The other pilot who has the same pilot ability regardless of the craft she flies is Hera (VCX and Attack Shuttle) and she is also in the same faction.

Personally, I wish they used that system as a cheap and easy way to give us more variety.

Wedge/Luke/Wes in E-Wings/A-Wings/Y-Wings, Corran/Tycho/Keyan Farlander in X-Wings, as you mentioned, Maarek Stele in TIE Fighter/TIE Interceptor/TIE Bomber (shame his ability isn't worded in a way that Proton Bombs would trigger his ability).

It would make those of us who fly largely for flavour a lot of fun.

That said, more to the original point, I feel that Maarek may be able to make better use of his ability in a Defender.

Fly him as part of Palp Aces, with Juke and x7 and he's looking pretty nasty. Or give him TIE/d and a Tractor Beam and he's more likely to naturally land crits.

On top of that, Juno and Vader frankly just have insanely good abilities it makes it would be hard for any other pilot to compete were they to also fly the Advanced.
