what do u lot think?

Drop R4 and Trick for R3?

Edited by JBFancourt

So go for rerolling, over extra maneuverability and an extra dice when shooting through cover? Also for all of them?

Ah no, the Ewings. But yeah, why Wedge? He’s not stressing himself.

Ewings I have found are in an odd spot. I normally want the focus for my defense so the action economy of the red locks are..... less than ideal. I tend to fly R3 and FCS. Lock two ships first round then take focus rest of the game.

Granted acquiring new locks when necessary, but rarely do I need the extra blue on my dial.

Average list only has 3-4 ships and you mostly keep your locks with FCS.

Drop Wedges R4 for R3x2 and keep trick?

Wedge doesn't need R4. If you put R3 on an E wing, it would really help to also have FCS. R3 isnt super important since you can just get a new lock if needed.

better?

I think so, but thats juat based on my flying style. I like having lots of blue options after a stressful move. Wedge does get a lot out of a bid though. The E wings should always be able to have a lock on a ship since they can lock beyond range 3. So they would lock on an approach and then attack with/without spending the lock. FCS is nice to reroll just one die, which I do more than I spend the lock to reroll multiple.

This one has been fun to fly. Depending on your flying style there are several other pilot skills that can be changed out to replace Elusive and lone wolf.

2 x Knaves (FCS, R3)

Wedge (Predator, R3, SFoils)

More action economy, and they don't need the blues
