I think AS is the way to go. The title already gives a reroll, albeit under limited circumstances. But AS is just so good on an arc dodger. The build I'm thinking of is the following:

PTL + AS + PA + AT + Title

While AS and PA may seem redundant, they actually combo very well together. With PA you will always be unstressed after using PTL. And because you're always unstressed, AS is always open to use whenever you need it. Without PA you have to make sure you don't PTL the round before you use AS. AS + PA gives the ship so much flexibility it's ridiculous. The only limitation is it doesn't help much against PS9+ ships.

I think you take FCS for the "budget build". FCS, VI, Autos is basically Kylo version of Quickdraw. Faster, better defense, with ISYTDS instead of the counterpunch. 40 points is a chunk more, but fits right in with Quickdraw and Omega Leader, which actually seems like a pretty good squad right now.

Shhhh.... don't spoil my build!

It's good against Nym but I don't like having a single action ace. He's not exactly a brawler like Quickdraw. Being able to pair him with OL and QD does seem enticing though. I'm almost tempted to go for the Title over FCS. Weaker offense but you get that once-per-game bad defense roll insurance.

I think in the budget build, you don't think of him as an ace, more of a hybrid. Much like Quickdraw, but with competencies tweaked a little. Stronger vs turrets, but less up front punch. This is very dial dependent, of course.

Personally, I think the only question is whether the PS4 has an EPT.

I have been wondering this same thing! Ostensibly, the high ps base generic implies that only pilots of a certain aptitude can even fly this thing, so make with the EPT, FFG.

Rage might be really really good on advanced sensors Kylo if something else at R1-2 is rockin Inspiring Recruit.

I'm thinking the new title which give situational rerolls and helps survive the occasional "blank out" of green dice that kills Imperial ships and access to both re-position abilities will push the ship more towards Advanced Sensors being used most. The title is not as effective as FCS or Sensor Jammer, but it uses the Title "slot" freeing up the rest of the ships slots (example: reduces the need for EPT slot Predator or Sensor slot FCS for rerolls) and is only a couple points.

The real choice for me will be the EPT.
