Okay, so we all have a pilot that we need to run each time we play: no matter the list, he's in it (unless you're "stuck" playing the opposing side). When you play the faction of your choice, who is your chosen pilot and what upgrades do you give him/her? Mine would be Turr Phennar with Veteran Skills and a stealth device: he goes from PS7 to PS9 with 4 defense dice base until he's hit by an opponent. Where he really shines though is after shooting as a PS9, he gets to jet out of the way of being shot at by the ship he just fired on. I've won more than a few games from this ability, and I find his contribution invaluable. Soontir Fel with PTL and a Stealth Device would be a strong contender, but I'm willing to bet that he'll be the most popular Imperial. For Rebels, I'll go with Wedge with a Proton Torpedo and PTL: Target Lock, Focus, Torpedo the TIE into oblivion while removing evades.

Howlrunner+Swarm Tactics. Makes my Empire shooting so much better. Vader+Swarm Tactics+Concussion Missile is a close second.

Falling in deep bro-love with Dutch+Ion+R5-K6.

Biggs Darklighter with R2-F2 and Stealth Device. Makes people want to pull out their hair and strangle you. keeping him ar the 3 range is kinda tricky, but rolling 5 green is beastly.

Ten Numb with autoblaster, engine upgrade, PTL and either fire control or advanced sensors. The B-wing has always been my favorite ship, so naturally the B-wing ace is going to be my favorite game option.

My favorite is Turr Phennir with veteran instincts. My last game he, vader and a shuttle went up against 5 interceptors and he shot down 4 before being taken down himself.
