Sry I do not want to be unconstructive. But I just can't gbet my head around why he sould be better against a better pilot? I do not get it? Why should he be better at dodging Han or Vader than an acadamy tie?

It's a matter of making lower-PS pilots a bit more viable.

"White knuckles" could be the name with a Lowe ps restrictions

I understand that. What I do not understand is how this fits the fluff. Yes for some people that is a thing.

Look. As a Science Fiction writer, I understand how important fluff is.

However, if this game were to prioritize fluff, very little could beat TIE Defenders or Phantoms, and The Falcon would never, ever be lost.

If anything needs a nerf, it is clearly vader and quickdraw.

Oh, another topic where bunch of people instead of talking with some sense about this game try to fix things that don't even need fixing....

Not prioritizing != Throwing it all out of the window.
All I want to say is that the fluff is weak for this EPT or prehaps the fluff was nether where. You can decide that is too good a game mechanic to dismiss it because of missing fluff sure.
Anyway I see to much other weaknesses in this draft. Starting withe the attempt to fix low PS-Ships with an EPT.

Well you can't really do a catch-all title. But who cares if there's fluff to support it?

There's no fluff to support Kylo Ren fighting Porkins, but it's probably happened somewhere in some X-Wing game.

I do!
And I am the first one who would be in favor for separating Timelines

You're not the first one for sure.

But gameplay > fluff. Every time. It has to, or else you're not playing a game, you're playing a simulation. More like a simulacrum, in this game's case.

Yes, but (gameplay > fluff) != (wee don't care at all about fluff).
So all I want to establish is that this Idea for an EPT dosn't make any sense from a thematic perspective. And I do not like that cause it stresses my suspension of disbelieve.

Just give it name "Natural Talent" or "Lucky Newbie"

I see it all time; people are sometimes natural born into a skill set, regardless of training and experience.
