Pretty sure this has been done before (kinda out of the loop when it comes to this stuff). But I had an idea for a more simple list for the Republic.

Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter - •Ric Olié - 55
•Ric Olié - Bravo Leader (42)
Juke (7)
Fire-Control System (2)
R2 Astromech (4)

ARC-170 Starfighter - 104th Battalion Pilot - 45
104th Battalion Pilot - (42)
R2 Astromech (3)

ARC-170 Starfighter - 104th Battalion Pilot - 45
104th Battalion Pilot - (42)
R2 Astromech (3)

ARC-170 Starfighter - 104th Battalion Pilot - 45
104th Battalion Pilot - (42)
R2 Astromech (3)

Total: 190/200

Seems simple enough to fly to me. Plenty of HP, some 2.0 Regen, and Ric for ace shenanigans. What do you guys think? Any changes that would work better?

3 ARC's + X is a fun and solid archetype, I'm a big fan IMHO time-on-target is one of the ARC's strengths; thanks to the front+rear arcs, they'll almost always have something to shoot. So one tweak I'd suggest is replacing R2 w/ either Hull Upgrade or Shield Upgrade on them, to keep guns online while still getting some extra beef. If points allow, you might consider adding Adv. Proton Torpedoes to Ric as well, to make the "focus on Ric or ARC's?" decision even more of a dilemma for your opponents.

I like replacing the astromech with something else too, and i also like the idea of replacing fire control systems with passive sensors and putting plasma torps on Ric too. Beef lists usually don't wnat to fight over bid, they just want to get as much raw power as possible in the list

Biggest problem with the list is Ric Olie isn't a 7b Obi-Wan. Obi so dang cheap.

Anyhow, I'm not sold on FCS Ric. I've usually found him to be using Focus or reposition actions. Going with Advanced Sensors (which shuts down Full Throttle when used, but it's a potentially strong tool for when you've got slower moves or red moves or would bump) or Collision Detector could be handy. ColDets open up Ric's odd dial some, allowing him to just fly over obstacles a few times.

Adding Torpedoes could also be fun.
