Was R3 intended for Nora

I'm wondering if R3 will work well on Poe. High pilot skill, then if you roll 2 eyeballs on attack, convert one to a hit and one to an evade. Could make him quite tanky.

R2-D2 and R5-P9 already make him quite tanky, and work every time. No need to switch them out for a less reliable option.

I think snap shot red veteran t-70s might see one or two activations of R3 if flown right. Set up so a higher PS ship winds up at R1, snap shot, maybe get a bonus evade token.

I was just thinking....if they made it that you gave up a Blank result for the Evade token, then it would be so much better. Just think....you can even TL and Focus, but if you still happen to get a blank, you get an Evade Token! It gets into that weird area that maybe you actually want at least one blank for the Evade? It makes it so that almost any result, except for more than 1 Blank, is good.

Yeah that would have been pretty good. Honestly I would readily take that on Wes it would be great on Luke, and even Wedge is tempting for it... yeah it's situational, but it does something and doesn't punish your needed offense. Would have been good for E-Wings too

Also good on Y-wings. Imagine Horton Salm with this. TLT's would become even sillier. I think it would have to be once per round.

If it weren't primary only then yes.

Ah, yes, Primary Only! That is good. Still, it makes the BTL Y-wing even more formidable. :)

I just noticed the primary requirement so snap shot is not a viable vehicle to grab a focus die result.

I've flew a Red Squadron Vet - T-70 w/ R3 Astro, Comm Relay, Juke, and Intergrated at a tournament the other day. He stayed alive all three games thanks to the evade toke. R3 to get the evade comm relay to keep the evade and juke allows me to use the evade for offense as well.

Hell, I'll try anything once.
