probably better. You want Jedi to be able to go where they want without needing leashed to the clones. Battle Meditation sort of ties you to the clones.
