If there were an Aces pack for your favorite ship, who would you expect as a new pilot?

Leia as a pilot could be pretty fun.

Could even be the mystical Rebel Y-Wing with an EPT...

Grizz Frix, because

.

Juno Eclipse, all day, every day. Probably on some TIE variant, since the only imperial female representation we have so far is Howlrunner. Unless, of course, FFG chooses to grace us with the Rogue Shadow in the near future...

Juno's all-but-confirmed for one of the new Advanced pilots.

I wonder if they will add in any more naturally PS9 pilots. I do enjoy the aces of aces like Wedge and Soontir but then again that might have negative effects on the meta.

I honestly can't think of a single other character who would deserve that PS, AND be well-known enough.

I though Juno Eclipse might be but it looks like she is 8

She's shown to be a **** good pilot, sure, but 9s are legendary, not **** good

I suppose that's good to know.

Kyp Durron?

Kyp Durron?

Possibly, but only by virtue of his crazy force powers

Mara Jade maybe

Kyp Durron?

HAH

Maybe if we get the Sun Crusher....

HAH

I'm expecting the next Aces to be

Rebels: X-Wing / E-Wing

Possible release Q1 2016

Named Pilots coming from EP.7

Additional hopefuls for Corran and Tycho in X's.

Scum Aces: M3-A / Starviper

Release Q4 2015, Q1 or Q2 2016

Pilot sources unknown.

Imperial Aces: TIE Bomber / TIE Defender

Release Q4 2015, Q1 or Q2 2016

Pilot sources unknown.

She's a Skywalker... she'd have an EPT and a PS of no less than 7. As an ability I was thinking something derived from her crew card: " at the beginning of the activation phase one ship within range 1-3 can treat red maneuvers as white maneuvers."

Oooooooo :)

Do I see another thread for my favorite request to FFG? ;)

An Aces pack please for an X-wing!

One in Corsec Green with a white strip and one in Wraith Squadron colours or at least the stripe in purple/black

Pilots:

PS 8 Corran Horn

PS 7 Voort ´Piggy´ saBinring, with EPT

PS 6 Garin ´Face´ Loran, with EPT

PS 3 Dia Passik

4x PS 6 Rogue Squadron Pilot with EPT

4x PS 5 Wraith Squadron Pilot

2x PS 4 Red Squadron Pilot

2x PS Rookie Pilot

Astromechs:

1x Whistler

1x R5-G8 ´Gate´

4x R2 Astromech

4x R5 Astromech

4x R6 Astromech, cost: 4, effect: add the Barrell-Roll action to your action-bar (making it 1 point more expensive than the Expert Handling, R2 astromech combination)

Special abilities and pointcost of all other I give to FFG to calculate and balance ;)

Somewhere within FFG someone must have read by now I really would like a Corsec Green X-wing :wub:

You're not thinking big enough. Try a Most Wanted-scale pack JUST for the X-wing. 1-2 models, and at least 8 named pilots.

Also ought to include Rogue/Wraith pilots who flew things other than X-wings, since Most Wanted set precedent for pilot cards without ships.

Oooooooo :)

How is Ooryl not on that list? Also Tycho and Gavin.

Edited by GreatMazinkaiser

No real point in including Rookie/Red pilots, there's plenty of those from other sources.

Assuming MW-level of pilot cards, there could be about 20 total.

Generic Wraith pilots are kind of anti-thematic, so 4x Rogue and 16 named?

Wedge (only if alt ability)

Tycho (alt ability?)

Corran

Jaina?

Piggy

Gavin

Ooryl

Face

Pash (also A-wing card)

Plourr Ilo

Asyr

Donos

Myri

and honestly I could go on but there are a LOT of viable choices for 16 pilots.

What about a "Runt" Ekwesh card in that Wraith expansion? You could roll dice to determine which ability he has that turn, to simulate him switching through his various personas.

Well yes, I want 2 X wings, but each painted differently. I do like to have the standard plus new generics. And I just couldn't remember all the named pilots, but feel free to add :-)

Same with the astromechs. But I refuse to buy more Y wings, just to have more generic r2's....

So they should be in the aces too.

Oooooooo :)

expert handling is only 2 points.

I have wanted a Rouge Squadron Pilot EPT upgrade high PS generic for the X-wing for a long time. I think the X-wing has started to fall out of use so soon might be the time.
