Pick a pilot to defect to your faction!

By R22, in X-Wing

Play primarily Imps? Which Rebel would you bribe over for the glory of the Empire?

Are you a Rebel? Is there an Imperial you'd love to have a crisis of conscience and become a freedom fighter?

Pilot brings over PS, EPT if they have it, and pilot ability if they have it. Upon defecting, assign a ship of equivalent base size from the new faction. Congrats!

Don't forget to say why you want them!

I want Farlander in an Interceptor.

Give him Push the Limit and watch him turn the stress into hits.

I was going to say that.

Ibitisam would also rock...rerolling defense dice would be HUGE.

Tycho gets amazing here too.

There are a ton of Rebel pilots that would be excellent in Imperial craft. Both Y-wing pilots have great abilities. Horton in a squint rerolling blanks at Range 2-3? Many times yes. But for maximum effect/evil, you would probably want Etahn A'baht in a regular TIE riding swarm shotgun with Howlrunner. Critzkrieg.

On the other side, most named TIEs would be good in an X-wing as they have excellent (and basically free) pilot abilities. Maarek in anything with 3 attack makes him viable. I think the thing I would want most is not a pilot though. Give me ST-321 so I can lock up everything before the first exchange.

In the strictest sense I can't answer this question, because I play both Empire and Rebels frequently.

If the question is instead what pilots I would most like to have switch factions, that's easy: I want Biggs in a TIE Advanced to run next to Howlrunner (fairly self-explanatory, I think) and I want Vader in... well, pretty much anything to be honest, but let's go ahead and say B-wing for the durability and barrel roll.

Vader in the Falcon would be rather nice.

Vader in a Falcon.

I think the empire could use Kyle Katarn, we have a lack of abilities to pass focus. Helpful for bombers and anybody really

wedge in a phantom?

Kyle in a Firespray

Howlrunner in a HWK w/ Chewbacca crew. Not as saucy as her in an X or B wing but fun.

Biggs Darklighter in a TIE Fighter.

Soontir Fel in an E-wing

Keyan Farlander in a Tie Defender

Seriously, everything is personal flavor. For Imps - Biggs followed by chewie (actually see competitive play)

Rebs- howlrunner followed by Janus (Omg the possibly synergy is insane)

Even better, if we could have a Kyle Katarn that passed out evade tokens!

I want Boba Fett in an A-wing.

Bank 3 -> Daredevil is no joke.

Howlrunner in an X-Wing - would be straight up OP.

Also wouldn't mind Soontir Fel in a B-Wing.

I don't want a pilot.

I just want an R2 unit for the empire. A single one will suffice.

This is the part where all the Rebel players who hate (random Imperial pilot who is "SO overpowered!") decide they want that pilot to defect.

Although, I will echo Jehan Menasis...
I just want some Imperial only Droids...

Droid slot and R2 on the TIE Defender? ;)

Vader in an E-Wing, if we're keeping base size. Horton Salm in a Defender with a HLC?

Soontir Fell in an E-wing. Tycho Celchu in a shuttle.(**** it he should be anyway.)

Krassis in a Ywing? I know it breaks the rules, but it would make ICTs even more fun!

Arvel Crynyd in a shuttle with anti pursuit lasers?

Ok, I'll go now

Biggs in a TIE Advanced.

Wedge in a Squint.
