I suspect arc dodgers like Outmaneuver more than Expose, for the action economy (unless they're turreted). On ships with any agility, it's a cheaper and more synergistic card that combines well with a focus or lock action as needed. Though the arc dodgers I've seen most are more interested in boosting and barrel rolling each turn, and thus preferred Push The Limit.

I like Expose on my large turreted ships, like the Decimator, because they almost always benefit greatly from it (they lose no agility, they almost always have a shot on a high value target, and the extra die helps push them over the defender's threshold). But more and more I'm feeling like it's overpriced. Experimental Interface makes it more appropriate (e.g. with a focus token), or Fire Control for a nice reroll on all those dice. But it's still something I rarely take because of the price and other options.

As for R2-F2, he is easier to justify because more agility lasts the whole round, which helps with swarms, and it's a droid slot, so you still have an elite spot for Push The Limit to get that focus. Biggs loves R2-F2, but other pilots do reasonably well with him too, basically anyone likely to endure focus fire. It's a great way to waste lots of enemy attack dice while your fleet cuts through their ships.
