What pilots/upgrades are rotated out or in of Hyperspace?

By Cgriffith, in X-Wing

I mostly play Republic and Empire so I’ll stick with those two factions but I’d love to hear others opinions and I’ll revisit this in two weeks after the live stream and see how we all did.

Republic

IN/OUT

Anakin Skywalker (Aethersprite)/Anakin Skywalker (N-1)

Mace Windu /Obi-Wan Kenobi

Sasee Tiin/Plo Kloon

Chancellor Palpatine (Crew)/R2 Astromech

Sinker (ARC-170)

Empire

IN/OUT

Defenders/All Reaper Pilots

Soontir Fel/All Strikers

*Darth Vader +2/3 points

Added Vader because with the additional ship changes a point change is logical and expected.

Defenders and Soontir both in makes me deeply fear Empire would singlehandedly destroy the reasons Hyperspace is good.

Republic: I would like to see the the torrents minus gold squadron rotated in

Separatists: belbullab added no capt sear.

I'm not very worried about the points. Wave 7 when it comes is going to impact the meta and the current points were built with the assumption that we would have access to those ships.

Scum:

Mining TIE out

Z-95 in

Jumpmaster out

YV-666 in

Old Teroch in

Boba out, but no nerfs.

I find this interesting. In my personal opinion new players/and old like flying certain pilots. Removing iconic pilots which are the face of the faction I feel has a bad effect on new and old players. I’d never remove the following characters from Hyperspace (ever!)

Republic - Anakin Skywalker (1 must always be Hyperspace - not you Y-Wing)

Empire - Darth Vader

Scum - Boba Fett

Resistance - Rey

First Order - Kylo Ren

Rebellion - Luke Skywalker & Han Solo

Separists - Darth Maul

Removing these Pilots limits players abilities to enjoy the game in the preferred mode currently. Thus, possibly causing less growth within the game and player community.

I agree that there should be evergreen ships/pilots in hyperspace.

I didn't say it in my post but removing the slave 1 title from hyperspace would impact boba a lot. He warrants a price increase as well. That being said it is important that he is viable as he is great for beginners.
