Lending a Ship to Another Faction's Pilot

Recommended Posts

Just a fun hypothetical:

If you could give a chassis from your main faction to a pilot not included in that faction, what combo would it be?

On behalf of the First Order, I would gift Oddball with a TIE/vn Silencer. The world descends into madness as I gleefully enjoy the chaos, especially with a clone as the Republic's premier I5 ace.

Wow, the possibilities!

  • Pure Sabacc in a T70 or RZ2 (Or anything with 2+ shields...)
  • Same with Wedge
  • Lulo in a TIE Interceptor or Silencer
  • Vader in virtually anything
  • Karsabi in an Aethersprite with R2
  • Rexler in a Phantom
  • Vermeil and Feroph in any ace ship
  • Redline in pretty much any ship, but particularly in a T70 or RZ2
  • Wampa, Mauler, Gideon, Valen, Nightbeast in RZ2s
  • Whisper in any ace ship
  • Finn in a Vcx or an ARC
  • Nien Nunb or Temmin in an Interceptor, A-wing, or Silencer

I do play other things than imperials and resistance, I promise!

edit:

  • Braylen, Ten, Sabine or Hera in a RZ2
  • Poe in anything
  • Wulffwarro in a YT1300
  • Longshot and Scorch in RZ2s
  • Backdraft in an RZ2

Plot twist: they get costed appropriately.

Wolffe in a Firespray. 

Rey in a TIE Defender.

Norra Wexley in a Fang Fighter.

Snap Wexley in a Tie Defender. 

Dash Rendar in a TIE Silencer.

Quickdraw in a TIE Defender.

Kavil in a YT-24.

Sabine in a TIE Defender.

Ved Foslo in an RZ-2.

Wedge Antilles in a TIE Defender.

 

I may have Defenders on the brain.

Shout out to @GreenDragoon for covering most of the pilots I would like to see in RZ-2s.

  • Sabine Wren needs a Fang Fighter.  Thematic because mando.  Good in rules, because linked Focus actions after her boost or barrel roll.  This is the way.
  • Quickdraw wants an E-Wing.  Lots of shields, access to regen, high agility to protect the shields, easy access to long-range locks to have highly-modded attacks.  I'm sure there's another high-shields, high-agility heavy fighter out there which would also do well with Quickdraw, but I think QD is best as an offensive rather than defensive ship.
  • I was tempted to copy @Hoarder of Garlic Bread with Oddball in a TIE Silencer, but Ric Olie in a TIE SF.  High speed can be a lot easier to manage when you've got a rear arc, too.
  • Darth Vader in an N-1. :p  But seriously.  He'd be an absolute beast of a Torpedo carrier, and Passive Sensors to Boost/Barrel Roll before attacking would be *chef's kiss.*
  • General Grievous in a TIE Defender.  I mean, someone's got to do it.  And if he could bring, Soulless One with him?  Yikes, that sucker would never die.
  • Fenn Rau in a Nantex.  Mostly because it'd be cool to see if non-Ensnare Nantex could be reasonable and wholesome things (as reasonable as Init 6 can be, at least).  Gravitic Deflection and Predator or Trick Shot would be a cool kit.

*edit* so as a note, I moved a First Order to Rebel to Scum to Separatist to Imperial to Republic to First Order.  And realize now I forgot Resistance :P Anyhow, the goal was to have a chain.  It's not too hard to think up busted pilots in different ships.  It strikes me as more fun to put some sort of limitation like this, chain one into another into another.

Lets just push this to maximum broken: Vader in a Starviper

You beat me to it.

Grand Inquisitor would make an excellent Starviper or Fang Fighter pilot too.

Heck, Countess Ryad in a Starviper would be pretty neat. White speed 1-3 kturns, into bendy barrel rolls, the possibilities!

Lieutenant Kestal in a Firespray (or other ship with a crew slot).

Countdown gets a Scurrg.

Ello Asty in a Fang Fighter.

Bombardment Drone in a Scurrg could be fun too.

Sun Fac in a Quadjumper.

Juke, R3, and FCS to double mod every shot?

Ha! I love it. Thematic and good. Rebel Sabine's ability seems really on anything with a link off a boost or barrel roll. Putting her on a large base would probably be great. Yt-2400 for supreme mobility.

I'd like to put Unkar Plutt in a large base as well. Fun shenanigans putting tractors on everyone, and with the new tractor rules, he doesn't get tractored when he gets his tractor token.

I think the best ship to pull the swap with, however, is the IG-2000 Aggressor since you get to share your ability. Mix and match for stupid good combinations.

I don't really think Juke is worth the cost these days, particularly without Full Throttle.  I think I'd go R2, FCS, Crack Shot, maybe also Spare Parts.

Quickdraw would also be great with the Chopper/Elusive combo, plus FCS and Afterburners (great on TIE/sf QD, plus potential Chopper fuel), but Chopper isn't First Order Playable. :P

But I don't think you can beat Luke in a Tie/D

Boba Fett in Tie/D? 😈

Or for that matter, how about Nora Wexley in it?

Oh hey just thought of something:

Countess Ryad in Lancer. Biggest problem with that thing is staying on target and not flying off and away from the action, or being forced to red 5k to sort of be pointed in the right direction.

Even funnier is putting her in the YV-666. White 1-3k on the stapler?
