We've been waiting for it since the release of the original T-65 Expansion Pack.... where are X-Wing Rogue Squadron Pilots? In addition, we've all been waiting for a T-65 fix. So for fun..I've taken on the challenge of buffing the T-65 and thematically adding in Rogue Squadron!

Step 1: How to Add a T-65 Title that doesn't break Biggs ?

• Biggs is PS 5. With Veteran Instincts he is PS 7 (via R2-D6 adding EPT).
• Therefore, Title should read: You cannot equip this if your pilot skill value is "7" or lower.

Step 2: Include all Rogue Squadron Pilots from Star Wars EU

• Current X-Wing Unique Pilots by PS

o 2 – Tarn Mison

o 5 – Biggs Darklighter

o 5 – Derek “ Hobbie ” Klivian (Rogue Squadron in EU )

o 6 – Garven Dreis

o 7 – Jek Porkins (Rogue Squadron in EU )

o 8 – Luke Skywalker (Rogue Squadron in EU )

o 8 – Wes Janson (Rogue Squadron in EU )

o 9 – Wedge Antilles (Rogue Squadron in EU )

• Additional X-Wing Rogue Squadron Pilots in EU

o Tycho Celchu (Current A-Wing Pilot)

o Gavin Darklighter (Bigg’s Cousin)

o Corran Horn (Current E-Wing Pilot)

o Dak Ralter

o Zev Senesca

o Kasan Moor

• Step 1 regulates to PS 8 Pilots. This would eliminate only “ Hobbie ” Klivian. Oh well.
• Step 1 would mean that only Luke , Wes , and Wedge could use the title without spending EPT on Vet Instincts. Bonus for them!
• The “Rogue Squadron” Expansion Pack could include cards for Gavin, Dak, Zev, and Kasan (all between PS 6-8).
• The “Rogue Squardon” Expansion Pack could include a PS9 Jedi Luke Skywalker (Perhaps his ability could work on offense too?)

Step 3: Buff the T-65 with the title

• Add maneuverability to X-Wing, Title Reads: Your Action Bar gains the Boost Action
• Add Customability to Ship, Title Reads: Your Upgrade Bar gains the System Upgrade Icon
• There are 100 different ways this could go! Reduce ship cost, 2 ^nd modification, add a 2 ^nd EPT, etc…

Step 4: Fix E-Wing too?

• Corran Horn was in Rogue Squadron. Therefore, the Title could read: X-Wing or E-Wing only
• A 2 ^nd System Slot on E-Wing could be interesting.
• Perhaps Gavin, Dak, Zev, or Kasan could be released as E-Wing Pilots.

Anyway, just having fun with the Star Wars Extended Universe, my love for Rogue Squadron, and exploring the game mechanics of X-Wing. Have a nice day!

I think the easiest fix is the simplest... errata Integrated Astromech to be a title

Seems a little too complicated picking and choosing what specific pilots, even for FFG, and leaves out generics who also need help. I also don't think the fix for the T-65 should be to add things like Boost action which just makes them even more of a weaker T-70. The fix should make them more unique compared to the T-70, not more of the same.

For example we see the T-65's barrel rolling all over the place in Rogue One. Give them all a barrel roll instead of the boost.

Name: Evasive Maneuvers (0)
Type: Title
Restrictions: X Wing Only
Text: When you are assigned a red target lock token you may perform a Barrel Roll.

This doesn't help Biggs much because barrel rolling out of arc defeats the purpose of his ability, though he may avoid an alpha strike volley. You also can't take it at the same time as Black One, so is less helpful to the T-70 aces.
