list i'm considering building

[rxstumpy]

1x HWK-290, Rebel operative, ion cannon turret and moldy crow, shield upgrade. 28 points
2x Z-95 bandit squadron, naked. 24 points.
1x Z-95 bandit squadron, assault missiles and munitions fail-safe. 18 points.
1x A-Wing, Jake Farrel, proton rockets, munitions fail-safe, determination. 29 points.

TOTAL: 99 pts

help and suggestions appreciated

i would love to make a swarm of ships involving the outrider and the HWK-290 but i'll make that list after i get some sleep

Looks pretty fun.

A couple nitpicks, the Moldy Crow Title may not pay off easily without recon specialist. that can save you 3 points.
Determination may not be too useful on an A-wing. With only 2 hull, the odds of it being useful are slim. If you've got a point leftover, though, why not, eh? Perhaps Veteran Instincts, if you care about pilot skill.

If you take those saved points, you can make the missile-toting bandit into Lieutenant Blount, guaranteeing you'll hit with the missiles, and you wouldn't need that Munitions Failsafe either. Not to mention, at PS2, a bandit with Assault may go down to focus fire before he can get his missile off!

thanks for the suggestions. i'll go modify the lists and see what i can find

I've personally never found Assault missiles to be a great choice, they're rather situational. You're probably better off just running that z-95 naked and throwing the extra points into something more likely to be used, maybe throw Prototype Pilot onto Jake and pick up Push the Limit, possibly also drop determination for Veteran Instincts like Ron mentioned, getting the drop on high-skill pilots like Rexler Brath could mean the difference between life and death when flying a flimsy little bugger like the A-wing.

how about
1X YT-2400, eaden vrill, heavy laser cannon.
1X HWK-290 rebel operative, ion turret shield upgrade.
3X Z-95 naked bandits

NOTE: i realized far too late that the yt-2400 primary is 360 degrees and the Eadens upgrade makes up for the original lack of punch. i might sub out HLC for something else

100 points
