I'm thinking Ahsoka with VI, title, and Rec Spec might be fun.
Sabine's Tie fighter article now up
Kanan (FCS, autoblaster, rey) [44]
Biggs (1 point droid probably r5, integrated) [26]
leaves 30 points
16 points after Rex
crackshot sabine?
Sabine was an automatic winner since we knew she had the same ability.
Technically Zeb is pretty dope too. His ability is meh on the shuttle but on a TIE hes really cheap and has an ability that negates a bit of the TIE weakness: the random crit. Way too often ive only taken a single crit and it was either double damage, no shot, lower agility, or bump = damage
Indeed. Trading a focus token for a PS-Infinite barrel Roll, Evade, or whatever-the-hell-action-the-dude-in-the-back-seat-allows might be a winner.You know whats funny?
Ashoka isnt "another friendly"
Also the tie is a vastly superior choice for this kind of support
Ffg learned from esege and shara!
Plus, even if it wasn't , this is Airen Cracken/Lieutenant Blount money for a support ship, not the most expensive dude in your squad.
Also....
In the subsequent round, with The Inquisitor and "Omega Leader" doomed to limp forward at Speed "1," Ahsoka deploys her Proton Bombs and executes her Speed "1" maneuver to get just outside of the blast radius.
Her what? Isn't this a TIE fighter?
And yes, Suppressive Fire plus Biggs is going to be VERY annoying.
Sabine crew?
Ashoka, VI, Title, Captured Tie Mod, Sabine Crew, Emp Device, and bomb of your choosing.....
:/
I don't like any of this... it says the rebels have one tie fighter.. No not really, seems that they can have four of these..

That was my though too. An extra focus to spend on the title's ability.
Sabine crew?
Sabine, Sabine's Masterpiece, Black Market Slicer Tools, Captured TIE
18 points of PTL-annoyer.

Not to great effect. You can't take more than one of "Sabine's Masterpiece" and you can't take more than one "Captured Tie Mod." At best you could probably field two worth while.
I get the bomb. I don't get the speed 1 maneuver!Sabine crew?
Sabine, Sabine's Masterpiece, Black Market Slicer Tools, Captured TIE

It's a side effect of the Ion token, but like I said, she then can't drop a bomb..

Can you ion yourself with the EMP Device?
Ahsoka with Sabine title, captured TIE mod, EMP, and VI
+
Turret backup ships
-You can fly Ahsoka directly at the enemy without fear of her being attacked, ionize them every turn, while hammering them with turrets from out of arc. This would absolutely slay PtL aces that are PS8 or lower, swarms, and other <PS8 stuff. Only PS9+ ships are going to stand a chance
Notably, Dengaroo would wreck this Ahsoka build
Edited by BabaganooshMore than likely it'll be either Sabine or Asohka with the uniquyness upgrades and either Zeb or Rex for the 2nd cheapo since youre probably going to have about that much points left over anyway.
Most rebel ships are in the mid30pt range. Meaning either a Z, couple not needed but pricy and somewhat useful upgrades on other ships, or another TIE. I'd vote the TIE lol.
Rex is probably the better choice since that condition is going to be really annoying. Zeb if you are hurting on points.
edit: And yeah the issue with that illustration is you cant drop a bomb if you didnt reveal a dial. She was ioned. I missed the point where it technically self-ions since it doesnt say "other ships at range 1" so that makes it a bit less awesome in my books but still awesome.

EMP Device is one turn only. You have to discard after using it.
Ahsoka effectively has Light Side version of her teacher's ability
She doesn't master it yet, so need to focus each time.

Give Ashoka the title and Recon Spec and you've got a PTL+Squad Leader mashup for 4 points. It doesn't cause stress and the second action comes at the start of the Combat phase. I think she'll definitely see some play.
Also, PTL can be triggered off of that Combat Phase action.
Edited by WWHSDBiggest news here is absolutely the u-wing being crazy cheap and crazy good.
i just noticed Asohka's ability works on herself...
OK, she just got awesome. I take back my first post about her having a lame ability lol. Focus, wait for them to attempt to arcdodge you, anti-arcdodge them before anyone shoots. Dope as hell lol
Hmmm

Even Zeb is good. He's a one point upgrade on a bandit, and you're getting an improved PS, better dial and what is, on a TIE, a good ability - and if you don't think so, you've not lost enough TIEfighters to one shot direct hits!
Edited by Magnus GrendelToss a Recon Specialist on Ahsoka, and you're good. Also great with Kyle Katarn. Toss her a focus and then spend it.
Biggest news here is absolutely the u-wing being crazy cheap and crazy good.
not really "Crazy cheap" or "Crazy good"
not really cheap because it's just a B-wing with +1 agility sometimes, but on a large base
not "Crazy good" because we still have no idea what the dial is

Recon Spec is a good idea.
Basically gives her a stress-free PTL that if she doesnt need it she can dump the "free action" on someone else.
Hogs the title unfortunately so might not be a good one. Time will tell
Also, has to stay the feth away from Old Teroch lol
Edited by Vineheart01Roark People! If you bring Roark, you can make any of the Captured Tie pilots unattackable (at least during the combat phase).
Edit- And Mux could make them attackable. (But then Roark could bump them back up.)

4 of them with the title and FCS will be a thing, considering we know that they can drop unblockable 0 speed k-turns.

again, B-wings
so no, there is no guarantee that they will be a thing
in fact, considering how sub-PS 3 generics are faring in general, you can say far more reliably that they won't be a thing
the Zeta specialist FCS would be dominating by now, otherwise
if the U is getting any use, it'll be as a leverage for rebel crew (esp considering how many are coming in the pack)
