I like Kir Kanos, to be honest. His Pilot skill is low enough that you can save your evade token to use for defense if you need it against Aces. And if you don't its an extra damage going in.

Mine went to mothball after it got errata'd, only reason I bought it was SLAM bombing

In my experience, they either act as three shield upgrades for Soontir Fel, or they get a lick or two in due to Soonts stripping tokens. Either way, the humble Academy Pilot is always a good investment. On the other hand, watching 12 points of your list sail down the drain first shot of the game is always disheartening, and that one shot isn't always enough to save your ace. Furthermore; two regular dice with only a single modifier just don't seem to get the job done in today's meta.

Guri (Starviper -Autothrusters -Lone Wolf Drea Renthal (Y-Wing) -Autoblaster Turret -Proton Torpedo -Extra Munitions -Unhinged Astromech Cartel Marauder (Kihraxz) Binayre Pirate (Z-95) 97 pts. Leaves three open for Pilot Skill on the generics or Fire Control System on Guri, or just an initiative bid.

Another thing to remember, the Rebel ships didn't have military grade shield generators on their ships at that point in the episode, so the thing could have not had much shielding for Vader to punch through; making it even easier for him.

I was list building on my building app of choice when I noticed something. Drea's ability isn't just a stressful fire control system. It reads 'When you spend a target lock, you may acquire a target lock' Meaning you can continue your lock shenanigans after your target's death with careful planning.

I'm offended, PS1 vipers are awesome. Run 2 with Thrusters, a z-95, and a loaded Drea Renthal. One of the Vipers plays flanker while the rest of the list jousts. It may not be tourney viable but it can definitely win a game or three.

The ability to take Autothrusters notwithstanding, I'd rather have barrel-roll than boost on a ship. Every time I have barrel roll on my action bar I want boost there instead, and every time boost is there I want barrel roll instead. I've accepted the fact that my planning abilities are less sharp than my opponent's for the moment.

So here's my developing list: Zeta Ace -Lone Wolf Lt. Lorrir -Autothrusters -Stealth Device Echo -Advanced Cloaking Device -Recon Specialist -Veteran Instincts -Fire Control System Academy Pilot All the silly barrel rolls with a nice blocker to make sure they can't follow. It makes for a great laugh.

What about juke and comm relay; evade first turn, then survive longer because they have to save their focus for defense, not to mention it mitigates Poe's ability.

I use her with VI, Accuracy corrector, and a procket for anti- ace capabilities.

I fail to see how that's abuse, my first choice is TL, but you're a sneeze out of range so TL isn't allowed, therefore I opt for the less optimal but still useful reposition into range. Abuse would be if my ship B was between ship A and your ship, and I was looking to see exactly what range it would be after its maneuvre for reposition purposes.

I trust Lord Vader executed the captain that lost him his personal Raider class corvette?

I see Soontir upgraded to the TIE Pimpterceptor

A bold statement for you, friend XP

Why be so boring as to assume RFel would have the same ability as IFel? I feel like if they were to do a 'same pilot different ship', they would give him a snazzy new ability to go with it. Maybe something along the lines of Jake Farrell, using an action to get an action not on the bar or changing maneuvres ala Juno. That's how I see Soontir pushing the limits of what an XWing can do at least.

Clearly the answer is Red Squadron Pilot with an R2 Astromech

So assuming we're not using 88B, is there 24 points of scum that can make up for the loss of the Aggressor's upgrades save Autothrusters?

Personally, I never shake dice in one hand. They always show more pictures with two

I also add sensor jammer for more fun And yes she is Careful falling in love with those replica droids fellas, especially with one programmed solely to be an assassin! http://api.ning.com/files/R6fhc6qk9-6G1370dA3wIwcsOHDtlgqlDskM0JHTsmtZOp*Mxqq1-qZJMDGXOWauPQFUBZ7U6VBm6oY7r8-VofP9LqXbyKLN/donotfistandroidgirls2.jpg?width=737&height=567

Is there a point to giving her Veteran Instincts? I can't think of many matchups but maybe you guys know more?

That is glorious and I may have to do my own up now...

How do you do the blue you put on the canopy?

As a pilot who specializes in the flying circus, knowing when to go for the kill and when to break off. Sometimes discretion is the better part of valor, even if the other guy only has Z-95's, a blocked Soontir is a dead Soontir.

Fixed that for you
