The best ships are obviously Firesprays and ARC-170s but people are all talking about other things. Stop it.
There is a lack of threads about the best ships on the front page
All praise the mighty GUNBOAT!

If it doesn't have a rear arc it can go home.

I see a thread about Defenders, the Tie Advanced, and the ever-present Gunboat thread.
As am Imperial player I don't see the problem here... 
the best ship is the A-Wing.
What we should be really talking about is... what will the resistance RZ2 be like? When will it be spoiled. Will I fly anything but? I will need at least a dozen different Tali Lintra pilot alt arts and will circulate them regardless if she is a good pilot in the game or not.
There is NO TIE INTERCEPTOR THREAD and it annoys me. I love Squints and I expect them to dominate everything for the rest of time, mostly because they are pointy and beautiful.
B-Wings... And I’m really worried about them in v2. They weren’t survivable in v1 unless spammed (up until TLT hit the tables). V2 doesn’t look to be doing them any favors with a dial that red.

I was going to include Interceptirs in my list of best ships, but then I noticed the other two both had rear arcs so I thought I’d limit it to rear arc ships. But yes. Talk more about interceptors.

But don’t their pilots all love being stressed? B-Wings are, of course, also the best ships, so they certainly should be made awesome again. I seem to remember them hitting really hard in the computer games, I think they should have 4 reds!

HLC. The bullseye arc mechanic is wonderful. Makes it cheaper. I’m wondering if I can spam 4x B’s with HLC.

Oh, do they have cannon slots? I’d forgotten that. Yeah, perfect then - little knife fighting barrel rolling b-wings should be great at getting ships in their BE arcs. Although not necessarily if you’re going low initiative, or doing the red moves...

Sort of... Keyan (Ten Numb in v2) can spend stress like a focus. The second named pilot in the conversion kit has a sightly better version of Ibtism’s v1 ability, allowing you to reroll up to 2 die when attacking/defending. The problem however is named B-Wing pilots have always been super fragile, and pricey. While generics were just a meat-wall with 8 hits and access to Barrel-Roll and a system.
In v2 they’re just getting a 1-speed Tallon Roll, and a Roll -> Red Focus, on one of the reddest dials in the game. Generics won’t be at the PS to really make use of the linked action as effectivey, while also having to shed stress the following turn. Ten Numb can shed stress for focus, so the roll to focus is even less useful for him. And Not-Ibtism v2 still has to shed that stress, which will make his gimmick a lot more predictable. So right now with what we know B-Wings will likely have, it’s going to be a 1-agility cannon/system carrier that lacks an astro slot (Y-Wings and K-Wings are better for ordnance thanks to Reload). We might be able to plug a Gonk into the backseat of one, but I wouldn’t bank on that for survivability.
All hail the king of 2.0
