Pick any one specific Pilot or Upgrade that you think WILL change in points; and predict the exact number, and one Hyperspace change Let's see who nails it.
Mine; Gavin Darklighter 59 points.
Hyperspace ; Rogue One ships extended only
Edited by CloakerExpert Handling: reduced by half, to 1/2/3 points.

I love that one. Helps a lot of ships not seeing play.
Captain Sear up by 6 points;
Hyperspace change should be Ships and upgrades from Waves IV - VI only.
Can we do slots instead of points?
E-wing + tech slot(Corran -3 otherwise)
Hyperspace: Strikers pulled off.
R2 Astromech on 3 agility hits 9 points.
Upsilon drops out of Hyperspace.
P.S. I like this game you have made.

Dare we give the Contracted Scout a talent slot again? Honestly, I'd be fine with the 1e flashbacks, since I don't think it'd really be all that bad.
Pilot: Trade Federation Drone up 2 to 21 points.
Hyperspace: TIE Defender into Hyperspace.
EDIT:
Also Separatist Drone up 2 to 23 points, and Grappling Struts down 1 to 0 points.
Delta 7B - 15/17/19/21/23/25/27
TIE Punishers (save Redline) and Bombers cost down across the board, esp generics.
Upsilon non-Tav. pilots down.
TIE/FOs down a few on each pilot, esp. generics.
Anything that has Jedi Force tied with Regen, something must make this combo go the holy **** up, up, up!
...now where's my tea?

I'd love to see it. Vultures need, I think, a tiny nerf. A net 1 point change doesn't seem excessive. Removing the struts choice would also be a nice part of a nerf, since that reduces squad flexibility, but also improves positive play experiences, since no one can get confused over whether a Vulture can land on a rock.
Anakin Y-wing drops 2 points, EPB drops 2, Obi-wan base cost at least 54.
My bold prediction is that Cavern Angel Zealots go to 40 but are rotated out of hyperspace.

Maybe yes, but I haven't had a huge problem with the actual chassis or title, it's just the stinking Force and the unwarranted marriage with the **** that is Regen.

I was genuinely surprised when I saw that Grappling Struts actually cost points, they feel like they should just be baked into the ship's cost like the X-Wing or U-Wing.

Vader really isn't a huge issue as he has no Regen... at least 'round here. It's actually nice to have him in the game as a very usable Imp pilot.
R2s though, I agree they need to be made more expensive; maybe an additional cost when on a ship with a Jedi? They are cool on other non-Force ships. Can that even be done?
R2 Astromech now priced by force and agility.

I hope you're right on Vader as I use him almost exclusively but something tells me he gets a point increase, due to his performance last season; although they may just go after Passive Sensors and Soontir instead? I agree about R2 (their needs to be additional costs).
R2 astromech: 6/6/8/12
R2-D2 astromech: 8/8/10/14

Interesting... 5X got to have upgrades in 1e and while strong, didn't feel super oppressive except against 2-ship. Could be valid now, but x-wings are also stronger in 2e... maybe worth testing?

I don't necessarily think all* configurations should be 0. I don't find the "thematic to the ship" argument to be absolute. Gameplay > Lore. 0-point configs can be good. The effects on an X-Wing or U-Wing are pretty small, and the movement tricks are balanced by weaknesses to the statline. Particularly for the U-Wing, it has a dial built around the fact that it can do those rotates.
Struts are a really potent effect. Granting some combination of a blue stall, the U-Wing effect, and Qi'ra out of scum. That's sizeable. I can understand the desire to have these with a cost, since it does represent a pretty substantial improvement. It's also a lot less integral to the ship design. X-Wing without S-Foils is just a Kihraxz, and why have two?
However, I've come around to 0-point struts on Vultures (and Hyenas... I'd just drop their strut cost to zero without an increase in ship cost), mostly out of balance. I think we've learned that, even on a somewhat weak ship like a Vulture, there is a price where they're just too dang cheap. How can we justify raising the price of a ship with a statline this weak? By baking in cost of the struts effect. There is also the knock-on effect of never having to worry about which ships can safely land on rocks. I know some CIS Swarm players were mixing a lot of strut and not-strut vultures, and then that just gets confusing.
* All non-Aethersprite configurations, at least... those *really* need costs.
However, I'm hoping the B-Wing config has a cost, but a fairly low one, perhaps with a mild base price increase, but that's a whole other kettle of fish.
I wouldn't hate to see gunboat configs get a price, if the baseline ship costs were lower.
Came in here expecting a Bingo board.... Am dissapointed.
Quadjumpers and N-1s drop by 2 across the board, except for Ric Olie and Lil’ Ani.
Fangs get dropped from Hyperspace.

For goodness sake! Are you guys conspiring to make me stop playing the game? 😂
Rebels get no signifcant drops to make anything useful, but 4 of Rebels' 5 good Hyperspace ships to all get an increase:
Wedge
Jake
Cassian
Braylen
Most mperial Aces to go up.
Hyperspace - Y-Wing out for Rebels
