Seems a bit exaggerated. R2-D2   or  R5-P9   rebel regen seems to work rather well with the T-70, particularly Poe. I still see Fat Poe in tournaments.

And even facing Kestal's ability, he's not doomed. Kestal threatens with either a 2-dice primary, missiles, or a turret, and Kestal has to spend his focus on canceling focuses instead of focusing his own dice. And it doesn't power up the whole team against Poe, just Kestal. This pilot will impede Poe, but I don't see it as a Poe Killer.

Maybe an Ion Turret or Concussion Missiles would land a dangerous hit that Poe's ability can't reduce by 1 damage. Or Unguided Rockets, which Kestal wouldn't be focusing if he wanted to disable Poe's ability. Ideally Kestal has a crew-buddy with officers boosting him. But even then... in practice these are probably not quite as powerful as they sound on paper.

I do agree that T-70s and especially T-65s deserve a bit of a power boost though.
