The only classic trilogy bounty hunter we are missing as a crew card is IG-88 and I was thinking it could be interesting to make multible crew cards with IG-88 A-B.C & D. Maybe have them work like mindlink but with another bonus and drawback. Scum have so many ships that can take a crew card. Unlike mindlink wich you in theory can spam infinte, the IG-88 cards could maximum go on 4 ships or less if you fly an agressor.

An idea for the crew ability, maybe something like a cheap Gunner effect or something a bit more clever like being able to pass stress/ion on to another ship with the IG-88 crew?

What do you think about the idea?

My thought was IG88A-D building on the overall theme that (3PO and R2D2 excepted) robot crew are about taking ion tokens to do things (LEEBO, 4LOM, etc)

A: Action: take an ion token to gain two shields. This can go over your maximum shield value. When you become ionised, lose one shield.

B: Take an ion token to reroll any number of attack dice

C: when you execute a speed 1 or 2 manoeuvre, take an ion token to take an evade token (yes, including the one straight you do when ionised)

D: when you would execute a bank manoeuvre, take an ion token to change its speed by one, or to execute a straight or turn manoeuvre instead.

And all of them would have some wording to the effect of 'any ship with the IG2000 title or which has a crew upgrade named 'IG88' is treated as having equipped this upgrade.

Or something like that.

They'd have to cost a bumdle though.

Might make a cool set of Dual cards. Something that focuses on dealing with different types of squads.

That would be cool actually. Making them a set such that you can have any pair on both sides of a card could be really fun.

A/B

A/C

A/D

B/C

B/D

C/D

think covers all the combinations.

Tough to cost though.

Dewbie: Dual cards could be interesting. One side, IG-A, reroll one defense die against named pilots, the other side, IG-B, reroll 1attack dice against no name pilots or named pilots. Something like that !

I do like the mindlinked idea passing on to the crew cards though.

I'll try to dig up the other threads on this. Brb...hopefully.

Edit:

Ig88 crew link seems dangerously OP. Just a crew version of mindlink seems amazing. Flip cards could work but seems off to me.

I'd go something light with it.

"When attacking, you may treat the blue target lock tokens of friendly ships named IG-88 or equipped with an IG-88 crew as your own."
