Finn's probably more useful on a ghost than a non-Rey Falcon because FCS is significantly better for him than Han's ability/Lone Wolf. With FCS you're getting 1/2 to 3/4 of a dice.

Ezra is two points less than Finn, is more consistently useful than Finn (you're stressed. Your first shot on a new target will not have a TL so no Finn. Roll an eyeball, you still get Ezra), and is statistically like .1 damage less than Finn (while significantly increasing the expected number of crits). If the VCX is carrying Hera, Finn is inferior to Ezra.

Your VCX is PS 5 or less, with only two attack shuttle options left. Finn could ride at PS7 with Hera.

Ezra + Hera = 4 points so you're only saving one point, and have no remaining crew slots. Finn can still have a buddy for an added effect.

There are trade-offs... pros and cons to both.

Rebel Han with Finn and Luke/Gunner = 5 modded dice at R1, for 12pts?

I'll take it.

Hmm with VI, MF Title and Engine he's at 64pts.

Now, to find a super tanky/annoying ship for the endgame, for 36pts...

(to auto-win against Classic Soontir)

In arc only. How often does han actually have stuff in arc? Not very.

With the sloop MF title, quite often.

Which leaves you stressed (because no room for kanan) so no focus and you cant do it every round. And you lose the rvade option. A luke finn new title han is gonna melt in no time flat

Defensive fortress falcons are obsolete. ThE new Falcon is designed to smash before it dies.

I can run a ghost thatll smash harder for less points if thats all i want. Could even use finn still

I get this, but not relying on Fire Support and having PS8-9 and EPTs available is a pretty huge thing. But then again, why not both?

Well finn's gonna have a hard time being in two places at once . And id rsther rely on fire control than on han's ability. If you roll 3 hits you probably wont want to use hans ability to reroll them all along with finns blank die. Maybe not even with 2 hits (since statistically you should get 2 hits back from 4 dice). And if you cant (or dont$) reroll his die finn is just wasting points. Ps9 with an ept is nice Ill agree, but i feel theres better ways you can take advantage of the ps on han. I do like finn on rey.

Who says you have to dock an attack shuttle? Ive flown more ghosts lists without the phantom than I have with (though I have docked lists as well). And if youre running a docked shuttle you dont generally need hera crew as much sjnce you have 2 arcs plus a turret double tap. Hera cew is to help a fromt arc ghost get shots.

And ezra + finn is 1 point less for almkst identical average damage, more crits, and the ability to ignore strsss and do reds all day long

Ezra is a little bit better than Finn in most situations on a Ghost, yes. Hera/Ezra on an FCS rebel is a great combo for a ship with great firepower at a pretty reasonable price.
