So I see this little droid is in the Resistance Kit. Really curious as I haven’t seen the spoiled card. From what I saw in YASB 2.0. It’s still doing what it did but now has charges, making it an alternative to Collision Detector, for the same 5 points. Biggest question is; is the droid limited to just Resistance?

If so it’s really significant as a tool though it maybe underutilized for the T-70’s. If it isn’t limited the Rebels may actually have the best ships to make use of it with the Cavern Angels or even the E-wings. Pairing the droid with the CA’s and a cloaking device could make them comparable for a few rounds to Phantoms in maneuverability. E-wings could then also make better use of the dial, and use a different system upgrade instead of Collision Detector should the desire.

It is.

I imagine it could do some sterling work with the more mobile T-70 pilots. Ello being able to pull a Talon Roll through a rock and still get an action is amazing in a tight obstacle field, and being able to do that two turns in a row means even the 100 point force-powered supernatural reflexes crowd are going to struggle to hang onto his coat-tails.

While this makes me a sad panda, I do get it. The big surprise was the continued no sensor slot in the T-70. In fact I don’t think any resistance ships have one currently. That being said this one makes up for that, even if it is limited. Seeing as Resistance lineups are supposedly going to be fewer ships with bigger load outs. As much as people will talk about POE with BB-8 and Black one. I can see Black One working really well with R5-X3. Slamming and then boost through rocks or even slamm through rocks into a Talon roll ... just lists of options.

I just wonder if he’ll see play. His one time due was a deterrent in 1.0. Now with a couple of uses he might be worth it. Though will people be willing to try him over BB’s or M9-G8?

The bomber has one.

Mind you, if the bomber wants collision protection then it can also take ablative plating (being a larger ship) - which also gives it the option to protect itself from "danger close" bomb detonations.
