Just wondering what the majority here think?

Can a tie fo use youngster pilot ability?

I'm thinking it can because it does say tie fighter, but I know there was discussion on the past about wording on titles vs ships.

I just checked the latest faq. Didn't see anything mentioned

I say yes, others say no.

I'd say yes too, based on extrapolating from this bit in the Squad Building topics in the RRG on page 20. If it can apply for squad building for upgrade cards, to me it would be logical that it'd apply for other abilities in reverse. Some disagree. YMMV.

Ship-type only: This upgrade can only be
equipped to a ship of the specified type. If the
ship’s type includes the entirety of the restricted
type, it can equip that upgrade. For example,
a TIE/fo fighter can equip an Upgrade card
restricted to “TIE Fighter only.”

I'd say yes, based on the rule Slugrage quoted. If that doesn't apply to abilities and upgrades that reference ship types, then we're going to have arguments about whether Darth Vader's TIE Advanced x1 can be docked to the Gozanti.

OK that's good to know

I guess until something official is said that the way to play it.

Makes sense

That rule is specifically in the "attaching an upgrade to a ship" section, so I'm not certain it applies to any other "identifying ship types by name" situation like applying the effects of Docking Clamps or Youngster.

That's true, but it is the only precedent we have.

Thanks for mansplaining exactly what I said. Good job.

On the basis that Tie Fighter & Tie FO Fighter are not the same ships (different stats, different dials, etc) AND that the page 20 of the new core set refers to Upgrade Cards, not to Pilot Abilities, this situation still requires clarification from FFG

What's mansplaining?

It sounds like some terrible internet slur that needs to be ignored.

I don't think mansplaining means what you think it means....
