I'm curious as to what other people think is the EPT designed to work with pilots abilities.

Some are obvious/ well known such as

Soontir Fell - Push the Limit (Hon Tycho Celchu)

Keyan Farlander - Stay on Target (Hon Tetran Cowall)

N'Dru Shulak - Lone Wolf

Rear Admiral Chiraneau - Expose

What would be others?

Some more that I can think off

Nera Dantels - Dead Eye

Corrin Horn - Marksmen

One I found today

Maarek Stele - Calculating

Echo and Whisper: Veteran Instincts

Lone Wolf and Luke

That has less to do with Whisper and Echo's Pilot Ability and more to do the the Modification: Advanced Cloaking Device.

I would say that in terms of Pilot Ability Turr Phennir has rights to Veteran Instincts

Palob Godalhi --> Opportunist

Veteran Instincts -> Anything PS 8+

I would argue Chiraneau is better with Predator. Allows him to have a soft focus and TL from range 1-2 no matter what.

Brath - Predator as well.

Leebo - Determination

Keyan Farlander I thought would like Oppurtunist more.

Wedge Antilles - Predator

VI was Han Solo's thing before Predator came along.

Predator or VI makes nearly anyone better however I will submit

Corran Horn+Predator- TIE swarm killer

Tycho Celchu+Daredevil- Pretty much the only pilot who can get any use out of this

I can think of other cards that seem to go together, but not EPTs.

Lando -Nien Nunb

Ten Numb - Autoblaster

Cracken - Cluster Missiles

Falcon - C3PO

Oh, here's an EPT one - Leebo + Determination. And you could argue Rexler Brath + Predator. Or Oicunn + Intimidation, or Arvel + Intimidation.

Edit: And I'm slow.

Oicunn is fun with Engine Upgrade + Daredevil.

Opportunist sounds quite effective on ol' Godahli. I was also thinking about giving him Bodyguard. Using an enemy's Focus token to raise an ally's agility?

These also seem like great matchups to me:

Kath Scumlet and Outmaneuver

Arvel Crynyd and Intimidation

Ten Numb and Calculation

Lieutenant Lorri- Oh wait...

Tarn + R7

Blount + deadeye

Katarn + moldy crow

Luke + R2-D2

Vader + Engine upgrade

Boba (scum) + dead man's switch

Lone Wolf and Luke

Can you explain the synergy

Palob Godalhi --> Opportunist

Strip tokens, bonus versus target without tokens. Thats the kind of thing I was looking for.

Veteran Instincts -> Anything PS 8+

High PS is not the pilot ability I was referring to

I would argue Chiraneau is better with Predator. Allows him to have a soft focus and TL from range 1-2 no matter what.

Brath - Predator as well.

Leebo - Determination

Like it

Keyan Farlander I thought would like Oppurtunist more.

Wedge Antilles - Predator

How would Farlander get his Stress?

From Opportunist, naturally.

Forgot it caused Stress, but you have to strip the tokens of the target first

Keyan would not really prefer opprotunist

Opportunist gives him an extra die but is expensive and situational

SoT with sensors turns him into a rebel phantom (esp with int agent), which opens up several new dimensions of usability (and even support for the rest of your squadron, assuming they can abuse IA)

Also fairly certain he's the only pilot who can abuse it every turn (a wingman helping out does not count). Other pilots that benefit from stress (ibs) can only use it every other turn.

Biggs + Draw Their Fire !!!

(Oh how I hate Biggs)

Biggs + Draw Their Fire !!!

(Oh how I hate Biggs)

seems redundant

you'd probably want DTF on something else (like chewbacca) to make the most infuriating squad possible

Imperial Kath + Calculation

Turr Phennir - VI, only Interceptor that does. Pushes him to PS 9 and he still usually gets his two actions.

Leeachos - Bodyguard. Really the only pilot I've found that it makes sense on. Still 17 points for a Z-95 that doesn't do much offensively.

Mandal Merc - Expert Handling. Now the cheapest way to get a FS barrel rolling. Previous was on Kath. It was better before the large ship BR nerf, but still pretty decent.

Cracken - Squad Leader. Makes him the ultimate action passer.

Leeachos - Bodyguard. Really the only pilot I've found that it makes sense on. Still 17 points for a Z-95 that doesn't do much offensively.

Imo, palob does it better (doesn't waste your own squad's resources)

Interesting enough, he's also the only pilot that can guarantee his own Opportunist

Leeachos - Bodyguard. Really the only pilot I've found that it makes sense on. Still 17 points for a Z-95 that doesn't do much offensively.

It actually makes more sense on Guri, as she's 1PS lower and can thus use Bodyguard on Laetin, IGs, etc.

Wedge+Outmaneuver. It can be slightly tricky to utilise (best with EU or something), but being able to fire at 0 Phantoms is SO satisfying.

Leechy and Guri are both 5s

Imo, Guri's a horrible bodyguard. She's 30 points of ship with a powerful ability that she shouldn't be wasting giving someone else a green die. all it does is make her a very appealing target.

Well, imo bodyguard in general is a terrible EPT (guess why) with very situational usefulness. Focus is such an important resource in this game that I'm loathe to exchange it for the least reliable one

Now Palob (also ps 5) should have a hoard of focus (his ability, recon officer, moldy crow) to the point that he gives 0 **** about giving one or two away, so bodyguard isn't horrible there. the PS 5 Scyk might also be okay with it, if only to make Serissu less appealing to shoot at.
