I just bought into this game after a test game with my brother. I bought the starter, an A-wing and a Tie Fighter. So I'm looking into what else to buy.

I was thinking of

Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot
Academy Pilot
Howlrunner + Swarm Tactics
Alpha Squadron Pilot
Captain Yorr +Anti Pursuit Lasers

I thought a combination of 5 manueverable fighters along with a tought to kill shuttle might be good synergy and the shuttle's ability to syphon off stress markers from the Tie fighters.

What do you all think?


Quick question - can the fighter get a focus if performing a red manuever and the shuttle takes the stress token?

Yeah, as Yorr hoovers up the stress when the other ship receives it, you should be able to perform an action.

mini swarm and shuttle is a nice set up. Experiment with some other shuttle builds until you find something you like. Yorr + elusiveness on Howlrunner can be fun, basic Omicron shuttle w/ Vader for cheap crit-factory is nice, gunner + fire control is a buzzsaw, and so on.
