What are you most looking forward to from Wave3?

Captain Jonus is sick. I posted a thread about it not too long ago, but it hasn't garnered much attention.

Jonas (22) and Krassis (36) have a natural synergy with HLC (7) equipped to Krassis as well.

thats 65 points so far. running missiles on Krassis seems logical as well - assault missiles (5) seem good here.

40pts left.

Thats where you can deviate a bit and add your own style to this squad.

I am going to go against the grain here and go with Vader (29) + concussion missiles (4). Giving him either swarm tactics or squad leader (2).

that leaves me 5 more points for upgrades. (i like engine upgrade on vader here a lot, but thats just me). What i like about adding vader is i have another missile carrier to benefit from Jonas as well as a threat they will want to take out early (easier said than done with his 9 pilot skill and evasive movement using boost)

Of course i could always hedge my bets a little and opt to run a second wing of 2 cheaper intercepters (36-40pts) or 3 academy pilots (36pts). Hmm im starting to think having a few low skill pilots could be useful for engaging the enemy at close range. i need some fodder to hold them off a bit or run interference for my HLC. Any Thoughts?

Jonus Tie Bomber + Krassis Trellix Firespray with HLC and the crew who makes 1 range 3 hit a crit for 2 points (his name escapes me).

I'm just looking forward to getting a HWK-290 and a Lambda-class Shuttle. Seeing the former in a catalogue at my local store is actually what led to me trying out the game. I want the former for nostalgia value, seeing as how I grew up with Dark Forces, and I want the latter because it's my favorite Star Wars ship.
