If you could pick a new pilot. Who?

By Fuzzywookie, in X-Wing

If FFG bites the bullet to go as far as the Vong, then Fel's son is an obvious no brainer.

Poe's mom? She's a pretty good pilot in the recent Marvel comic.

Jagged Fel (and the clawcraft in general) are my biggest wants for x-wing. I actually have a clawcraft model from mel's miniatures I need to paint up, and a whole custom expansion put together for it (that I used for the reddit custom ship contest)

Yeah yeah, Mary Sue's.

Mary Sue's often tell you how bad they are but don't show it. Leia is the opposite. Well, and she's not afraid to say whatever the hell she wants. I agree that yes, too much of a good thing can get old, but I think girls really need a role model like Princess Leia right now.

Girls need to know that they can be an equal part of society and be strong independent people and they need these ideas instilled in them and enforced positively, from an early age. We help boys develop these ideas with plenty of hero fantasy and adventure. Girls deserve the same treatment. Princess Leia is the perfect tool for that, and if you're willing to take an honest look at the girl who played her and the woman she has become, you'll see that Carrie Fisher is a noble embodiment of that ideal as well. She is a very gracious woman at heart, though you wouldn't know it at first glance! Haha! Bit of a rough talker that Carrie...

I think Rey is a great part of this too! She's awesome as a role model even for guys!

Yes, Girls need capable and realistic people to look up to but Rey is a terrible role model: everything she does she is automatically good at (thanks plot powers). Fixing stuff, hitting people with a needlessly large metal rod, carrying said metal rod around pointlessly, using ridiculous force powers, lightsaber dueling, flying ships. There's no struggle, no yearning to get better. IF you're not automatically good at something, why try to get better? Rey doesn't have to! She just IS proficient. Compare that to Furiosa from Mad Max, who has legitimate reasons to further the oppression of the world she lives in since her life is somewhat better than most but chooses to do the right thing, help those in need, and potentially create along term solution. Max beats her up and steals her ride. After reaching the one place that gave her hope, it turns out to be a sham. SHE'S GOT A KICKASS ROBOT ARM.

Sorry, I'm ranting now but I really dislike Rey as a character.

Isn't that inspiration for girls to become self-taught and competent at a multitude of things? Some of which wouldn't be traditionally considered feminine, but might be useful nonetheless?

Your post is full of foolishness, though. A struggling/failing character can be inspiring but it's not mandatory. Nobody would bat an eye at a kid who idolized Master Chief or Hercules or Aragorn.

This thread is going to get locked.

Some pilots I'd like to see from the old Rogue Squadron game: General Rieekan in a Y-wing ("Ha! Like shooting Y-wings, do you? Here's a little message from Gold Squadron!" *repeatedly ions*), Kasan Moor in an Interceptor, Moff Seerdon in a Lambda shuttle.

I would be so excited if they released Jag in a clawcraft. Especially if paired with Jaina in a StealthX.

Paul Heaver. The only ps10 pilot in the game.

Paul heaver... Z95 headhunter

Ps 10. No ept

21 pts.

When you perform a focus action you may perform a free target lock. Your action bar gains the barrel roll icon.

I want Tycho as a pilot in a Lambda Shuttle with no guns.

I'd really like to see Kenix Kil continue the trend of the Imperial Pilots ending up better when they show up as Scum versions.

Nice!

"Forbidden"

Title Lambda Shuttle Only

Reduce your primary and secondary weapon values to 0.

Friendly ships may use your target locks as though they were their own.

You may maintain target locks on two ships and have two target locks for each ship.

Tryst Valentine - Skipray Blastboat - Some sort of advantage (disadvantage) against female pilots.

Nice to see a fellow Campaigner.

Pilots we haven't seen yet?

Anyone from Wraith Squadron. (Specifically Garik "Face" Loran, Voort "Piggy" SaBinring, or Hohass "Runt" Ekwesh) Others would be great too.

Cheriss ke Hanadi

Ooryl Qyrgg

Pash Cracken

Bror Jace

Erisi Dlarit

Mirax Terrik in the Pulsar Skate

Kasan Moor


For fun flavor, the Wraiths posing as the HawkBats pirate group might make a fun array of Scum pilots. (Gen. Kargin, Capt. Seku, Lt. Kettch, etc, all actually undercover Rebel pilots)


TR-8R (TIE/FO)

At the start of the game choose one enemy ship.
when attacking the chosen ship gain +1 attack dice
when defending against that ship gain +1 defense dice

I like it. It's thematic and a decent ability too...

Yes! I have thought about trying to fly a mixed squad of X-wings and Interceptors and call them the Wraiths, but I just started playing, so I haven't gotten it together yet.

So many great options.

I understand why FFG might not want to add more cross-faction ships officially, but DANG do those Wraith stories create some cool-sounding lists.

I see Lt. Kettch as PS8 (Should be PS9, but Wedge is flying with a stuffed ewok on his lap, so I imagine that's awkward and complicates things)

Not sure if he should just have Wedge's X-wing pilot ability, or something altogether different.
