Thoughts on this as a list? I've always loved Jan and trying to get the most out of her. I also love Ten but monuverablity of b wings is a kin to that of a mac truck.

With hera it opens a lot of piloting possibilities for ten and if he gets it the double stress can be taken care of with kanan if nessecary but Jan will use that ability most often. Making nearly her whole dial pretty much "green" means that she is way more unpredictable and has another support ability for her friends whilst still doing dmg with a wired tlt.

The x wing is 25pt filler. Can be anything else but is still pretty decent with 3 attack, effectively 7 hp and a mostly green dial.

Looking forward to thoughts. Also comments on the new crew cards and how they afftect these older pilots would be appreciated.

I do wonder if the following a wing would be better than the x wing above.

Colour me intrigued. I think with the influx of Wave 8 crew cards, a whole new set of possibilities open up for older pilots.

Not sure how this will peform though. I guess it depends on how the meta will change, but my feeling is that it's all about Ten. He's your consistent damage output, but he will go down to focussed firepower quickly enough, and then all the support in the world makes no odds. I think it can work well though. Just a matter of flying well and prioritising targets to keep Ten alive.

With Hera and FCS Ten's fairly immune to stresshog I suppose, which always helps.

Yea I'm intrigued too. I think there is going to be a lot of life breathed into the old pilots. I really think these crew change the game a lot (hopefully towards more skilled piloting and less turret spam).

If I remove wired off Jan I can fit my own stress hog. Would this be considered a bigger threat than the x or a wing?

Looking for something to look threatening enough to draw fire, force them to draw fire or control them so that they can't fire as much on ten and to provide some back up punch if he does die.

Also this begs the question. Is ten just not good enough is keyan strictly better or are b wings just dead in the meta right now?

The y wing will draw more fire. I haven't fully explored the new interactions yet but I think multiple B aces is worth exploring..

For example maybe Ten + ion cannon + ezra = guaranteed ionized. This could fit well with a stress eater keyan + SoT + hera for permanent dice mods.. as opposed to jan ors that is [although I know you want to include her].

Why not just use the calculation ept for the same affect?

Don't worry about me man I'll fit Jan in somewhere. At this point I'm more interested in commentary on the pilots and the new cards.

Re the ion ten. He'd need to be able to stress himself which I suppose isn't that hard with a b wing. Either way I don't know if it'd be worth it over the ten I listed earlier as its similar points anyway.

Also is it better to drop VI on ten to make him the same ps as Jan so she can strip tokens off the target first. It makes it harder to fire at sontir which is a big part of having ten.

I think you need Ten to be PS10 to be honest. I don't think either Ten or Keyan are better than the other, they serve different roles. Overall I think Ten is more useful which arguably makes him "better", but I think mainly that's because I've used him more.

Ten's ability is useful all the time, whereas Keyan's is situational, basically.

This makes me happy as I feel ten gets ragged on a lot. Yes he gets expensive but I feel like he does work if flown right. He was in the 25th place list at world which means he must be fairly useful right?

Here's something fun I cooked up. Not too many points on upgrades for any of them but I think it's pretty threatening synergy.

Wes and ten at ps 10. Wes fires first to strip tokens. Ten can still mangler cannon, and then Keyan takes stress for opportunist and then uses that stress as a focus for his attack. He should get to roll 4 or 5 dice regularly with target lock and focus. The droid on Wes is my preference to try to keep him alive longer if he gets targeted first to break the synergy. This way, HLC and heavy dice attacks can't punish him that badly and we don't care if he's stressed, he just needs to shoot at stuff and strip tokens - not take actions anyway. I might try this soon since I love b-wings.
