Double crew slots modification at super-cheap for-the-win.

Blue Sqdrn. Pathfinder (23 pts)

Wookie Commandos (1)

Sensor Jammer (4)

=28 points with nice passive offense/defense mods.

4 Pathfinders with Commandos and Electronic Baffle.

Treat them like suicide dead-man switch z95s and charge-in, guns blazing.

Pull off those stop manuevers and take the damage from Baffle. Who cares.

Just plain fun.

Gift to generic yt-1300 pilots as well....

Sympathizer (38)

w.commandos(1)

Frankly, you just fly this guy at range and perimeter the enemy, and that's some ANNOYING pressure to chase him and take him down for 39 pts (19 for halfing).

generic VCX-100 with advances sensors/accuracy corrector, auto blaster turret and wookiee commandos could be strong. you can double up and still have enough points to put zeb in the shuttle on one.

You just block with this guy and/or take range-1 shots on your opponent

Cr-90 with Tantive IV Title appreciate this gem too !

I've thought about Resistance Sympathizer with Wookie Commandoes and the Evade MF title (I'd rather save a damage per turn than one total point in the list). Seems like it'd take a lot to kill that 40 points.

But then I think, I could get Miranda Doni with TLT, Sabine or Jan Ors, and Bomblets for the same price, probably do a lot more damage, and be not much easier to kill.

Wookie Commandos is "meh" with one attack, I think. It's half a focus token, and you'll really want some action other than Focus or Target Lock to take, since neither really will provide full value. I'm kind of in love with Wired, and thought a lot about the basic structure of the card. When you can combine Wired or Wookies with an Evade action, or a Boost or Barrel Roll, that's where they seem to get reasonable value.

When you can attack multiple times, then it really starts to shine. A title-Ghost (60 points minimum) with TLT is throwing 4 attacks a turn, and the half-a-focus Wookies add per attack really adds up, essentially a free Recon Specialist. On top of this, the Ghost is able to evade every turn, or perhaps Boost with an Engine Upgrade. Even without a title, a TLT Lothal Rebel with Wookie Commandos is 42 points, and will get the equivalent of a full focus from the Wookies over your two attacks, and can Evade.

Unfortunately for the Uwing, the Auzituck is still just better. Why sensor jammer turning 1 hit to an eyeball, when a reinforce adds an evade every attack aka WAY BETTER!

Wookiee Liberator (26)
Lightning Reflexes (1)
Wookiee Commandos (1)

Total: 28

Same cost, has reinforce, has EPT which I used to turn it around, higher PS, 180 arc.

I love the Uwing, but unless you really need that big base, Auzituck beats it in every way.

Because the U-wing's Pivot Wing title does give it Agility 2 and it has a focus token it's not using for anything but defence.

The Wookie has:

• Agility 1, unmodified
• Reinforce Token

Meaning 1 3/8 evades against each incoming attack

The U-wing has:

• Agility 2, focused
• Sensor Jammer

Meaning he's less effective against massed focused attacks (6/8 evades, about half as much), against one or two unfocused attacks he's massively tougher (effectively 2 2/8 evades, or about twice as tough).

The reality is probably somewhere between the two these days - 2-3 attacks but most of them focused, so assuming 2 focused and one unfocused attack, and 2 focused and one unfocused defence (because on average it takes about 2 rolls of 2 dice to spend a focus token usefully), you get:

focused attack/focused defence - 1 2/8 evades (nearly but not quite as good as the auzituck)

unfocused attack/unfocused defence 1 3/8 evades (almost exactly the same as the auzituck).

Meaning that it works out about the same as the wookie gunship.

The U-wing does have a couple of advantages, though:

• Sensor Jammer is not dependent on actions.
• The Auzituck does have to commit its reinforce token to a given facing - which may be an issue when either you 'guess wrong' against an especially elusive opponent (say a TIE phantom coming in from the flank) or you're in a crossfire from two or more separate enemies.

Of course you've got to off-set this against the Auzituck's much superior firing arc and the fact that lightning reflexes can be triggered without a 1-turn 'windup'.
