Brainstorm a new Slave 1 title?

By FluxCapcitr, in X-Wing

When attacking a small ship base increase your attack by 1. When attacked by a large ship increase your agility by 1.

6 points, unique.

A little too general I realize, but flexible and different at the very least while also providing different benefits against various opponents.

Just remember, equipping the existing Slave-1 title allows a Firespray to equip the 0-point Long Range Scanners. That's a pretty good option.

You can change the Slave 1 to a duplicate of the Navigator, allowing you to take a different crewmember while giving you a lot of flexibility.

Even the maneuvering fins of the YV would be nice.

Exactly. I think this would be a great option - I'd take a free Navigator (or perhaps a more limited form like Juno's ability) on any Firespray and it would be particularly good on Imperial Boba.

The Emperor's Bounty

Imperial Only 2pts

At the beginning of the game, declare one enemy ship as the Emperor's Bounty. All attack and defend rolls between the Firespray and the targeted ship are treated as having a Focus for the Firespray.

or

Bounty On Their Head

3pts

At the start of the game, declare one enemy ship to have a Bounty on their head. If they are not in your Primary or Auxiliary firing arcs, you may perform a free Boost or Barrel Roll action. If they are in your Primary Firing Arc but not range 1, you may perform a free Boost action.

Its a bounty hunter ship after all. Giving them a reward for claiming the bounty would be a snowballing effect and ew no..just no.. but give them 1 target that they can perform obscenely well against would be fitting of a Bountyhunter, since if they see their bounty theyre going to gun for them and not the idiot to the side.

Yeah. Kind of a missed opportunity to do that with Kallus instead of making it a Boba Fett ability.

It would be cool but maybe with another name than slave-1 (In case of we fly 2x firespray ; especially if one of them is a scum Boba + crackshot + 4LOM + GC + EM + homing missile + slave-1) ... ^^

Or any mouvement tricks with the trigger "when you reveal a *manoeuvre* ", like :

  • FrakingSpray-31 (1pt - unique title) : When you reveal a bank manoeuvre, you may increase or decrease its speed by 1 (between 1-3).

- Not the real navigator but still effective for 1pt aaaaannnd adds two green manoeuvres :)

A title which modify dice to crit would be cool too (especially for imp Kath) :

  • BastardSpray-31 (2pt - unique Title. Imp only.) : When attacking with your primary weapon, if you get a TL on the defender, you may change one of your [blank] results to a [critical] result.

I Also found the CheapCreep title in the Custom Card league very interesting :

Slave 1

Title

Firespray Only

0 Squad Points

Your upgrade bar gains one Illicit, one Torpedo, and one System slot. All upgrades equipped to this ship cost -1 squad point, to a minimum of 0. You may not equip this title if your Pilot Skill is 6 or lower.

The idea is to exemplify the modular, customized nature of the Slave 1.

Boba Fett

Imperial, PS 8

39 Points

If you deal at least one face-up damage card to an opposing ship, for each face-up card dealt you may choose one upgrade card equipped to that ship and discard it.

Simultaneous Fire

You may use your primary weapon to attack one ship in each arc. If you choose to do so, each ship you attack gains a target lock on your ship.

Slave 1

Title

Firespray Only

0 Squad Points

And also to make it an overpowered beast.

That is just utterly ridiculous.

VI, for free

Extra Munitions, for 1 point

Seismic Charges, for 1

Tracers, for free

Let's add an FCS for 1

An Ion Cannon for 2

Zuckuss, for free

Double Dampeners, for free

And some Anti Pursuit Lasers for 1

That's 10 points of upgrades you're handing out.

Put this on Scum Boba and you a have a PS10, not caring about stress, rerolling, target locking, having the defender reroll everything ultimate destroyer.

Simultaneous Fire

It's a Firespray, not a TIE/sf :P

Slave 1 is one of the most heavily modded ships in the Star wars Universe. X Points - Bar gains System Upgrade and Mod slot.

You can change the Slave 1 to a duplicate of the Navigator, allowing you to take a different crewmember while giving you a lot of flexibility.

Even the maneuvering fins of the YV would be nice.

I have flown navigator scum Boba Fett and it is awesome. Having this ability be on a title would be amazing. The firesprays single crew slot is so precious, especially with all the amazing scum crew.

Definitely a new title should help maneuvering. That means I vote for a title that gives barrel roll for 1-point. Flying 'Expert Handling' Boba Fett is great, but the stress that card gives greatly limits effectiveness.

Engine upgrade is great, except it's pricey compared to other large ships that come with boost or barrel roll, like aggressors & jumpmasters.

Illicit slot with a 2 point discount.

Slave 1. add 1 extra munition tokens to each of your equipped <missile> and <bomb> upgrades. 2 points. :P

One of these titles should be the Andrasta , the Emon Azzameen's ship.

You guys figure out the text (preferentially lore-wise) and I can make the card.

EDIT: oh, there is alreay an official Andrasta title. [facepalm]

OK, couldn't be more simple:

For fluffiness I wonder if Hondo

Ohnaka changed the name of the Slave I while he owned it. Nevertheless I would like to have Hondo on the game...

I think a Title that would reflect the time he possessed it would very pirate-y.

The Metal Bikini

Firespray-31 Only. Title.

You may equip 3 different Modification upgrades.

3 points

Given Emons ability, the Andrasta title should be something bomb related (the existing one isn't bad).

The issue is that in order to currently maximize Emons ability and have multiple bombs, one must either take the current Andrasta or Slave 1 titles. IMO, any new title has to either also allow multiple bombs or be so nasty or efficient that having only one bomb is still worth it. Rewording is needed, but here are my thoughts:

Andrasta - 0 pt - reduce the cost of any equipped bomb by three points

You will only get one bomb, but can either get it for free or get a cheap proton bomb to drop under someone.

Andrasta - 0 pt - You may place a bomb using the front guide posts.

A copy of deathrain, but it makes Emon able to put a bomb almost anywhere, even if it is just one.

Andrasta - 2 pt - Your upgrade bar gains two additional bomb icons. The cost of each equipped bomb is reduced by 2 points.

In effect, it's a points reduction, but only if you load up on bombs. That said, it does make the previous Andrasta title irrelevant which probably isn't something FFG would do.
