Basically as title says. I'm trying to make a Kylo Ren build but can decide what EPT to go with.

My list is currently at 97 points:

Standard OL(26)

Pure Sabacc(22) + VI(1) + Lightweight Frame(2) (25)

Kylo Ren (34) + Palp(8) + FCS(2) + PA(2)

Adaptability on Kylo and stealth on lockdown

Expert Handling + Pattern Analyser + Inspiring Recruit =

The internet says Palp is dead anyway

Barrel rolling an Upsilon would be so funny to see.

I've been enjoying Rage+Baffle+Pattern Analyzer. FCS is awesome, but sometimes that ship you just TL'd flew the coup, and you need to take a target of opportunity. You need to make every shot count with Kylo, and Rage leaves more options for targets during the combat phase. Reveal green maneuver -> Pattern Analyzer to use Rage -> clear one stress because it was a green maneuver -> baffle the second stress, and your dial is completely open for next round.

Bonus points for being thematic:

However, I do think Expert Handling Ren would be fun, and would suit your FCS build up there perfectly. Just don't use Pattern Analyzer for Expert Handling after a red maneuver, or you'll be double stressed...which actually isn't awful for FCS Ren.

Does that actually work? Clearing the rage stress via pattern analyzer and a green maneuver? It's not something I've seen done, but sounds great.

Edit: I suppose it must as you're checking the stress after moving. I'd be tempted to take an inspiring recruit instead of baffle

Yup, it works, that is why PTL and Pattern analyser are a popular combo on T70s. Inspiring Recruit would solve the problem but leaves no room for Palp. Your call.

Oh fair point about Palp. Frankly I'd prefer to drop him and try something else but that's for another thread!

43 pts:

Kylo Ren, Rage, Electronic Baffle, Pattern Analyzer, Inspiring Recruit x 2, Experimental Interface.

So I can perform a green maneuver, Coordinate Action, Experimental Interface into Rage for a total of 3 stress then Pattern Analyzer will remove all 3 stress in combination with the Inspiring Recruits? Does that sound right?

Cool, thanks for the info!

Seems legit...

Not quite, Pattern Analyser allows you to perform your action before the "Check Stress" step. This means that you generate the stress first, then potentially clear some (or all) of it from the Green Maneuver.

With Inspiring Recruit + PA, you will clear 2 Stress on a Green which means you will still have 1 left to Baffle.

I was using two inspiring recruits
