I want to hear from the x-wing community. What is your favorite pilot ability and why. Remember there's no wrong answers. I'm interested to hear from all of you!

Torkil Mux.

I love sending Vader, Wedge, or Ten Numb, etc down to pilot skill 0!

That's hilarious!

i love Deathrains ability, too bad he is way too expensive for what he does. Still an extremely fun ship.

Furthermore, I believe that Michael should be compensated by FFG.

Nice!

I'm biased since I mostly fly X-Wings, but I love Poe's and Wedge's ability. Wedge can be an absolute killer, and Poe is such a well balanced ship.

For me it's Echo....

Opponent sees echo on the board,"what's that?"

Me.." oh that's echo, it look scary but that's because you don't know where she is going to go.....actually I don't even know where echo is going to go.really....the thing is...nobody knows where echo is going to go."

Dace Bonearm. Not really applicable to many lists but rarely do you find free, guaranteed damage for something as simple as receiving a stress token.

A tie between Oicunn and Deathrain for me. THere's a reason that's my casual post-major-tournament just-wanna-chill-and-not-roll-many-dice list.

Tarn Mison W/ M9-G8 "Oh did you like that roll? How about you try again."

Luke Skywalker "It hits wait, there's a focus, It missed."

Lt. Blount W/ Adv. Homing missiles "Nice Ace. Howa bout I kill it. What do you mean you don't want my 20 point ship to kill your 40 point one."

Yeah, Echo is really squirrely. She's one of 2 ships that can end up behind where they were originally, and the only one that can do it without stressing.

I know he's a bit overpriced, but as far as "best pilot ability", I say Darth Vader.

When combined with his high PS, his ability to double up on actions is great, especially if combined with Engine Upgrade. You can boost yourself into perfect firing position, and still be able to focus/target lock to make sure you max out the damage. Or for more dodginess, you can boost then barrel roll to get out of a firing arc/range increment.

2 actions a turn. Simple, but effective.
