Rose should be needed for Resistance Bomber

Incoming Rose whining

Resistance Pilot and Rose

Resistance Pilot already has a ship ??‍♂️

And rose wasn’t even on the bomber either so that argument doesn’t hold up. Her only use is as a sacrifice for Crancor

Read the post bro

Rose would make the ships stats weaker. Because it’s Rose Tico.

Oooohhhh a new useless character we can add. Get ready for ‘sister Tico’ cause nobody knew her name. But you have to farm her to pilot bomber. ??

True, Rose wasn’t on the ship, but her sister was and that’s good enough for me.

Works for me.

Instead of the resistance pilot (who Salatious_Scrum pointed out that the RP already has a ship), how about the resistance trooper? I mean if not him and you had to pick an existing toon, who?

Naw, lets use what we have instead of farming and gearing someone new. Won’t be the first time they didn’t follow established canon exactly. R5 Rose is a crazy requirement and this would soften the blow.

Last Jedi is one of my favorites, but Paige didn't have anywhere near enough screentime to be a full-blown character. Folks like Lobot or Chief Chirpa, etc, haven't, either, but there were EU canon appearances for them to flesh them out. If Paige had other appearances, then sure!

But, as it stands, just make the bomber "her" bomber and have it be uncrewed.

Aside from the leveling/gearing up potentially bad toons for a ship I still prefer having crew for ships unless it makes sense that they don't have crew.

Crewless ships aren't able to keep up with the power creep from now higher relic tiers. Either stats need to be changed for the ships to keep them relevant or another way to increase the ships power needs to be introduced so they can keep up with the higher relic levels.

I largely agree. But I don't mind crewless ships if they're meant to represent a very genric, filler ship. For instance, the Resistance had a whole lot of X-Wings at its disposal, but we're limited to two in the game--Poe's and Pilot's. Give us a generic, crewless "X-Wing" for every capital ship so we can fill up undersized fleets. Keep Resistance Pilot and her specific X-Wing, maybe rename her Resistance Ace or something to represent that she's unique from the generic ship.

It'd also be nice if this generic ship could be duplicated so that, in the case of Raddus for example, you could use it 4 times and field a full fleet of Resistance ships. I don't know if that's supported by the code as is or would require a major overhaul to implement, so maybe it's impossible, but it would be nice.

Named char as pilot is fine, but ppl do really want a new generic unnamed char that usually benched as a pilot?

I do, yes. I think this game needs more generic characters, personally. And more characters with ability sets that don't read like a Lord of the Rings short story.

Sure, I dont mind some generic faces, but when they are needed as a requirement somewhere else...you know what I mean.

Another example is GarSaxon and ISC, good ship, benched guys, not needed anywhere else. So how many ppl gearing them past relic lvl?

That’s shortsighted, though.

If a ship is solid and good, then the pilot IS the ship. You gear them up so that you can use them for ship content, which is already a significant amount of the game and only likely to increase as time goes by. ESPECIALLY now that crystals in fleet arena remain while squad arena is gone.

So you relic bistan, SRP/Garsaxon, ISC while the rebel/empire fleet in their prime time, instead of some GL/journey requirements?
