So with Leia coming out for the YT-1300 I was told casually about the fact that she can take Sense + Cassian and have perfect positioning against a single target. You sense them, then guess their maneuver with Cassian in order to choose what ever maneuver you want. So here is my best take on how to abuse that power. I appreciate all feedback. Thanks!

Perfectly Planned

(79) Leia Organa [Modified YT-1300 Light Freighter]
(6) Cassian Andor
(12) Kanan Jarrus
(5) Sense
(7) Hotshot Gunner
(3) Hull Upgrade
(4) Shield Upgrade
(3) Millennium Falcon
Points: 119

(36) Jake Farrell [RZ-1 A-wing]
(1) Crack Shot
(2) Predator
Points: 39

(34) Arvel Crynyd [RZ-1 A-wing]
(3) Intimidation
(2) Predator
Points: 39

Total points: 197

You can do it to one ship only. With the amount of swarms I am expecting in the current meta, it's not as powerful as it would seem. Funny gimmick though.

Seems like fun, but I think Engine Upgrade would be really useful. I guess Kanan can fix stress from the red boosts, but that costs force which you might need to be spending to Sense and you only recharge one per turn. Cutting Shield Upgrade and bid alone does it, but if cutting Kanan instead, there's no obvious replacement upgrade.

K-2SO might work, since there's three ships, and there's a decent chance you'll be able to spot someone who could use one of the blues on their dial, but I'm not entirely confident. I think having multiple potential targets is one of the keys to good K-2SO use. Running him as a calculate-only PTL probably isn't trash, but being able to shuffle that token around, spot someone unstressed who is going to pull a blue move anyhow. One nice thing: you can use K-2 after Cassian, so you'll know if you're doing a blue move on Leia.

Kanan pilot (Ghost) could also equip both Sense and Cassian crew for the same effect.

Sure. But then you're stuck with a Ghost.

hehe Yep, I know. Just never thought of that combo (Sense + Cassian) and quickly checked if it had been available before Leia.

I know it got discussed with the Ezra Sheathipede, more of as a blocker/support ship.

There's another cool busted trick that works with Kanan: Heightened Perception and Veteran Turret Gunner. Kanan can Init 7 Double Tap, with at least one 4-dice attack, the sin for which Roark/Dash+Han got nerfed into oblivion.

The big difference? Then you're stuck with a Ghost.

Something which is scary with a turret which moves at Init 5... just isn't with a fixed-front-arc ship with average mobility moving at Init 3.

Leia can still do a Heightened Perception Missile Attack with a Han Solo turret shot.
