Okay, so Sabine as pilot... Her ability reads, "Immediately before you reveal a maneuver, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll action." I'm assuming with PTL, this would essentially work the same as the BB-8 combo... Get 3 actions with no stress if you reveal a green? It'd go something like this:

Before revealing the maneuver, Sabine boosts to the right w/ her ability.

Use PTL to assign an evade token. Assign stress from PTL.

Do your GREEN maneuver. Remove stress.

Do your normal one action to assign a focus.

3 actions. No stress. Am I missing something, or is this possible?

it can get better.

Put KYle Katarn on the ship. now you go..

Boost or BR

PTL + Action, we'll say Evade

Green move + Clear Stress + Focus from kyle

Other action, either focus or BR.

4 actions, no stress all fun.

.....

Well, there's that.

So who wants to make the thread complaining about it being OP? Volunteers?

4 HP ship for 27 points. Only 2 Agility dice and no autothrusters.

No sign of falling sky where I'm standing.

should be noted, also only PS 5

OH I WILL DECIDE when the sky is falling or not, thank you very much. AND IT IS DEFINITELY FALLING.

Joking aside, I think I might throw Targeting Computer on that build, too. Because, you know, Evade, focus, TL is pretty good.

Definitely not crazy, but even just Sabine + PTL for 24 points is worth a second look for that action economy!

Oh I agree. Like in the example I used, Maarek's ability really sucks without the ATC. So if you put him on any ship besides the Advanced and don't change his ability, he goes back to sucking.

Maarek in a Defender rocking a mangler cannon says "hi."

Could Hera pilot + Nien be worthwhile?

Gets you a lot of green dial options if it does...

Really excited for this one. Ezra (crew) on Farlander with Mangler Cannon and Opportunist for '***** and giggles' appeals to me. Get stressed; use Ezra's ability to turn one 'eyeball' to a crit, Keyan's to turn the rest into hits, and, the Mangler's ability to turn one hit into a second crit. Sure, it's very expensive, but it would hit hard.

^ and die so fast

Depends on what you're running him with. And how well you fly. (Not saying I do that; just that I don't buy the argument about B-Wings always dying quickly).

Only the expensive ones.

Fair enough.

I take it his ability does not work with hers then...

it should work, but for 2 more greens im not sure its worth.

His ability is good, yet he's free. I can't recall any other times we've seen such a strong 'free' upgrade, outside of maybe the TIE/x1 title, which was described quite clearly as a game rebalancing patch for the TIE Advanced.

So you would pay a point, and a Crew slot, for an ability that you might want to use, that does damage to you when you use it?

If so, congrats, you're in a very small minority. Consider yourself elite, if you like.

Oh I wasn't disagreeing with the idea, it works perfectly fine. I was just trying to post Nien Nunb looking surprised he's useful.

Navigator is better (switch to any bank or straight!), but at 3 points vs 1 Nien still is neat.

Nien as a copilot for Hera could be worth it if you misjudge and it turns out a blocker is sitting on all your regular greens. Perhaps when a swarm focused on the ghost unexpectedly and is suddenly in your face. Then you can switch to a 3 or 4 forward and fire with both your auxiliary arc and attached turret. Not a misjudgement that an experienced pilot really should make but nice for people just learning to fly such a ship.

Well, I am a complete novice, but I would have thought that being able to choose a 4 forward instead of a 1 forward (or vice Versa) is pretty significant. Could be the difference between bumping/not bumping, extending/closing range 1-3, moving in/out of arc etc.

Like I said, I am a novice and you are most likely right - but i might try it. Live and learn as they say!

Or die horribly I suppose...

Hera + Autoblaster Turret + Accuracy Corrector + Nien Numb + Zeb = MWAHAHAHAHAHA DIE, SOONTIR FEL

Sabine brings bombs to rebel epic ships !

Where to best put Sabine?

Sabine seems like she'll be grotesque on K-Wings in the best way. Conner Nets that can deal damage to swarms sounds rather brutal.

damage swarms nothing

use that **** to lop off 2/3rds a soontir!

then bring seismics for swarms

And ya, Hera and Sabine do look less feminine, but I kind of like that. If you are a ragtag rebel group, the women of the crew aren't going to be spending too much time slapping on make up and eyeliner.

Are you kidding? Sabine has a flat surface and paint. Obviously she's going to use it!

I wouldn't be surprised if she's done makeup for Zeb and Kaanan also. Chopper is too ornery to sit still that long.

but if I'm bringing Seismics, then I'm not using that slot for more Conner Nets.

Give me all the nets.

but if I'm bringing Seismics, then I'm not using that slot for more Conner Nets.

K-wing!
