The rookie Xwing, especially when flying wing to wing with someone using squad tactics.

I don't see a lot of Boba

I don't see a lot of Boba

If anything I think Boba is OVER rated. His ability is lame. But people take him pretty often because he is a PS 8 Firespray, which isn't anything to shake a stick at, or because Boba Fett is a cool guy.

I will admit, I took Luke, Vader, and Han Solo the first time because they were cool from the movies, but after that I take them because they are good in the game. But I still take Boba from time to time because he is Boba and not because he is very good.

I really like Maarek Stele. With the new super elite talents I think he is great. I enjoy running him with opportunist for more chances at crits.

Roark w/ Ion, people always battle my blues but Roark is really the key to my list. PS12 means I've killed many a whisper/echo before they could cloak. Ion turret is always helpful yet somehow constantly overlooked in my list and proves to be the backbone of my winning list.

31 points though: that's Fel PTL territory.

People see his name and his ability, see he can't take PTL and he is almost instantly bumped down to last priority to kill you you can certainly be more bold with him and try to fire at harder targets. If you have Soontir Fel at R3 with an evade and focus up or Wrath at r1 people are probably more likely to try shooting at Fel and that gives Wrath a nice "free" shot With more high PS pilots being used he is becoming more attractive as a naked interceptor

But he's got identical cost and pilot skill to Lorrir...

I'm going to go with Techo. His ability is really good and with a lot of the newer stress additions I'm surprised I haven't seen him played much in my local area.

I'm sure he must get used more when rebel aces hit.

Chardaan refit will help bring more A-wings to the table, Proton Rockets too.

Roark is probably the best Phantom counter out there. Shooting a Phantom before it can re-cloak, usually means a phantom won't last long. Only problem with the HWK is it dies fast. Its slightly less durable than an X-wing.

Captain Yorr.

But if you already have Lorrir you can't take him twice

I had Lorrir, Tetran Cowall, Fel +PTL and 23 points left over for a 4th Interceptor and figured I would rather have Fel's Wrath over a plain Royal Guard

Horton Salm. He has a great ability, I would go as far as to say it's one of the best in the game. He's just not in the right ship, people don't want to spend that many points on a Y-wing right now. If pretty much any other decently popular ship had a PS8 pilot that innately rerolled blank results on every attack they would see play constantly.

Horton is the reason R2-D6 exists. Love him with PTL and proton torps. Good for standard. Amazing in epic. TL and focus your ion turret. Tough to kill before he gets his ordinance off too.

I'm going to second or third Horton.

If he had EPT built in he'd be played a lot more.
I also like him with Flechette Torps.

Lando. Love that guy. He hands out actions like a boss. Great with lower PS pilots.

It's just that he's in a ship where the other two unique pilots are even better, especially in the end game.

I really do like Yorr a lot, especially with PtL Interceptors. Kir Kanos though, he just desperately needs PtL to work and I really wish they had a title like in the Rebel Aces for the Imperials to let him get it.... Lorrir too. He's a lot of fun but the ability to get PtL makes other choices better for the points.

It's gonna have to be Tycho, or Horton (oh the irony). Tycho has an amazing ability that just says NOPE to flechettes. He is unpredictable; You can do a k-turn and then perform a white maneuver. He's basicly as close as the Rebs get to a Phantom. Horton's ability is super good, ensure those ion shots get in more often, make sure your ordinance is worth the cost.

Personally I think Tycho + CR + PtL + Pred + A-TP is gonna be killer.

Gotta say Horton Slam as well. Just got the Y-wing expansion and thought, heck he is a bit expensive. But with a couple Proton Torpedoes (and r2-d6+PTL or Veteran Instincts) this guy can deal with Whisper.

I see dead topics

I'm not so sure. Horton with a natural EPT (and thus keeping his astromech slot) would be great, Horton in a game with decent ordnance would be great.

I have to agree with the night beast crowd. He is awesome when pulling greens. It used to be Maarek but with Tie x1 he will not be a stranger anymore.

Fel's Wrath

with Autothrusters

.... haaa haaaa

delta squadron defender

Green Squadron A Wing. Two EPT for like twenty points.

Night Beast is really nice if you don't plan on having to deal with stress on him. Night Beast + Dark Curse make for a pair of hard to kill TIEs.

Fel's Wrath

with Autothrusters

.... haaa haaaa

Underrated, not flat out shite lol. I can't see any reason to take Fel's wrath over an RGP (1 point cheaper, EPT, higher PS).

Porkins.

Horton is up there.
