Whats the point of the rookie pilot ?

By Lancezh, in Star Wars: The Card Game - Rules Questions

Force pack evasive maneuvers... whats the point of the rookie pilots ? They cost nothing to play as pilots but dont do anything as pilot attachments so why even bother with them ?

Not really a rules question... Some vehicles care about being piloted and don't care if the pilot can do anything special.

Right now the only way to attach a Rookie Pilot to a vehicle as a pilot enhancement is through the fate card Stay on Target. Unfortunately, because the RP doesn't have any text on him that allows him to stay attached, he'll fall off and get discarded immediately. Thus, the RP is really a pretty worthless one cost one health black gun unit.

I was assuming he was asking about the Academy Pilot as he specified from the Evasive Maneuvers force pack.

That's what I get for just skimming the OP. Carry on....

Poor Rookie Pilot, he was a casualty of the Tarkin ruling.

I was soooo excited to use him to fuel my RSXs. :(
