Rebel Aces, B-wing passenger upgrade

By Old Adept, in X-Wing

What about Adv Sensors and Intel Agent. You'd be able to see where a ship is going then possibly be able to barrel roll then move to block or get a better attack position.

This should have been a ywing upgrade. Oh well.

B-Wings actually had a version that added an extra seat in the ship. The Y-Wing represents the same extra seat with the turret. Perhaps we will see an option in the future for dropping the turret on the Y-Wing for a crew slot instead, but I'm not sure what worth it would be.

Yeah if they made a "crew" slot for the Y-Wing the turret would have to go since that is what the second seated crew is already doing. I would rather see an upgrade that added an additional agility die...whether it be a title or a upgrade that takes a torpedo slot.

I hope it costs the sensor slot. I don't think it will be worth points, and it would be dumb/overpowered if it was free.

It's a title.

Yup, its a title card, so you can still take a System. It may cost some points but I wouldn't expect more than 1, maybe zero. None of the titles that allow another upgrade cost points, only the ones that actually give you a gameplay bonus.

If they make it cost 0, unless they make another title, the B-Wing has a crew slot at no cost and might as well have had it in the ship cards. That's dumb.

They're doing the same thing on the A-wing. There may be a limiting factor like Pilot Skill (like on A-wing and Royal Guard), but they could have just printed those extra EPT icons on the A-wing cards. No difference, not efficient way to do it, but would surprise me if it costs more than 1 point or anything at all.

I know in the eu the being was occasionally modified to carry a passenger, but the y wing was built from the ground up to carry crew. If it's carrying a spare gunner, give it that option. How bout using your primary and a secondary attack in the same round? OP, I suspect. I love the bwing, but it's the last ship in the game that needed help. And it's a natural upgrade for the y wing because, wait for it, it's a 2 seater.

Stupid auto correct! !!

I could see losing the DROID for the crew slot, but the b wing is not losing anything for it. Aces should have been an A and a Y, IMHO.

Just wondering what I missed here, where exactly is this title card? I have yet to see it or anything on it so it's news to me.

You can see that there is a title card in the card spead in the new feed about the Rebel Aces. You can also make out that it is a B-Wing title that has the crew pic on it. Thus why people are saying it adds a crew slot.

It's not a passenger, it's a crew member...so they had better pull their weight! :)

If you squint at a high res version of the rebel aces card spread you can make out a title card for the b-wing that CLEARLY has the crew icon in its text, has text that seems to fit the template for adding an upgrade icon to a ship and seems to be named b-wing/e which is the name of the b-wing version that was modified to carry a second person.

So it is basically certain that the card is coming in rebel aces, even though it hasn't been officially spoiled yet.

Oooohhhh I see it now. Interesting! Thanks

I love the bwing, but it's the last ship in the game that needed help.

Oh I love the B-wing, too, and I'm the first to admit it didn't need to be better than it is. But, as a primarily Imperial player, it's about the only Rebel ship I play, and since it's coming anyway, bring it on.

Weapons engineer and fcs... :)

Deadeye, Recon Specialist, and fill the bays with Advanced Proton Torpedos

How has no one mentioned Navigator yet? Navigator on a B-Wing will be awesome, especially with advanced sensors and the ability to barrel roll. One of the premier knife-fighters in the game suddenly gets a whole lot more dangerous when it starts getting even more unanswered shots.

And watch it get ioned and never get to fire any of those torpedoes? Okay, no worries.

I can get behind this plan.

Too short ranged, would rather do ten numb with regular protons, I think

The crew slot should not take away anything!!!

The crew slot title card is simply upgrading the B-Wing to the /E model (E=Expanded)

I did, in conjunction with mentioning Intelligence Agent.

Ah, missed it. :)

I know in the eu the being was occasionally modified to carry a passenger, but the y wing was built from the ground up to carry crew. If it's carrying a spare gunner, give it that option.

To be fair at no point in Star Wars CHAPTER IV do we see a second person in the Y-Wing, we see the pilot getting in and sitting at the controls and to me it looks like he is sitting to far back for another person to be in there.

Perhaps in one of the multiple episode versions you can but I really can't bring myself to watching them ever again.

Im not against the Y getting a crew but I am against it getting a bomb slot but that's another argument......

Might as well keep going, now that you've brought it up. I'd love to see bombs on a Y-Wing. Why do you object?
