Smuggling Compartment spoiled.

By dewbie420, in X-Wing

Dash doesn't need engine. Let's not forgot an engineless lone wolf Dash won Gencon last year.

And I think that's the biggest thing that Dash has ever won.

I like the thought of a snuggling compartment.

Guidance Chimps, Tractor Beans, and now Snuggling Compartments. I like it. (And you can use all 3 on the Outrider !)

If you had a blacklight, that whole ship would look like a Jackson Pollock painting.

Dumb as hell. The YTs don't need a buff. If anything, they should go to scum.

Right, YT-1400 doesnt need a buff because its used all the time /kappa

YT2400 is literally only used with Dash. This might open up other pilots.

I imagine the only reason Scum doesnt have them is because the main pilots that use them are rebel friendly. Han does not fit as a scum since hes got the hots for the LEADER of the rebel forces for pete's sake lol (or at least 1 of them)

Yeah, Jumpmasters could use the help.

The worst part about this card is that it doesn't say " YT-1300, YT-2400 and YT-2000 only. "

One would assume that, if we ever got a YT-2000, it could come with the 'Illicit' upgrade built-in (?for just some of its pilots?).

Not that I'm saying it's likely we'll get a YT-2000, given how much new stuff seems to be coming from "canon" sources, these days. Seems more than enough to keep FFG busy for the foreseeable future. But ya never know - if it does come out, though, it can just be designed and balanced from the ground-up based on the currently-available slots and meta, rather than needing to have something new and thematically appropriate 'patched in, later'.

YT-2000 inbound sometime in the next year...

Dumb as hell. The YTs don't need a buff. If anything, they should go to scum.

Yeah, Jumpmasters could use the help.

I'd be 110% down with feedback jumpmasters that could SLAM (probably only once per game SLAM, but I'd take the hell out of it) :)

the most hilarious thing would be you could still take G-chips with the compartment :P

no wonder it's yt only

Nevermind.

we're not thinking Smuggling Compartment is going to make Dash the bee's knees again, are we?

sure, you make aces more weary but you're fodder for torp scouts far more so than you would be with engine

Yeah, but what if you put snuggling compartments on an Outer Rim Snuggler?

**** van?

Just offhand, the Compartment also sounds like it could be solid with the new Rey. How's this for a fat falcon build?

Dash doesn't need engine. Let's not forgot an engineless lone wolf Dash won Gencon last year.

And I think that's the biggest thing that Dash has ever won.

You mean a National Tournament ? That's pretty respectable. The only thing higher is Worlds, of which there have only been 4 tournaments ever. Any ship or player that has won a tournament at the National level shouldn't be scoffed at. Sure, Dash isn't as good in the current meta, but it will always be a big deal that he won the biggest national tournament in the world one year.

Yeah, that's my point. The best tournament result Dash has ever produced (and it was a major tournament) was without an Engine Upgrade. I'm not sure why you think I scoffed at that result.

Oh my apologies then. No worries!

I would like to pass a motion for the community to call these "Snuggling Compartments" please.

Do I understand this correctly - Smuggling compartments uses your mod slot but gives you a illicit slot? You do NOT gain an additional mod slot AND illicit?

Do I understand this correctly - Smuggling compartments uses your mod slot but gives you a illicit slot? You do NOT gain an additional mod slot AND illicit?

you do NOT get an additional mod slot because they technically don't exist

you DO, however, get to equip an additional mod that costs 3 points or less

It is a mod. It gives you an illicit slot. You can equip an additional mod of 3 points or less.

Agreed on it pairing well with Rey, but I'd go Cluster Missiles over Homing since you get rerolls + focus on both shots with Glitterstim + Rey's pilot ability. At that point I'd probably go Counter Measures over Guidance Chips too.

The Card Text reads

"Your upgrade bar gains the <Illicit> icon. You may equip one additional modification that costs 3 or fewer squad points."

So, it occupies your standard modification slot, and grants an Illicit slot. It also allows you to take another modification with a limited cost. So, you can take Compartments with Hull Upgrade or Counter Measures, but NOT Engine Upgrade or Shield Upgrade.

I think this is probably the way to go with it. Rey is moving at PS10. No matter what she sets her dial to she can decide to burn inertial dampeners to stop as a white maneuver. She gets a stress token which is cleared by Kanan, getting a focus from Kyle, and then taking a TL as her action. She can then throw an almost guaranteed 4 hit/crit attack that negates an evade token. She can also choose to do something similar when she sets a 3 bank using the Falcon title.

Kk's redundant there. Fly well enough and her ability gives you rerolls, allowing you to focus as your normal action

You now have room for gunner

I second this motion. All in favor of Snuggling Components?

KK's there to get off the Homing Missile.

If I wasn't taking him, I'd throw navigator into his seat. With Kanan, ID, and Navigator you should be able to get in-arc shots at **** near anything moving at PS10.
