I've only flown this on Fly Casual, but it is actually really fun. Right now trying it with APT Luke and Outmaneuver Wedge (with space for a few other upgrades).

Anyway, Hera is an I5 w/180 arc. Pre movement choice on direction. You can Afterburners, then barrel roll link to evade, and still have Lone Wolf/Force for offense (pretty good mods). Kanan also lets you clear stress on white.

Definitely not top tier competitive, but a pretty fun, capable ship for 63 points. You could also swap out Burners for Hull or Shield, but Burners is probably a little stronger.

Interesting! Coincidentally my (used) attack shuttle model arrived yesterday. Hmm....

Kinda off topic but the attack shuttle is the most underrated leia carrier

Zeb+leia+Ion Turret

44 points

For 44 points you get leia, you can stay back and snipe with your 3 dice primary, or switch to combat mode and strafe around the fight, using the ion cannon and your linked evades to block, ionize, and generally run interference

When using the attack shuttle I usually try and keep Hera as a cheap i5 filler, I’ve flown this list on Fly Casual to reasonable success;

Hera Syndulla - Crack Shot, Dorsal Turret

Thane Kyrell - S-foils, DES

Norra Wexley (Y-Wing) - Marksmanship, ICT

Luke Skywalker - S-foils

Total: 200

I have also used this list for added beef;

Hera Syndulla - Dorsal Turret

Thane Kyrell - S-foils, DES

Norra Wexley (ARC-170)

Wedge Antilles - S-foils, Marksmanship

Total: 200

Both lists are pretty capable of initiative kills and are all pretty self sufficient. Thane always needs to shoot last because of his ability and DES.
