With Lightened Frame, if FFG wants Punishers not to collect dust, and Bombers to more than just casual fun (I love my Bombers, but am realistic), they need to be able to equip 2 mods, of cost 2 or less. This would let Bombers either go all out offensive with LRS and Chimps, or choose 1 and then Lightened Frame. That just might make them competitive.

You don't think that Long Range Sensors plus Guidance Chips on the same ship might make them under priced?

No. Especially not on a Punisher, which then loses out on a lot of the benefit of FCS.

On a bomber... no, they're still monumentally fragile.

I would love to see the text on Smuggling Compartment applied to all zero cost modifications.

"You may equip 1 additional Modification upgrade that costs 3 or fewer squad points."

Would be amazing!

T-70's with Integrated Astro and Autothrusters.

T-65's with IA and Vectored Thrusters.

Bombers with Guidance Chips, Long Range Scanners and Light Frame. Pick 2.

Only helps ordnance carriers and X-wings so it's not too crazy.

I was gonna knee-jerk there and say no outright, but actually the only real problem cases are the Phantom and the Defender.

TIE Fighters rarely take a mod anyway, because cost.

TIE Bombers are a little overcosted right now and being able to take LRS and Chimps or one of those and Lightweight Frame would really help them. Ditto Punishers.

TIE/fos are mostly the same as TIE Fighters, they don't really want to get more expensive, and mostly don't want to take many mods. OL might want SD and Mk2 maybe?

TIE/sfs only really have one mod they want anyway once Frame comes out. Maybe Mk2 as well.

TIE Advanced rarely take mods other than Engine Upgrade. Engine/Mk2 on Vader would be nice but Vaders not S-Tier right now so fine.

TAPs, I guess Inq would be nice with ATs and Stealth or Mk2.

Strikers... Frame and Mk2 I guess. WHether that would be OP remains to be seen.

So yeah, the only real issues with this idea would be Phantoms and Defenders.

You could give Vader Autothrusters, since Eu adds the boost to your action bar. That would be concerning!

It would be awesome and give Vader some table time again.

Does anyone else think the Royal Guard TIE title should apply to any TIE not just Interceptor?

I admit I only want this so I can give Echo SPA+ACD.

This would break Defenders, just think about one with Shield, Stealth and Title.... or Boost, Auto

I am thinking about it. SO I have no a PS8 market Stele with 3/3 hp, target lock, focus, boost and barrel roll autothrusters for 41 points and still no ept and a lousy action economy. I don't think this would break defenders at all. Remember defenders don't have evade and they are already overcost, you just throw even more points onto a ship that is not point efficient. PTL is not good either without MK2 on a defender, not even on Ryad. The Royal Guard title is on defenders objectively worse than the x7 title.

except you can only have 1 title so it wouldbe either royal guard or x7 not both

Now that's a fleet!

That would be interesting actually, a Defender with EU and AT

How would they loose out on FCS?

Fire Control Sensor is a Sensor Upgrade.

Both Long Range Scanner and Guidance Chip are Modifications.

I'm not sure either way. You think that Long Range Scanner, Guidance Chip and Fire Control Sensor is balanced on the TIE Punisher; also Long Range Scanner and Guidance Chip on a TIE Bomber is also balanced. Just asking?

It would definitely improve their attack potential.

Because if you're at any range other than 3, you can't use FCS if you have LRS, it blocks you reacquiring the lock
