Hello internet, I am looking at creating a list that is based around modifying/changing dice because they seem to oh so often fail me constantly. I have only purchased Rebel expansions so far. What I want to know is what seems to be the best for modifying dice, would it be better to choose pilot like Poe, Luke, Han, Keyan, Horton, that have the built in dice modifiers but are a bit expensive or are there some good upgrade cards that can do it as well? The main thing I want to accomplish here is to not have to be completely reliant on what my dice decide to do during the game instead be able to do something about it.
List Based Around Modifying Dice
You could fly 4 B-Wings with accuracy correctors. That'd ensure a minimum of 2 hits each! ![]()

I could but then I would have to buy another 3 B Wings.
You'd also be buying a pile of starvipers and/or IG-88's for the accuracy correctors (which would also net you some autothrusters and/or crack shots, which are generally considered handy to have on hand right now)
Honestly "Fat Han" is potentially a more cost-effective way to get what you're looking for. However, it uses constant rerolling until you get a result you like, rather than actual modifications. The most expensive component would be the C3PO to recreate the list faithfully, but the main two components you'd really need are the ship and a gunner card.

I do have everything but C3P0 for the "Fat Han" build I was just looking for a different way, I would rather run a few small ships than one big and one small.
How about focusing on improving your action economy over direct modification? Rebels have a lot of ways to reliably produce and get more out of their focuses and target locks. You also have crew like Ezra who can just take focuses and turn them into crits while you're stressed, or Kyle who can reward clearing stress by producing focuses.
I haven't purchased the Ghost yet and have heard that it really isn't all that great, I have used Kyle before on a few ships but the biggest issue is that on most of the ships that have a crew slot are large ships with few ways to get stress, I mostly use him on Keyan for the remove stress for a hit and then a focus right after.
