B-wing. It just so much fun to fly. Jake in the A-wing is great too, boosting and barrel rolling all over the place.
What is your favorite ship to fly?
YV-666, T-70 and A-wings.
My favorite combo is Boba and Bossk, however
You guys are really making me want to pick up a yv-666. Gotta see the full reveal of the newest scum ships first though. Ugh.
The E-Wing is my favorite ship by far. I just wish it didn't cost a billion points. 27 for a PS1 ! Who would give a PS1 pilot an E-Wing??
There's nothing quite like the feeling I get when I fly A-wings well.
Without doubt the best piloting of my life was when I took four to a local tournament - I didn't win, but I came pretty close, and it was such a good feeling to really show people what they're capable of.
In many ways they're the ultimate pilot's ship.
Has and always will be a Tie Interceptor. The only ship that really gets my heart rate up.
Not sure if A-wing or t70.
E-Wing or Starviper
Cheers
Baaa
If it's rebels, I'm flying Xs, HWKs, and the Outrider
If it's imperials, I'm flying Advanced, Decimator, Interceptor
If it's Scum, I'm flying Starvipers and Freisprays
I've a soft spot for the named Rebel Y-Wings, and the good ol' T-65.

Defender is love, Defender is life.
Easily A-Wings, it's hard for me to make a Rebel squad without them, Proto's, Greenies, Jake, and Tycho (Tycho is so much fun, unfortunately Jake usually takes his spot, mostly for PS).
Imps are a tough call, between FO, Bombers, and Interceptors (only recently got Bombers, and the FO still fairly new, so Interceptors for now).
Scum: Kihraxz.
A-wing, first ship I bought for X-wing (core set included).
Y-Wing has always been one of my favourites and once Scum come out I was hooked all over again! Kavil in particular.
YV-666 is massively underrated. Used properly it's a beast.
Tie Interceptor is a little overpowered but so much fun to fly.
Honourable mentions to Punisher, Kihraxz & Firespray.
What do you consider proper use of the YV-666? As cheap as possible? ~50 points of Bossk?
Properly was maybe the wrong word. "Used well within your gameplan" is probably better. As long as you plan around its limitations it's strong.
Personally I like 2 Slavers with Mangler, K4, Outlaw Tech, Gunner, Engine Upgrade & Feedback Array. Keep them close-ish together, overlapping arcs and don't be afraid to do a full stop and Feedback if people are behind you. Tricky to use but it's better than it sounds.
50 points of Bossk is great fun. Calculation, Mangler, Outlaw & K4. 45 points of awesome.
Here you can find my current "properly used" YV-666, is working very well for me.

I am a fan of the Starviper, and VG-666. The former preforms really sharply in a close dogfight while the latter with it's gigantic arc really preforms like a weighty truck; sure you can block it, but it will shove it's way through.
The Z-95 is surprisingly a favourate ship. As I exclusively play scum, it's wider arc of turning kind of allows it to preform with the starviper like a great net.
Y-wing... for flexibility
X-wing... for the pilots
TIE Interceptor... for sheer maneuverability and firepower
TIE Advanced... 'cuz of Vader
I like me some bombers.
YV-666. Bossk with Daredevil and EU to be specific.
Z-95s, Hound's Tooth, T-70s, Firesprays, and StarVipers, probably in that order.

Tripler Slavers with K4 and Damps for me. ![]()
Bombers and Awings
Firespray
A-Wings, always and forever.
