Are triple T70's viable?

I hope you're right. Blue Ace was a lot of fun!

I'll still run my Red Ace/Blue Ace T-70s regardless whether they're in the game, I just think it's a shame that characterful pilots are being removed simply because they haven't got names :(

They'll have names, but maybe they'll still got stuff like "Blue Ace" as their subtitle...?

Probably, Omega leader will still be around but that is her subtitle now. She goes by Midnight now.

Edit:Okay I have been rechecking all the Resistance spoilers I can find and there will be 12 T-70 pilots when it drops. 9 will be unique while 3 will be generics. Of them here are all the confirmed names of the unique ones.

  1. Poe Dameron
  2. Ello Asty
  3. Nien Nunb
  4. Joph Seastriker
  5. Lieutenant Bastian
  6. Kare Kun (Who btw I think inherits Blue Ace's ability, her text looks very close to Blue Ace AND uses the same art.)
  7. ?
  8. ?
  9. ?

3 are still unknown but if Kare Kun, a Black Squadron pilot, is in then I am betting money Snap and Jess will be as well.

I bow before your spoiler-fu!

I am looking forward to fly tripple T-70s in 2.0! Slamming Poe sounds like great fun.

Flew T-210 one last time before they get put to bed until Christmas. Got roped into a tournament again, but actually had a lot of fun this time!

I’m honestly in a bit of a malaise, despite the game officially releasing in two days. Myself and a bunch of locals have stuff from GenCon, and it’s been great to play a ton of 2.0. The problem is, I just want Resistance. I know, in my heart, that everything else is just filler for me.

I have it the same way. I'll just fly Falcon, HWK (which is the only non-resistence ship I have for my own - I love it) and some of my wifes Rebels. And I will wait for time when I will be able to fly the Resistence again!

By the way, what do you think about T-70 X-Wing with Heavy Laser Cannon?

It seems it was quite a nice event. And I really love the paintjob on your T-70s! Yep, now it's confirmed, I will také tripple T-70s on our Goodbye Tournament!

I know how you feel. 1.0 was dead to me for a long time, and the only ships that had always been fun were the Defender (I'd been running Double Ds since before Imperial Veterans) and the T-70. Though now the T-65 is a bit more worthwhile, I think X-Wings in X-Wing might tide me over until November.

I was actually thinking Poe with Proton Rockets :D

As Palpatine once said "Do it!" Also, thanks! :D

As I last mentioned we have 3 named t-70 pilots who officially haven't been named. I am still betting 2 of them will be Snap and Jess but I kinda wonder now if Kaz from the upcoming Resistance tv show will also be a pilot. I also doubt that Disney gave FFG that much info in advance but I kinda wonder now.

I think Kaz is probably a little young to be a T-70 pilot; the characters all appear to be mid-late teens in the show (except the ex-Imperial). I'd imagine they will see releases in later waves when FFG run out of sequel-trilogy ship to make; they're a little too unique, like Sabine's TIE, and if there's only one pilot per ship it makes me wonder whether it's even worth making rules for?

Thats what I thought at first to but I guess for a summary for the first two episodes it mentions Kaz is a new X-Wing pilot recruit for the Resistance. Also if we talk age season 1 Ezra and Sabine from Rebels were also pretty young so I don't think it is too far fetched.

With Snap being confirmed for Ep IX, I imagine he'll be back. Jess I think went with him (it's in the TLJ novel or something like that).

That's a fair point; any character aged 16 or above would be viable, I suppose. Hopefully he won't be as annoying as early (actually any) Ezra was. Will we see him flying a T-70? If Kira is correct and we're only getting nine named pilots, and Snap and Jess do make a reappearance, we've only got one slot left. My gut feeling is a new Red Ace (my fingers are crossed), but who knows?

I spent most of my time in X-WING flying T-70. Now, I really struggle to find enough enthusiasm to build lists without them. I bulid lists with my wife's Rebels with HWKs And Headhunters (did you know Poe flew Headhunter too?)... I just can't wait for the Conversion Kit. ?

sad Resistence ?

I just saw the extended trailer, in which we see him flying what looks to be a T-85 and definitely a T-70, so I retract my statement. I'm not sure I'm 100% enthusiastic for it, but having more named pilots is always fun.

You don't have long to wait! The T-65 now flies quite similarly to the T-70 we all know and love, thanks to the addition of Servomotor S-Foils and Tallon Rolls. It's probably worth keeping your hand in with A form of X-Wing, even if it isn't the one you love.

So... The article fills me with some hope!

Obviously we don't know what the pilots we haven't seen yet do, but one can hope their abilities are at least marginally similar to their 1.0 abilities.

BB units look like they're going to be fun !

T210 is back! One of my favorite lists ever.

T-210 is not dead!

Long live T-210!

(I've had a lot of success with T-195 which is a lot harder to pronounce, but makes me confident!)

She’s back!!

But what does she do? I assume she shares her 1.0 ability, or something similar, but we shall have to wait and see!

And hope!
