so I made a thread asking what people thought is the best small base ship/pilot and that got me thinking about things and I realised: would biggs in a tie phantom be the most OP thing ever? I mean if he stays cloaked always he has 4 agility and idk if this would make sense but stealth device would make it 5 and while you could have an unlucky roll it seems to me that he could do quite well like that. thoughts?

Everything about the way i play this game screams NOOOOOOOOO

unless it was a scenario of bigs escaping wiht a stolen phantom.

I hate 'same faction' battles as they have no 'star wars' narrative (training exercise works once), cross faction pilot and ship just to min max defence feels utterly wrong. Why not have lando as crew and you've the chance of an extra two evade then?

But you know biggs is *dead* by the time lando turns up and while i obviously have to turn a blind eye to 'dead pilot match ups' i think dead pilot in ship not designed when hes alive is a bit too wierd

well technically im pretty sure biggs was with the empire first >.>

He would be in a Tie Fighter then, and trust me you do NOT want a Tie Fighter with Biggs Darklighter's pilot ability.

Gadge, you realize he's just curious as to how broken it would be, right?

I'm not sure how strong Phantom Biggs would actually be, myself. Obviously five green dice is pretty crazy but Phantoms are always pretty expensive and at PS5 he can't reliably Decloak, shoot, and ACD his way to safety. Constant Decloaking also makes it harder to keep him near the ships he wants to protect.

Biggs in a shuttle, however...

Every phantom is already Biggs as far as target priority.

Pilot Vader in a Phantom.

Why not Wedge in a Phantom?

Or Luke. Or Corran Horn

Or Tycho Celchu in a tie defender.

Really, shows you how pilots are designed almost exclusively for one ship.

I find a naked sigma is a good imperial biggs for the same points. 4 attack dice is very frightening to people, and with only 4 hit points at 2 agility and PS3 makes him a very tempting target. Means another ship like Soontir for example, more likely to be ignored for the early start of combat.
