Couldn't find another topic on this, so what is the most attack dice possible at once?
Is 8 the Magic Number?
Build:
Any ship with Astromech and Elite Skill Slot (X-Wing/E-Wing)
with 2nd ship
You can't stack Opportunist and Expose, they're both EPTs and R2-D6 only gives you a slot if you don't already have one.
You can get to 7 with APT, Opportunist, and Jan. That's the max I can think of.
I just realized that R2-D6 doesn't give you a 2nd Elite Slot and it's only for PS2 or lower.
so is 7 the Max?
I just realized that R2-D6 ...only for PS2 or lower.
You've got this backwards. Can't use it on PS2 or lower.

R2-D6 is for PS 3 or HIGHER. Cannot be equipped on pilots of PS 2 or lower.

Yeah, I mixed up the R2-D6 pilot skill requirements.
But is there a way to get more than 7 Attack Dice?
Green Squadron A-Wing with Proton Rocket, Opportunist flying with Jan Ors gives you 7 dice, single shot at 26 points each.
Nera Dantels + APT + HLC + Opportunist + MF (?) give a potential recurring 6 dice HLC shot with Jan Ors HWK, or a one-time 7 dice with APT and Jan, but this is 44 points (or 43 without MF)
Do you need Nera Dantels to get up 6 dice?
To get the EPT slot for Opportunist you do. I can't see another way for Dagger or Blue Squadrons to get the EPT slot.
She's the cheapest B-Wing to do it, and gives you a 360-arc for her torpedo slot too... which would be fun to pop someone behind you with a 7 attack dice punch in the chops.

Buy another pack of dice. 
I think that the highest number of dice in a attack is 8 for a single attack by x-wing with adv proton torpedo + opportunist and Jan Ors.

APT is 5 dice, plus 1 for Opportunist and 1 for Jan. That is 7.
Sorry, 5dice for 6 cost

I think that for a couple more points Keyan Farlander is much better:
Keyan Farlander + Opportunist + HLC
Jan Ors + ICT
Wes Jansen + DTF
6 Attack die most turns and because of keyans ability the stress from opportunist is effectively a focus so it's like having PTL for TL + F every turn!
Green Squadron Pilot + Stealth Device + Prototype Veteran + Expose + Opportunist + Proton Rocket + Jan Ors = 8
Argh, no, expose works only on primary weapon attacks... **** it.
then, I guess 7 is the absolute barrier for now.
Edited by Jehan MenasisExcept Proton Rocket only adds a maximum of 3 extra red dice. The stealth device is pointless and adds nothing.
Stealth device is giving it the 3 dice for the proton rockets. I still reckon just buy another pack of dice.
Except Expose only works on primary weapon. So no point activating it when using the Proton Rocket.
Good point. It does seem like 7 is the magic cap.

Obviously, Stealth Device was there to counter the loss from Expose and still get +3 dice for Proton Rockets, but since I auto-remembered that expose didn't work on secondary weapons, yes, it is pointless.
Interesting tidbit... the A wing is tied with the X/YT/B/E for 6 dice primary...
Green w/ Opp + Expose
Jan
Shooting at R1.
Pretty sure that if you have to use Expose it doesn't count

Unless you have someone giving actions to you, you're only likely to get 3 hits, which is nice, but the same result you'd get using 4 dice with target lock or focus.
Now if you replace expose with predator and take focus for action, you get 5 dice, and will probably get at least 4 hits if not 5.
