On the subject of the A-Wing having difficulty to get damage through despite their price, I think this is exacerbated when flying the aces, particularly because of the way they used to price higher pilot skill compared to now. Jake's somewhat better because of his fantastic ability, which also makes him a good Proton Rocket deliverance system. Unfortunately missiles essentially have a 2 point tax on A-Wings.

Were I to fly the squad, I think I'd drop Tycho's Predator for Rage, which will give him a focus and his own rerolls. This gives Norra the ability to keep a lock on Jake while also using it for her own ability, so she'll be in the fight more, while also being cheaper. I'm dubious of the effectiveness of Snap Shot on Jake, and would drop for a free EPT, either Adaptability or A Score to Settle. I'd also switch Predator for Outmaneuver. With 4 points cleared up, the last change I would make would be to drop Expertise on Norra for Push the Limit, she'll be taking stress, but she can focus target lock every turn for her ability and she has good greens. This would all allow for Jake to be given a Proton Rocket.

The organizer said that he'd see if he could get pictures of all the custom cards so everyone could see them. There were quite a few pictures taken of the event, so I may incorporate those into some more detailed battle reports.

For what it's worth, here's a picture of me with the dice.
