New EPT - Versatile Pilot

By BlodVargarna, in X-Wing

3 points (maybe 2) - You may equip up to two EPTs with "discard this card." You cannot take this EPT if you have more than one EPT slot (no A wing test pilot basically).

I love the 1 point EPTs, a lot a really cool (like cool hand for example) but people rarely equip them. What do you guys think?

Well...in our world of House Ruled Epic you can equip two movement / stress related one use EPTs. Adrenaline Rush, Lighting Reflex, Cool Hand... No extra cost. Playing casual Epic this works OK. But one "DM" writes the scenarios so no tested to prevent abuses.

I feel like it would also need some limitations so that you don't just equip two Crack Shots. Even just Crack Shot plus one more seems to be a bit excessive.

Give Tomax basically a second ept of his choice since he loves crackshot, sure

Damm Crack. There is life beyond this. I know this is a superb 1 pt upgrade. But look beyond. When somebody says "Idea: 2 one use EPTs" and our first draft is two Cracks... I see the influx of the Dark Side.

..."you may not equip the same EPT twice."

****, nerfed already!

If I could put Crackshot and Lightning Reflexes on Bren, I'd have a hard time not taking him in every list.

Adrenaline rush and especially lighting reflexes are really underestimated EPT cards. I still prefer them over crack shot (also on Tomax)

I think it would be nice if you could equip 2 EPTs with the Action: header and get a point cost reduction for each. It would break Youngster, but there aren't that many Action: EPTs worth taking.

Ah, this looks very interesting. Would need to see if the price would need adjusting after play testing, but definitely a good niche to fit.

So Tomax Bren makes it so that it can't be an Empire card...

A Wings makes it so that it can't be Rebels...

Scum only?

Yet another absurdly under costed scum only card, to join the ranks of Zuckuss, Latts, Dengar and so on.
