And I think I may have found a great combo.
R7-T1 plus Experimental Interface...
Okay so first off this isn't a crazy combo, but I think it's got a nasty surprise. You pull this off maybe on turn 2? Roll up, grab a focus, then EI into R7T1 and proc your ability. Use this to turn right around on an enemy who has just pulled a silly K-turn. Now you have full attack mod and your target has a stress token.
Situational? Maybe. Thoughts?
Expensive without adding much survivability for a situational ability. Not sure it'd give 3 points of value over just R7-T1 with Integrated Astro.
Well the thing is I love running Blue Ace, but I find that I just use that hard boost to crank around the mat and I miss out on dice mods. I know it's six points, and yeah, intergrated astro makes short work of that mod slot, but what it you're running with Roark, or a Swarm Tactics crew? Maybe not a bad idea to be able to
Maybe it was just one of those moments where you open squad builder and think; hey, I know! But it's not all that. Artee and IA does sound good though I fear everyone will be running IA soon and I dunno if I wanna buy a T-70 expac just yet...
Or what if you ran Blue Ace with some highly maneuverable squad mates like Jake Farrel and the like?

r7-t1 is far too situational to see any reliable use
r2-d6 w/predator + intergrated seems a-okay for 31 points
He really wants an EPT to be able to modify his dice.
R2-D6 + PTL would allow you to do his boost shenanigans and still modify his dice.
BB-8 + boost would give Phantom-like maneuverability ... but no dice modification.
R7-T1 also has a very situational trigger. For no additional points at all the white U turn is nice though, hadn't thought of that.

Had this for my tournament last night. It worked pretty well.
Really R7-T1 is Dutch's astromech due to its handy interaction with TLT. On any other ship it's probably a waste.
R2-D6 is a match made in heaven for Blue. With his ability, he doesn't need R2 and FFG has already ruled that using IA won't cause the loss of the EPT. Give him Predator and he's only 31 points. Blue might be one of the best mid-level PS fighters in the game.

Do you have the link to where FFG confirmed this?
