If your favourite pilot did a faction swap...

By Darkcloak, in X-Wing

Where would you want them to go, in what ship and why? They keep their PS and ability, don't worry about cost!

Well, I'll not lie. Darth Vader has always been one of my favourite characters. He scared me pretty good as a kid, especially the part in ROTJ when he shows up on Dagobah, but really it's Luke... I never understood that part fully until later on in life and then I could appreciate a good villain and anyways...

I'd put Vader in with Scum. I don't think he would be able, or would want to join up with another government after that whole Sith/Empire fiasco, so that leaves Scum. But which ship? Well I'm thinking the former Dark Lord is going to rock the Starviper. And hell yeah he'll take the title! 2 actions, FCS, torpedoes and glitterstim? Autothrusters on Vader? You know you've all dreamt about it... Plus, it's probably the coolest ship he could fly.

Biggs for the Imps in a Decimator.

Turr Phennir in an a wing or either flavour of x-wing.

Fenn Rau in a phantom: you know you want to. Because 6 dice at range 1 with PS11 advanced cloaking granting 5 greens... ;)

Talonbane in a Squint yeah.

Well, the obvious one (since he ends up in Rogue Squadron) is Soontir Fel in an X-wing.

Push The Limit, BB-8 and Engine Upgrade would be a pretty fearsome combination. Dial in a green move, barrel roll, boost, gain a free focus, perform the green move, target lock.

Vader in an Awing. It would be just like his old ETA-2.

Biggs in an X7 defender.

Zuckuss in a Phantom.

4-L0M in a squint.

Baron Fel in an A-Wing. Because.

Soontir in a K-wing, just so I can finally hit him for once!

You no take Rexler.

Wedge in a TIE Defender. Add TIE/D then double-tap people at PS9 while giving them -1 agility. :wub:

Wedge in YT-2400. Total monster. PS 9, 4 attack dice from HLC with -1 Ag.

Wedge in a TIE Defender. Add TIE/D then double-tap people at PS9 while giving them -1 agility. :wub:

If you go that route, maybe even Corran Horn in a TIE Defender. Triple-tap.

Double-tap corran in an Outrider with HLC? :D

Not my favorite but Baron Fel in his X-Wing. Because that happened.

If swap pilot to other ships we get many many many stupid hilarious things popping-up :

IG-88B in a YT-2400 (praise the "outirder's gunner")
Scum Boba Fett in the Falcon or a Decimator
Kavil on a JM5K Punishing One / Falcon / YT-2400 (5 dices HLC ^^) / Decimator
Tur Phennir in a Firespray (or a Starviper maybe)
Talonbane in a decimator
Imp Kath in a Outrider+Mango
Leebo on a YV666 or a JM5K (for a greedo+determination wombo-combo)
...
And Moralo Eval in the firespray could be nice in both scum & imp :)

Tycho in anything with a dial full of red :)

Corran would actually be fairly useless in the other factions.

Wedge still as a rebel in a Y wing Stress-hog with predator

Fenn Rau in a TIE Phantom.

Wedge in a TIE Defender. Add TIE/D then double-tap people at PS9 while giving them -1 agility. :wub:

That was mine too. A ship worthy of Wedge.

Deathrain in K-Wing. Nuff said.

Poe Dameron in scum Z-95. His ability would shine with just the 2 reds.

Bossk in a YT-2400 would be pretty amazing, just give him Mangler and watch the pain rain down!

OR

Scumm Boba in a Tie Advance. Find him in Range one, never use your TL because you are rerolling for days.

I'll play any faction as long as it gets the TIE Phantom :)
