Crew Card Ideas: IG-88

By PastrySandwich, in X-Wing

I couldn't find this topic anywhere else, but forgive me if I am reposting old hat. So with the next round of scum crew we have all the (movie) bounty hunters in the game. Expect while all the others can hang out with one another on other ships as crew cards the Brobots remain stuck on the Aggressor. I thought maybe we could brainstorm some good ideas for how to add IG-88 as a crew card.

My first thought was to allow them to integrate into the IG network.

I looked at this 2 ways:

3 points Gain the pilot ability of each other friendly ship with the IG-2000 title.

7 points Pick an aggressor pilot gain that pilot skills along with any pilot skill from each other friendly ship with the IG-2000 title.

A more powerful version of the same idea.

I think this is the more obvious version but a bit hamfisted in its approach. Not all scum ships can benefit so we are really looking at A and B (C only with an engine upgrade) but they can provide some decent addons. Hound's Tooth would love B and Fett and A would be great in a swarm. Ultimately I think it would help the bring the aggressor into more multiple ship builds.

My other thought was use the "best" ability from IG and make it a crew ability.

6 points After you perform an attack that does not hit, you may immediately perform a cannon weapon attack. You may change 1 focus result to a hit result. You cannot perform another attack this round.

Basically this is the scum version of Luke Skywalker. A slightly more expensive gunner with the 1 focus ability.

Just some brief thoughts about getting IG-88 into a crew form, thought/other suggestions are more than welcome.

IG-88 was known for not taking prisoners and not caring for organic a in general. I would say a scum version of ruthlessness, but maybe deal a facedown damage card.

So you want brobots on steroids or a luke alike. Going to have to say a big no. Tired of IG already this season. Think we can hold off for a crew card a bit. Also Igs don't like people. Hard for me to picture them riding crew.

A crew that is mean to its pilot, sounds scumy.

Sounds like we are getting the gain any friendly Aggressor ability!
