Hmm...yeah, maybe it's not really a "problem", then.  I do think the wookie needs to be put on the table, though.  I just hate not having a reroll with a Swarm Leader shot...

I was paged. This is it. This is the list.

I would lose AT on a ship before Juke, but I'm probably wrong.

post FAQ 

Jess/GSP/GSP/Jan is the new top tier meta list

 

 

I prefer Braylen w/ R3 A2 over Jan. Jan can't have TLT without scrimping too much. Braylen gets you a stress bot. Stress is good in a Juke/Snapshot combo.

I really liked flying a stress/ion Y wing with the squad, gives me room for auto-thrusters too. but yes, Braylen could be very effective as well.

That's something I considered, particularly since doing so would give me a 1-point bid against triple jumps.  But, then...well, yeah, less worried about those now.

[Wiredin 3,459]

It's a hard one for sure. Juke > Crackshot on the snap A-Wings for sure... but at the cost of Auto-Thursters in the current meta with TLT and HLC Dash everywhere is a problem. I know at my last group of games auto-thruster saved me huge. So I'd go Crack/AT > Juke right now for sure.

 

When we get closer to our local regionals date I think I'll be looking at my Jan version of this list again, it is still my absolute favorite.

Just ran Swarm Wedge in lieu of Swarm Jess with the Snap/Jukes in an Original Trilogy tournament.  Didn't do quite as well as Jess, but still fun.

[Wiredin 3,459]

guess what time it is?! It's Sheathipede time!!!! I think this could add some new and exciting fun times!

These could be really fun and interesting. The new shuttle gives a lot of fun options. I'm most partial to the AP5 and Zeb versions, but Ezra could be very effective too...

 

AP5 version is built for offense. AP5 can make sure at least one A-wing gets Evade/Focus, or give one Evade if you know it's going to bump. Ops Spec will help with getting the prockets off effectively. But no auto-thrusters in a very dangerous world populated by turrets.

 

Ezra's squad and the Zeb Squads are both built to be tanky. Ezra would help a tad more with offense while dropping to Zeb brings a few very good advantages that make me really lean toward Zeb being my favorite in this. Jess can get even tankier with the points available for thrusters and sensor cluster, then there is also the fact all four pilots are now PS3! I also tossed in a couple of 0 point upgrades to allow the new shuttle to regen a bit. 

I'm excited!

 

 

another idea, but I think it's weak...

Coordinate action provides some utility, and Rex can not only help hand off some evades for swarm leader, but also help supress TLT and draw fire away from the real threats.

it does work, I've flown it a few times and I really like it. I ditched Auto-Thursters to put VI on fenn and optics on Jess. I'm not sure if that was the right choice.. .but it was an interesting one lol

snapshot Ops spect Ezra is pretty cool. Something I was thinking of doing too when the Sheath came out... but I gotta admit, I've been flying Flight Asssit Norra and Wedge A LOT and  I'm in Love..... but this...this is a cool idea.

 

I actually like the idea of that intensity Sabine. She could be pretty hard to destroy with all them tokens too! Ops spec is a very valid option for more offense in these lists. I'm thinking of revisiting Lowhhrick in the fourth position. but turret meta...

I logged in to post this exact build of the list. The sheathipede fits very nicely as a fourth ship in this list, with lots of ways to provide the support the A-wings need to be effective.

With the rest of the ships solid as is, we have 24 points to play with. We want to provide extra offense for our ships, debuffs for the enemy (preferably both) and ideally some survivability. The Ezra above has all three. 

Crew choices: Operations Specialist (3), Weapons Engineer (with M9-G8) (3), Hotshot Co-pilot (4)

Astromech choices: R3-A2 (2), M9-G8 (3)

Build suggestions include.

I haven't.  I've been working on Adepticon lists, and I didn't think I'd have enough practice with this in time to make it competitive.  I do think I'm going to bring it as a Hanger Bay list and/or maybe the Sunday Hyperspace.  I just depends on how things play out during the Thursday Hyperspace and the Open.  Thanks for chiming in, because just by doing so, I think you've inspired me to start giving it a whirl!

I think each shuttle can bring something valuable to this list!

 

AP5 - can almost act as an advance sensors for the team. If an A-wing or Jess did a red move or was stressed, AP5 can still give them double action and remove a stress. 

Zeb - keeps the squad at PS3 for more movement flexibility, and can still give advances sensors for the team.

Ezra - tanky option that can be built in many versatile ways

Fenn - can help with debuffing enemy attacks to help the squad survive.

Not to mention all the droid/crew combos. could be a lot of fun. but worried about their suitability.

I will add 2 things to this.

Ezra is the best stress version with R3-A2. This allows for better control and easier to line up snap shots.

Fenn gives you PS 11 reposition.

I'm all but confirmed to bring this as a Hangar Bay/Hyperspace list for Adepticon.  Rey and Poe are rank highest in my heart, but Jess and the Jukes rank a close second.
