I definitely considered it, but I wanted it to be a tight benefit that only Pilots benefited as opposed to a wide spread net of no Shields.

I had "in-depth analysis" on my scores but I hate having to redo everything.
Lord Ball's: Good ideas. Love the CE. I think "Ace Pilot" should be fleshed out a bit. (I'll post an explanation on your character mostly because I am sure I will lose the explanation here) 9.25
Saber1: A lot of good ideas but multiple Camaraderie. I think this should be spread out a bit with other possible characters. Maybe a Jansen or someone else. 9.75
Flying Arrow: I love the low cost, high reward pilot. I think you could stitch one more SA (Accurate or Avoid Defeat) into the character without affecting cost. The CE, in my opinion, should be for Rebels. They need the help to get competitive. 9.5
AH: FU&SA feels like it might affect stealth (within 6 gain It's a Trap!). The first part of the CE is awesome. The second might be simplified with "Gains Destabilize Shields" 9.5
DB53: I think granting "FSM" via CE might be a good idea vs just giving him that. FlyingArrow pointed out that the wording needed to be tweaked on Covering Fire and I agree. 9.
and, of course, this guy:
MM247: He has NO IDEA how to stat. Get off the board, loser! 1! I'll repeat. 1!
A very good crop of miniatures. Some need to be tweaked but very few need to be outright overhauled. I could see virtually any of them being V-Set
I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with your browser... Computer problems suck.  BTW who did you place your overall vote for? Saber1?

markedman247's Wedge Antilles, Death Star Veteran - Save booster. 9
saber1's Wedge Antilles, Rogue Leader - NR transition/Camaraderie 8.5

Lord_Ball's Wedge Antilles, Ace Pilot I like the use of Disciplined Leader. Crack Gunner doesn't quite fit, but I'll go with it. Ground Pilot doesn't quite fit either, but given the Mounted Weapon love you are seeking to provide through this character it works. I guess my issue is that the MW love is great, and needed, I'm just not sold on using Wedge as the vehicle (pun intended) to provide it. Regardless, the piece fills the role intended and does it well. 8.5 AndyHatton's Wedge Antilles, Red Leader Form Up and Stay Alert is just great, as are the rest of the abilities. The CE, while thematically accurate, is quite limited in scope. 9.0 markedman247's Wedge Antilles, Death Star Veteran This is a great piece from every angle. The base stats are very Wedge-esque, the subtitle is very unique and flavorful. What really sets this piece apart are the brilliant use of Survival Expert and the CE. Great flavor text caps this very solid entry. 9.5 FlyingArrow's Wedge Antilles, AceAt first, this piece looked great, and it still is. However, after pondering it more, my impression of this piece changed to mirror that of Lord Ball's entry. Its a very useful piece with an appropriate cost and a much needed CE. It just feels like it should be on a slightly lesser known character. As a Wes Janson, or Biggs Darklighter, it would be great. In fact, if you changed the name to Wes Janson, Red Squadron Ace, it would actually fit much better and nothing else need be edited. 8.5 Darthbane53's Wedge Antilles, Rebel LegendThe price is low and there are some fun things going on. I'd like to see his damage output a little less reliant on saves. Grenades 40 feels too strong, especially given the use of Fire-Support Mission. 9.0 Based on my scores, Wedge Antilles, Death Star Veteran by markedman247 is the clear choice for me this week. Its balanced, accurate, flavorful, useful and fun. Great work.

AndyHatton, Red Leader: 9 Offers a sense of flying formations in ground combat - interesting and fairly well done. Markedman247, Death Star Veteran: 9 Not so sure about avoid defeat with survival expert, but other than that I find this version intriguing. FlyingArrow, Ace: 8.5 Simple, perhaps too simple - Wedge is easily one of if not the rebels greatest pilot and this version is just a bit plain for my taste. Darthbane53, Rebel Legend: 8.5 Wedge ala commando style, not a fan of FSM + grenades 40 on the same character - while each has their own place One or the other would have been good enough. saber1, Rogue Leader: 8.5 CE that's semi-detrimental doesn't seem very Wedge-like, and Wingman (really just a specialized version of Synergy) is certainly an ability Wedge should probably have as well as hand out to a couple specific characters. My vote goes to... AndyHatton markedman247 wrote:

Well it is just a reworked version of Troop Cart (with counts as a pilot added incase I reuse it on non pilot in name characters).

Wedge Antilles, Ace Pilot by Lord Ball: I'm with saber1 on this one, this piece is fantastic and really cool, but it just doesn't feel like Wedge. 8.5
Wedge Antilles, Death Star Veteran by markedman247 all of the boosts are interesting and Wedge being hard to kill fits very well. Making other Rebels (especially Han and Luke through a few steps) Harder to kill is a good thing, most of them are made of paper. 9.5
Wedge Antilles, Ace by FlyingArrow a nice simple attacker with a commander effect Rebels desperately need. 9
Wedge Antilles, Rebel Legend by Darthbane 53 I like the combo of Crack Shot and Covering Fire, giving Rebels another way to not activate folks who combine fire is another great way to give them that attack boost they need. I'm not sure about both Fire Support Mission and Grenades, it seems a bit like Overkill. 9
Wedge Antilles, Rogue Leader by saber1 lots of great things happening, the CE is interesting, and both Camaraderie's are awesome. Everything fits in here. 9.5
As always a hard one I think I have to go with markedman247 this week.
