As usual with me and this system, I've changed my original idea. I was leaning towards a sneaky/gambler Togruta but now I'm building a Zabrak. I see the character as being (or having been) a pilot/leader of a smuggling crew, but a job went south and he was the only one to get away alive. I always like to have force powers (it's Star Wars afterall) and usually build around a single one - this time I'm eyeing Enhance (improved so it can be used with both piloting skills).
The build direction I've got so far is this one:
Seeker/Ataru Striker with Enhance and both piloting skills at rank 2 (4 Agility). Technically good at piloting, no talents to support it and rely on Enhance to give me an edge to that end. Talents support physical combat (so I'm not 'only useful in space'). Zabrak racial and a skill dip into Coercion gives me a tiny bit of social aptitude.
I know there is a notable lack of EotE characters, but my desire to have a force power makes FaD careers very tempting (as it significantly cuts back the XP cost on getting force sensitivity). That said, I could also forgo the lightsaber (and take the small fortune), and go Smuggler/Pilot/Force Sensitive Exile or, use the FaD Warrior/Starfighter Ace. That might make the most sense as I could dip into Aggressor (which is a better fit with Zabrak's social angle) to get some 'non-space' talents. If there are already a lot of lightsabers kicking around in the group I may just do this.
TL;DR I can't decide between Seeker/Ataru Striker, Warrior/Starfighter Ace/Aggressor and Smuggler/Pilot/Force Sensitive Exile. The character will be Zabrak, and a former 'smuggling gang leader/pilot'.
