TOKEN STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK

Hmmm... Lt. Lorrir in a JM5K? That would be quite the barrel roll.

Like.

Wampa in a Defender

Vader in a Defender

Soontir in a Defender

Inquisitor in a Defender

Jax in a Defender

Tomax in a Defender

....Defenders are fun ?

Vader in a PtL/AS Silencer? Mama mia, thats'a spicy action economy.

Inquisitor in a decimator? It's even feasible lore wise I think.

Major Rhymer in a gunboat! GUNBOAT

Scourge or Mauler Mithel in a TIE/D. Slap Expertise on them...... Profit


These might not be the bests, but sure would be fun.

Advanced Sensors doesn't help Vader at all, it costs him his extra action.

Right, forgot he only triggers in action phase. Whoopsie!

And this thread is why, unlike a certain other space combat game using the same system with a different IP, X-wing tied pilot abilities to specific ships. Cuts down on the number of potential design headaches when you have to remember to avoid things like the Blount ability + Ghost + TLT combo. It also lets them make more interesting abilities since they know what ship it's going to be tied to.

Hera in an A-Wing has been mentioned, but Hera in a Y-Wing has options too - specifically that if you select a red you can face in any direction at the end of it.

Classic Han in a Ghost has no small degree of punch, and Classic CHewie in a Ghost would take forever to kill.

Scum Boba in a Jumpmaster? I don't think it changes the S-loops but it does a lot to change that dial. Kavil in a Jumpmaster might be amusing too.

Actually, Jendon in a TIE Advanced might be fun.

Sarco Plank in a protectorate! or a lancer.

You know, Inquisitor in just about anything would be amazing.

So, Lt. Lorrir in a Kylo Shuttle with Expert Handling... How does that barrel roll work? Even if Lorrir doesn't have an EPT, I just want to think about it.

Wedge in a T-70, Tycho in a T-70, Corran in a T-70, Wes in a T-70, and Hobbie in a T-70, Keyan in a Y-wing.

Yes to all.

Ummm, I have not seen this yet, so either I am misunderstanding, or no one has said it, or I missed it, but....Epsilon Ace in a tie phantom.

Native three green dice, ps 12.

slap comm relay and eu or stealth, and you will never be hit again. (spoiler; you will, because fikle green dice said so).

Blount in a Tantive IV with ion cannons.
Corran in a Ghost.
Miranda in a K-wing (wait a second...)

Omega Ace in a Upsilon Shuttle with FCS, Swarm leader and a TIE swarm escort - up to 7 guaranteed crits per turn, from one shot.
Countdown in a Decimator with Yorr support. (113...112...111...)
Deathrain in a firespray (with bomblets, of course).

Unkar Plutt in a JM5k - for the ultimate bumpmaster
N'dru Suhlak in a KM5k - for the ultimate, 4 die PWT with Lone Wolf, etc.
Biggs in an IG-2000. If you have two within range 1 of each other, neither can be targeted for an attack...

Not "the best", but. Kir Kanos in a TIE Adv. Prototype would be better than being in his current ship.

I don't know about Corran in the Ghost; is one extra attack on one turn worth skipping attacks on the next turn?

Omega Leader in a Phantom: PS 10 shot, with FCS to make sure you can't modify your dice back, or ever again.
Epsilon Ace in a Phantom: Advanced Cloaking Device at PS 12!
Pure Sabaac in a Phantom would be terrifying, but for the PS 8 leaving him a teeny tiny bit fragile.

Carnor Jax in a Decimator has been mentioned, but remains terrifying.
Dark Curse in a in a Palpmobile. With a Sensor Jammer.

Fenn Rau in an Aggressor. Fenn Rau in a Scurrg (Hello, Autoblaster Turret!). Fenn Rau in a... let's just say that Fenn Rau synergises well in anything that is repositional, eh?
Bonus points: Mount Boba Fett in an Aggressor too... and then equip IG-2000 for the pair of them.

If it let you get a second range 1 shot with 5 dice and a Target Lock on the thing you just hit? Or a second go with the Autoblaster Turret against an ace that got caught in range? Absolutely.

You'd lose the comm relay, and at PS 12 you want Advanced Cloaking Device - he's great, but primarily in the "Never get out-PS'd" sense, not being intrinsically harder to kill. Still great, though.

dengar in a firespray?

Omega leader in a Decimator with a Weapons Engineer, Gunner+Vader(or Palp), PTL, and Engine Upgrade.

Would actually be crazy good in the current Meta. Lock both enemy ships. Laugh to victory.

While advanced would certainly be nice, Jendon in a tie bomber with lrs would be lovely.

tycho in a defender XP

Tycho/Hera in a b wing would be neat.

Sabine (pilot) in an a-wing or x-wing.

Nera in a k-wing.

Oiccunn in a tie fighter.

No one has mentioned Imp Fett in anything else! Oh wait, because he sucks I guess.

the ghost already had unavoidable 4 damage, AC with ACT. Just at range one.

Biggs in an ORS style YT1300 might work. Fairly cheap, just 6 points more than an x-wing for a PWT (2 Dice, sigh) and two crew like C-3po or Chewie or R2-D2, snuggling comp. for scavenger crane and counter measures, and don’t forget evade with MF title.

Or biggs in Sabines TIE for cloak and SPA. And Jan ORS Crew.

Also Miranda in a ghost.
