Which pilots have been consistently good since their introduction? Not necessarily the newest hottest thing in the Meta, but usually found around the top since their beginning.

I am a primary a Rebel player, so I have always seen these guys played, despite what is hot for the Meta.

Biggs Darklighter
Corran Horn
Poe Dameron
Dash Rendar

Any other Rebels? What are the pilots from the other factions?

Rey
Miranda Doni

Dengar

Maybe Omega Leader

Scouts/Dengar/Fenn/Asajj/Palob

Gold Ywing/Jess Pava/Lowhhrick/Kanan/Han

Quickdraw/OGP/RAC/Ryad/OL

Vessery.

Vader? He’s constantly evolving. He was ok with ordnance before that was a thing, had the best action economy for a long time, became an arc dodger and had his ship upgraded with a title. Palpy helped him be a dominate force and lately he’s been trying out Cruise Missiles.

Plus he totally crushes A-wings.

Biggs has been good ever since he was added to the game. I remember when he was released... good times.

Don't forget:

Rex

Inquisitor
Howlrunner
Pure Sabacc

Kath Scarlett
Serissu
Bossk
Kavil
N'Dru

Paul Heaver has been a pretty consistent pilot since release. He was OP when he dropped, and won every thing. He is still very powerful, but because of consistent power creep among the best pilots, there are others in the same tier of power now.

Countdown for survivability, Pure Sabacc for the shear amount of red die, Gold Squad/Sienar Specialist for the sole purpose of holding tlts

Rebels: Biggs, Miranda, Dash, Jess, Rex

Imps: Omega Leader, Quickdraw, OGP (used to be a lot more here before bombs)

Scum: Fenn, Dengar, Contracted Scout, Asajj

Not putting the Lowhhrick or the Nyms up there yet since they've only been around for one meta.

Kanan and Ahsoka can be added to that list to, their abilities are always useful

for Imperials Tomex, Vader and Fel still does well when flown by the pros

Classic Han in the Falcon also really rocks and can I say academy pilot? Haha

Among what's already listed, there's a group of people that seem to love Horton and/or Jake no matter what the meta says.

Scout

Dengar

Biggs

Miranda.

Pretty much nothing else has been consistently good since its release (i.e. not gone a single release without being top tier), and even Biggs is questionable. Nym will probably go on that list too (both sorts) but he's only been out for a few months and there's not been a release since, so calling him consistent is arguable.

Wampa.

Maybe it's just me, but that little guy is worth every penny in every list I drop him into. Either he gets ignored because he's "just a TIE", or his reputation precedes him and he becomes a 14 point distraction.

I could make an argument for the following Imps: Howlrunner, deathfire, ogp, ryad, rac, oicunn, whisper, omega leader, zeta leader, the inquisitor, pure sabacc, backdraft, quickdraw.

At least they have been consistent FOR ME.

Adding after their latest fix: darth vader, scrimitar sq, vessery, deltas

My snap/juke Greens wants to have a word with you

Horrible? Every minute with Vader was glorious gloriness. He handed the ‘heroes’ their asses as well as making all the lame bad guys look totally incompetent. Single handedly blowing away half the Pheonix Fleet seemed to be the precedent for his rage filled massacre on the Profundity.

but yeah TIE Advanced versus A-wings is a bad bad matchup.

Next up: rebels

Dash Rendar

Poe Dameron ps8

Jess Pava

Corran Horn

Miranda Doni

Shara Bey

Lothal Reb and Kanan

Biggs

Rex

I would say that Howlrunner and Biggs will never be horrible. Everything else can be power creeped.

IG88B

He may not be as popular anymore now that agility 1 is strong, but apparently he's showing up in control-cannon brobot lists now.
