Ten numb has a really cool pilot ability on a ship I really like, and I'd like to analyze some of his options.
• debris gambit: gives him basically evade+focus, which isn't as good on a 1 agilty ship but still helpful, also, you don't HAVE to take the stress if you're by a rock.
• squad leader: puts him in a sort of combat-support hybrid, but is he worth taking over other 3 dice support ships?
Am I missing anything? Are there better loadouts for him? Or is he better naked?
Discuss.
AdSen. Lock then red, rinse and repeat
AS is solid although less so with the rule change.
I have played him with Squad Leader and he was decent enough, probably paying a bit more for him than you'd want to. He's similar utility to Sai in Imperials (Sai tankier with +2 hp and reinforce, but uses his rear arc from a certain point in the game onwards whereas Ten can keep his 3 dice going a bit longer.)
Sai is like 7(ish) points cheaper than SL Ten? I think at 46 base he'd see a lot more play, maybe 47 just to be sure he's not too cheap.

Don't forget with Debris that if you are in R1 of a rock (obstacle) then the Eva WILL be white, and you can't take the stress.

Can you stress with debris gambit even if you are by an asteroid?

Cracken fires, letting ten numb coordinate a target lock to dutch who gives a lock back to ten numb and now both fire full modded proton torps onto whatever ship lands in front of them. Arvel does arvel things and if in close range, cracken can boost him into enemies.
Works nicely. I havent tried arvel in this squad, I had an xwing for more red dice. Was the first 2.0 squad I flew and fell in love with Dutch.
Adv Sensors and Elusive.
I was a big advocate for Debris Gambit on him originally, but now I'm just not sure there's any point trying to get cute with him.
Between the red on the dial and the barrel roll into red focus, he gets stressed enough as it is. Lock when you can, roll when you need to.
I feel like Crack Shot or Predator or Heavy Laser Cannon (not both! they don't stack!) could be good on either named B-Wing. Red actions or linked barrel rolls to get a bullseye, then blaze away. If ever there's a meta where low-Initiative Large Base Ships (maybe even Medium Base) are potent, 54 points each for HLC Ten and Braylen seems really strong. Predator seems like a better cheap option on Ten, and Crack Shot on Braylen. Getting rerolls helps Ten spend his stress, and having result-deletion on Braylen seems better than more rerolls.
List Concept: Bullseye.
I'm not a mad fan of any B-Wing, but if I had to play one it'd be Squad Leader Ten.
