Multiple IG-2000 title cards affirmation

By grimdraken, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Ok, bought myself a 2nd Aggressor, as I've really been wanting to try the title card. Only 2 hours before my match last night did I realise that the card referred to "Pilot Ability" not "Pilot Skill". See originally I assumed it meant you had 2 PS12 ships if both had the IG-2000 title card, and nothing else. Imagine my surprise when I actually engaged my reading comprehension skills and realised it actually meant, for example, that both IG-88B and IG-88D get inbuilt gunner and the ability to do 90 degree Segnors Loops, at PS6.

My opponent, a long time friend and X-Wing compatriot was initially surprised, and took it as a learning experience as well. His constant question though, was this, and I'm sure it's wrong, but I'll go ahead and ask it anyway.

IG-2000 title card ONLY gives the printed text ability of the pilots card, correct?

It's not also enabling both ships to also have Wired and Predator if B and D have those respective cards each.

We played under my assumption it's literally just giving each IG the other IG's printed Pilot ability listed on each's A, B, C or D card, and no other shared benefit.

I'm pretty sure I'm 100% correct, but it wouldn't hurt to have you guys yell at me if I'm way off, considering it's taken me at least 4 weeks for the penny to drop on the IG-2000 card in the first place.

(btw, won the match, smashed the absolute bantha-poodoo out of his Whisper+2RG Interceptors, kept him in-arc every round bar 1)

IG2000 only shares the pilot abilities - nothing else. Not PS. Not EPTs. Just the abilities of the IG2000s that you bring with you.

It's not the first time your comprehension skills have let you down, is it? ;)

Just for future reference, here's the IG-2000 FAQ entry

If you have multiple Aggressors equipped with the IG-2000 title and one of the Aggressors is removed from play, all other Aggressors equipped with the IG-2000 title immediately lose the destroyed Aggressor’s pilot ability.

An Aggressor equipped with IG-2000 that receives the Injured Pilot Damage card can still use the pilot abilities of friendly ships equipped with IG-2000, but those friendly ships can no longer use its pilot ability.

Yep that was referenced last night, I flew B off the board.

Ok, so played it utterly correctly, happy to know.

edit: on a touch defensive note, in my defense, I received my 1st Aggressor on my birthday, opened the box, read the cards and never flew it. The guy who bought it for me is the only person that's actually flown the ship, and I found it a touch lacklustre. Buying a 2nd one was the 1st time I'd really sat down and nutted out a 100 point list using the 2 Aggressors.

Lackluster? You must have high standards. :-P

By straight statistics it's easily the best ship in the game. (Not considering dial/base size/forward arc/etc.)
