The Fun way to Rework Ships

They probably already have this solution fully cooked up, so feedback is probably not wanted. That being said, removing the pilot-ship pairing is the key mechanic. Have all (non-GL) characters avail...

Nope. I don't like this idea at all.

First, I play the game because of the Star Wars theme. And part of that has always been that some characters have iconic ships. Han and Chewie fly the Millennium Falcon. Wampa doesn't fly Slave I. End of story.

Second, your idea will mean that—as already happens too much, in my opinion—only the top slice of our roster will get used. Everyone else will be useless. I like that characters that aren't meta themselves still get to contribute as pilots.

I agree that CG should revisit pilotless ships' stats to make sure that they're staying relevant as additional relic levels make piloted ships more powerful.

There are already plenty of characters in the game that are still waiting on their ships. I'm sure more will come as well.

Your 1st critique is solved in two parts: add the pilot tag to control the pool and properly interpret the game.
We aren't playing Han and Chewie, we're playing a patron at a holotable cantina. Several people that have piloted iconic ships are in the game and not linked to their ships.
You also assume that bigger number equals good and only the top half of the roster gets used, this ignores the affiniy bonuses I mention. R9 KRU zeta'd won't be as good a pilot as R7 Rose in a resistance ship.
