Omega Leader=El Presidente
Local nicknames for Pilots
Bandit Squadron Pilots are generally referred to as Hero Bandit along with their own chant when they take a clutch shot.
If you are ever around Atlanta and you have a Bandit taking an important shot just yell out, "Hero Bandit" (the same way you would say, "Let's go, Sports team!"
You're welcome.
Started when I had a single Bandit that won a tournament for me, the clutch shot was range three / obstructed on something ridiculous like a cloaked Phantom. The chant fit so well and the shot so awesome, that it just kinda stuck around the area.
Dash is called Dash ahhha (Flash ahaaa).
Thank you! We just decided locally yesterday to call Dash with Kanan crew "Dash Gordon" because "Rainbow Dash" is stupid.
Rofl, I'll have to remember a few of these names and try to introduce them to my group (must sing Dash, savior of the universe)
Lambda Shuttle is Shittle in our gaming group.
I know I'm not the only one I'm sure, but I like to call Mandalorian Mercenaries "Mando Mercs".
Pickles McGee- not any specific ship, but you gesture angrily at a ship that just evaded all possible damage thanks to good evade dice luck.
"I'd have won too if it weren't for Pickles McGee over here (angry gesture-flail at ship). One hull left, and he gets three evades and spends the evade token."

"And I would have gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for your meddling K's and that dogfighting too."

"We"? More like just you.
Poseph Dameron. Only his mother calls him that.
Reddles ("Redline")
Bomber Buddy - Scimitar Shuttle with Fleet, Systems, Mk2
Deathwaffles - Deathrain with Electronic Baffles, Experimental Interface and ALL THE CONNER NETS.

Nah, Rainbow Dash suits perfectly, because it's gameplay is 146% pro-gay.
Airen Cracken - Crackhead
Lieutenant Blount - Blunt
"Chopper" - Uncle Chop Chop (Mark Brandon Reed Tribute)
Ibitsam - Sam. This seems to cause confusion amongst other groups that call her Ibby
Rear Admiral Chiraneau - Cheerios
Captain Oicunn - Pigsy (Oink Oink)
"Omega Leader" - Megsy or Mega
Soontir Fel - Soon
"Wampa" - Thwomp!
The Inquisitor - Quiz or "Expected" (no-one expects the Spanish Inquisition, but everyone expects The Inquisitor) or All-The-Actions, because that's what he does most rounds.
N'Dru - Drew or Andrew
Contracted Scout - C**ts or Fakes
Dengar - Real Deal, because only the Punishing One has a Droid slot, and Turret Setup.
Turr Phennir = Turd Finder.
We can't be the only ones who say that, surely?
Kath scarlet has over time become "captain scarlet". Sadly not indestructible though.
The lambda has become "the big white space cow" or variations thereof.
The only other one that seems to get any consistent use is the tie phantom, which is apparently "the turd" mostly because it's never been flown without being ignominiously blown out of the sky.
I just remembered a generic ship I had that earned a name during one game.
One of my PS2 Kihraxz was doing a K-Turn almost every other turn, so both my opponent and myself started calling it "Manuel" with many Fawlty Towers references for the rest of the game and every time it did a K-Turn we'd both say "K?" (Que?).
in our group if we cant remember the pilots name in the heat of battle we call the Dopey
If one pilot is always rolling good we call the Prick
If only there green dice are good we call them Doggy B*****d
and we all call Fel %$#@ %#@!
:D

Just because you weren't part of it doesn't mean there wasn't a "we"!
Turr Phennir = Turd Finder.

Used to see "Turd Ferguson" all the time.
Poe Dameron is always Poe Dameron! (the exclamation point is part of his name). Han Solo is of course Han Solo but said like Jabba The Hutt.
My friend calls his YV-666 with Bossk (ship), Dengar, Greedo and Zuckuss the Party Bus. Party bus is in the house tonight, shooting rebels and they have a good time. I just imagine Dengar doing the robot, Greedo breakdancing and Zuckuss rocking out like Chris Farley in that SNL chippendales episode. Bossk... Bossk has to drive.
we have locally;
Houndstooth - Party Bus
Superdash
and my personal favourite - Psycho Tycho
Dark Curse - usually something unprintable....
Locally I've heard some people call Lockdown, Omega Leader...
Just some randomness from my group
Dengar = Dengy
Zuckuss = The Zuckster
Vader = Vade Dawg
Soontir Fel = Felly Wap
Whisper = VISPAAA
Palpmobile = Paply or Palpster
N'Dru = Andy
Inquisitor = Quizy
Kath Scarlett = Katherine or Kathy
Carnor Jax = Carnor Jaxson
Im just noticing that most of our nicknames are longer than the actual names...
<snip>
N'Dru - Drew or Andrew

Someone in my area coined "Space Andrew" for N'Dru.

We call him Andy Selleck, and joke about how he's trying to impress his older brother.
