Porkins w/ expert handling, R5-D8, Experimental Interface has been a favorite of mine for quite some time. Haven't tried the swapping to Push the Limit with Vectored Thrusters yet, I'm hesitant because I reeealy like both the ability to throw off target locks (have fun never re-rolling your dice Whisper!) And to use R5 to repair damage last.

What a fantastic build idea! I never thought of this combo, I think I will have to give a go. Thanks for the idea nitrobenz!

Have you considered Rage for Porkins? He can make good use of it, using his ability to discard one of the stress and bringing an R2 unit (and Integrated Astromech) to help deal with the second and stay relevant the following turn, while also being comparatively cheap.

I'm honestly surprised Porkins doesn't see more use with that setup, but then I havn't actually flown it myself yet...
