YT-1300s and Illicit Upgrades

By mazz0, in X-Wing

So, I was just thinking that Han and Lando really should get to use Illicit upgrades, but how would that be added in?

Well, how about they release a YT-1300 upgrade pack to allow it's use in Scum, which includes a (none faction specific) title that grants an Illicit slot? You'd then have to choose between that and MF, which adds some interesting opportunity cost.

Could include a TY-1300 only modification (or, indeed, Illicit upgrade) to equip some fancy new sensor dish too.

Well, It would mean Han popping pills as well as modding the falcon?

I don't think the new dish is fancy and new I think it's probably been on there since just after Lando knocked it off in RotJ.

Also if they put a YT in S&V I'd like to see the YT-200 but since they went wih the Jumpmaster 5000 instead of that, maybe it'll never happen.

Yeah, I can't see them releasing a Han Solo with a Glitterstim addiction.

I think their "illicit" upgrades is the fact they have more firepower, hull, and shields than a stock YT-1300.

It would be interesting to have a rebel-only crew person who gave you an illicit upgrade.

If the Falcon could equip a cloaking device the Waaaambulance service would be stretched to breaking point

What I'd like to see is an illicit added to the Outer Rim Smuggler...probably as a title restricted to ORS only as the three named YT-1300 pilots have their illicits covered with the additional attack dice and hull and shields.

An illicit upgrade would make the ORS interesting and viable again. Been thinking this is overdue for a while... we have a ship which hasn't seen table time for several waves and now has a base K-wing camping it's 2 dice PWT, lots of cheap hull design space with very little customisation (ok...two crew)...needs a little lift

Han doesn't take spice, he dropped it to avoid imperials.

I wouldn't mind seeing something allowing the OSR to take an illicit upgrade, since it might actually cause people take the OSR.

i still find it amusing that IG-88, the robot can take glitterstims....crackbot away!

Oooh, there should so be some illicit upgrade you can dispose of to get some benefit (shake a target lock or something)!

You want to go home and rethink your life.

Cloaking Device is small ship only.

Are you suggesting that Elan Sel'Sabagno re-thunk and joined the rebels?

So exactly like Countermeasures, but in a slot that still lets you take Engine Upgrade?

OK, not that then. Something more fluffy and fun sounding, even if it's not super competitive.

I wouldn't mind seeing something like Most Wanted that lets Scum run YT-1300s. Give all of the pilots ORS stats but add an illicit slot and maybe a systems or tech slot and maybe a couple of different titles that do cool things.

This would be nice for both YT's. I mean they are supposed to be pretty common freighter types correct? There have to be other smugglers out there modding YT's that don't fly for the rebels right?
