What are people's thoughts on this list? My thought would be to run everyone up one side, hook into the middle of the table, and then bomb the crap out of them. Depending on what my opponent is using, I would use Jake as bait and draw fighters away, or I would use him as clean up and have him follow the bombers. Comments are much appreciated!

My thoughts are that it's nothing to do with the Republic!

Yikes I meant rebellion! 😬

To be honest, I'd be nervous flying this. The ships are all two dice primary guns so outside of Jake's Outmaneuver + Concussion Missiles there's very little threat. If your opponent is able to avoid bomb damage, do you have a backup plan?

I'm still not sure it's much good, but with those pilots (and with the intention of using bombs) I think I'd build it like this:

Gray Squadron Bomber (31)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)
Proton Bombs (5)
Veteran Turret Gunner (8)

Ship total: 49 Half Points: 25 Threshold: 4

Gray Squadron Bomber (31)
Ion Cannon Turret (5)

Miranda Doni (43)

Proton Bombs (5)
Proximity Mines (6)

Ship total: 56 Half Points: 28 Threshold: 5

Jake Farrell (36)
Outmaneuver (6)
Predator (2)

Ship total: 44 Half Points: 22 Threshold: 2

  • VTG + Ion increases the threat from the y-wings
  • I'm not sure Jake's going to take Target Lock too much so concussion missiles doesn't make a lot of sense to me
  • Proton's and Prox Mines gives four rounds of bombing more cheaply than bomblet generator + Gonk
