Hypothetical Question

By Innese, in X-Wing

You can put any Rebel pilot into any Rebel ship, as well as give them an EPT if they don't already have one. Lets also say that A-Wing Test Pilot applies to the pilot itself, rather than the ship, so it would carry over as well.

Who do you put where?

Edit: Should have seen this coming! Lets expand it to any Imperial pilot in any imperial ship, and any Scum pilot in any Scum ship!

Tycho and Corran in X-Wings because of Rogue Squadron.

Using those rules? Jake goes in everything. He'd get two EPTs and his ability gives great maneuverability to ships that normally don't have the ability to boost or barrel-roll.

Or Snap Wexley in a CR90 just for the lulz.

In theory, I think it would be cool to put Wedge Antilles in an E-Wing. Or have him pilot of VCX for shenanigans sake.

Whatever it takes to make Wedge feel more like the Legends canon pilot he used to be.

Why only Rebel pilots though? Where's the Imperial love? I want to put Vader in a TIE Interceptor. Heck, I'd want Vader to pilot most other Imperial ships.

Wedge in a T-70 X-Wing. You could build some sweet combos with that

IG88B in a Tie/D? Possible 3 attacks could be fun.

... I need to read better. Neither of these are rebel...

PTL Rage Tycho in a T-70 with R3A2.

Biggs in a VCX.

Pretty much anyone in an Aggressor, for Scum. Best single Scum ship, pretty much, especially given the title.

Biggs in a VCX.

Yes.

Biggs in a VCX.

Yes.

Nah. Biggs in an A Wing is a lot more difficult to kill.

Give Hobbie his EPT, dammit. Then either in an X-wing or E-wing, with Hobbie + Targeting Astromech + Stay on Target. Free target locks every maneuver while clearing stress.

Biggs in a VCX.

Yes.

You'd be relying on only four total health that will disappear the moment those green dice fail.

And fail they will. It is inevitable.

An A Wing with Heras pilot ability would be amazing

Hera in an A-Wing, Major Rhymer in a HWK or Y-Wing

Talon Bane and/or Fenn Rau in a Star Viper

Tycho in a VCX with Hera crew. Stress means nothing lol

Miranda, Corran, Braylen, Nera, Rey (with Finn), Sabine, Horton, and Tycho all in VCX.

Jake in any ship with crew for recon spec. Focus, barrel roll, focus, and boost!

Eaden Vril in a Falcon or Arc(for R3A2 and gunner)

Wedge in an ARC with tail gunner would be fun. That rear arc would scare any ace!

Horton can stay where he is with an EPT. Same with Red and Gold Leaders.

Luke and Corran change ships.

Stele in ALL SHIPS. Because TIE Fighter.

Not if you build the rest of the squad right and fly right. You should be winding up with 5 or 6 dice with autothrusters focus/evade and -1 red for 2+shots. Working on the basis of Kanan/Biggs here.

Biggs's purpose is to be shot at. In my opinion, having him at only 4 total health with no regen capability does not bode well for him when everyone is forced to make him the target.

I agree that you can get a lot of defensive bonus in an A-Wing (though at most he could only roll 4-5 dice, and that's range and obstacle dependent), especially if you're building around it. But there's a lot of if's in your suggested defensive build ("if" you're at range three for the extra dice, "if" they're at range 3 for Autothrusters bonus, "if" you're within 1-2 of Kanan, and "if" Biggs is unstressed to take an action). And the moment those green dice fail against a decent attack, Biggs is going to go poof.

Also, you didn't say anything about him being in a squad with Kanan flying the VCX in your original post. I agree that would give Biggs some more survivability.

But the benefit of Biggs on an A-Wing is that he would definitely be cheaper than he is on an X-Wing. Still, I'm not going to put down the idea of Biggs flying an A-Wing. I just thing having him on higher health ships would be more beneficial for his ability.

I want Sabine in an A-Wing (because she's not in the game enough already >_< ). Would be fun.

I'd also like Jan in an A or a Z or something. She's got a cool ability; she's just not worth a 30+ point HWK.
