So with the Havoc title and Nym taking a Rebel contract. The Rebels get access to the salvaged astromechs that was exclusive to scum.
So bringing back the old topic (once again) about the lack of Imperial droids in both X-wing (and Armada). Still I feel it necessary to thank FFG for finally giving the Imperials access to the TLT, long overdue and now that it is no longer the terror of the galaxy. Lets talk about future expansions and how it would be added.
So Imperial Droids could be added in a few ways.
- Crew Upgrade: the most obvious and simplest addition. Shipwith a crew slot, give it some type of repair/regen mechanic, and done.
- New Ship w/ new upgrade slot: Another way that the Imperials could get astromechs. Downsides of this is that much of the upgrade cards in such an expansion will have to be for the new upgrade type and that will still be 3 at most. Also it puts pressure on releasing another ship for the Imperials with the same upgrade slot and a couple more options for the upgrade.
- Title/Modification: Taking a page from the Wave 11 play book, this could be used in conjunction with the New ship with the new upgrade slot, to give it more variety so only a couple of the first one is needed. Now giving Imperials the access to R2-D2 would be absurd, so again restricting it to non-unique astromechs (the opposite of the Havoc title) might be the better solution.
So what do you think is the best way of adding thee astros to the Imperials. Do you you have any card proposals for Imperial droids, be it a crew upgrade, a new ship with a new upgrade slot and an upgrade card to match that slot, or a title to a new or existing ship?
