Tycho in an x-Wing. Add stress bot
Pilots with New Ships
Tomax Bren in a standard TIE or a Defender. Unlimited crackshots
Tycho in an X-Wing + Expert Handling + Stressbot + IA would be a lot of fun indeed...
What about:
Arvel Crynyd in anything with a 360 arc
Ezra in a Y or an E
Sabine in a Y-Wing with bombs would be fun
Hera in pretty much anything
Keyan Farlander in an A or an E
Ibtisam in an A or an E
Oh man that would be fun... if either of those two B pilots went for the A wing instead? Would love to field, but the points wouldn't work...) an all A squad of Ibitsam, Keyan, Jake, Tycho.
Corran wouldn't be nearly as effective in any other ship.
Ezra in an E-Wing though.... Oh man.
VCX says "AWW YEAH"
Tycho in an X-Wing + Expert Handling + Stressbot + IA would be a lot of fun indeed...
Tycho in any 3 attack ship wants Rage. If Tycho is in a 3 attack ship that has any movement actions, he would also strongly consider Experimental Interface.
If we're going for power combos how about:
- B-wing Eaden Vrill w/ flechette torp x2, FCS, and e2 mod with Gunner. Miss with torpedo, stress target, follow up with 4 die target lock.
- if Keyan kept his EPT then rage on a y-wing would be ridiculous with either TLT or BTL-A4, you're talking Vessery levels of accuracy there.
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.
I dislike the E-wing as well and Corran does belong in an X-wing.
At least it fits the old canon, in that the E-wing was costly, did not function as well as the other ships, and was hated by nearly all who flew them. In that sense, FFG got it right.
Womp womp.
Corran in a X
Tycho in a X
Hera in a A (oh the possibilities!)
Leia in an X (recieve stress instead of flip pilot card facedown... actually scratch that. She needs a new ability if she is going to be a pilot.)
Tomax Bren in either an interceptor or Advanced. Maybe a punisher(assuming he kept the EPT, which is something punishers don't normally do).
Edited by FlyingAnchorsI'm surprised there's not much love for Blount, but I'm guessing he's generally forgotten about due to being in a rebel z-95.
Vader in a Defender.
Maarek Steele in everything TIE based. And a Gunboat.
Whisper in a Defender. Especially with TIE /D
Corran in a X
Tycho in a X
Hera in a A (oh the possibilities!)
Hera should be in an A- and B-Wing.
Drea Renthal wants her CR90
Eadren Vrill wants something with an astromech...r3-A2.

Forgot about the poor guy! How about a K-wing? Lots of Missiles/torpedoes to auto hit when available and then auto hit with TLT/ion turret for the rest of the game. Just for the turret he'd still be a menace in a y-wing or HWK
Eadren Vrill wants something with an astromech...r3-A2.
Good call, his ability basically makes an X-Wing or E-Wing a 4atk ship +stress, and could make a decent first pass alpha in a stress-hog with a flechette torpedo (4 dice and 2 stress on target)
Blount could easily become stupid OP in the right ship lol. Any ship with a turret or cannon, slap ion on him, auto ion literally every time and 1 damage.
There may be several but a question you'd need to ask is "will they get the pricing correct?"
Imagine a correctly price Rhymers in a Punisher. Other pilots with over valued abilities could get new life in more cost effective rides and possibly even benefit from new upgrade options.

Which is a shame, given how many people are asking for Defender counters... I mean 1 auto-damage, auto-ion on a ship that stacks tokens like Soontir but can't arc dodge nearly as well? You'd think that alone would be a reason for him to make a comeback. Plus he's firing with/before any Defender that didn't waste their EPT slot on PS pumping EPTS.

Let's not kid ourselves; Blount is only remotely balanced on the fact he only gets the one shot.
There's "Interesting pilot in a certain ship" and then there's "Let's see how we can break the game in two".

Well he is prone to dying to a single rocket/torpedo.
His ability has the biggest impact when he fires a missile of which he can only carry one.
The question with Blount is can the rest of your list finish said Defender off?
