....at a very high price.

"Any Methods Necessary"

Imperial Only - EPT - 5 Points

"You may equip crew members from the Scum faction."

Here's my reasoning:

The Rebels are getting a freaking TIE fighter and illicit slots! The illicit slots ARE thematic, but Rebel TIE mini-swarms are the dumbest thing I've ever heard of! You know what IS thematic? The Empire hiring bounty hunters at a very high price! And yet, there's no way to do it.

So, this is a very high price to get Zuckuss, but it should be. You lose your EPT, you spend 5 points, then you spend another point for the cost for Zuckuss. Would you give up your EPT and spend 6 points for Zuckuss?

A variation:

"Imperial Payload"

Imperial Only - Modification - 5 Points

"You may equip crew members from the Scum faction."

Yet another variation that KEEPS the EPT and all the other slots, at an unusual cost:

"Imperial Hired Gun"

Imperial Only - Title - 5 Points

"Pilot ability required to equip. You lose the pilot ability of this craft. In its place you may pay the cost to equip any one Scum crew member without needing or using a crew slot."

I cast my dislike at thee

We don't need their scum.

I would play a decimator party bus.

Gross.

For an extra 5 points, no thanks.

FGD! You can do better than that, I mean - really. Apples and oranges! That piece of crap is not the same as hiring Dengar for 8 points.

Orange Rebel TIE swarms are coming! Why not this?

For an extra 5 points, no thanks.

Fair enough, but the Empire must pay highly and it can't be something that is an auto-include. What cost do you think?

one can never do better than puns or wordplay

All the pilots are unique, so no.

A man is a disappointment.

also a miserable pile of secrets

I would prefer it if they made Imperial versions of the Bounty hunters. So we could have an Imperial Bosk or an Imperial Zuckuss or Imperial Dengar with a different pilot ability.

As for an Imperial IG-88 make them all have the same name but with just 4 different pilot abilities so that the Imperials don't have a bro bot list. After all you only saw one IG-88 in the movie.

Sigh... Rebels get A tie fighter. I would be surprised if a list ever uses more than one.

And it does make sense for the rebels to get access to illicit slots - they have smugglers and scummy types working for them. But their not getting any 'Scum Only'.

Remember, the rebels have hired Zuckass and 4-LOM before.

so the rebel tie may be a 1 of or a 4 of, it completely depends on how many new players realize you can field all four by buying the red core set and two stolen ties

it also depends on the two other named pilots (because we know Zeb is a glorified obsidian squadron)

Sabine's Masterpiece is obviously unique

as for empire, idk I don't think they'll ever get illicits. If we didn't have imperial protocol, after all, nothing would be illicit

The Empire shouldn't get illicits, that's not how they roll. But bounty hunters, yes, they are all about hiring bounty hunters.

Restrict it to 1 cost or less crew or something? There's gotta be a way to make this work. Just gotta find the right price.

Imperials absolutely do not need access to Scum upgrades, they've already got a great slate of options.

We don't need their scum.

This is the best reply, everyone else can go home for the day.

Gimme Imperial Astromechs.

Or Regenerating Shields.

I don't need no drugs to perform well.

Part of what makes scum large ships so good is that their crew options are all really good for one point.

Just make Imperial versions with a diffrent pilot ability and without the illicit slot just like we have both Imperial and Scum versions of Boba and Kath.

The only tricky thing is IG-2000. I don't think there needs to be an Imperial version of Brobots. Maybe give them all the same name (IG-88 B) or only 1 pilot and dozens of upgrade cards and an alternate IG-200 title.

They already got Bounty Hunters. If they want more scum help, they can have all the Binyare Pirates (sans illicit) they want!

If this thread is due to the butt hurt about Sabine's TIE then I have already wasted enough time on it.

No, no, no, no, no. I'm happy to buy a Rebel TIE fighter, but I do think it's *a little* bit silly. This is not butt hurtedness, I just used Sabine's TIE as an example of the crossover that the Rebels are getting (illicits too).

It is very thematic to have the Empire hiring named bounty hunters to do their work. I'm just throwing that idea out there, that's all. I don't want something broken, and I don't want Attack Wing.

No that would be the Where the Heck is the Rebel Tyderium expansion pack? thread.
