Ran this on Friday against a friend. The game was a stomp, though the dice gods definitely were favoring me that day.

• Colonel Jendon (26)
  • Darth Vader (3)
  • ST-321 (3)
• Maarek Steele (27)
  • Marksmanship (3)
  • Homing Missiles (5)
• Winged Gundark (15)
• Alpha Squadron Pilot (18)

I call it The Crit *******. And they did. Very much.

The Vader crew card is incredibly annoying on a Lambda shuttle. Most folks want to ignore these shuttles, but you can't when Vader is critting you every turn. And it's not hard to keep the shuttle in a firing position when you don't really care if it gets an action or not; that 0 Stop is key.

I'm not a huge fan of Maarek, but he definitely got the job done in this list, and I suspect that there will be upgrades in the future that make him viable.

Winged Gundark didn't even get to see combat. I was swinging him around the outside to get behind the enemy for his crits, but the dogfight was over before he even got there (yes, the alpha strike hit that hard).

The Alpha Squadron Pilot is really just for cleanup.

It's not a competitive squad, but I liked its versatility. It was fun to fly. I'm considering an alternative with just an OGP + Vader to free up points for some real pilots.
