Integrated Astromech requirement. One for FAQ or FFG.

Not again! The new rulebook says that in order to use a restricted title the entirety of the restriction has to appear on the ships name. Even the TAP dial says "Adv." so RAW is covered. It should also be clear that this is the intention, because if the TAP would be able to use the x1 title that would mean it was unplayable out of the box, which is idiotic.

Then explain how these titles, which say "Raider-class corvette aft section" ...

...can be played on this pilot card, which says "Raider-class Corv. (aft)":

Either those titles can't be played on any ship that currently exists in the game, or the TIE/x1 title can be played on the forthcoming "TIE Adv. Prototype." It can't be both and still be logical.

Yes but you got to remember there is a reason why titles are specified for a particular section of a huge ship. Mostly to keep a huge ship limited to only 1 title. If all titles weren't tied to the same section than technically players could have equipped 2 different titles for added benefit.

wait wait wait

the huge ship is classified as RAIDER-CLASS CORVETTE (section)?

There are no standard ships in existence with a ship type in parenthesis; it is an epic only feature

leads me to believe that huge ships are not at defined by the same classification as standard ships (they're two bases and two cards for one thing), so there is definitely room for different classifications to apply to them (both cards are Raider Class Corvette, one is the fore and the other is the aft)

I highly recommend anyone with any doubts on the matter to refer to page 20 of the rules reference (available on this website, maybe?). It is incredibly explicit definitions of upgrade limitations based on faction only, ship size only, and ship-type only.

Ship-type only has to include the entirety of the restricted type

HUGE ships are not defined in the same method as normal ships, i.e Ship-type (section), and will either require an faq independently of the base rules or for someone to dig up their epic ship pamphlet and see if it's more explicit about the definition of your epic ship

I don't own the raider, just the transport :(
