Fun thematic upgrades

By Hawkstrike, in X-Wing

Post your ideas for some fun upgrades that are thematically appropriate.

I'll start: This droid's got a bad motivator, look!

R5-D4 [Astromech, 3 points]: When you reveal a maneuver, if you are not stressed, you may reduce the speed of that maneuver by 1 (to a minimum of 0). Then gain a stress token.

Wingman as upgrade on mauler and backstabber when in a list with vader .

Watch your mouth kid, or you're gonna find yourself floating home. We'll be safe enough once we make the jump to hyperspace. Besides, I know a few maneuvers. We'll lose em'!

A Few Manouvers

EPT, 1 point.

After you execute a maneuver, you may discard this upgrade card to perform a free Boost or Barrel Roll action.

"Use the Force"

3 points

You may spend this card as if it was a target lock on any ship. If a card requires you to discard a target lock you may discard this card instead

if this card is used in an attack (either by spending it to fire or rerolling) you may change one of your dice results to an eyeball

Pretty sure that's what Deadeye is supposed to represent.

The Family Guy version of this would be:

After executing a straight maneuver, increase your agility by 1 for the rest of the round.

I actually like this. X-Wing specific title, to improve its jousting? "Full Throttle" would be a thematic name for it.

"No good to me dead" EPT large ship, only once per game when a friendly ship with a equip crew card is destroyed you may take one crew from that ship and equip it to yours

Drift move (basically your ship cuts all engines and powers down)

Your ship loses all tokens (Red TL, stress, focus, evades, whatever). Slide a 1 maneuver into the front nubs and then slide the ship left or right of the maneuver template. Can't roll any dice this turn. Can't take any actions either.

I originally intended this as a docking maneuver for asteroid mining (since landing both front nubs on an asteroid is quite difficult even in normal gaming) , but it can serve as a maneuver where you just want to drop tokens while your opponent is trying to re-engage.

The large based ship can use a 2-straight template instead.

Fun? Thematic? I think you overestimate your chances.

"Don't cross the streams"

Discard this card to place one Attack Wing ship at R1 of an obstacle with the Doctor Who captain card attached. That ship may deploy a Cylon Raider from its rear guides in the end phase.
