4. Nu Pilot

  • XG-1
  • Linked Battery
  • OS-1
  • Jamming Beam
  • The **** off my shoe
  • Saturation Salvo

  • Nu Squadron Pilot
  • Rho Squadron Pilot
  • Major Vynder
  • Lieutenant Karsabi

Pretty much agree on the upgrade cards.

I rate the pilots like this:

1. Rho

2. LT. Karsabi

3. Nu

4. Maj. Vnyder

I think Karasabi is going to fly under the radar. He's the best HLC carrier in the lot, being able to fire the HLC after SLAMs. The stress really won't kill you too much as you'll be able to re-position with a two speed SLAM if your aren't blocked. I really like:

Lieutenant Karsabi (24)
Crack Shot (1)
Heavy Laser Cannon (7)
Long-Range Scanners (0)
XG-1 Assault Configuration (1)

Total: 33

The Major is just too pricey. He can get to PS 9, but that's not that great anymore. By the time you outfit him, he's in the mid 30 point range.

I'd do:

Karsabi:

Wired

HLC

XG-1

Jamming Beam

AHM or Ion Pulse

EM

Karsabi (24)

Predator (3), XG-1 (1), HLC (7), LB (2)
37P

Gets 2-3 Rerolls even if stressed
