Old Pilots with New Ships

By killerbeardhawk, in X-Wing

Keyan in an X would be terrifyingly fun.

Is it EU canon?

See, if X-wings need an Aces pack at some point, I'd actually quite like if they sprinkled in the veteran pilots from elsewhere instead of making yet more pilots - and Corran is lethal no matter the hull he flies in. :)

Keyan is the player character in the X-Wing video game.

As such, you fly X-Wings, A-Wings, B-Wings and the Y-Wing.

Let's see what I can remember...

I want to say Airen Cracken flew A wings

He may have but I do know his son Pash Cracken flew X's with the Rogues for a time in between stints as a commander of an A-Wing Squadron, so you may be thinking of Pash.

but Tie-D Wedge sounds even more fantastic

And his wingman, Tie-D Bowl.

Still waiting for Rookie 1 in a Y-wing, X-wing, and TIE Phantom, with Ru Murleen crew card.

Pilots I'd like to see in an X-wing: Keyan Farlander (Fun with Astromechs), Tycho (Stressbot supreme? Possibly overdoing Hobbie, but that's almost inevitable these days), Corran (Double-taps are scary no matter the hull), possibly Jake (For the ultimate in mobility X-wings... especially with BB-8 :wub:, eh? )

Any of these too powerful? Possibly, possibly. Jake certainly deserves a close eye.

IT'S A STRIKE!

Would be big kudos to FFG if they do the Green stripe repaint if/when they give Corran his X. Double if they make "Whistler" a card too =)

To be honest, Whistler might well be how you make Corran's existing ability work in an X-wing. Make him similar to (but not identical to) a fire control system. That also then gives the E-wing version an option, by giving up R2-D2, and moving his double-tap support into the astromech slot, to take advanced sensors or sensor jammer.

Kir Kanos would love to fly a Tie/x7.

Didn't Turd Furgusson fly a Defender?

Let's see what I can remember...

Wedge, Tycho, Corran all flew (and were extensively trained in) Defenders

Wedge, and iirc Hobbie flew TIE fighters and Interceptors

Tycho and Corran are best known for their time in the X wing

But Wedge Tycho and Luke all flew at one point E wings

Wedge Tycho and Corran also flew in Z95s

Keyan is the sole Y wing survivor of Endor

Ibistam flew in an X wing (even though she hated it)

I want to say Airen Cracken flew A wings

Han and Chewy obviously flew the Shuttle

Hera flew the (prototype) Blade wing

Sabine, Zeb, and Ezra flew a TIE fighter

Correct on all except it was Wedge and Janson, not Hobbie.

I think Farlander and Tycho are fine. I know they flew other ships more often, but the ships they are in currently are more what people remember. Whereas Corran/Maarek were put into a different ship originally, not the one they were known for. I was glad Maarek was getting his signature ship after all. I just hope they follow suit with Corran.

Uhh, no. Maybe Keyan is remembered as flying a B-wing, but Tycho only flew an A-wing once. He didn't even want to, but they needed pilots with the reflexes and qualifications to fly an A-wing, and he was one of the few available, so he volunteered. His ship of choice was the X-wing.

Anyone willing to write a book about Kir Kanos and Tetran Cowall flying TIE/x7s? ;)

The last time we saw Tetran, he was pretty much dying from his wounds after being shot down by Wedge. Unlikely that he ever flew a Defender.

Yes, but I'm sure they patched him up and stuck him in black armour with built in life support.

Bah... I had Wes in there at first, and then I didn't think it sounded right. I was thinking that Wes was leading Rogue Squadron while Wedge formed Wraith... So I changed it to Hobbie =P.

Wedge in a Tie? That happened.

Lol, how funny would Biggs be in a Tie Fighter? bwa!

The Royal Guard Pilots in red Defenders! Absolutely this!

I'm told Legends Luke flew in an E-wing for a time. Kind of expect to see that happen in the game at some point. For Rebel veterans it's between Y-wing, Z-95, E-wing, and the T-65 for my guess. Problem is, they are all doing well right now, or have already gotten 'fix' or expanded content. So among them I still think it will be Y-wing and E-wing but who knows.

Tycho also flew in a tie fighter (trained at the imperial academy and all that), they talk about it in Krytos Trap, it was one of the reasons Rebel Intelligence didnt trust him, Tycho also flew a lambda in Rogue Squadron

And I think in Wraith Squadron there's a brief mention that Wes flew in a Y-Wing before Yavin

Well, he did, but he never liked it and went back to an X-Wing as soon as possible.He also didn't like the astromech that came with it iirc.

Wes in a Y-wing in the age of TLTs would be terrifying. "Make Soontir run out of tokens in a single pass" terrifying. With Predator or VI to boot!

... I almost want to see it. :P

True true. But to be fair, Tycho's attack value in the shuttle would be 0. If we're talking about the academy, didn't Biggs and Gavin attend the academy as well?

We need a Stele Chronicles expansion that puts Maarek in a Fighter, Bomber, Interceptor and Avenger.

And also comes with a Stele only Emperor's Reach EPT.

You fly all those, and more, in the game where he originates, what more do you need? :P.

Yes, that includes the Missile Boat and the Gunboat. <_<

For this game to be that game.

I just want a T65 Legends Title for 3 pts that gives named T65 Xwing pilots a boost and added shield. Then I can use the ships I have.

This, this is perfect.

What about old ships with new pilots?

What about Rey as a new pilot for the falcon with a new gunner ability for Fin * Fin can remove auto thrusters ability on ships when attacking :)
