To get an R7 on a ship with Weapon's Engineer?

I'm not seeing anything, but maybe I'm missing something.

there are many, many good reasons why there are no ships with astromechs and crew. this is just one example.

Pretty much what I was thinking. It would just be so much fun, though.

You'd still only be able to cause one reroll per round.

But aren't we all expecting the Y-Wing to eventually have a crew slot? That's gonna be interesting if and when it happens.

If only Firesprays could take astromechs.... Emon Azzameen + "Genius" would be so much fun.

If it ever happens it would likely be at the cost of the astromech slot.

For 6 points you get to take two TLs and use one of them defensively. I don't really see this one being that powerful. It's less powerful than Tarn's ability.

I haven't looked at it too hard but off the top of my head the only combo that seems problematic would be R3-A2 and Tactician. What broken Crew/Astromech combos are you thinking of?

Nien Nunb and an R2 Astromech would be great for a ship with a bad dial.

But is that "might be broken" great or "dang, look at all that green" great?

But opening up the number of ships you could tag with this possibility is pretty nice.

I doubt it. The 'crew' is the person running the turret. It is a tight fit in there, which in my Fluff based opinion, wouldn't allow most crew to be able to be able to do their special stuff.

R5-P9 and Recon Specialist being another example perhaps.

Y-wing won't get a crew slot because it'd be stepping all over the B-wings toes in the design space. The "crew" is represented by the turret option.

How about the Rebel Shuttle Tyderium if that ever happened? Would totally change the character of the Chewie shuttle. Somehow it fits thematically that the rebels would adapt it to use Astromechs. The benefit would be reflected in point increases that wouldnt make it too strong, but would make it fun.
