I was wondering: can the cr90 play alone if you load it with upgrades? Also: why is the Tantive IV title useful? It adds a fourth team to the ship (but they only give you three in the box) and, ok, another copilot. But still, it's really not much, is it?

other ways of speeding games up...

1)if you have a furball off to one side that can be run through ie with PS out sequance, do so...dont wait for the whole table to be at a stange if you dont need to

2) team up fully and not just for stratergy - roll defense /attack dice for others on your team eg Rebels have 2 PS 4 pilots targeting 2 seperate ships of Imp Player 1 so Imp Player 2 takes controll of one them

3) have a single pile of token / movement / range rules that every one uses so your not going 'wheres my x'... if your playing epic at least one of you will have 30+ shiled tokens, 2 sets of turn templates etc

4) dont be affraid to use print out lists rather than the cards lined up by the table

5) allocate a close down time where every one can packup and make sure they have their dials, tokens, upgrade cards etc so your not having to worry in game time (I know I do if there isnt that time at the end to tidy my stuff up ;p)

All good suggestions

I like the 'if it balances its ok' rule

we play that a ship that flies off the table comes back on after one turn double stressed.sometimes as its a house rule of a friend

Means that its not in a great position as yo know where it will me (it comes back at the point it left) and its got no actions for at least a turn but it makes more sense than being 'destroyed' becasue it clipped an edge
