If there were an Aces pack for your favorite ship, who would you expect as a new pilot?

[Punning Pundit 4,746]

Instead of more X-Wing Pilots, how about an Aces pack that gives 4 new E-Wings, and a pair of titles- Rogue Squadron and Wraith Squadron. Those titles would be usable on either X-Wings or E-Wings. They would each have different 2 point abilities that would be worth about 4 points.

[catachanninja 4,131]

I'd love to see the Wraith Squadron pilots make an appearance in X-wings and Interceptors (I accept that the latter will certainly never happen).

 

Could happen through  Myn Donos and Kirney Slane.

I'd love to see ketch in an interceptor with S&V

[Beardface2 199]

I'd respond by asking for an Aces with the A-Wing with pilots such as Garik Loran and Pash Cracken, and maybe an A-Wing Slash EPT, but since we already got an Aces A-Wing...well...

We have Rebel Aces, we have Imperial Aces...how about a Scum Aces pack?  Scum TIE Fighter and Scum TIE Interceptor miniatures, generic Scum TIE cards, and the following named pilots: General Kargin, Captain Seku, Lieutenant Dissek, Lieutenant Kettch, Qatya Nassin, and Morrt.

"Yub yub, Commander."

[Kilkakon 76]

I think FFG's hesistation with introducing too many other factions' equipment to Scum is making the faction have no identity as they can just use anything.

[ID X T 820]

I think for the Y-wing it is pretty easy.

 

Davish "Pops" Krail and Tiree are a given.  But I'd also like to see Leia Organa in a Y-wing as that was what she tended to fly.

 

I like to see "Pops" with an ability that is actually negative.  To represent switching deflectors to front perhaps give him 5 or 6 shields, but only let him use them to attack from within his fire arc.  Attacks from outside his fire arc ignore shields.

I thought "Pops" was the one who told the others to stabilize their rear deflectors after the trench's guns stopped shooting.

[Harlock999 328]

I don't care.

 

As long as we get a Rebels pack with at least one Y-Wing (preferably two)?

 

And those pilots have Elite Talent slots?

 

And we get bomb slots?

 

I'll be in heaven.

[Jokubas 260]

Smugglers and Spies

Rookie One and Ru Murleen Pilots for the TIE Phantom

 

Nah, that is my favorite ship (well before it's inclusion in X-Wing so nothing to do with that), and I want to see those pilots, but it doesn't really fit this game to have spies like that.

[Mikael Hasselstein 6,896]

I'm with UnfairBanana on the TIE Bomber. I have no idea what sort of name they would introduce to put on the pilot card.

 

Actually, what I would like to see is a 15 point PS1 Bomber pilot. I always thought it was odd that the 'Scimitar Squadron' was the PS2 pilot. Scimitar Squadron was supposed to be pretty elite, I thought.

[kellyj 191]

Droid QT-KT. Ship can not be targeted by missiles or Torpedos.

Droid U9-C4. Droid can perform an independent attack with the Autoblaster profile (may not use tokens to change dice). Then discard this card.

Droid M5-BZ. Ship gains a crew slot.

Young Obi Wan Kenobi: Y-Wing. EPT. PS7. Ship can not be targeted while another friendly ship is on the board (Kenobi dies last).

Old Kenobi: Crew. Ship gains an additional Agility dice (this is not the ship you want to shoot).

Saesee Tiin: E-Wing. EPT. PS6. Ship may perform a free Barrel Roll prior to movement. Ship may perform a second BR in the Action phase.

BTL-S3: Y-Wing Title. Ship loses astromech but gains crew slot.

Tseebo: Crew. Before setting your dial you may look at any opponent dial. That dial may not be changed. Then discard this card.

 Buzz Droid. Missile. 3 Attack. Focus. Cancel all unsaved damage but one. Each subsequent turn adds 1 damage at start of the combat phase. Action: Remove Droids from ship. No further damage allocated.

Agent Kallus: Crew. When another ship targets his ship, gain a Free Focus.

It's been a while, I think you are right.  Could do it the other way for sure, it might have been Dutch who told them to set deflectors to front, and "Pops" who told them to set them to rear in order to fight off the fighters.      

[FTS Gecko 23,148]

Not saying this is my favorite pilot, but something we haven't seen yet is Ace Azzameen in the Otana a YT-2000 light freighter.

The Azzameen family also owned 2 more YT-1300 freighters, the Selu and Sabra.

 

Freighter Aces Pack - repainted YT-1300 and the Otana.  Ohhhhbaby

[Blail Blerg 7,335]

Porkins in a Y-Wing. Where he belongs.

RIP

hey wait a minute, thats right, wasnt he in a y wing in ep 4? 

[Sethis 222]

On the subject of the Lambda I'd like to see someone with an EPT and whose ability reads "At the start of the combat phase you may remove one of your stress tokens and place it on an enemy ship that is not already stressed within R1". Add Ion Cannon, Rebel Captive and Tactician to taste...

[Funkleton 2,510]

Keyan Farlander in a Y-Wing.

 

As much as I'd like to see more Y-Wing pilots, we've already got Keyan so I'd prefer to see some others get a look in.

 

Checking wookiepedia, it seems that the Gray Squadron wishbones at Endor were 2 seater versions with a dedicated gunner  on board.

While I don't think a crew slot would really be appropriate for the Y-wing (unless perhaps it was restricted to a small selection of Y-wing only crew) it might make for some interesting pilot abilities based around the assumption that these pilots had a crew member on board and that in battle ......... ""There's…too many of them!!"

 

Perhaps a gunner-esque ability that triggers if more than 1 enemy has you in arc, or the ability to increase range on turret attacks, maintain multiple target locks, etc

[Magnus Grendel 10,573]

It'd perhaps be good to fill out the Rogue Squadron roster and beef up the X-wing's manouvrability at the same time.

 

A title giving it boost would give it the manouvring edge it needs to not be overshadowed by the B-wing so much, and actually make it faster than the Z-95 it was supposed to outclass.

 

There are plenty of other Rogue Squadron pilots - Plour and Dllr spring to mind from the comics, plus Zev Sensesca (who's a speeder pilot on hoth but was supposedly a Rogue Squadron starfighter pilot prior to being shot down). Equally, there's the option of Fel in an X-wing.

 

Also - as an elite pilot talent, there's "Rogue Leader" - this callsign gets handed to the best starfighter pilot in the alliance - so "small ship only. You cannot equip this talent if any other friendly ship has an equal or higher pilot skill"...  - kind of like squad leader, but instead of commanding the rest of the squad, making the person with it "the best of the best".

I'd pay good money for a Rogues/Wraiths expansion.  I just want Corran and Tycho back in an X-wing where they belong.

But seeing other Rogues & Wraiths make appearances in this game would be great, too. Garik Loran, Kell Tainer, Tyria Sarkin, Gavin Darklighter, etc

A Scum pack representing the Invid pirates would be cool, because I'd like to see a TIE clutch officially in the game. Or Warlord Zsinj's TIE Raptor. 

Man, I love EU TIE variants.

I would buy the **** out of an "Uglies" Aces pack for S&V with a Clutch/Deathseed and DIE-Wing.

[Ihavebadluck 52]

I believe that if we assume it has to be small based ships an imperial aces II would have to be defender and bomber. they are the only small based ships without at least 1 other set of pilots (other than that of the original expansion) other than the phantom which has had no complaints about being useless (to my knowledge anyway). It would probably include some sort of ordinance fix as both ships use ordinance and tie bomber uses it rather heavily. For the rebels it is a bit harder to say but if we rule out the z-95 and say it doesn't need it that leaves the e-wing and the y-wing, although if we allow ships that already have several sets of pilots than i would say we could see the x-wing with more options that make it work better as a multi-role fighter, not just new pilots and random upgrades. if it includes the y-wing it could have an ordinance fix as well and possibly even if not since the x-wing and e-wing both can use ordinance. I think the E-wing seems likely though so I would say E-wing + either y-wing or x-wing 

[pgarfunkle 99]

I'm going to add one more voice for the Rogues and Wraiths pack.

 

Ideal world for me it would have several X-Wing pilots from the novels but also some pilots for the other Wings to represent the eras in the squadron's history when it was not a single ship type.

 

Also a Rogue and Wraith Title that could be applied certain ships, at least the X-Wing, as it would probably be difficult to come up with a title that would work across all ships with ranging from potentially useless to overpowered.

 

I would also like to see some sort of adjustment for the X-Wing, I love a lot of the elite pilots for their abilities but find myself reaching for B-Wings or Headhunters when it comes to generics.

[heychadwick 11,354]

I'd like to see Mara Jade in Scum.

 

More Maarek Steele in other ships. 

[InstantAequitas 678]

X-wings:

Zev Senesca, Grizz Frix, Kier Santage, Bren Quersey. All OT pilots who had screen time (all dead of course).

Y-wings:

Davish Krail, LT. Telsij, and a couple I can't remember this early in the morning. Seriously, Krail is the guy who gave us the line, "Stay on Target!" Why is he not in the game yet?

[Jo Jo 4,662]

Steele in a Defender - PS 7 and 36 points. EPT of course

 

Once per round when defending, you may remove 1 stress token to change all of your focus results to evade results.

 

Essentially the opposite ability of Keyan. Opens up the Defender dial and makes him really tanky.
