You guys have my vote for "Highroller".

Omega Ace: Hitman (he's an assassin who murders you if he gets a chance to prepare)

Epsilon Leader: Nerfherder (the equivalent of sheepherder, he wrangles TIE/fos and keeps them calm)

Zeta Ace: Swoop (after the racing speeder bikes)

Epsilon Ace: The Kid (he's young, he's cocky, and he falls apart under fire)

Omega Leader: Suppressor (when he's got you locked he keeps you too busy to focus, evade, or even pay attention to your own targeting computer)

I like everything but "The Kid", I just have a general dislike for that as a nickname for anybody ever. The others are awesome though.

I was going for an Old West kind of thing with him. The Jakku Kid perhaps? Add a place name to it (Loredo Kid, Montana Kid, etc.).

I wanted to do something referencing the line "great shot, kid; don't get cocky" from Episode IV, since he seems to embody getting cocky.

Forget my original suggestion for Omega Leader. He needs a new name: Duelist. Seriously, he's one of the best 1v1 ships out there. Suppressor would be more in line for a someone like Carnor Jax.

Omega Leader = Dr. No.

As in you want to modify dice? No.

In another thread, i don't actually remember which one, the new nickname for Omega Leader which appears to get widely adopted, was "el presidente"!

And i definitley like it most for him. He **** you from behind if not focussed early. Unchallenged ace killer.

Dee from Mynock checking in:

I like a lot of Levi Porphyrogenitus' suggestions, and "Dr. No" and "El Presidente" are hilarious, but we're also trying to think of callsigns that are thematic, that Lucasfilm/FFG might actually produce:

This is what Mynock is advocating:

Zeta Leader - Highroller

Omega Leader - Lockdown
