I know some people don't like just linking to external content, but this is a topic that I've not seen discussed in much depth here so thought it might kick off some good chatter.

I look at Hotshot Co-Pilot, from Heroes of the Resistance, and suggest a few possible uses for it.

Very good article but you can go even further. Try pairing your HoCo pilot with a lower PS wingman with Juke. In the RAC example, an /x7 Defender with Juke would be scary as you would know the Focus tokens would be gone by the time they came to shoot.

63 RAC (46), Gunner (5), HoCo (4), Rebel Captive(3), EU (4), VI (1)
36 Maarek Steele (35), /x7 (-2), Juke (2), TIE Mk2 (1)
99

You could probably play this around a bit if you want. Vessery is the same price and could take advantage of any TLs that RAC does not need to spend (although that is a bit situational). A Glaive or Ryad is a point cheaper meaning you could take a Stealth Device instead of Mk2 Engines. But basically I think there is potential here.

The list that I didn't share, because there was already a Chiraneau list in the blog, would be to pair the Decimator with Vader equipped with Juke & a free Sensor Jammer. So long as you use an Evade action when you're looking to fire you've got a pretty hotshot Vader.

HSCP Fat Han is quite intriguing.
