For those not able to see:

PS7, when not stressed treat T-Rolls as white.

30 points, EPT, Torp, Astro, Tech

honestly, not even close to impressed

for 1 point, Poe kicks his ass

cute gimmick, but it doesn't even work with the overpriced TA (which is incredibly baffling why they put it and Cool Hands in the same pack)

honestly thought he'd have Bren's ability for maximum synergy (and for actually being a contender for use over poe)

oh well, at least we get to do this:

All the drifts.

all of them.

I feel the T-70 still has the edge over the defender.

It's a close call though.

I'll take the challenge!

Talon roll boost seems pretty good.... I cant wait to see the (echolocation art simluator) of the positions this can lead to.... WTB Link to Echolocator!!!

Spoiler spoilers

with T-roll Barrel Roll and Boost you can end up essentially doing a Red 0 K turn.

I'd be curious to see where you can end up with a T-Roll plus boost. Sounds fun enough to try at least once. But yeah, an odd choice of cards to come with him.

It's a neat ability but I can't for the life of me find any really solid upgrade synergy. I think Ello with Lone Wolf is an okay flanker, having access to both Trolls like that is really nice, but I think we're waiting for a new Talent or Tech upgrade that's going to really break him open.

Wow!!!! So much fun I will have with this one!!! I'm overwhemed by all the sweet goodies just spoiled coming our way!!! Wow!!!

Talon Roll, then boost. And another ship that is not screwed by the stress tactic, it can still do a 180 turn.

PtL with a R2 unit should be interesting. Or VI to put it at PS9 if you're scared of the Aces.

EDIT: Forget about PtL, just remembered that he can't do his TR while stressed.

Query: How does this interact with Targeting astromech? Does it being treated as a white maneuver negate the auto target lock? I imagine it does.

The king of the Tokyo Drift!

Unfortunately, it does. No effect.

Yes, if you treat a maneuvre white, you don't execute the red version one.

Talon roll + boost is what many of us have dreamd of

for all those wondering who this guy is,

SPOILER ALERT:

Ello Atsy's real name is Sir Elmer Ashten


he is a lord from the far far away planet of Britania who was set adrift in space after a horrid mishap during his yearly space safari adventure

he crash landed on an occupied world deep within the heart of the conflict between the FO and Resistance

while his upbringing initially had him siding with the imperialistic FO, he soon abandoned them for Riff-raff after witnessing their deplorably barbaric methods of subjugation first hand (often by means of flamethrower)

thus, he joined the resistance, where his immeasurable skill at Space Polo let him pilot a T-70 as easily as drinking a spot of Earl Gray

While a capable pilot and loyal friend, his stiff upper-class sensibilities and silly accent has led to his squad mates teasing him relentlessly, generally by only addressing him in forced cockney accents.

In fact, his call sign, 'ELLO ASTY!, is a product of their friendly ridicule of his mannerisms

he is pictured here below:

Maybe Lightning Reflexes... VI/R7-T1 could be a nice option - if you land a good T-Roll you could follow up with a boost and Target Lock.

look at the art in my post using echo locator, click the t-70 talon roll and watch the fun bloom!

That looks fun.

Yeah, I just remembered and came back to edit my post.

Almost as good as the white 4k on the defender but a much higher pilot skill for the same price as a PS1 defender

I'm going to run this guy with Lightning Reflexes so I can turn around and then turn around again.

like a record, baby?

Oh my, consider this website bookmarked...

Don't feel bad. I only just figured it out and it's been a known name for months.
