Back to one of my favorite topics: how to work crew slots into existing ships. Please start another thread if you'd like to debate whether these ships need such modifications.

What I'd like to discuss here is how much our resident pricing experts think these should cost.

First, my favorite.

BTL-S3 Y-wing

Y-wing only. Title.

Your upgrade bar gains the [crew] upgrade icon.

1 pt.

I made this a Title to neatly preclude someone from taking a BTL-A4 and BTL-S3 at the same time. Makes sense. How much should it cost? B-wing/E2 grants a crew slot for 1 pt, Sabine's Masterpiece grants a crew slot (and an illicit slot) for 1 pt. Thought about some kind of restriction like the TIE Shuttle (meant to keep Palpatine off, in that case). The only two such a restriction would affect here are "Luke Skywalker" and "Gunner". Didn't seem worth the hassle. Especially to exclude a guy named "Gunner" from a gunner position. Right? Might have to price in the danger trifecta people moan about here: the deadly "Crew-Turret-Astromech" combo platter. Can it really be worse than Dengar or whatever people cry so much about elsewhere in the game? C'mon. How much does it cost?

Next up, the Episode VII Bro Wagon (TIE/sf):

Special Forces Configuration
TIE/sf only. Modification.
Your upgrade bar gains the [crew] upgrade icon.
1 pt.

The thought here was you could still add the "Special Forces Training" title. We'll work later to get Poe as a pilot so Finn can ride along. This ship screams for the TIE Phantom treatment as a crew carrier on small base.

And lastly, a newcomer.

Ground Support Configuration

TIE Striker only. Modification.

Your upgrade bar gains the [crew] and [bomb] upgrade icons.

1 pt

Here I am thinking the "Adaptive Ailerons" shouldn't compete with this fighter's (optional) ability to be a light bomber of sorts. The Wookieepedia entry for the TIE/sk says the extra crewmember (and bombs) are optional. Perfect! Here's a way to make it happen. How much?

Nice titles. Especially the Y-Wing one... man, I wish that was a real Title.

Although, doesn't B-Wing/E2 cost 1 point, not 0?

You are correct, thanks for pointing that out!

With the Y-Wing title, I'd make it a 0 point title that removes the [turret] upgrade icon and replaces it with a [crew] upgrade. This would give it more of a unique identity, and push that Y-Wing build towards torpedoes or bombs.

You could just make it a Y Wing Only turret upgrade and skip the faff of making it a title.

E: and for my money, Strikers should have an alternate title for Orbital Operations - gain a crew slot and a bomb slot - instead of Ailerons. Makes them a very different ship, and fluff-wise they were specifically orbital minelayers I think.

Sf configuration is interesting because on the one hand giving backdraft access to tail gunner or Quickdraw access to Vader seems dangerous but on the other they can't equip lightweight frame so 1 point is probably right here. Imperial small based fighters with crew are always a somewhat dangerous proposition though since there are some rather potent crew options that are usually restrained by the fact that most troop carriers are shuttles, expensive (decimator), or bad (firespray).
