What would happen with this build? Specifically would R2-D2 give Sabine a shield? The card does not specify "up to your shield value" as some cards do. Thanks!

BUMP

It does say " you may recover 1 shield". I'd suggest that one cannot recover something one never had. To make it work, you'd need Shield Upgrade instead of Captured TIE. And if you're looking for a crew that would help with survivability on a TIE with Shield Upgrade, you could use Chewbacca instead.

That's kind of what I was thinking. Chewbacca may be a good crew for it. I was hoping I could set it up where I couldn't be attacked and just keep dealing damage with feedback array and then regen that shield.

Yep you would need a Shield Upgrade to "recover" a shield. R2-D2 and Feedback is an interesting idea, though, I like it!

I play scum. The idea of R2-D2 + feedback sounds like my kinda jank! Kudos

Not being able to recover shields above your shield value is actually in the core rules IIRC. They don't actually *need* to write it on the cards; they choose to to avoid possible confusion in most cases.

With the painted tie I prefer to use her (Ashoka) as a decent bomber with scavenger crane and seismic charge. That way she can bomb people without receiving damage herself she also flies with Biggs to support my main hitter as she gives it an extra action. It's a pretty decent combo but you should really consider bomber Ashoka as a build if you want to include the tie, it's excellent for support and for damage.
