Mynock's re-naming the F/O pilots

By Brockart, in X-Wing

Great effort from the community...these names are awesome.

Looking at Epsilon Ace...seems like the call-sign should be "Joker".

For Zeta Ace, I like "Slip".

Zeta Ace is Star Fox to me.

Zeta Ace

I can roll with Sideslip (although I still like Wipeout/Wideout)

Epsilon Ace

Pretender?

Blue Ace

I keep wondering if we will see Nien Numb or Snap Wexley as pilots cuz "Snap" isn't a bad choice here. "Sharp"?

For you mineral nerds "Talc" would be hilarious.

Red Ace

I'm all in with Paladin. Shield related. Reminds me of John Rhys-Davies from Wing Commander.

Epsilon Ace

Pretender?

I like what you're onto here. Others in the same vein:

Charlatan

Con-man

Mountebank

Two-face

For rolly poly, I would name him Trickster

Epsilon Ace should be Boxcars. Two sixes on two dice is twelve. His PS is 12.

Beat me to it by twelve minutes.

Just updated the names with the most recent renditions. Also added in what's set and not set. And added in Epsilon Ace.

What do you think of "Traitor" for Epsilon Ace? Sure, he's a 12 when you start, but the minute he takes a damage, he shrinks away...

Edited for double post.

I was thinking Ironhide for red ace however, Paladin works really well. For blue ace I was thinking Sideburn but I have been calling him Blace.

Zeta Ace is Jitterbug

That's a winner.

Zeta Leader - High Roller

Set.

Why!?!?!

This one makes no sense, his ability doesn't do anything to ensure you roll well on your dice. It's completely counter-intuitive.

Because "Big Roller" isn't a thing?

Because he's gambling. You take the stress for a chance at more damage.

Not really being a traitor, Blowhard is more appropriate

I'm surprised no one suggested Decoy for Epsilon Ace. His ability reminds me of that EPT. The other name that comes to mind is glassjaw.

I like "Sideswipe" for Blue Ace. Just when you think you're out of arc, he whips around and nails you with hot laser fire. I love all of the others, except for Zeta Leader. To stick with the gambling theme, you could call him "Shark" or "Sharp", but that's more cards than dice.

EDIT: Just realized just how much "Sideswipe" sounds like "Sideslip". Maybe since he's so slippery we could call him "Mamba" or something?

well all very nice ideas and i like your effort on this task but what happened to the all so popular "el presidente"?

el presidente was pure instinct on my part; no real link to what the pilot does (apart from being a boss)

Epsilon Leader should just be Wingman

He was impeached.

I thought of sideswipe too, but in my mind that fits Ello Asty better. What about Whiplash or Quickswitch?

No there was a junta.

What about hotshot for omega ace or epsilon ace?
