So I tried the Resistance Pilot thing we were talking about earlier. My guild has basically already won this Territory Battle, so I had nothing to lose by testing it out.
I used Endurance as my capital ship, then started with Plo Koon, Scimitar, and Milennium Falcon. I wasn't up against a tippy-tip-top-tier fleet, to be fair, but it was a nicely-developed team of Biggs, Wedge, Vader and Executrix at lead.
My Plo was the fastest ship, so I was able to put his taunt on Falcon, which then spread target lock to everyone and allowed Endurance to hit all of them with its AoE. Executrix ability blocked Scimitar, so I wasn't able to put Retribution on Falcon, unfortunately. Worse yet, the Falcon was ability blocked basically the rest of the match (Executrix's AoE, then Vader's dispel, then Boba Fett's reinforce) so I was never able to get Thrust Reversal or its AoE off. But, on the plus side, it soaked up A TON of damage and debuffs, and whenever it attacked the Resistance Pilot would chip in.
I like it. I don't think it would work in Arena right now because my Plo Koon is still just g9, and I think I took his mods off a long time ago (but that's easy enough to fix, a day or two of farming at most--you don't need to give him GOOD mods, just 5-dots in all slots). But it's something worth building up in the future.
FWIW, I put heavy attackers in my reserves, but only needed Resistance Pilot. The Retribution on Mace's ult gave me an inordinant amount of counterattacks. I don't think you can really rely on that all the time, but it's good luck when it does.
