We have a lot of faction specific crew... With the likely expansion of both resistance and first order sub factions will we see subfaction specific crew?

I don't see why they bothered creating the sub-factions if they weren't going to do some faction-specific things with them.

Yup I'd definitely expect some Resistance only and First Order only upgrades eventually.

I think it allows them to put forth some powerful cards that won't have "legacy" interactions to deal with

This is what the Tech slot is for as well.

I also wouldn't be surprised if the eventual T65 fix is 'x-wing only, rebel alliance only' so that T70s can't use it.

Why don't we throw in mods that can only be used between 9:00 to 17:00, and get a cannon that does +1 attack per cellphone on the table!

I think this was mostly done because it would just be wrong to say that Poe was in the Rebel Alliance, and to say that "First Order" Ties weren't in the First Order.

Would feel pretty limited until we get 2 or so more ships per subfaction, but still a decent design space. Perhaps, as noted already, it would be "empire only" or "rebellion only" as fixes for ships that need updates without allowing newer interactions.

Not sure that this will ever happen; just a "interesting, that could work" moment.

Idk if sub faction would work, but I could see limiting crew to a specific ship (Lambda only, Yt-1300 only, Jumpmaster only, etc.)
