I am going to an extended tournament in 3 weeks. I am debating between two similar lists. 3 strong aces fully loaded or 4 named pilots.

3 Aces (198 points):

Braylen Stramm (52)
Autoblasters (3)
Heavy Laser Cannon (5)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Stabilized S-Foils (2)

Wedge Antilles (55)
R2 Astromech (7)
Afterburners (6)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Norra Wexley (Y-Wing) (41)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)
Shield Upgrade (4)
Veteran Turret Gunner (10)

4 ships (200 points):

Ten Numb (48)
Stabilized S-Foils (2)
Wedge Antilles (55)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)
Jake Farrell (36)
Intimidation (3)
Composure (1)
Homing Missiles (5)
Norra Wexley (Y-Wing) (41)
Dorsal Turret (3)
Adv. Proton Torpedoes (6)

I am a very causal player and play in a local tournament 3-4 times a year. I don’t care about meta, and play lists more for fun. However, I don’t want to be wiped of the mat!

Thank you in advance...

Looks fine, though (and this is personal taste) I'm not a lover of alphabet soup lists. You want to amass firepower on a target, destroy it, and move on to the next. Might be okay for casual but in a tournament setting, it's going to be hard to keep everyone together and if you spread out, your opponent can pick them out easier. Also, Norra's got a great ability for an 1 (pseudo 2) Agility ship but with no R4 or afterburners she's predictable. Not a fan of homers or composure either, unless again, used en masse.

Honestly if you want to keep the same ships I'd do this:

Norra Wexley (41)
Crack Shot (1)
Dorsal Turret (3)
R4 Astromech (2)
Afterburners (6)

Ten Numb (48)
Crack Shot (1)

Wedge Antilles (55)
Crack Shot (1)
R4 Astromech (2)
Servomotor S-Foils (0)

Jake Farrell (36)
Crack Shot (1)
Intimidation (3)
Total: 200

Personally I have flown these 4 ships in a tournament and went 3-2.

Id try flying norra with Ion cannon and VTG. The rest naked and use the other pts how you see fit. I beat 4 U wings and my 2 losses were to people who had qualified for worlds

4

@KingmanHighborn Never thought afterburners on Nora. I like that idea.

@Amc879 I do like Nora knife fighting with VTG. She soaks up a lot of dmg.

4 it is then. Thank you!
