Also looks like we're getting Maarek Stele in a TIE Defender (unless I'm forgetting some TIE Defender pilot whose name also started with "Maa").

So the question is, will they still have the same pilot abilities transferred to another ship, like how Hera has the same pilot ability for both the Ghost and the Phantom? Or will they have different pilot ability for different ships?

This is opening the door to a lot of flavour that I'm happy about though. Luke in an A-Wing or E-Wing or Y-Wing (Luke probably being more effective in the E-Wing or A-Wing than Y-Wing), Corran in an X-Wing (probably not as great without system, but lets you field him cheaper), Tycho in an X-Wing (not as great due to a lack of takable actions), Wedge in an A-Wing or Y-Wing (either sound amazing). I'm not as familiar with a lot of the imperials, but ditto for them. Soontir Fel in a TIE Fighter?

I know a lot of those pairings sound like duds, but some of them sound great (albeit possibly OP like Wedge in a BTL-A4 Y-Wing) and as someone who really loves the flavour of the game, and who grew up with Star Wars: Rogue Squadron on N64 (I just got Star Wars: Rogue Squadron II for Gamecube, I'll be having fun playing that over Christmas) and is currently reading the X-Wing novels, I love it.
