Resurrecting the dead

As I continue to look for the utility in worthless pilots, I realiza that with expertise, all of Porkins shot can be double modified.

This goes for any ship really, but theoretically is awesome on X-Wings since they have no other actions anyway, (baring mods, but everyone just takes integrated because there is no better value for the points and it really helps.) Interestingly enough, I have been playing this on X-Wings lately, and it pains me to tell you, I have no idea if it's any good. My dice kept coming up perfect or blank, and I would spend the lock, and not roll a single eye. If I actually get to use the card, I'll happily let you know how it goes. Anyway a note on Porkins, interesting choice, his ability protects him from stress ships, which hard counter expertise. I like it. What worries be me is his major drawback, he needs to roll that res dice, and I swear it is just always going to hit you, at least that's my luck. Even so R5-D8 helps mitigate this, if you can keep your shields up, which may prove difficult, but at that point you lost the double mod you wanted anyway. So there's a counter, but that doesn't mean it will be a huge problem. Try it out, let me know how it works.
