Edit: I found the answer in the Garm/Ossus Guardian precedent. Never mind. Does mean that Han-GH could get Pilot.

I like this lando. Greater mobile and opp+double is a nice boost from Lando DS. The CE is OK... i feel like a +4 across the board for pilots wouldn't have been broken, but I guess a good player can use this to have a +4 bonus from cover for ranged, and CE for adjacent. The boost he gives to Han will go a long way.
However, I feel like they could have pushed his abilities further. Giving Han pilot will certain make our han pieces much more deadly (mobile attack speed 8 is yummy), but, while Pilot can't be canceled, all the boosts that pilot get are ce based, so, ABM is still uncountered.
Nein Numb is now a 12 point Pilot. But for 12 points, he still isn't work playing, even with the abilities that are now open to him. There are just too many better options. I suppose if you're looking for an entirely pilot themed squad, or a RoTJ Themed squad, now he's more playable, but if we're talking theme squads, you're going to throw numb into the mix regardless of his cost or usefulness. For 1 point more you can get porkins and lose speed 8 and 1 defence for access to grenades and NS. Or you could get Baby wedge and get +2 def and a whole slew of abilities. For 12pts, 50 is the max HP a fig gets, and that does place him in the top percentile for HP to Cost ratio, but I just don't know that he's really worth considering at this point anymore than he was before.
That being said, i'll give him a try. adamb0nd has been known to make mistakes... from time to time

Not broken, perhaps, but the adjacency was more thematic, imo. He did have them go up near the Star Destroyers.
And the Pilot to Nien Numb and Han were there primarily for thematic reasons, as those were some of the oldest complaints when Universe was released.

Just to clarify, my claims of Nunb being 'broken' must be classes as humour, whether good or bad humour, I cannot say.

+4 defense vs adjacent

None. I'm just stating that ABM's counter is vong. Combine that with a SS not affected by Force sense, and you've got the best fraction ever.

Just in case anyone wanted to know, I playtested Vset 5 Boss Nass. Will have play report in the play reports forum soon. Can't wait for him to release.
