"Discard to reroll ALL defense dices. To equip this, max Hull 4 and no shields". EPT, 1 Pt.

When I found this fan made EPT one idea hit me. We often equip EPTs on early waves pilots without the EPT slot, with some care. Usually not expensive 3-4 pts upgrades. I think this EPT is very good for Pilots lacking "something" or behind power creep.

Winged Gundark per example. Needs to close to R1. Tie Fighter. No EPT. With his standard AGI 3 not a bad card. Better if Stealth Device on board. Of course not Tier ship but quite interesting and thematic.

This one?

Hhmmmm... it would be interesting if non-EPT ships could equip Elite upgrades with cost 0-2.

Yes. You are my Hero.

I feel like it's worse than Crack Shot. It is defensive, not offensive, so it's different, but having a bunch of Black Squadron Pilots who won't die isn't actually getting you that far. I do think it should apply to bombers, though, because it takes guts to fly an unshielded shoebox.

This is a totally different course, but what about:

"For every damage card you you are assigned, you may re-roll one attack and one defense die each attack."

I'm trying to encapsulate the whole spirit of the slogan. The "we can handle anything" tenacity.

Alternatively: "you may re-roll one die on attack or defense, two if you have a damage card assigned to you".

Both would have the no shields limitation.

I kept the Bombers out just because of Tomax Bren.

Countdown's pilot ability would be a pretty good fit for a "No Shields, All Guts" card.

But since we don't like to reuse ability text, maybe something like this:

No Shields, All Guts said:

EPT, TIE Only, 1 pt

Your Shield rating cannot be higher than 0.

When you are dealt a damage card during an attack, you may discard this card to discard that damage card and any other damage cards dealt during this attack. If you do, assign a Focus token to your ship and discard up to one stress token from your ship.

You may not equip this card if your Hull rating is 5 or higher.

If we're going to take a pilot ability to base it off of, Tel Trevura's seems like a good place to start. This version doesn't make the TIE any more expensive and removes the chance that the TIE will be taken off the table in one shot.


"No Shields, All Guts"
Ept, TIE only, 0 pt.
When defending, you may discard this card to cancel all damage and critical damage results. If you do, deal yourself facedown damage cards until you have one less damage card than your hull value.

You may not be assigned shield tokens. You may not equip this card if your Hull value is 4 or higher.
