Hello!
Does anyone know or may ask Nate French if Wedge and Luke from the Hoth cycle will be "errated" to have the Pilot (2) keyword?
Thank you!
Pilots of the past
No one who knows anything about the new cycle can say anything right now.
An important thing to keep in mind that has been pointed out on other threads is that the Pilot (x) keyword allows a pilot to be deployed on any Vehicle instead of just Speeder and Fighter units which is how they are currently worded. In other words, it would allow crazy things like Home One striking twice in one engagement when enhanced by Wedge.
While changing them to have the pilot keyword would give them the ability to be placed on non fighters or speeders, they could be worded such that their text only worked on fighters and speeders (Like Fel is).
Also, Stay On Target will already allow them to be placed on any vehicle, though as I've pointed out elsewhere they won't have their abilities when put into play via the fate card regardless of the other traits of the vehicle.
Or just leave them a they are, without errata. Their abilities work as the game plays just now, even with the new Pilot mechanic coming. So why change them?

To avoid the awkward situation where they get put into play by Stay On Target but then don't have their ability so you have to remember across potentially multiple turns whether you played them or put them in play.
I do not get why they won't have their abilities. You mean their boxes would act as "blanked" if played by Stay on Target if they where deployed somewhere else than in a Fighter or Speeder or am I missing somethign else?
Their text would be ignored as they were not played from your hand, they were put into play by the effect of another card.
They only have the ability to be PLAYED with that extra text. Putting them into play as an enhancement would not be that, so they wouldn't have their nifty text.
Understood. Thank you!
