The Illicit upgrade slot is undouptedly the most fun one when it comes to creating new upgrade cards.

I wondered what would happen if you regulary consume Glitterstim to be a better fighter pilot over a series of battles. Here is a possible answer:

Basically the opposite of Veteran Instincts.

Burnout Pilot

Illicit

"Decrease your pilot skill value by 2. You cannot equip this card if your pilot skill is 4 or lower."

-1 points.

Here is the Scum answer to SLAM:

Hyperglycerine Injectors

Illicit

"ACTION: Discard this card to perform a SLAM action, then roll a red die. On a <hit> result, assign yourself a stress token. On a <crit> result, assign a stress token to all ships in range 1."

2 points

There are different reciepes for hyperglicerine and nobody knows exactly how the engines would react ...

Lets get creative once again!

Post your ideas.

Gravity Projecter

Large ship only

2-3 points

Discard this card at the start of the combat phase, during the combat phase lower the agility value of all ships at range one of you (including yourself)

Idea just popped in my head, but i think I have a custom card on my computer somewhere...

This is an old card I made, before Glitterstim came out.

Deathsticks

-5 points

After three turns immediately destroy this ship.

Weapons Overload

Illicit, 0 points

When performing an attack with your primary weapon, you may discard this card to add 1 Crit result to your dice roll, then assign 1 Ion token and 1 stress token to this ship.

Shield Overload

Illicit, 1 Point

At the start of the Combat phase, you may discard this card to assign 2 shield tokens to this ship (up to your maximum), then deal one face-up damage card to this ship.

Salvaged Parts

Illicit, -2 points

This card has a negative point value.

At the end of each Combat phase, roll one attack dice and suffer any Hit or Crit results rolled.

Stolen Transponder

Illicit, 2 points

At the start of the Combat phase, you may discard this card. If you do, for the rest of this game round you may not perform any attacks and enemy ships may not declare you as the target of an attack.

i was thinking the same thing for a transponder, but had the name be Sliced IFF Transponder, and i had it until you declare an attack you cannot be targeted by the enemy.

Bounty Contract

Limited

4pts

At the beginning of the first round select one enemy small or large ship. When friendly ships attack that ship at range one or two the defender rolls one fewer defense dice.

I like the idea of something like this but whether it should be your whole team/ just who equips it and what the actual cost should be makes me unsure. I figure this way it is costed a little over stealth device.
