I was trying to make something similar to Vonreg/Kylo plus FO Friends or Vader+things, and I think Corran could fit this role well. Luke or Wedge could also work, but I wanted the increased maneuverability of the E-Wing. I'm still not sure on the filler: maybe more Y-Wings? Move up to Init 2 to beat droid swarms/Academy ties? Corran's loadout is also semi-negotiable: the talent can change, and Afterburners might not be strictly necessary but seems very good.

I've been looking a lot at Corran recently, I've tested both R4/Predator and Elusive/Chopper on him and both are good fun.

I enjoy having quite a punchy ship alongside him to thin the field as quickly as possible, Ten Numb with Proton Torps and S-Foils can double mod his 4 dice attacks thanks to the red lock action - at 63 points I'm not sure if that's good value or over-costed though. AP-5 is great for Corran, as is Fenn Rau although he tends to be a relatively easy 50 points for your opponent.

If you trim down Corran, he can still be a very effective ace, but you could have room for Leia on AP! Maybe ditch LW, and have R3 instead of R2?

If you want an E-Wing Ace, you want an R4. Those Red 1 Hards are terrible. That change alone allows you to fit Leia on AP5.

Lone Wolf with so many ships is going to be very complicated to trigger.

The elusive/chopper combo is really really fun, but far from effective. In my experience with 2.0 Corran, the best build is CS, FCS, R2-D2, Spare parts/afterburners.

I’m currently using Corran with Jake farrell as support, and Miranda to deal with swarms (she carries bombs and diamond boron missiles). It’s working really well, and has several tricks.

R4 making hard turns blue is awesome, but you won’t be linking the TL that often, as the linked action is garbage in the E-Wings.
And while having 1 hards white is really good, 1.0 Corran didn’t even have access to that maneuver, so I can live without it.

i think even if regen is really expensive now, it’s golden on Corran.

Alright, I've taken some suggestions, and here's what I've got.

Made Corran a little thinner to squeeze in Leia, although she might not prove useful.

Alternatively, a much thinner Corran with a bit chunkier support.

Looks good, but perhaps you can switch a cavern zealot for something else at 39pts.
