BTL-S3 add crew member to the Y-wing

The base Y-wing is the BTL-S3. The second crew member is the gunner.

Source please? turret =/= gunner, + there are plenty of other Ys with turrets.

What?! Is there a preview somewhere that shows this? Is it coming in the raider pack?

Inthinknhe meant the upcoming tie only modification.

TITLE

I would love more titles, one that makes the e-wing different and unique would be cool.

The BTL-S3 has a crew in the cockpit manning the turret. It's not an automated turret on there. If you were to put another kind of crewmember on the Y-wing you'd effectively disable the turret.

As for the Double Tap Defender I'm going to say plainly "No". Why shouldn't a 44p ship be able to shoot 3+4 dice in one round? Because you could potentially destroy one of the tankier fighters in one round, with one ship.. That's not balanced at all. There is only one way to destroy a B-wing or Y-wing in one round with a single ship, and that is with Corran double tapping, which uses his pilot ability and leaves him without a shot for a round. Even though it may be improbable, there's still a chance to do so with the proposed Defender. Should a generic pilot really possess that ability?

I was wondering if a two part title might be feasible and fun.

*Tactical Flight Leader

Title, Small base ship only, 0pts

Must have PS 6 or higher to equip

Tactical Flight

Title, Small base ship only, 2 pts.

This ship gains the pilot ability of the friendly ship with the *Tactical Flight Leader upgrade.

Can only equip on ships of the same ship type as the ship with *Tactical Flight Leader upgrade

Some fun ideas:

Wedge with 3X Rookies

Corran with 2X Knaves

Dark Curse with 6X Academies

Dace Bonearm with 3X Spice Runners with ICT

Serissu with 3X Cartel Spacers and a mix of Heavy Syck cannons

That would break the Howlrunner swarm I'm afraid.

Vader and 2 named TIE Advanced, plenty of actions

Jonus and another bomber. They could both get 2 rerolls on secondary attacks, and any third secondary user would reroll 4 dice.

A bit broken I'm afraid. ^^

I know. Muhahaha.

With Howlrunner, however, the 2 pt title means he can't fit 6 academies so you would have to use 4 or 5 Blacks with some EPT's.

Also, Tycho, Vader and Soontir would be limited by this since they have to choose between this and their other very useful titles.

As far as Jonus, after I posted this I looked at Jonus and a Scimitar loaded up with clusters and flechettes with Jendon in ST-321, Weap Engineer and a Mangler. Very scary.

Probabaly right, OP. Could crank up the pt value to 3 or 4 though then maybe not so much. Anyway, just having some fun thinking about it.

TITLE

and where exactly do you know from that the Twin ion Engine is a title card?

not big nuff to fit mod.

OK so it's a Title card for all TIE ships, not a specific Title card for the TIE Fighter, like say an Obsidian Squadron atmospheric mod or something.

YES (finnally, a supporter)

Rogue Squadron title (non unique, Xwing only): 2 points

Add 1 pilot skill and an elite talent. May not equip if your pilot skill is 3 or lower.

it would be 4 or lower... a rouge would be a ps 5/6

Red pilot in Rogue squadron becomes PS5, 1 below Royal Guard... and gains the ability to equip VI to leapfrog the elite intercepter.

The real issue is that it lets Wedge Antillies hit PS12, AND still have an elite slot. Which given the Xwing's lackluster stats, I'm actually Ok with. Rogue Squadron flyes obsolete ships well into the EU, but they get the drop on EVERYONE, which is a pilot skill bid if anything.

The other option is a cost reduction on torpedos, which might be an elite talent option.

what are your thoughts on a Rebel Only Ywing title (for the turret wishbones, as it conflicts with the locked foreward weapons title) that adds a gunner-like effect to turret weapons? If the turret misses, the turret gets another shot?

I would like to see a non-unique "rogue squadron" title for the X-Wing that grants a white 2 K-turn.

That would be cool.

I'm 100 percent convinced we'll see an X Wing: Rogue Squadron aces pack at some point. I expect it to come with one or two X Wings and some real nifty upgrade cards. I'd expect these to include a Rogue title, and hopefully a generic title as well. I'd hate for the X Wing fix to come in the form of a specific title that would see generic X Wings relegated to the scrap heap. Like, if everyone ONLY flew Rogue Squadron pilots because they were the only ones that were any good, I'd be a bit annoyed.

Like Royal Guard Ties, right?

Really, what X wing squadrons can you name in the EU, other than Red/Rogue, and Grey/Wraith? Everyone else moves onto "better" ships, while the high PS pilots of Rogue stick with the low-stat Xwing. It seems perfect, lorewise, for making Xwings the "I win inititive" craft via title. An Xwing only VI that uses title instead of ET puts Red Squadron on par with Royal Guards, Rookies beating PS3 inititive bids, Luke, Wes, and the others pushing init 10 with a talent left, and Wedge kicking it to 11... or even 13, beating out Roark Garnet's pilot ability.

Originally Red squadron (after it was rebuilt following DS1) was split into Rouge flight (led by Commander Skywalker) and Renagade flight (Led by Commander Nerra). The Renagades were ambushed while escorting transports shortly before the Battle of Hoth, with none surviving. Rouge flight of course provided air support in the battle and became Rogue Squadron shortly after. With that, I would love to see a Renagades and Rogues set that included many more pilots (Zev! Rookie One!) as well as a simple Rogue Squadron X-Wing title that gave the Barrel Roll action for one point (or free). And and unique Rogue Leader title that gives all friendly X-wings the same pilot skill as the leader, if they are non-unique. No idea how much THAT would cost! Of course a Rogue Squadron X-wing generic pilot with ps 5 or 6 with an EPT would be nice too.

I would like to see a lot more "title" cards that are not titles at all. I am thinking along the lines of Chardaan Refit, a missile upgrade and B-Wing/E2 a modification.

Find a slot that no one is using or one that has some nice - but not must have - upgrades and use that slot for your pseudo-title. Some examples that I am sure need more work and testing to perfect could be:

Auxiliary Shield Generator

Torpedo, X-Wing Only, 2pts

Increase your shield value by one.

You may not equip the Shield Upgrade modification.

Linked Firing System

Missile, Tie Defender only, 3pts

Must have an Ion Cannon equipped to use this upgrade.

After you perform a primary weapon attack that hits, you may assign 2 ion tokens to the defending ship.

Things like these keep open the possibility of other titles being used for the actual title slot as well.

I asked for a source, not an explanation of what an S3 is. I've seen nothing to prove it is an S3.

As for the turret, well the Hawk has a gunner seat AND a turret slot. Nowhere does turret = crew

As for titles, I'd love to see Rogues (in their proper ships), Wraiths, and Defender Wing. Although we already have Warden and Champion Squadron in the K-wings.

TITLE

I really hope it's a modification. Title would slam the door shut on their main balance path for defenders and mean tie/adv misses out too

If it is a mod, the the rg piolots would have it right along side auto thrusters. Can you imagine the possibilities? What if it made a ptl Fel MORE broken? Besides, defenders dont even have a title...

Necroing for general Title and ship specific mod based fixes.

Ewing Series 4: X points Modification, Ewing only

Add 1 hull.

For each crit rolled against you, roll an additional defence die.

more astromechs and turrets would be cool
