Just horsing around a bit, thought this could be fun:

Garven Dreis (X-Wing) (47)
Predator (2)
Proton Torpedoes (13)
R3 Astromech (3)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 65 Half Points: 33 Threshold: 3

Ten Numb (48)
Advanced Sensors (10)
Heavy Laser Cannon (4)
Proton Torpedoes (13)

Ship total: 75 Half Points: 38 Threshold: 4

Kyle Katarn (36)
Elusive (3)
Jyn Erso (2)
Moldy Crow (18)

Ship total: 59 Half Points: 30 Threshold: 3


Total: 199

Katarn hands out Focus or Evades to folks as need it (the latter thanks to Jyn), with Garven passing his gently-used Focus tokens back to Katarn for safe keeping into the next round if possible. Ol' Numb benefits from Jyn's effects, getting Evade tokens instead of focus as he's got his Stress tokens to munch on, with Passive Sensors letting him get those actions in.

Thoughts?

Have you considered Esege Tuketu or Jake Farrel in this list? The proton torpedoes seem a bit expensive and you could drop the torps and advanced sensors for Jake to get more action economy. I did not know about Jyn and Kyle until right now and I kind of love it.

I'd roll with:

1. Kayle Katarn: Moldy Krow, Perceptive Copilot
2. Garven Dreis: Predator
3. Jake Farrell: Predator
4. Ten Numb: Fire-Control System

Kayle can Focus for two tokens, pass one to Garven or Ten Numb who can Lock targets. Jake Farrell has the potential to pass a Focus Action to Garven or Ten as well with his Boosts and Rolls. If you stick together, you end up with 6 Focus Tokens and 2 Locks in the most perfect situation. In the worst, with 5 Focus tokens and 0 Locks. Just keep Garven in front of Kayle if possible, Jake with Ten Numb and you are golden.

Best case scenario, Kayle moves and Focuses for 2 Tokens. Garven moves and Locks a target. Ten moves and Locks a target. Jake moves, does a Roll into Focus for himself, then does a Boost for a Focus for Ten, who links it into Red Roll for Stress. During Engagement, Kayle passes a Focus to Garven. Garven shoots first and gives the token to someone else within range. Ten Numb has a Lock with Fire-Control, Stress and Focus, all the possible mods he can ask for. Jake has a Focus for his attack and Predator if you fly him right.

My general feel is that I trust bodies more than I trust upgrades, and you've gone *very* heavy on upgrades. ProTorps *and* HLC? You can't use both at the same time, so one is always going unused. Advanced Sensors to get a target lock for an Ini4 ship who probably needs the movement to get in lock range? I think slimming down to cram in a fourth ship is a safer path.

I don't currently own a K-Wing, but Jake seems like he'd be an interesting fit. And yeah, I just happened to be perusing my collection at the time and realized that Kyle / Jyn have some damned good synergy.

Not bad by half, my dude. I still want to keep Jyn in with Kyle somehow, since that's the combo I'm really curious about.

I tend to go in the opposite direction, as I think mods add character and unpredictability, but your point with the torps and the HLC is well-put. Hmm.

Here's another bash-up, taking into account y'all's advice (which is appreciated!). It lacks the torpedo-murder and relies on good piloting to line up those bulls-eyes a bit more, but there's still plenty of focus / evade play. Thoughts?

Ten Numb (48)
Predator (2)
Heavy Laser Cannon (4)

Ship total: 54 Half Points: 27 Threshold: 4

Garven Dreis (X-Wing) (47)
Predator (2)
R4 Astromech (2)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Ship total: 51 Half Points: 26 Threshold: 3

Kyle Katarn (36)
Jyn Erso (2)
Moldy Crow (18)

Ship total: 56 Half Points: 28 Threshold: 3

Jake Farrell (36)
Predator (2)

Ship total: 38 Half Points: 19 Threshold: 2


Total: 199

If you want to milk Jyn Erso for her Evade tokens, you can try this as well.

1. HWK 290 - Kayle Katarn: Jyn Erso
2. T-65 X-Wing - Garven Dreis: Predator
3. T-65 X-Wing - Edrio Two Tubes: naked
4. UT-60D U-Wing - Benthic Two Tubes: Perceptive Copilot, Leia Organa

I like this, though sadly I don't have either of the Two-Tubes.
