Advanced Launch Tubes

If you have a <torpedo> or <missile> card equipped, at the beginning of the combat phase, you may perform an attack with a secondary weapon that instructs you to discard a card. If you do, you cannot perform another attack this round.

This would give a boost to the low ps ordnance carriers.

Title: You!

Change the name of the pilot of this ship to your own. Choose the pilot ability of any other pilot in the game and use it instead of the one printed on your pilot card.

4pts for generics, 2pts for unique pilots

Second Wind

EPT

1 point

At the beginning of the activation phase, discard this card to remove all stress, ion, and target lock tokens from your ship.

I would probably design a card that would allow you to convert a focus token to a target lock in the end phase, but only if you have the target lock action in your action bar.

If possible, I'd also make a case for some missing characters to appear in the game - Davish Krail, Yoda, Obi-Wan Kenobi, the reader can probably think of more.

"Whistler"

Astromech cost 4

Whenever another ship target locks you, gain an Evade and Focus.

Advanced Ion Cannon

Cannon/Sensor Upgrade cost 8

Range 1-3

Attack 3

Attack: If attack hits, defender gains 1 ion token for each damage dealt and 1 stress token for each critical hit dealt.

You cannot be targeted by attacks if there are other friendly ships at range 1 that the attacker could target instead.

(the anti-Biggs, seems properly scummy)

why? maybe provide some examples for fun... But Yeah. You're right. Maybe restrict it to pilot abilities within your own faction?

Even then. Whisper with two actions instead of a focus after attacking?

A Green Squadron Pilot with this, Biggs ability, Autothrusters and PtL to focus and evade.

A Corran in a K-Wing? SLAMming on the off-rounds.

I like this game...

Lt. lorrir choose Zeta Ace's ability (the way it should be anyway imo)

OOOH whisper with Bossk's doesnt say anything about a faction lock.

OH OGP with title and Weapons engineer and Razzi's ability.

Scrub bomber with blount's

OGP with Crynyd's, Ion Projector and Ion cannon

Modification. Automated Weapon System. 1 point

After firing a missile or torpedo, you may attack the same target with your primary weapons.

Makes ordnance a bit more lethal and gives alpha strikes more punch.

3 Advance or Punishers with ACC Correctors will one-round a full health VT-49

...

I'll take 3

Pilot abilities were designed with the limitations and jobs of their ships in mind. You start letting people pass abilities around willy nilly the game becomes impossible to balance properly and you drive people away. Doesn't attack wing do this? Look how that turned out...

Edit to add: just off the top of my head...carnor jax in a decimator or vader in a phantom..there are serious problems with this

Tie Advanced Prototype Pilot (I do have a name picked out), PS 5: When you perform a BR you may instead BR an asteroid at range 1. If it overlaps an enemy ship roll 1 attack dice. On a hit or crit that ship suffers 1 damage; on a focus you may choose to BR.

OR

Force Sensitive, PS 4 or higher, 1pt: Increase your PS by 1. You may equip other cards with the FORCE keyword.

---------------------------------------------

First one gives you a midlevel TAP that can ACE generics or punish aces. It allows more damage on a 2 dice ship, which is always the problem. You could, albeit unlikely, get 2 damage with good placement.

Second really flavors up the FORCE. Imagine a Move object to move obstacles, battle meditation for a glimmerstim like effect, Force Sight to take a maneuver/ re deploy before first round dials... Imperials could have Inquisitor training, Rebels Jedi training, and Scum could just get Lucky.

Vortex Revision

M3-A Only.

You cannot perform Cannon attacks.

You can perform Torpedo/Missile attacks on enemy ships. (Even outside your firing arc).

Your upgrade bar gains 2 Torpedo and 1 Missile icon.

(Cannon)

3 Points

FAQ: You must equip your ship with the "Heavy Scyk" Title card to use Vortex Revision.

This card!

I would design this card right here, and be held in a place of honor by capital ship captains everywhere for all time!

Heck, I'd design it twice; just to show em!

An EPT that allows you at the start of the activation phase to declare a pilot skill from 0 to you pilot skill that you may treat as your pilot skill until the end of the activation phase. Maybe 2 points? Would allow you to activate when you want to. Could possibly change so you only declare it as soon as you want to activate the ship.

An Astromech card that is actually not an Astromech, but an "Auxiliary Generator" that allows me to Miranda Doni my way around the field.

You want your X-Wing fix? There's one.

EDIT: Or, operatively speaking, a Y-Wing buff.

My previous answer would have been a 1 or 2-point mod but it seems like all my ideas for that are now going to be tech.

I still feel like cheap mods are a gap in list-building but I'm not sure how you could design it without it feeling it should just be tech.

I had an idea for a card the other day.

EPT - 6 pts.

During the planning phase, plan two dials for this ship. During the activation phase, when this ship would normally activate, choose which dial to flip and execute, the other dial is removed from play.

Something a friend thought of:

Yoda (crew)

6 points

At the end of the planning phase you may look at one enemy dial and change on of your own dials.

Tweak mechanic/cost for balance.

I forgot this one:

Tie Interceptor, PS 8, EPT- you may attack in the activation phase and move in the attack phase. Take your action before attacking or after moving.

* Obi-Wan Kenobi

Crew, Rebel only

At the start of the combat phase, you may discard this card. If you do, choose a friendly ship at range 1-3 with a base the same size as yours. Swap places with that ship (Mark your position and that ship's position and move each ship to the other's position and orientation).

4

This isn't the ship you're looking for.

Jawa mechcanical 5pts - Action- roll one defence dice and turn over one weapons card that has been discarded. Focus (eye) symbol will reactivate the weapon, if a blank is rolled you my roll one more time only and receive a stress token.

Limited - small ships only

Something a friend thought of:

Yoda (crew)

6 points

At the end of the planning phase you may look at one enemy dial and change on of your own dials.

Tweak mechanic/cost for balance.

Insanely gamebreaking imo.

Looking at dial already exist in a milder version, but changing your own dial to adjust to it would be insanely powerfull. Espcially if you are down to a 1v1 ship combat.
