The wild card right now for buying multiple Saw’s Renegade is “Flight-Assist Astromech”. In a 5 X-wing list, you need 5 Flight Assist. Only place to get them is Saw’s or Sheathipede. Not sure why they included multiple copies of S-Foils and Retrofit but only one copy of Flight Assist. If they did it to encourage the purchase of multiple copies then why not include just one Servo and one Retrofit?

Because you don't NEED FFA.

It's the most impactful 1 point Astro, sure, but you could fly a lot of pilots optimally without it (r2d2 Luke, m9g8 tarn, r2/r4-d6 Biggs, r7-t1 that ps 5 renegade guy, bb8 that ps 7 renegade guy...)

You NEED renegade refit

Right, but I was referring to a 5 x-wing list. With Rookie Pilot, Retro and Servo, you’re at 19 points each. What other 1 point Astromech makes sense across that list?

R2 Astro isn't bad, though not as good as FAA.

There's no reason at all to expect a standalone x-wing expansion. That's never happened before.

Totally unexpected but we got our answer!!!

Yep.

A lot of things that never happened before just happened for the first time!
