The ingredients:
Norra Wexley or Shara Bey for the EPT
BB-8
PTL
Engine Upgrade
Nien Nunb
With this setup, you can basically end up anywhere on your half of the board in one move without any stress plus a focus or target lock.
I'm gonna have to evaluate if the combo is actually worth its cost, but man oh man, that is some crazy range.
EDIT: Oh dang! I hate typos. MANeuverability, of course.

Sabine pilot matches it better - she can boost first, BR after, which Norra can't.

Yeah, but the 8(!) green maneuvers the ARC gets with Nien Nunb lets you pull shenanigans every turn.
Just for clarification is the following correct?
Dial in a Red 4 Straight
Nien Nunb makes red 4 straight = green 4 straight.
Barrel Roll to left and forward with BB-8 as you have revealed a green
Boost with PTL 1 bank to left
Receive 1 Stress for PTL
Perform 4 straight Manoeuver
Check Pilot Stress and remove stress as you have just performed a green
Either focus or TL as your 1 action.

Oh yeah. Sexy, innit? I mean, it's basically the same thing that has been done before with Poe. But the option to pull that on a 4 straight makes it extra creamy.
Edited by debilerI can match that maneuverability and possibly improve on it:
Poe(9) Push the Limit, Vectored Thrusters, R2 Astro, Pattern Analyzer, Black One Title.
and then they all horribly lose dice trades to basically any other ship because they're not regening

Wouldn't you still have to get rid of that stress before you can repeat? I mean, that was basically my point. Rinse and repeat endlessly. Also, regening is not as much of an issue because with my build you can
1. Make a very quick getaway
2. dodge arcs
3. fire out the wazoo
and then they all horribly lose dice trades to basically any other ship because they're not regening
Yes, but they do it in style!
Hera attack shuttle
Stay on target
Nein numb
Any green manoeuvre can become any other manoeuvre on her dial
she also has a k turn and 1 sharp plus native barrel roll
Sabine attack shuttle
Push the limit
Kanan jarrus
She can barrel roll or boost before a manoeuvre Ptl for a token or barrel roll (if you boosted) clear her stress on any white manoeuvre and still do her normal action
They are also 3 attack native and can get a turret
Not that I don't love the arc but I think sabine and hera have more manoeuvre options

Phew. That Sabine combo is something I didn't think of. Hera is flexible, but she's still restricted to one repositioning action.

In terms of distance covered.
For 7 pts less Tycho can move further but doesn't get the goods. Tycho + Title + Char.Ref. + Vect.Thrust. + PTL
For 4 pts less PS11 Vader can do the same as Tycho but with no stress. Vader + VI + Title + ATC + EU
But I think what you're getting at here is the shenanigans aspect of doing the BR + Boost at the start and therefore making the destination more unpredictable is it?
I've always been a fan of the BB-8/ PTL trick on Poe, so I've been wanting to see how it goes on an ARC. I do think Sabine in the attack shuttle is then queen of the pre-movement shenanigans, especially with Kanan, but the sheer speed you're getting out of the ARC with this set up is impressive.
I'm gonna have to try this out.
Tycho disagrees.

Also when Sabine gets her tie fighter and sabine's masterpiece she can do all those silly repositioning manoeuvres with the ties speed

That's exactly what I'm getting at. The possibility of influencing the direction of your 4 straight by boosting beforehand is just crazy.
Pattern analyzer let's you switch order of "check pilot stress" and action. So you do all that, get the stress from PtL and than clear it for making a green move.

Yeah, but you still have only 1s and 2s that are green. And the repositioning is happening after the ship has moved. So it's kind of a different animal. But you're absolutely right, doing it Interceptor-style is possible now in a T-70. Tasty.

Also you'll be able to give her a Cloaking Device so she does then become the single most manoeuvrable ship in the game and an insanely good reactive blocker with Intel Agent. I mean, you're talking about then being able to move 5 base lengths sideways or 3 and boost then BR before doing your manoeuvre, or 3 and bost then BR after. She's going to be ludicrously unpredictable.

Sabine can do it every turn off 4 greens, or every other turn off *every move on her dial that isn't red*... When she gets her TIE fighter it goes crazy with 6 greens with TIE mk2 and Cloaking Device available...
Heres my Norra Build, and it works Beautifully!
Norra Wexley
BB-8
PTL
Kyle Katarn
Vectored Thrusters
Alliance Overhaul
I reveal a Green Maneuver, BB* Barrel Roll, PTL for a Focus (and stress), Perform the Green Maneuver (clearing the stress and giving me a Kyle Focus) and then Target Lock your opponent.
BOOM!
You can also use VT or EU for more positioning.
At the end of my movement, if I didn't start with a Stress, I end up with 2 Focus and a Target Lock.
If I start my movement with a stress, I still end up with a focus and Target Lock.
Also, If I bump, I can still have a Target Lock and Focus.
It works so well and Hits like a Truck!
Well, you could go
Nora Wexley
R7-T1
Jorus Kanan
PTL
Vectored Thrusters
Alliance Overhaul
Kanan adds a significant set of options in clearing the PTL stress and R7-T1 with PtL gives three actions per turn.
I can match that maneuverability and possibly improve on it:
Poe(9) Push the Limit, Vectored Thrusters, R2 Astro, Pattern Analyzer, Black One Title.

Who is talking about Regen? R2 Astromech makes all of the speed 2s green so Poe can boost/barrel roll and then 2-hard green on the following turn. Makes him an arc dodger. It's not terribly competitive but it's maneuverable as hell.

Poe(9) with PtL and Vectored Thrusters so he can boost and barrel roll like an interceptor. R2 Astromech so all the 2 speed maneuvers are green so he can clear stress like an A-Wing/Interceptor/Fang. Pattern Analyzer for when you set up a Talon Roll or K-turn so you still have an action. Black One title because why not.
