Yo folks

Got a crit on a corvette today, and it instructed me to discard an upgrade card. We were unsure whether or not the equipped title would count as an upgrade and would be valid to discard.

We played it as if it was an upgrade card, thematically it just felt a bit weird to get hit by a shot so hard that the title of the ship fell off.

Technically, yes, the Title does count as an Upgrade. However, the crit should have specified which type of Upgrade you had to discard and I can't think of any that includes Title cards in its list of targets.

You've got to weld those nameplates on instead of just riveting them.

The only card I can think of that involves discarding an upgrade card is the Munitions Failure card, which if you haven't got any secondary weapons, doesn't really come into play.

The Life Support Failure damage card instructs you to discard a team upgrade card.

Titles do not appear in the ship's upgrade bar.

Page 5 of the Corvette Rule Book states that Titles and Modifications are not discarded when a section is crippled.

The card was "Deck Breach" and looking at the card now I notice that it is from the aft section damage deck, thus it wouldn't ever be able to affect the Title card.

I guess we had the title on the wrong section, or drew a card from the wrong deck. Either way, the question was seemingly irrelevant.

Thanks for the input.
