Quick addition…
Is a Tie Fighter with an attached Black Squadron Pilot considered a Black Squadron unit? That would make the card much more useful.
He's already pretty darn useful. Remember that the icons he has built-in are edge dependent, whereas those he grants to a vehicle he's enhancing are not. So strap him in and watch the ship and its pilot become a lot stronger than the sum of their parts.
So if I attach BSP as an enhancement to, for example, Vader's Tie Advanced (1 normal unit damage and 1 normal blast damage), and I use it in an engagement, and win the edge battle, I get to use the Edge-enabled icons on the BSP card itself, as well as the non-edge icons the text grants if used as an enhancement, for a total of three unit Damage and three Blast Damage?
No if attached only counts as the enhancements and uses its icons. Not the unit icons he would have if played as a separate unit.

False. When being used as an enhancement the BSP is not functioning as a unit and does not add its edge dependent icons. The statement above was talking about how the icons he adds as an enhancement are not edge-dependant while the icons he would have if instead played as a unit are.

Okay, that's what I thought, but one of the posts above implied that it might work. I looked around in the rules, and didn't see anything that addressed this issue directly - the closest thing was the rule that says you can't use an enhancement's Force Icons in the Force Struggle if it is attached to a unit that is committed to the force.

The trick is that it's played as an enhancement, not a unit. In that case, the edge-dependant icons printed on the card don't matter because only units can strike, not enhancements. I will admit that the rules don't really clearly address this specific card in some ways (as no other cards have a function remotely similar). However, on this one I would be nonplused if they ruled differently than I'm interpreting it (and a bonus commonly-misused vocab word of the day).
