So these two factions were the strongest argument for a truncated format. Granted as they have less ships that can be a disadvantage in terms of game play and balance. Since all the ships are in Hyperspace format I will be giving each ship from the conversion kit one unique pilot and 1 non-unique pilot. Keep in mind even f I included all pilots they still wont match the number of pilots the 3 1st edition factions have. But it should be more aligned with all factions and easier for players starting with only 2nd edition expansions, although the 1stOrder will still be the faction least friendly to new players.

Resistance

• T-70 X-wing
  • All Pilots
• RZ-2 A-wing
  • All Pilots
• MG-100 StarFortress
  • *Finch Dallow [4]
  • Cobalt Squadron Bomber [1]
• Scavenged YT-1300 Light Freighter
  • *Rey [5]
  • Resistance Sympathizer [2]

1st Order

• TIE/fo Fighter
  • All Pilots
• TIE/sf Fighter
  • *Quickdraw [6]
  • Omega Squadron Expert [3]
• TIE/vn Silencer
  • *Kylo Ren [5]
  • First Order Test Pilot [4]
• Upsilon Class Shuttle
  • *Lt. Dormitz [2]
  • Starkiller Base Pilot [2]

So some players have said it might be better to up the limit for extended ships to 2 unique pilots and 1 non-unique pilot. With these two factions I am obliged to agree. Restricting a ship from extended to a single unique pilot is a great population control method as the most you will see on that table is 1. Of course if you need more than one of a certian ship then you just add in a non-unique pilot taking the limit up to 8 (the game max). Restricting to 2 unique might be just as balanced but it does open up more build options. I might add Chewbacca in addition to Rey. Quickdraw is in there as the 1stOrder's only I6 pilot. This is before the initial versions of the new Hyper-extended competitive format. If you think I should switch out a pilot, or add a pilot in please leave a comment below.

On a mostly unrelated note, it would be interesting to have a format where you can only have one unique pilot per list. Drea would probably have to be banned, and maybe Howlrunner too.

so in variants section of the app, there is a format called Playing Favorites (v2) which is every ship has only 1 pilot. But I am trying to make an actual format that bridges between 2nd edition and extended. Some sort of Hyper-extended format if you would.

But back on topic, as for Resistance and 1stOrder pilots do you think the selection is vast enough or should more be added?

These guys barely have anything to take away. Which is probably why FFG decided to just put all of them in Hyperspace.

true, that and also the fact that one of those factions only has 1 re-released ship. I'll probably add more pilots to the 1st Order, and Chewbacca to the YT-1300s and call it good.
