Poe is currently my very favourite pilot :)

So after perusing this lovely thread what I'm seeing is to achieve optimal Poe:

For EPT either Lone Wolf, Predator, Intensity, or Veteran Instincts

For Tech either: Advanced Optics, Comm Relay, or Prime Thrusters

For Astromech: R2D2 for regen, or BB8 for positioning/action economy, or Flight Assist Astromech for maneuverability

And everyone is pretty much always taking Auto-thrusters and Title.

Anyone wanna tell me what I missed and or give pros vs cons??? I'm trying to get a good Poe/Rey list ready.

M9G8 not needed

Yep, everyone agrees you should always take Autothrusters and the Title.

The others depends on playstyle and the rest of your build, oh and the meta.

I'd rule out M9-G8 and insert Flight Assist Astromech.

Yeah M9-G8 is Gr8 for a wingman but not for Poe.

No lie. Oscar Isaac is a stone fox.

There's also the option of PS9 Poe, Debris Gambit, R2D2, Advanced Optics, Title, Autothrusters. With a focus on AO, Poe can choose to be tanky, janky, or targetlocky without having to worry about flipping a card after using his tokens.

My favourite Poe build coming into new meta:

Cheap Poe for 31 pts (PS 8) equipped with:
Veteran Instincts, Advanced Optics, Title, Autothrusters, R2D2
In total 41 pts, enough to put fully loaded Expertise Rey as Wingman.

Unless PS wars will force me to field PS 11 Poe I don't see a reason to take 33 pts Poe over 31 pts Poe when Advanced Optics are here, with the exception of some Intensity play.
