So my first attempt at a 100pts rebel list. Have 2 variations, what is better and what could i improve?

Wedge+Swarm

Dutch "Vader"

Dagger

Blue

100pts exact

Or

Luke+Swarm

Roark+Ion Cannon

Blue +Fire Control

Blue

I like the ability to have better PS when needed. First list of course is more survivable. So what do you think?

First list also deals more damage, but you can do significantly better.

With the First list, I would trade Wedge Antilles for Garven Dreis .
Garven Dreis and "Dutch" Vander (you got his name wrong up there, btw) is the oldest pilot combo in the game, and is still one of the best. What happens is this:
"Dutch" target locks, which lets Garven target lock for free. Garven Focuses, attacks (Target Locked and Focused), and passes the Focus Token to "Dutch", who attacks (Target Locked and Focused). Repeat ad nauseum.
Moreover, you may instead give those spare actions to your B-Wings, thus freeing them up to barrel-roll into superior positions more often.
With GarVander and 2 Blue B-Wings, you have 7 points left over for further fleet modification. Salt and Pepper to your own tastes, so long as you avoid the heck out of Torpedoes.

For the second fleet, a Fire-Control System is not ideal. Instead, I would take those two points and either give Roark a Saboteur , or give him Nien Nunb and give Luke an R2 Astromech . The first option gives Roark a damage boost, and an increased deterrent for keeping folks out of Range 1 against him, adding to his long-game survival. The second option gives Roark and Luke the same number of Green Maneuvers as a Tie Interceptor. On Roark, one of those is normally a Red, and maneuverability is huge in this game.

Also, seeing that you love Swarm Tactics shenanigans, here's a fleet-list just for you :)

Roark Garnett

+ Ion Cannon Turret

+ Chewbacca

[28]

Luke Skywalker

+ Swarm Tactics

[30]

Green Squadron Pilot

+ Swarm Tactics

[21]

Green Squadron Pilot

+ Swarm Tactics

[21]

Yes indeed, with this 100 point fleet, ALL 4 SHIPS shoot as Level 12 pilots. If Roark goes down, then the remaining 3 still shoot as Level 8s.
