BB-8
Crew Slot
2 Points
Unique
Rebels Only
Add a tech icon to your upgrade bar.
You may equip 1 additional crew upgrade that cost 2 points or fewer squad points.
It is very much like snuggling compartments, but with a tech slot. It can fit the "fluff" for thematic purposes.Or would the tech slot be too powerful on Rebel ships with crews?
Yes/no?

10/10. Do want a Snuggling Compartment.

Depends...when giving up a crew slot to get it, probably no so much. A Hyperwave Comm Relay on Heroes of the resistance Han means he can sneak in at PS12, which is irksome but he's PS9 anyway.
Trying to make an 'even tougher' Falcon - Chewie with C-3PO, BB-8, Evade title, Push The Limit and Sensor Clusters can rack up an extra garuanteed evade......but it costs a lot of teeth.
Probably the worst use would be handing comms relay out to a ship. An attack shuttle could probably do nasty things with a comms relay and juke - especially with a twin laser turret.
Oh - one other one worth bearing in mind; BB-8/Pattern Analyser.
Combined with Push The Limit, you end the turn unstressed on a green move - it's probably not as good as Kanan Jarrus (because it's still limiting you to green moves this turn in return for no stress next turn) but someone might come up with a nasty combination for it.
BB8/Kanan/Pattern Analyser. ANd bear in mind it's also giving you another crew slot, so you could do say BB8/Kanan/PA/Jan or Jyn or Rey or a bunch of other good options on a fat falcon or u wing.
I like your idea, tech on pre-TFA ships would be very tasty. Or possibly a bit broken.... (E2 B-Wing!)
Did BB-8 actually manage anything in the movie on board the Falcon? Except tethering himself to the walls and giving Finn a thumbs-up?

Not that I noticed, but there's two more movies to come... I'd be shocked if we don't see a BB8 crew at some point.

Two more movies? But I want it noooooow!

Well you're definitely not getting it until at least next June or so, given that there's a wave already due without it.
You'll just have to eat your Rogue One before you get your dessert.
Difficult to predict if there are any overpowered combos - but thematically I am not that really that keen. Tech belongs to ships featured in Episode 7 and onwards in my mind.
I just think the new Resistance Han, Rey, Chewie, and Sympathiser ALL should have had a tech slot from start.

Possibly, but I think Tech on new Han and new Rey would be a little too powerful. PTL/PA/Kanan/Kyle, for instance. I do any non-red move, and get 3 actions (or a 3-sloop and 2 actions) for no stress.

Your last crew would have to be 2 points or less, but I see your point.

Not given that the person concerned was proposing that the HotR Falcons should have Tech natively.
PTL/PA/Kyle/BB8/Jan or Jyn is similarly going to be very tasty. Anything with two crew can do some mean combos with Pattern Analyser and this proposed BB8.
Snuggling compartment. I'm dying !
a card that does nothing by itself is worth 0 points
adding an upgrade slot is technically nothing, because the slot does jack **** without further investment unless it's chopper
Slave 1 and the other dude are good examples
as is the Compartment of Snuggling
as are Bomb loadout and Genius
Bombardier is a great example as to why these upgrades are worth 0 points (no one takes bombardier)
Edited by ficklegreendiceInteresting.
The 2pt restriction the free crew slot isnt really much of a hamper since theres plenty of 1-2cost crew for rebels to pick from.
hotrHan is the main one that comes to mind. Deploy at PS0 with Hyperwave dead center of the enemy board edge, no matter where he goes you can 1hard and fire. If he deploys to attack you just illicit SLAM away.

There are decent zero-point Elite and System slots now, too, which I guess justifies R2-D6 (also integrated astromech) and Virago. Sabine's Masterpiece suggests that FFG still think adding multiple slots is worth a point, although since BB-8 as suggested is using just 'not quite using a full crew slot' rather than actually adding one, it's probably a washout.

Kannan does not work with PA because he triggers after the maneuver not during check pilot stress
lmao, can we please call it Snuggling Compartment from now on?

the decent zero-point elites and single system are decent because they're 0 points
overpaying for a slot just to slap them on a ship isn't necessarily a good investment
except in the case when you're enabling integrated astro for 1 point (the cheapest investment possible) anyway
Sabine's Masterpiece is a bit of a special case due to potential abuse of Captured Tie title and possible crew + illicits (of which BMSTs can already be abused, as can the EMP thinger and any crew that provides support capabilities)
Virago , though, should never have been a point. It shouldn't even have been a thing. Vipers should have just come standard with those slots

Question about Primed Thrusters:
If you are already stressed, lets say from a K-Turn, and you use Primed Thrusters to Boost, do you get another Stress?
Or do you only get another stress if you Boost after a K-Turn and THEN Push the Limit to Barrel Roll, focus, TL or Evade?
Thanks for your help
All I know is that I need to upgrade my minivan with a "Snuggling Compartment" That sounds awesome!
Why is everyone just now seeing snuggling compartment. That's what people have been calling it since the spoiling of it.
Edited by Hujoe BigsAttack Shuttle
BB8 as proposed
Primed Thrusters
That would drastically add to the maneuverability of Ezra and Sabine
Weapons Guidance purrs nicely as Finn strokes it lovingly and calls it his own private Poe.
There's so many permutations to check though.
There's 19 crewmembers costing 2 or less.
7 Tech
10 ships with crew capability
3 or 4 ships with access to illicit adding 10 more upgrades into the mix
Astromechs, System upgrades.
That's an enormous lot of combinations that haven't been tested and checked.
Ibtisam, Elusiveness, Sensor Jammer, Sensor Cluster, BB-8, Jyn Erso, B-Wing/E2? Pricey, but tanky as all get out.
