So what percentage of the sequel faction pilots actually lived through the trilogy? And how many of them didn't just die in their 10 seconds of screen time?

I want to believe that Jad lives.

I'd like to think the same of "Midnight" as weird as that would be...

The second and third movies in the triology were very clear, only force users matter, everyone else is filler, i assume 100% of them died the seconds the credit roles, as their usefulness to the force users had ended.

I have noticed that 4 FO is getting a bunch of chatter, but man does it seem weak on paper

 

Speaking of weak on paper, i really do not understand the love for Lehuse, the ability just seems super vanilla to me, or is it just having  a cheap mini turret i5 that matters?

 

I was skeptical about Gina Moonsong, but putting her on the table, she was far better than I thought initially.

Gina seems neat, especially if someone like ten nunb is around to make the stress just dissapear

Honestly even R4 Y-Wings seem worthwhile.

I still wonder if turret-less Y-Wings have potential as a super-beefy swarm. I've never tried it. But I guess most people wouldn't care if I had either.

presently id consider proton torp dutch or bombs only norra for sure, though every time i've built a list with norra, i've had the points for the turret.

Kind of, but it frees up the dials of Ten and Braylen to be able to do maneuvers that might get blocked, but also have the option for a stress later.  And even if the stress isn't useful, someone is always going to be in a position to clear it or not care, so she can turn other abilities, but also always has a free dial

Sure, and then there will be no incentive at all to being a magical telekinetic uber-mensch dogfighter.

EDIT: Done by your own bootstraps, of course.  Which is possible because, you know, "telekinetic."

Would dropping R4 for all I-3 golds be more profitable? Of course then you go down the rabbit hole of 6Y vs 5Y with ion vs 4 double tapping Y.

That kind of brings up an interesting point. We sometimes glancingly talk about the value of boost, but we don’t get more into dials than “it has a good dial” when a ship gets previewed. 
 

Is it just too obvious to talk about? Fireballs are better than torrents, and it’s not just because of slam, right?

2e dial creep is ridiculous, even the worst dials are typically offset by some combo of stop or additional arcs, and are still better than most 1e dials.

Great, thanks for pointing that pilot out... now I might add a B-Wing Rebel list in 2.0. of which I have only the core X-Wing to date. FFG is getting my number with this pilot/chassis. A list with a few of these look to be/will be quite good. 

...tea is on point today lads!
