Hi all, I'm looking at starting up with a Rebel Fleet, and want to know if this list is at all viable. I don't really care if it's competitive, I just wanna know if I will lose every game or not. The upgrades on each are open to advice as well, but I'm sticking with the characters for theme reasons (Death Star 1 Trench Run)

X-Wing (Luke Skywalker) -28
-Crack Shot-1
-R2D2-4
-Shield Upgrade-4
-Adv. Proton Torpedoes-6

YT-1300 (Han Solo) -46
-Expert Handling-2
-Shield Upgrade-4
-Millenium Falcon-1
-Chewbacca-4

Drop Adv. Proton Torpedoes entirely. They're only good in lists that are designed around them.

Expert Handling is a mediocre Elite card, I would dump that. Replace Shield Upgrade with Engine Upgrade - the boost action is very valuable on a PS9 large ship.

Beyond that... sort of depends on what upgrade cards you have available. From the upgrade cards you listed, I'm guessing you have access to the Millennium Falcon, Kihraxz, B-Wing and Core Set, so I would make the specific suggestion of:

Han Solo (46)
Veteran Instincts (1)
Chewbacca (4)
Nien Nunb (1)
Engine Upgrade (4)
Millennium Falcon (1)

Luke Skywalker (28)
Predator (3)
Proton Torpedoes (4)
R2-D2 (4)
Shield Upgrade (4)

Total: 100

Proton Torpedoes are kind of crap, but a fluffy choice (drop Nein Numb if you want pure, unadulterated fluff). You won't win tournaments, but this should be perfectly serviceable in a casual game.

Awesome, thanks for the help! Will definitely build towards this.

Very classic and thematic list. Cool.

I'd also find a way to include the Integrated Astromech to take over when R2-D2 gets fried.

You'll save 4 points on the shield upgrade if you go with integrated astromech. You can then drop Nein Numb and go with Gunner on Han.
