Squad build question concerning upgrades

By Final Draft, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hello~

So, I recently got into X-Wings Miniatures about three weeks ago and I'm pretty much hooked.

I've been looking over what I bought (I went a little crazy) and was working out builds. My more recent purchase was the VT-49 Decimator, a ship I practically drooled over when I first laid eyes on it. I noticed it had three "crew" upgrade cards, and noticed that these crew upgrade cards have two types: generics like Fleet Officer and Recon Specialist, and named crew like Mara Jade and Moff Jarjarodd, the latter two having the same "dot" indicator that the named pilot cards have. So my question is, when upgrading the Decimator or any ship with two or more crew slots, can more than one unique crew member be used? Obviously not two Maras or two Moffs, but like one Mara and one Moff on the same ship.

I have a second question, as the Modifications and Titles seem a little confusing for me. These particular upgrades don't show up on the cards, and the rule card for Mods and Titles seemed conflicting. Can any ship have a modification and a title? Like the Decimator could have the Dauntless title and the Tactical Jammer? And also, does this rule apply to generic ships? Like Academy ties, rookie pilots, et cetera.

Thanks for the help~

Great game, huh?

You can put all named characters on the decimator if you want. Only limitation is none of the same character can be in your fleet. That includes not being able to use vader the pilot and vader the crew in your fleet.

For question 2, elite pilot talents are different from titles.

You can use one instance of each • card for your entire build (the • being the symbol for a Unique card). So yes, you can have • Mara Jade on one ship, along with • Darth Vader, and anyone else. Just no Mara Jade or Darth Vader on *another* ship at the same time. There is also a "Limited" class of crew that occurs with Huge ships (Tantive & Transport, and the upcoming Raider). You can have one instance of a Limited crew per Huge ship, but you can have one on each of the Huge ships if you want.

Titles are entirely separate from Modifications, and you can have both on any appropriate ship. Virtually every ship can have one mod (the TIE Interceptor Royal Guard can have two), and any applicable ship can have its title - some are unique and some aren't. Things like Royal Guard or BTL-A4 Y-Wing you can bring as many as you have the ships for, but things like the Millenium Falcon or Slave-1 are unique, and only for their specific ship. Generics can have titles, if they're for that ship class.

@Darth Emphatic: It is a great game, and I love it so~<3

@Darth Emphatic & @Slugrage: Thanks for the info, guys~ that solves that mystery for me :) I was worried I'd have to re-design the builds I worked on. XD Thanks again

@VanorDM Thanks for the build links! I've been using them a lot to experiment and they really take the headache out of keeping track of points, sorting through upgrade cards, et cetera. Bookmarked for sure :)
