I was thinking.... everyone is talking about ban lists and such. I propose a simpler solution, a new format: Highlander.
Highlander format every card in the game would be unique. Not much else to say, but it creates a sort of composition rule that makes it impossible to spam ships and impossible to spam upgrades.
Thoughts?
Unfortunately it also makes it impossible to run some really fun swarm/mini-swarm lists
Cheers
Baaa

I can feel you there, I think thought it could lead to some creative builds

I don't know. This makes certain lists disappear completely from viability, but does absolutely nothing to tackle squads like Palp Shuttle + Whisper + Omega Leader. It just removes some of the tools other squads might have to deal with it. What problem are you trying to solve?

It isnt to solve a particular problem, but instead creates a new format that would have it's own meta that would have to diverge from the current meta. I know it instantly kills thug life, bbbz, tie swarm, crack swarm, torpscouts. In that though it creates an environment that requires mixed pilot builds.
What about a unique/limited only tourny where you can only bring ships with unique pilots and upgrades that are limited or unique only. Not sure what to do about ordnance as that gets hosed unless all ordnance counted as unique. This removes all EPT and mod slots and a bunch of crew so it is also naked ships vs naked ships
Edited by OberronIt's not the worst idea, but as has been stated, it does nothing to some lists while removing like, Crackswarms and U-Boats entirely. So...meh. There are probably better casual formats to explore.
