Yes, yes, we can speculate all day bout the little red chips next to the cloak token.

...Or we can look at the rule cards behind the pilots. Rightmost rule card. _______ Beam Token (reference card)

Discuss.

Pulls a ship closer, maybe dealing some damage

Speculatng at the other rule cards... From bottom to top:

Modifications and Titles

Cloak

Decloak

Beam (weapon slot?)

(unknown)

Tractor beam Token

Sweet; and canonical.

The best combo

Maybe I need new glasses...how can you read that on the card???

If only there was another ship that had a tractor beam that needed some love. Oh, right. Defenders.

Perhaps the tractor beam is a cannon slot upgrade, so they can use it.

That'll be awesome If it is a tractor beam, but I cant read the card at all. Still the graphic on the token is a wave, so I could see that being a tractor beam icon. Hopefully it's a cannon so all the bounty hunters can take it.

Very cool that these are finally coming to the game.

I hope not. Defenders had Ion Cannons AND a tractor beam. Not one or the other.

Why 3 stress tokens?

I dunno. We can see a word on the third rule card back that looks suspiciusly like the "Beam" shaped wordblob on the "tractr beam token" card. My speculation is that the Misthunter has a Beam Weapon slot tha needs explaining.

Yea. They could make it a defender title. If it works like it did on the PC games it'll probably just make whites red and greens white. Or prevent positional actions.

Why 3 stress tokens?

One of the pilots or crew could have an ability that causes stress. Or maybe one of the double upgrade sets does.

It's also possible that the Tractor Beam won't be an upgrade at all. But a ship-specific Action. Like the Cloaking Device.

Indeed. Perhaps the card is worded so they can take it as an upgrade. =)

This just freaking blew my mind. The Defender fix could be so beautiful, AND canonical.

-Title. Defender only- "Your ship gains an additional *cannon* upgrade slot. If you have two cannons equipped, reduce your ships squad point cost by 3"
