I agree that Telsij could probably have the "when attacking or defending" removed from his pilot ability to make things like R7 more viable, I was mostly thinking of how it could be combined with things like R3-A2 to make a 360 degree stress hog, or Outmaneuver to cut through some of the defence of those 3 agility autothruster aces. I kind of assumed it was a given that whatever target you were attacking outside your firing arc would be considered in your firing arc at the same range to avoid somehow creating a loophole to get a range 1 TLT attack or a range 3 ion turret attack. And the ability was never meant to extend to the torpedoes as you have to initiate the attack with something that can already attack outside the Y-wing primary arc.

Zann's inability to equip titles specifically came from two sources. 1: The Virago has a point cost, granted it is only 1 point but that still means its not an auto-equip. The StarViper like several other ships suffers from having pilots that aren't worth their cost for the ship they fly in. Zann and Xizor have the same point cost but Zann gets a inherent illicit slot in addition to his incredibly useful ability for 1 point less than Xizor because he doesn't need the Virago title, this also would allow you to fly 2 Starvipers, Zann and another pilot with Virago equipped. Zann's inability to gain a system slot was for balance reasons since the illicit slot contains a lot of "use and discard" upgrades Zann could have anything from a unlimited 360 attack with "Hot Shot" Blaster to repeated 0 speed stops with Inertial Dampeners to spamming Glitterstim. 2: All 3 of the pilots are at PS levels that those ships currently do not have. There is no PS 7 Y-wing, PS 6 StarViper, or PS 8 Phantom.

Kasan's ability is intended to make her a fat evasion tank at the cost of making her unable to attack and make her fairly predictable. Only 2 maneuvers on her dial are capable of keeping her in place so if the opportunity to attack does arise she'll be forced to decloak using one of those moves (unless she had already planned to decloak that round). ACD only increases her predictablity since most times if she cloaked after attacking it would be because she most likely intended to stay in her current spot to try and attack again, the enemy player could plan accordingly to fly out of her arc (or to get behind her for their own attack). Stygium Particle Accelerator would be more useful to her allowing her to get that extra evade to make her even fatter. The rediculous evasion I feel is a fair trade off for no attacking and having that fragile 4 total health.
