Crew Cards

By Tuls, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Looking for a clarification. Are crew cards allowed to be used on any ship that has a crew icon in the upgrade bar?

I know Raymus Antilles can only be on Huge ships. Also that unique name (ex Luke piliot, Luke crew) can only be one per list.

I seem to remember someone saying Han crew could only be used on the CR90 but then you see lists with C-3PO on the Falcon. Also saw a post when FAQ was released about certain crew cards and what ships they could be on.

Unless a crew card states a restriction it can go on anything. Han is playable on any rebel ship with a crew icon.

As Aminar said, check if there's a restriction like "Huge Ship only", or "Rebel only" or "Imperial only". There's quite a lot of generic crew that can be used by any ship; Flight Instructor, Gunner, Intelligence Agent, Mercenary Copilot, Navigator, Recon Specialist, Saboteur, Tactician & Weapons Engineer.

There is one restriction not mentioned on any cards - Navigator cannot be equipped to Huge ships.

Also the unique names rule means you cannot have a pilot and crew card with the same name in the same list.

Although some crew from the Huge ship expansions can be used on ships with crew upgrades, some have impossible requirements to fulfill, such as energy (Targeting co-ordinator requires energy to use).

Thanks for clearing that up. Where is the Navigator rule at for future reference.

No Navigator on huge ships? Anyone know why? Other than the restriction in the Tourny rules, of course.

From what I've read it makes their ramming small ships easier.

Yep, now I can see how that would turn the game into a ram-fest. Fairly reasonable to restrict it then. Thanks Tuls
