Is Lorrir a good choice?

Lorrir, Royal Tie Pilot, Hull Upgrade, Shield Upgrade (31)

His ability looks sweet, but PS5 and no EPT is a bit of a worry.

The lack of EPT can be dealt with, but PS5 may be to low to be viable in an all Int list?

I think Lorrir without upgrades might be better than Hull and Shield upgrades. I may be wrong, but you can work him into lists a lot easier and he's less of a target when he's not worth a third of your list's points.

I think Lorrir is a good choice. You really have to be good at maneuvering to take full advantage of his ability. As for the upgrades, I wouldnt feel comfortable putting too many points on him because he is a PS5. I would however try stealth device on him though. I see why you would want to make him more survivable with upgrades cuz his ability is pretty good.

He's the guy that can stress to barrel-roll at an angle, right?
That's definitely worth an EPT slot, in my book.

Lorrir seems amazing. The others are more obviously powerful, but he's cheap and offers such surprising flexibility.

Yeah. I'm thinking about this list with him:

Omicron Group Pilot (21)
Fire-Control System (2)
Gunner (5)
Engine Upgrade (4)

Boba Fett (39)
Navigator (3)

Lieutenant Lorrir (23)
Stealth Device (3)

Total: 100

Replaces two Academy pilots, but it might be worth it. He may not be considered a huge threat by many when you have a buzzsaw lambda and a fettigator, at least until he starts hopping out of arc. He's going to be devastating against PS4 and lower rebel lists.

The angled barrel roll has some great potential for being tricky at R1. It can take you into firing position and out of firing arc in the same move, as well as setting you up for a next move.

It's not even range one. I liked before I realized I could reverse the template. The backwards and out barrel boost is going to be great at approaching enemies from the side. Say, a 5 forward to shoot past, and then use the barrel boost to turn your arc backwards. He is going to be tough to pin down. I really think Lorrir is the best pilot. Carnor Jax has a powerful ability, but requires you to get up close, which is not the ideal position for Interceptors.

I'm thinking that Lorrir is Captain Yorr's ideal escort. Yorr does a green every turn, clears the stress, gains his action, and then snipes the stress off of Lorrir's ability or Koiogran. Lorrir ninjas about everywhere.

It'l be like Gorc and Pic all over again!

I like him because that banked barrel roll is awesome. I used him in a game recently and he was very formidable, unfortunately I had a problem getting him out of range of a B wing lol.. but still a great ability in my book, am gonna use him with a Firespray build and a couple of three squints..

I played him and had a great experience. I only used the special ability once, but I was able to kill Wedge when I did. Wedge would have otherwise escaped to murder more patriotic imperial volunteers. Rebel scum.

Slightly off of my own topic, but the other pilot who can K-turn on a 1,3 or 5 will make a great escort for a Yorr shuttle. Turning straight around to protect the rear of the shuttle without stress would be awesome.

It would also be great with a Firespray for some bad ass rear shooting. In fact these two bad boys with a Swarm tactics Fett and VI on Cowall may be one mean squad.

when I was using him, I got him in close to the scum rebel ships, and was doing a green move and then and then hitting the bank barrel roll most turns.. it was awesome..

Lorrir essentially comes with PTL light as you're getting a short boost and short Barrel roll out of one action. I think naked or with a stealth device is really the only way to go with him... same goes for Kir.
