R2D2 is the cheapest pilot who can carry crew for all these wonderful new Force-wielding crew. So wanted to think through some ways to put crew on him. Pretty basic salad here using well-represented pilots:

R2D2 Taxi:

(32) R2-D2 [BTL-B Y-wing]
(16) Aayla Secura
(2) Dorsal Turret
Points: 50

(50) "Wolffe" [ARC-170 Starfighter]
(2) R4-P Astromech
Points: 52

(41) Anakin Skywalker [Naboo Royal N-1 Starfighter]
(2) Passive Sensors
(3) Intimidation
(5) Adv. Proton Torpedoes
Points: 51

(43) Luminara Unduli [Delta-7 Aethersprite]
(3) Calibrated Laser Targeting
Points: 46

Total points: 199

I just don't know that Aayla is worth it on R2-D2. Palpatine coordinates more cheaply, for example, and a Focus on a 2-red, 1-green ship just... doesn't feel worth?

On Wolffe, Aayla seems great, since he really wants to Focus for his 3-red gun and reroll, but I don't know off the top of my head what I'd do differently with Artoo Deetoo under such a case.

Fair yeah, I guess a focus is just a good action to have and for 2 points over Palp is really that bad of a deal? I’m sure I could use three points on this list somewhere else but a focused and possibly calculated ship probably isn’t facing a lot of shots which hopefully extends the life of my coordinate.

Putting her on Wolffe scares me a bit because it really adds to his cost and at i4 and medium base I feel he’s subject to more blocks than R2. But would definitely take more advantage of the focus.

The focus linked to purple coordinate might be good.
