After moderate success with a rebel 4 ship list, I decided to consider taking this to the FW system open. Luke and thane are the Ace/endgame pieces, while braylen is a consistent anvil for the x-wings

What do you guys think?

It's not bad, but I actually don't see the trick here.

Just 4 ships, which are okay or even good. Seems pretty casual.

I'd expect most other squads at FW system open to be better though.

Depending on how much you value Thane for the late game, I'd be tempted to drop him for a Selfless Red Sq Vet, which not only gives you some damage spreading, but also saves enough points for S-Foils and a cannon of choice (probably AB) on Braylen. Bit more punch, bit less likely to lose a ship early - but an I5 goes down to I3 and you lose the ability. Worth testing I'd say.

Hmmm...

If that's the case, how about 2 selfless B-wings? They can protect the X-wings, and they're basically small base ARCs. Seems ok

• Braylen: Stabilised S-Foils, Autoblasters
• Dutch Vander: Plasma Torpedoes, R4 Astromech
• Garven Dreis: R3 Astromech
• Jake Farrell: Concussion Missiles

Braylen can double tap. You have three dice at every range with Dutch and Jake. Garven is just being himself. Best option is to fees him Focus through Jake, but that's in a perfect engagement scenario.

You have double mods on Braylen (Focus > Failed Roll and Lock from Dutch). You can get double mods on Garven (Lock and Focus from Jake). And finally either Dutch or Jake can get double mods as well (Lock and Focus from Garven).
