Doesn’t N-1 Anakin essentially have this? I’ve never seen him in action. Is he awful to play against?

No, he's kinda limited by I4 and a relatively weak chassis. Plus most of the time you want keep the force anyway

Yeah, but I would prefer it to be a barrel roll, and/or have the ship not have the barrel roll action. I don't double barrel rolls would be fun to play against

Oh, I wouldn't give it to a ship with a barrel roll action. I just kinda think the as-a-maneuver bit is interesting.

Really my idea is to cross S-Foils with Ailerons for a zippy version of an X-Wing.

  • Side A: Do a 1 straight/1 bank if not stressed. Grants the Roll and Focus > Red Roll action. You may flip at the end of your activation.
  • Side B: Do a 1 straight sideslip if not stressed. Grants the Boost and Focus > Red Boost action. You may flip at the end of your activation.

I'd give the ship Focus, Lock, Red Evade as standard actions.

Dude seems to be not bad. Equip Passive Sensors and a Torpedo (Regular, Plasma, Advanced) and I've heard reasonable things about him.

He's also just one ship. Zari Bangel and Nantex work kinda similar, but no one cares about Zari because it's one lower Init pilot, not a swarm of 6 Zaris with 3-dice bullseye guns.

An entire squad of Anakins might be bothersome.

That's actually kinda sick
