Looks like it uses lots of HP to endure enemy fire, while pouring good amounts of damage on targets (and up to 4 damage per round is inescapable if you catch them at range 1, good for aces). I like it. It's too bad you don't have points for Zeb crew, but that'd throw lots of things out of whack; what you have looks good.

I would add one of the free EPTs to Chewy, probably Adaptability (you should be able to borrow it from someone at your game store if you don't have one). Consider adding "Chopper" (Crew) to the VCX-100 or maybe even the YT-1300, because he's free and doesn't hurt anything if you don't use him. You might occasionally find yourself with a target in arc at range 1 when you're stressed, and you want to lock or focus to better nuke the snot outta them. ^_^  Dealing a damage to yourself could be worth that, especially if it takes an enemy ship off the table (and thus prevents future damage from that foe).

Then it's time to play your fleet a bunch if able, to become familiar with how it plays, especially if you're planning on using it during regionals. This lets you work out any kinks in your strategy, your turn-by-turn tactical decisions, or your fleet design. If you can play against Jumpmasters (Dengaroo and/or U-Boats) and TIE Defenders (x7), that will train you well against the main meta threats, but also mix it up with other options. Ideally, grab someone who's going to regionals too, and you two can help the other train. If you have a Facebook page for your local area's X-Wing players, definitely post there looking for a practice partner.

Even if you can't find an opponent, moving the ships yourself on both sides could do a lot to familiarize you with both your fleet and common opponents' fleets, and give you insights into their counters to your strategy (how their ships move, how they'll approach and behave, who they'll target, etc). It's good to get into your opponent's head even at a base level so you can come to the table with a little tactical foreknowledge.
