Leia as a Falcon pilot

Wh- how was he-...

Anyway, Leia's actually flown the N1 Starfighter as well, but honestly- FFG doesn't seem very interested in making her a pilot of any ship, which is honestly quite the bummer.

Yes, that 3 minute old baby will be a pilot...

He was talking about the ST's "new" Republic Resistance. ;)

If Leias ship blows up she can become a crew on another ship within range 3

Make her a mobile remote like the probe droid :P

Isn’t that Resistance Leia?

Taking the controls for a bit is not the same as being a Pilot of a craft. I think she will be in an N-1 and a Y for maybe both Rebel and Republic. Could easily be done if they are going to bring out card/pilot packs

May I ask.. according to canon sources, why should Leia be in a N-1 or a Y-Wing?

It's funny when you ask for Canon sources, when not all ships in the game are Canon. Go figure.

The Battlefront 2 single player story missions are Canon and Leia flew an N-1 in defense of Naboo after Iden and Del defected in one.

That's a tie-in with the comics (Star Wars: Shattered Empire). I was onto that a long time ago.

It was just out of curiosity since the N-1 appears only in the first prequel movie when Leia wasn't even born, and I did not know that it appeared in games or comics, much less with her flying one of those.

I'd have to replay it, but I'm pretty **** sure in Battlefront 2 that Iden did not defect in an N-1. Nor does she ever fly one in that game. She flies tie fighters and X-Wings, mostly. Although there is one mission where you're flying a cloud car because that's all that was available. When she defects, it's with the Imperial transport ship her squadron had been assigned which Iden and Del hyjacked in order to save civilians.

Have to reread Shattered Empire as well, but I don't think she flies a fighter in that either. Leia's role has typically been ground commando or ship based battlefield commander.

Leia, Shara Bey, and Queen Soruna fly N-1 Starfighters in issue 3 of Shattered Empire - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Shattered_Empire_3

Can't wait to see the new striker pilot ! :)

I always thought that one could change the Arielons to Hard ones and another could use 2's instead of 1's.

Leia literally is visible in an N1 in the mission. Nice job paying attention.

Where does it say Resistance Only?

Everybody can have this. Why is everybody mad about it? Don't say, "I shouldn't have to buy X for Y" - that's always been FFG's model.

In all fairness, the space battles can be rather chaotic and have very little lead in. And Leia is shown to be on the bridge of a ship more often then not. But I do know for a fact that in SW Battlefield 2 (The one featuring Iden, not the older one) Iden doesn't defect in an N-1.

That said, I did notice they finally released info on the contents of the Hotshots & Aces pilot pack. And Leia (Modified YT-1300) is one of the Rebel Alliance pilot cards. No idea what her pilot ability will be, of course. That's not one of the cards the article spoilered.

Side note: Anyone else find it ironic that the Rebel millennium falcon expansion includes the Modified Cargo Chute illicit upgrade, but they removed the illicit slot from the modified YT-1300?

Resistance has the only ship with Slam and an illicit slot.

🤨 When Wave 6 releases the Fireball will be the only ship with both the SLAM action (which is required to equip the upgrade, that is what the little grey box in the corner is, requirements) and an Illicit slot. Right now that makes it Resistance only. That 2 copies are coming in Hotshots and Aces is currently an insult...

Sure, everyone can have it, but only the Fireball can use it.

Which is kind of pathetic since illicit is primarily a scum upgrade slot and all the existing ones are pretty lame. We were looking for another decent illicit option. Instead, we got more or less of an insult 😕

She doesn't even need a ship. See Episode 8.

I speculate that we’ll get some kind of SLAM-add card at some point. Perhaps a Burnout SLAM done as a Modification.

I dunno.

I mean, otherwise Coaxium seems waaaaaay too niche.

I mean, it pretty much is anyway. Burnout SLAM was a one-time use like Black One, and investing even more in a once-only parlor trick just seems like a horrible idea...
