So with Stele getting two rides with the same skill, it makes me wonder what other pilots could really use a ship change? Not really referring to the usual really **** good ones (obviously Vader in pretty much any ship would be glorious), more talking about the lesser known or mediocre pilots that are primarily plagued by the ship theyre on.

Kenkirk for instance. Hes not a terrible pilot but everyone either goes for the free crit Chiranaeu or the bumperstrat Oicunn, because a single agility isnt really that super in comparison. But what if he was on a high agi ship like an Interceptor, TIE/Adv, or Defender? Inverted cloaking device!

Valen Rudor would be great on any ship that tends to be a target and isnt super squishy. If he was on a bomber/punisher that would be hilarious. Shoot him, i dare you, he'll acquire that TL or Focus and really hit you back good!

Etahn A'baht (ewing guy) has a really good ability but you NEVER see it because the ewing is such trash unless its Corran then its "good" (which would be another pilot in this list lol). If he was on a proper support ship like a HWK yeesh that could be a good include since you could give him actual support upgrades, instead of being a lackluster offensive with an oddly supporting ability.

Any other ideas?

Ryad on a Decimator?

Kir Kanos in a Phantom.

*sigh

Etahn would be better as a crew, befitting his rank, or failing that a Z.

Corran Horn should be in an X-Wing.

Admittedly if Corran was in a T70 or even a generic Xwing i'd probably use him a lot more.

I hate ewings. With a **** passion. Overpriced, still somewhat squishy, insanely bad dial. I hate every bolt that holds that ship together lol.

Corran wouldn't be nearly as effective in any other ship.

Ezra in an E-Wing though.... Oh man.

Corran Horn should be in an X-Wing.

With the state they are currently in - no he shouldn't Why would you do that to the poor guy?

i sincerely doubt Corran would be useless in any other ship rebels have than an Ewing.

The ability to doubletap is almost universally amazing. HWKs, Ywings, and YT2400 are about the only ones that wouldnt want that since their main gun isnt the draw of that ship (off the top of my head, sure theres another that would hate primary weapon twice).

Put him in the Falcon. Now he can be facing away for an easy escape the turn he doubletapped.

Wedge or Wes on just about anything else (excluding B-Wing, unless it's priced correctly unlike current unique Bs).

PS9 pilots with good abilities are good.

Soontir could fly the eat out of anything with decent greens, including an X-Wing with the R2 Astromech (although in order to use up all those actions, you'd probably need someone with Jans Ors nearby or a Weapons Guidance system).

Vader in any ship is money, as you said. Jake Farrell, also bananas in almost any ride.

Other crazy good pilots whose abilities are good enough to make them worthwhile in a variety of ships include:

Carnor Jax (give that man a Decimator and watch your opponent cry)

Ezra (perhaps a nice Tie Interceptor for the young lady? She'd love some extra green dice)

Sabine (You thought a JumpMaster 5k was an obnoxious blocker before...)

RAC (a solid ability on any combat vessel)

Howlrunner (I just think she'd be fun in a Lambda shuttle, okay?)

Dark Curse (also a Decimator pilot fantasy worth having, but I'd settle for an Interceptor)

Luke Skywalker (he really just needs a T-70)

Inquisitor (anything with a 3 attack dice primary would love him in the driver's seat)

Countess Ryad (in any jousty ship)

Miranda Dodani (on anything with a 360' firing arc and more than one shield)

Talonbane Cobra (She wants a more cost efficient ship, preferably with boost built in. Maybe even a Starviper for her?)

and of course

Palob: The best pilot in the game if he flew absolutely anything other than a HWK (which are not super weak, but a little squishy to be really, really mean).

Horton salm in anything with an ept. Heck, even a y wing.

Horton salm in anything with an ept. Heck, even a y wing.

*sigh* poor moustachio

Oh...and also Manaroo in like, a Tie Fighter with PtL (if she retainers her EPT slot)

If we could stuff that girl into a cheaper ship with the ability to pass an evade and focus token each round, she'd completely replace the Emperor in terms of offering point efficient support to your expensive aces.

Pass those tokens and hang out in the back, girlfriend. We got this.

PS9 pilots with good abilities are good.

Soontir could fly the eat out of anything with decent greens, including an X-Wing with the R2 Astromech

Ezra (perhaps a nice Tie Interceptor for the young lady? She'd love some more green dice)

Soontir would be cool to have in an Xwing at some point, if only for story purposes. Since he defected to the Rebel Alliance/NR in his introductory material- the Xwing Rogue Squadron comics.

Ezra is a boy, a 1 year old boy, not a girl, who is in the Rebel's tv show. But yes, he'd be nice with more green dice.

I also think Talonban Cobra is a guy too, well many of them sicne he another ace pilot takes up his mantle when one dies.

Etahn A'baht (ewing guy) has a really good ability but you NEVER see it because the ewing is such trash unless its Corran then its "good" (which would be another pilot in this list lol). If he was on a proper support ship like a HWK yeesh that could be a good include since you could give him actual support upgrades, instead of being a lackluster offensive with an oddly supporting ability.

Etahn would probably be pretty cool in an ARC-170.

Biggs in a VCX or a Falcon, for giggles

Would love a Miranda Doni in the VCX. Let's see how many red dice we can roll.

Biggs in a Z-95. Slap a hull on there and you've got an annoyingly cheep meat shield.

Ethan in an X-Wing, so he can support more ships and get good value for his ability.

Arvel, in anything, at PS2.

Airen Cracken in any ship where high PS matters.

Eden Vrill in a Defender /D. With the stress cannon.

Lando in an A-Wing. Lando in an X-Wing with R2.

Ten Numb in a TIE Advanced with ATC.

Scum!Kath in a TIE S/F.

Graz the Hunter in a Fang fighter.

Tel Trevura in a Decimator. With the exact same wording of the ability.

Kavil, in an HLC Outrider.

Wedge in an e wing. Advanced sensors r2 mech and push

For maximum Rebel auto-damage and control, how about Lt. Blount in basically anything with a canon or turret slot? I'm thinking a Y-Wing. Or for full on hate, Lt. Blount in a VCX. Nothing like two auto hits with something like an Ion turret every turn. Control tank.

Edit: Yes would be ridiculous with TLT as well for just brute 4 auto damage per turn, but I'm still a fan of ion. Even if it would mean any ship with less than 5 total hitpoints in range would be insta-gibbed.

Edit 2: So I guess you cant do the second TLT attack with the Phantom second attack, but still pretty strong at 3 auto damage with TLT.

Howlrunner in a TIE Advanced: Finally a pilot you'd take as enthusiastically as Vader, and where AC over ATC is a perfectly viable pick. Or hell, Sensor Jammer!

Redline in a TIE Bomber: Worth his points, even without the EPT.

Deathrain in a TIE Bomber: Pair with Deathfire for maximum lolz.

Wedge, oddly enough, in a Y-wing: Slap BTL-A4 on him and giggle at the triple-tap. (He would of course be awesome anywhere , but at least this one is canon.)

Chirpy in a Defender would be kinda horrifying with TIE/D, no matter the EPT you gave him. (Indeed, I long wished his ability had been what Rexlar had rocked all along.)

Oh, and mount Ethan in an A-wing, fly him with a GSP swarm, and watch the crits flow . Ten Numb wouldn't mind him either.

i sincerely doubt Corran would be useless in any other ship rebels have than an Ewing.

The ability to doubletap is almost universally amazing. HWKs, Ywings, and YT2400 are about the only ones that wouldnt want that since their main gun isnt the draw of that ship (off the top of my head, sure theres another that would hate primary weapon twice).

Recent FAQ: the Ghost/Phantom comb now gets the extra TLT attack.

Talonbane Cobra on ANY ship with 2+ shields.
