Maybe a Formation upgrade could work for imperials. Imperials have 1 TIE Formation slot and for the most part it effects TIEs.

Example, Pursuit formation. When one of your TIEs attack a ship with another friendly TIE once per round you may reroll one of the defenders die. 3 points.

Or

Form up, When attacking if of your TIE has two other friendly TIEs in range 1 roll 1 additional attack die. 4 points.

double sided maybe?

TIE Fighter close formation:

when at range 1 of 1 or more other friendly TIE fighters, if an enemy ship declares an attack against a ship in formation, they must target the ship with the lowest pilot skill if able. After a ship in formation executes a manoeuvre you may flip all TIE Fighter formation cards over.

TIE Fighter pursuit formation:

when attacking a ship, if you are outside it's firing arc, you may change all of your focus results to hit results. After a ship in formation executes a manoeuvre you may flip all TIE Fighter formation cards over.

Experienced Pilot. TIE Fighter Only. 0 points.

Increase or decrease your pilot skill by 1. You cannot equip another upgrade card that modifies your pilot skill.

Hmmm. I think that should do it. I'd fly the hell outta that title. PS 5 Black Swarm? PS 9 Howlie with Juke? Hell, how about PS 0 Academy Blockers?

I think I win the thread.

Edit: also I just invented the first dual sided Title card. Also I didn't read the thread so if all this is old news simply ignore me.

I would like to see a new upgrade type that has no icon like titles. That way they could help out older ships without a lot of upgrade options. For example they could make squadron cards and put on the card what pilots can equip it. Then the squadron card would give the ship a squadron condition for some kind of buff.

"Black Squadron" 1 point

Darth Vader, Black Squadron Pilot, Howlrunner, Backstabber, etc only

Assign this ship the Black Squadron condition.

Black Squadron condition- When attacking a ship at range 1 of another friendly ship with the Black squadron condition reduce the defenders agility value by 1 to a minimum of 0
