In the last FAQs for SW-LCG, the cards "Black Squadron Pilot" (0017 from the Core Set), "Wedge Antilles" (0183 from the Hoth Cycle) and "Luke Skywalker" (0301 from the Hoth Cycle) has been corrected to adapt his habilities to the new Pilot rules. But those cards don´t have the Pilot keyword, so a vehicle with one of those cards attached can not be considered "Piloted", and you can attach a pilot cards to vehicles with those cards.

Is this correct?

To be piloted, a vehicle must have an enhancement with the Pilot trait. The three cards listed all have the Pilot trait, so they will make the vehicle piloted.

Yes, correct. Thanks (AGAIN ;D ) dbmeboy.

By the way, i like your avatar.

isn't the keyword basically an alternative 'casting cost'? "pay x to play it with this ability", pay the normal cost to play as a unit without the ability?

the trait PILOT is what matters.

they took the wording from the hoth luke (reduce by 2 to play as enhancement) and made it into a word.

Basically, but with some subtle differences that almost never matter.

To elaborate, Wedge Antilles and Luke Skywalker (Escape from Hoth) can only enhance a Speeder or a Fighter unit you control when played as an enhancement through their own abilities. Black Squadron Pilot can only enhance a Fighter you control through its own ability. A unit with the Pilot keyword may be played as an enhancement on any friendly Vehicle unit.

So while you could play Derek "Hobbie" Klivian from your hand as an enhancement on Home One, you couldn't play Wedge as an enhancement on Home One. Even if you were to use the Fate card Stay on Target to attach Wedge to Home One as an enhancement, because Home One is neither a Speeder nor a Fighter unit, you would not be able to transfer a focus token from Home One to Wedge through Wedge's ability. (However, Home One would be treated as piloted for cards that care about that.)

this makes sense, as DBMEboy cleared up for me...

SOT allows you to put a pilot on anything, however, you still need to meet the criteria of the card text to gain the benefit, so you could SOT luke onto a fighter and get the text, put him on a cap ship and you would not.

This pilot thing is almost like the 'Evoke' mechanic from Magic.
