Since we are getting a PS9 Poe Dameron in Heroes of the Resistance, the # of PS9 pilots will be thrown out of balance.

Now we'll have 3 PS9's for Rebels/Resistance and only 2 for Scum and Imperials respectively.

I sort of felt they were stretching it by making Talonbane Cobra a 9 but I understand why. However Dengar at 9 is very reasonable.

Who among the unused pilots in the Star Wars universe do you think FFG would draw upon to even the numbers out?

I think I would rather a tweak to talonbane before we get any other ps9 pilots, and this may be a unpopular opinion but do we actually need parity in the ps9 pilots, I would rather see pilots at ps 4-8 with interesting abilities than another ps 9 ace

who cares? PS 9 poe is basically never going to be seen outside a casual game

new PS 9 Han might

Tweak to Talonbane? Put him in a Starviper. I will buy the **** out of that expansion.

Is old Han still PS9?

EDIT: Yup. It shows his PS in the spread.

For scum, maybe Tyber Zann or Talon Karrde could be interesting choice. Or just a second version of Xizor who can trigger is ability with an electronic baffle/feedback array/... and not only when defending

he knows a few more maneuvers (not enough for a ps bump though)

Technically the PS 9 Poe old man Han are Resistence pilots, not Rebel alliance, so they are the two PS 9 guys allowed per (sub) faction.

I suppose the FO faction will get two PS 9 guys, as soon as we see some decent pilots.

Scum needs another subfaction to get their numbers up too.

Tie/sf is a nice excuse for a PS 9 "IDon'tHaveACanonName"

Angerstomp Krunch. Talonbanes cousin

Tau Leader in a Gunboat

Mara Jade in her pimped up Z

I think Scum will get Fenn Rau in a Fang, but I'm not sure about the Imps.

After Episode VIII comes out and we see some truly epic TIE Defender dogfight sequences, we'll get an Imperial Remnant pack that will include a PS9 Defender pilot with a truly amazing ability, along with a FO named pilot with an actual name instead of a generic designation.

I say this because obviously E8 will involve the Resistance chasing down the fleeing First Order only to fly into an ambush where the Imperial Remnant sends in their lone remaining SSD and unleashes TIE Defenders and Punishers (aging but still effective) to take out the bulk of the remaining Resistance and Republic capital ships and fighters (which there aren't many left after the destruction of the Hosnian system).

Just a minor correction, but the rebel scum will soon have four PS 9 pilots to the Empire and regular scums two.

Ever since I saw E7 my hope was that the Imperial Remnant would show up and whoop some.

But what I want to see is some old Imp IIs with Defenders, and the capital-shipless Resistance teaming up to take on those big FO Star destroyers.

Back on topic, I'd love a PS 9 Maarek Stele in an Avenger. Yes, I know it ain't gonna happen. But I wants it.

Which is one of my two major hate-ons for the new expansion (the other is same-named unique cards).

So of course for the Imps we'll get Garbage Disneyverse PS 9 and Whatshisname, he was the greatest of all!

Sweet Space Jesus!

Talonbane Mc'Awesome Cobra!!11

They should do more releases like the aggressor.

What I mean is have some new ships with great stats at a good price. But their PS maxes out at 6.

Too many lists where everyone wants a ps9 or higher ace right now.

As a scum player, I am actually not that interested in PS 9 pilots; I have gotten used and started loving that middle PS bracket. Instead, I would like to see more scum abilities or upgrades that can be of use against high PS pilots. You know, things like:

- Mimic EPT: If you have a target lock on a target, after it boosts or barrel rolls, you may perform a free boost or barrel roll.

- Jammer illicit: when defending, you may flip this card. If you do, you gain a bonus as if you were at range 3, even against secondary weapons.

- Hungry for glory EPT: When attacking, you may reroll one attack dice. If the opponent is of a higher PS rating, you may reroll 2 attack dice instead.

- Etc

You know, cool stuff that favors faction diversity instead of trying to bring each faction to the same level.

Sienna ree would be an obvious imperial choice. Ahem.

Poe could be piloting a TIE/sf

Captain Phasma PS9

Pilot ability: Imcompetence - treat Captain Phasma's PS as 3. Fly a shiny ship but do absolutely nothing. Lower all friendly shields by 2 to let Poe Dameron blow you up

Pilot Skill List attempt that should correlate to PS #'s.....I'd kinda go like this:

1) Wedge Antilles
2) Anakin Skywalker / Darth Vader
3) Soontir Fel
4) Saesee Tiin
5) Han Solo
6) Bobba Fett
7) Luke Skywalker
8) Maraak Steele
9) Dengar (whatever his last name is)
10) Tycho Celchu

Dengar goes over Han, Wes goes right beneath Luke, and Soontir has a tie (lol) with Wedge.

Poe has no place in the mess because he's currently the posterboy and plot-armoured beyond reason.

who the hell's Saessee Tiin?

If we start diving into the Prequels there's Plo Koon who gets the mantle of jedi starfighter supreme (oh the irony!)

Maarek Steele has no place in the parade as well.
