Redline is just cheap muscle, with some action economy to boot.

Rexler is doing defender things, juking and flip flopping around.

The ties are there as filler, seyn's ability can help rexler push crits early in the game.

Valen is just cheap action efficiency

Thoughts?

To do what, though?

If all he's doing is getting a free evade after he or someone nearby has already been shot, Night Beast does something similar for less points, and has the evade available when the first shot rolls in.

The other pilots are all good, I'm just not sure Valen achieves anything in particular compared to, say, Night Beast or a Black Squadron Ace with Crack Shot.

How about using the Lambda for support? Coordinating Rexler vast action bar?

I get the desire for a Lambda to use it's co-ordinate ability, but if using the T-4a as a co-ordinate buddy, is Jendon really that relevant? I guess he lets Rexler and Redline roll into combat with target locks picked up on round 1, but Rexler (a) doesn't really need a lock - he has no ordnance - and (b) has a high enough initiative to have acquired it himself as his action. Redline getting lock/focus torps is nice but that's about it.

Krennic seems like a weird choice. Rexler, and Redline's torpedoes, already allow you to do face-up damage pretty easily, and if you're holding the lock for Krennic you're either not spending it or replacing it every turn at a cost of co-ordinating the /D and /ca.

Krennic is there to allow Jandon acquire a TL himself with his long range ability.

The Jandon could held increase the punch. Rexler could have a TL, focus and a Evade for the first strike.

Rex wants a lock entering combat. lock focus evade is strong and redline has 2 locks Jendon is great all the lambdas are fantastic. Cordinate is too good, redline has advanced sensors without taking advanced sensors.
