B2 can have the Vulture Droid, IG 100 the Tri-fighter (neither actually have pilots, so for game purpose give them to droids).

What! Those droid ships pilot themselves, a B2 droid couldn't pilot a ship even if it had functional fingers to do so, and the MagnaGuards already have a way cooler ship that they actually pilot

I literally said as much and you quoted it! They're not even ships by definition, but obviously they make sense as additions. Another one in the same situation is the droid gunships.

Every "ship" should have at least 1 crew member, that's kinda a big part of how this part of the game works. That's why I suggested using droids to do the job. If you want, you can think of it as the droid transferred it's AI to the ship (in the hologram cantina game).

Alright I messed up, but it would make more sense for the magnaguards to use their own ship, and just not include the droid fighters since they don't really count as a ship for having no need of a pilot.

GG is still pretty much an exclusive Shard Shop toon....if they follow their initial strategy with ships and release The Malevolence that means that they would have to unlock GG for every player for free...which is something I don't think they'd be willing to do....so if there is a Separatist command ship Dooku or Nute are definitely more plausible options or some new unit like the Spider general (forgot his name) or maybe one of the command droids (the type of which sits in the AAT in Phase 4)

Admiral trench for the spider guy which raises do we use the first appearance commanding the invincible

Or the more seen version after his supposed death but commanding just an unnamed Dreadnaught

And for the droid the one you're thinking is the tactical droid and in that you could ask normal T series as seen in the AAT

Or the super tactical droids (notably kalani) which often served as pseudo generals (new droid leader?)

Need tie interceptor and bomber, would not mind a second tie fighter either.
As for pilots there are some some cool non cannon possibilies like Wedges brother inlaw who commanded an elite tie squadron in the x-wing books, otherwise generics will do.
Would love to see Bossk and The Hounds Tooth.

Soontir Fel could be the tie interceptor crew, Tie advanced? (though we already have vaders) bomber though.. don't know any bomber aces..! maybe just grab some from x-wing tabletop. But useless characters just for crew? may just have to put some empire dudes into ships they don't belong in!

RG with interceptor would be my next bet for Empire fleet. I hope we see more stuff for a tarkin fleet.

Since dark side currently lacks a lot of ships (and many are locked for ftp) i expect to see some Droid ships like IG2000 etc. The current way to make money with ptp ships/toons to get zeta can't go well to long. It is ok that some players buyed some advantage but it shouldnt stay forever and it’s a shame that ftp must unlock Sun Fac, Maul, Geo Spy + the ships for them and the only good toon here is Sun Fac.

We need more Empire ships, but who the heck are their pilots going to be? I can't think of any canonical Imperial pilots aside from what we have. RG in a Lambda maybe? Bah

Maybe next week we'll find out if Jyn was in that second TIE fighter in Luke's famous trench run. ;)

A swarm of Buzz Droids

"Mauler" Mithel flew Black Two and "Backstabber" flew Black Three as Vader's wingmen. Just some canon examples for tie pilots.

Dark side definitely needs more ships, including dual-crew.

There are some good suggestions in this thread :
- EP & RG in imperial shuttle
- Kylo & Phasma in command shuttle
- Dooku
- Ventress
- Sid
- GG (trade for excess blueprints ? I dare not think about such a grind)
