Draco is awesome... I think it's just baseline royal guard +1 (23pts). Solid
Here is who I like for a z-95 forward scout:
Taffer Jackson: PS 5 : you may deploy touching any asteroid. You are not considered overlapping during your first turn.

Ok, not a ship or a pilot, but something based on my custom Z-95 for Lt Blount... before FFG came out with an official one...

Modification? Title?
" Replace any ordnance (missile or torpedo) with System Upgrade."
Cost:?

I'd say 16–17 points, that's actually a pretty decent ability. I'm guessing he has no EPT, or else that could actually be kinda nasty.

That would be game changingly good. TIE Bombers with FCS? Yes please! Advanced Sensors TIE Defender? Count me in!! Dutch with FCS, Hobbie with FCS, Kath with EH + AdvS . . . The list just goes on. I'd say 4 points.
Qorl (TIE/LN, PS 7, EPT): When defending, any critical hits from the attacker are automatically cancelled.
18 Points for Qorl. Less Pilot Skill but more durable than Howlrunner.

Edor Crespin, A-wing, PS8
After you perform an attack with a secondary weapon, you may perform a free boost action. Then you may perform a primary weapon attack.
The idea is that the boost is optional, but saying no won't prevent your free attack. Not quite sure how to word it to make sure of that.
29 points I think. Extra attacks are really good even on an a-wing.

33 points, it's a versatile ability that gives the player great choice in how to configure an already potent ship.
Jerec

Grand Moff Tarkin

7 points for affecting ships within range 1. Really needs a range restriction at that cost. Nullifies the advantage of PS. It's not balanceable in the regular game.
Emperor Palpatine
Imperial only
all your ships cost 1 point less
Um... This can't be costed either. Too good in epic. Not good enough in 100 points. maybe pay 3 per 100 points, but even then it's odd.If anything give him a negative point cost and have him do nothing.

Edited by Aminar19. I'm not a fan of costing upgrade slots so the gain of PS but loss of EPT makes it identical to a GSP in my mind. It theoretically costs 2 points more anyway.

31, which is two points less than expose if the PS3 E-wing had an EPT built in.

My take on a scout:
Kev Storme
A-Wing
PS 5
At the start of Combat Phase, you may choose an enemy ship within Range 1. Reduce that ship's agility by 1 (to a minimum of 0) for the rest of that Combat Phase.
And an experienced squad leader/instructor:
Gordon Mes
Y-Wing
PS 6
After performing a green maneuver, you may assign a focus token a friendly ship within Range 1.
For the Imperials:
"Death"
TIE Advanced
PS 8 (EPT)
At the start of the Activation Phase, you may increase your Primary Attack by 1. Then, receive 1 Stress.
And his wing-mate:
"Death's Hand"
TIE Advanced
PS 6 (EPT)
At the start of the Activation Phase, you may remove 1 Stress Token from "Death," if he's within Range 1.
A-Wing, 24 points. That ability is awesome.
Y-Wing, also 24 points.
Death, though I would word it slightly differently, 24-25 points. And yes, I know Maarek is 27 but the **** things cost too much anyway.
Hand, 21. He's a severely limited pilot in a crap ship that makes you take two crap ships if you want his ability to matter at all.
Ok, I know I've said these before but I want opinions here.
Grand Admiral Thrawn
Imperial only. Huge ship only.
Increase the Pilot Skill value of all friendly ships by 2.
Commander Sarklii
Imperial only. Huge or Large ship only. (so you can't put him on a Phantom)
Decrease the Pilot Skill Value of all enemy ships by 2, to a minimum of 1.
whoever gives the points for these, can you give two totals? One for if the abilities modify PS by 2, and the other for if they only modify it by 1. Thanks.

Hmm. I'd say for Thrawn he'd cost 5 points of the PS is raised by two, and 3 points if it is raised by 1.
Sarklii is actually a more dangerous one as he can be put on Large ships as well. I'd point him out at 6 points for the 2 PS reduction and 4 points for the 1 PS reduction.
Now for my ship:
Fel's Wrath (Updated, PS 5, no EPT): choose one friendly ship at range 1–2. You may forfeit your attack to add two attack dice to that ship's attack. You may not do this if the defender is outside your firing arc.
