I know you have a thing about RZ-2s, but what's wrong with 4 t70 or 3 + kaz archetypes? Or throw Cova in one of those maybe?

Resistance is one of the three factions I give a flip about, but I'm also less than thrilled with what's available in HS. C'mon, no Rey? She's like one of the "happeningest" pilots they have.
Still, if meat and potatoes with a little spice is acceptable, this might be a fun HS list. Hullroics plus.

Not a whole lot going on in the shenanigans department, but then again there's always Scum.

I have been moderately enjoying 5-6 ship variants on Resistance in hyperspace. If your not running 5 RZ2A or Ello Nien Zizi Tali, and possibly Poe+3....I think the key is to avoid 4 ship lists and run more ships. 4 T70 + Rose, Zizi Kaz Rose XX, Poe Zizi Rose Ronith Colossus, etc. Resistance has a # of really excellent mid-range pilots with Rose, Bastian, and Kaz being my favorites. Resistance players seem actively committed to not mixing in those pilots and I am not 100% sure why. If you are a dedicated Resistance player in hyperspace you really should at minimum be giving careful thought to how you can mix 26 pt 🌹 in to lists.

The query was specifically hyperspace.

That was my point: I'd like to see her stuff HS legal.
I don't know Rey well, (didn't even know she wasn't HS), but I know she shenanigans well. She is the exact sort of thing that has been toned down in the format, which is one of the main reasons for its popularity.
Rey can be exceedingly BS.
It's a shame when you like those pilots, but I'm behind the reasoning.

Fair enough. I'm coming from the standpoint of a n00b reading the cards and thinking, "cool." I get what HS is supposed to be about, and I support the intent. Just geeking,

Challenge accepted. Of late I've been enticed by the fun to be had with Scum lists but I'll make a point of trying to be more experimental with Resistance theorycrafting. Here's a rough first draft at inviting Rose to the party.
Rose Tico (26)

Korr Sella (6)

Ello Asty (55)

Kazuda Xiono (40)

R4 Astromech (2)
Deadman's Switch (2)
Kaz's Fireball (2)
Ship total: 47 Half Points: 24 Threshold: 3
Total: 200
I struggled a bit over what to add to Rose, as I'm (possibly mistakenly) thinking she's there in a support role rather than to dive in and shoot stuff. I figured adding a coordinate helps fulfill that mission and Korr because red coordinate. I'm still not clear on what Kaz brings to the mix apart from seeming lots of fun, but there he is.
EDIT: I did some tweaking, and moved that over to the squad lists thread since that's the place for this sort of thing.

The great part about Hyperspace is that FFG can restrict some her toys. Losing Finn or Rose changes her drastically.
Thats some weird looking glue. As an R player I don’t think I can snort that.

Oh, wait... Hyperspace?
What's that?
Edited by BucknifeOfficial Wave 7 Carolina Krayts X-Wing Thread Casual Night Hyperspace Meta:
Usually when a new wave releases I have a ton of fun going to a local store and testing everything across all factions. This should capture some of that energy 
. Looks like a cool game fun time set of lists to play with or play against.
FO- something nippy and basic, all Silencer + BA.
Rebel- ??. Luke? VCX?? Um. Jake?
Empire- Vader, Feroph, Baron, Baron.
CIS- Grievous, DBS-404, fill with FrisbeeVulture nonsense.
Resistance. Rey, X-Wing, something else.
Republic. Plo, Warthog, 2x Squad Seven.

So, is Rose an actual combat-effective pilot in her own right, rather than just a vehicle to bring in some support slots? I'm still struggling trying to envision how she fits in, and it seems some lists just include her without additional mods.

You get all of the below stuff for 26 pts. Thats pretty good in its own right and more modification than most things in that range can offer in a single ship. Don't think I have ever used an upgrade on it. Have had a decent # of games where Rose puts considerable damage on a couple targets. I think of her as i3 FO Rivas. Serves a similar function with a slower dial instead of a zoomy dial.
Cool, thanks for the insight. 🍻

Spoiler alert:
Finn and Rose Pods, with or without upgrades, are the best T70s in Resistance.

Would it be worth grabbing ATP for 1 point? More free mods isn't a bad thing, but the restriction might be meh.
