It is pretty nice, if a bit of a crap-shoot. The trouble with a-wings and ties is their 3 agility. Sure they have no focus/evade, and thus cannot modify their defense (without some pilot ability or upgrade), but snap shot only ever rolls 2 attack dice and they cannot be modified. Against Z-95 swarms and especially the less agile ships (like b-wings and decimators) that's easier, but against 3-dice ships, your foes do enjoy an advantage.

And yet with that said, yes, it's pretty cool to get a bunch of free attacks, though weak, and anticipate that at least a couple times your foe will flub their defense roll against your lucky hit + crit. Low odds at high frequency eventually leads to tragedy. :)

I'd say a swarm of snapshot-equipped ships may be really deadly against large and huge ships. They don't have a lot of defense, and they're particularly vulnerable when Snap Shot would trigger (before they recover shields or apply their reinforce token).
