I have a theoretical issue and do not know the answer.

Is Biggs+R2F2+Experimental Interface ever worth it?

What if paired with Garvin Dreis or Airen Cracken?

Something like

X-WING: · Biggs Darklighter (25)

· R2-F2 (3)

· Experimental Interface (3)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: · Airen Cracken (19)

Cluster Missiles (4)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Homing Missiles (5)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

Homing Missiles (5)

Z-95 HEADHUNTER: Bandit Squadron Pilot (12)

True, true. Wish it wasn't so.

If you use Biggs w/ R2F2 and EI then I assume you're using Focus as his action. Cracken isn't going to be much help here if EI is getting used; Biggs could be stressed so no action from Cracken and if you're already using his action to Focus and the trigger R2F2 with EI that just means the only action Cracken is likely to give is a TL.

Although I don't think it would be "worth it" you could go with Biggs set up that way getting passed Focus tokens from Garven or maybe Kyle. In this situation you'd almost want Jan as crew somewhere to get Biggs and Evade token but the thing is it probably isn't worth it.

R4-D6

The best thing I've seen him do is allow a Y-wing to survive an Opportunist-boosted Advanced Proton Torpedo . Needless to say, said Y-wing wasn't doing any hard maneuvers or actions for the rest of the game, but after shunting four damage into the aether in one go, who cares?

I'd hesitate to give him Experimental Interface - the same effect can be duplicated by people like Airen Cracken, or Garven Dreis, but without attaching points to the guy with the "kick me" sign on the back of his x-wing. If you must spend more points on him, a hull upgrade might be a better buy.

I'm actually curious how r4-d6 and the new twin laser turret will work on your humble gold or horton salm

probably very well :)

It's a shame that crits can't be used to trigger R4-D6. He'd be a lot more useful then.
