Dengar is pilot skill 9? Really FFG considers Dengar a better pilot than Boba Fet?

Well we are talking about the same company who died in the first engagement as the other pilot skill 9? I honsetly think FFG should have done a little more research instead of taking bribes for the pilots who can pay for their ego.

It's called power creep.

Dengar is basically a podswoop-racer, and he's got the SW equivalent of Shadowrun's Adrenaline Pump+Wired Reflexes combo.

well Dengar's in a PWT instead of a firespray

so at least he's smarter than boba :P

His ship is shaped like a toilet seat, and he is really good at... well... You know. PS 9 good.

Dengar is a cybernetically-enhanced Corellian.

Boba Fett is a clone knock-off.

I mean...for real. If you want something disintegrated, get Dengar integrated!

Obviously. Dengar didn't fly straight into a giant hole in the ground...

well Dengar's in a PWT instead of a firespray

so at least he's smarter than boba :P

and for 45 points he is firepower 3!

Maybe Dengar was supose to be wearing a Turban, but then on the day of shooting the turban wrangler called out sick, so George was like "F**K it, wrap his head with this Ace bandage".

With fewer hull/shields than a 2400, though.

so you're saying PWTs are a laughing matter, now~?

These guys rank Dengar as the lamest of the bounty hunters who chased Han Solo:

This list is rubbish because it put IG-88, who controlled the Death Star II, in 6th place. Honestly, that should make him #1. #2 at the very least. Definitely the most powerful, and in the battle of Endor probably had more kills (from blowing up Rebel Frigates) than all of these other hunters had combined throughout their whole lives.

After looking at some other posts on that blog I've determined that it's retarded and not worth the time spent. Now to gargle Drano

Came here to say this.

To put it even simpler: Dengar is the Anti-Solo.

He got integrated Veteran Instincts.

The stat called Pilot Skill in this game is for timing purposes only. It does not and cannot accurately represent the abstract notion of piloting prowess.

If PS was meant to be an accurate measure of piloting prowess, that would mean that this game considers Tarn Mison (a unique character with rather useful special ability) to be less skilled than a bunch of nameless Red Squadron Pilots who have no such special ability.

PS is not piloting prowess. It is strictly a timing mechanic with a flavorful name.

More or less this. Dengar was a full time pilot to it might be sensible to have him be jacked up to be better then boba (who strikes me as a guy who's a real handiman, great at a lot of things, but not an ace at anything.)

Otherwise game reasons. I know it seems strange to have him compared to vader, wedge and all that, but scum isn't a coherent faction that got a lot of direct screen time in the trilogy and as a scum player I am thankful to have skilled pilots, I just wish they would stop giving us named pilots without medallions. Seriously guys, it's bad enough losing any inti draws and having a generally inferior pilots skill without potentially cool pilots being ruined by lacking customisation.

He's a cyborg rebuilt by the finest imperial doctors of course he's superior to a failed officer like solo.

He's also the only interesting thing in wave 8 for me so I look forward to learning more.

Eh, ALL the Punishing One pilots(even the PS3 generic) and 3/4 Mist Hunter pilots have EPTs, it's the Rebels missing out on this wave.

Nuh uh, man... It clearly says "Pilot Skill", that means he's at least as good a pilot as Soontir Fel who was one of, if not the best, Imperial pilot... L2Logic bruh...

/sarcasm

Dengar's an excellent pilot.

Boba you wouldn't want to take in a 1 on 1 fight, but he's not a piloting god. He's just Luke Skywalker good.

Surprised Hera is only 7.

Hera's not /that/ good. The Inquisitor, for all his retardedness as a character, is a better pilot, and he isn't Vader-tier.
