The rules of Black One states "you cannot equip this title if you are pilot skill 6 or lower"

Adaptability FAW states ships don't alter pilot skill until placed in play area.

So I guess it seems that Snap (PS 6) can't take B1 title unless he as VI b/c adaptability doesn't kick in until placed, and since he si PS 6 before he is placed, B1 title can't be equipped.

That is correct, dual-sided cards don't take affect until the ship they are attached to is placed

Veteran Instincts works nicely on Snap for getting Black One equipped on him

So that would also theoretically mean Nien can equip B1 + adapt and then adapt down to PS6, but still be a legal user of B1?
