My own experience with the Fireball tells me you're building them way too fat.

Kaz plus R5 is enough. Slam to evade until the killshots in the end game.

Your Republic lists are leaner and meaner. Daredevil is a great shout on the N1.

Resistance A:

This is close to one of the top 32 uk sys open lists. Im not sure what primed thrusters does for you with all your 1 and 2s being blue. Outmaneuver poe was in that top uk list and frees up 5pts (dropping primed thrusters) for a 7pt bid, which is what I would want for a 3 ship list.

Resistance B:

Main problem I think is no bid for other i5s. Dropping Yeager droid to r4, gives you points for heroic, r4 Poe to have an i6 in the list to counter i5s.

Republic A:

Close to one of my fav republic lists, only I have intimidation, APT Anakin and outmaneuver Ric. It has everything I like in a list (double repo aces,burst damage,premove shenanigans, and a solid flanker).

Republic B:

Close to the top 4 uk system open list, just drop the r4s and toss outmaneuver on ric. This is probably republics best list at the moment. One I will be putting in reps with. I like the idea of Ahsoka capable of giving all three of my ships pre-move shenanigans in this low generic meta. The latest Mynock podcast has the guy who flew this list explain his thought process vs all the meta boogeyman. Definitely give it a listen. EDIT: But Daredevil Ric with Plo Koon tossing a focus is good and the combo I have most experience with, and it works decently. I just think Outmaneuver in this meta probably does more work on Ric right now as a flanker.
