... 'cause Pops Krail really needs that to be his pilot ability.

Click bait.

Kad Solis, and Guri with wingman.

Keyan Farlander.

4-LOM (pilot).

Targeting Astromech.

being just far apart enough and loosening up

also Nien Nub with pattern analyzer and targeting astromech

if the t-70 weren't so twistedly overcosted, it'd be super awesome

as is, it is merely super fun

Anyone with navigator or Juno Eclipse

Boba fett(imperial) with navigator if only he wasn't so pricy

I would say Quickdraw or Poe 9 with pattern analyzer.

And Keyan with Navigator, although he suffers from low PS so he cant go after Aces.

My personal favourite

Braylen Stramm was made for Stay on Target, and throw in Navigator, and you can really change things up!

Yeah but he's only PS 3. You can't even react to most pilots

ARC-170 (with an elite slot) + Targeting Astromech + Hera (Crew)+ Stay On Target

I wish wish wish Hobbies had an Elite Slot just for the Stay on Target card (plus the Targeting Astromech). Please FFG, please!!

For Rebels - Jek Porkins, Keyan Farlander, and Tycho Celchu are a few pilots who can handle stress well with their pilot abilities.

What is that "ztay on zarget"? <wink>

ARC-170 (with an elite slot) + Targeting Astromech + Hera (Crew)+ Stay On Target

Again, though - their pilot skill isn't amazing, so it's not especially reactive. It's not an awful use for Shara Bey, though, as you can hand out that target lock to whoever needs it, and can K-turn back and forth like a TIE defender, so she's hard to pin down herself.

Hera in the attack shuttle, she can really mess about with her dial with stay on target and her ability

For Rebels - Jek Porkins, Keyan Farlander, and Tycho Celchu are a few pilots who can handle stress well with their pilot abilities.

Unfortunately Tycho is likely to be already stressed so cannot perform the red manoeuvre as will just be converted to a 2 straight (unless there is some obscure rule that gets round this as it was initially not a red manoeuvre)

I used to play Oicuun in his ram deci with stay on target. That always annoyed people

So what wins out of stay on target and R2/unhinged astromech?

Snap Wexley - you can boost after any manoeuvre, with either R2 to clear the stress or Targeting Astro for a free target lock.

PS6 is the only drawback.

Keyan + Adv. Sensors.
If you aren't a Defender or a turret, you wont get a shot.

So what wins out of stay on target and R2/unhinged astromech?

The maneuver will be red. If two things try to change the difficulty of a maneuver, the more difficult one wins out. Red will beat white will beat green.

On a very basic level, anyone with an EPT and Tech slot. SOT and Pattern Analyzer (lesser extent, Primed Thrusters) are a good combo.

Brobots B-D

Old Han + stay on target + Hera + Ezra. Or instead of Ezra, Chopper with EU
