I loved him in X-Wing 1.0. Now that I have the first few games of 2.0 under my belt I begin to wonder: What is he actually good for... beside IN5?
His ability not only sucks (you barely ever get the chance to do a red reload action), there are nearly NO Talent-Upgrades that are useful to him.
- Crackshot? Cheap, but hard to line up with a Bomber. More luck to activate that then actual skill. But does not work for Torpedos or Rockets. So why even bother.
- Elusive? 1 Reroll on a green die and I have to recharge that with a red action? Why not just take a focus that offers approximately the same in defense``? And you can recharge it anyway with a red maneuver (which you are going to do a lot - because often you don´t need to spend your TL - because of your buddy Jonus).
-Lone Wolf? Recharges anyway.
Did I forget anything? Maybe we see a few more worthwile taking in the future. But as it stands now it they just make no sense and I think they were a little bit to harsh with nerfing his main ability.
I just keep playing him for my alpha strike list because of IN5... which makes me sad. His ability description could be empty and i would not notice any difference.
