Not all A wings want Auto Thrusters. It's a trap many people fall into - it can equip it, therefore it must equip it... But when you just have a generic 15pt fighter, or 20pt Greenie, it's not worth a 10-15% investment. It's always worth it on the Soontir's of the world because they're linchpins into the list. An A wing is disposable.

I'd agree on the 15 point A-wing but if you are taking a a Green and taking the points to give them two EPats then Autothrusters helps to protect your investment especially against TLT lists

Yeah I like that. Not sure about needing the Tech slot but maybe.

I included Tech so the old A-Wing couldn't use it.

Right, just not sure I am A. worried about that at 4 pts or B. that I want to fill the tech slot on the new A-wing with it.

I would just leave it as an A-wing only modification. Using it kills your actions so I am not sure it is an issue.

The new A-wing I would put at 21 pts for 2/3/2/2 but with a title. Something like when you perform a speed 3 or greater maneuver this round increase your defense by 1. Flip this card at the end of the round if you do. On reverse, when you perform a 1 speed maneuver you may increase your weapon value by 1. Flip this card at the end of the round if you do.

Allowing you to, at the expense of forecasting your movement go from 2/3/2/2 to 2/5/2/2 or 4/3/2/2.

This is probably way off the deep end in terms of design and definitely needs balancing but I like the concept.

Tech slot, Sloops and maybe an additional shield sounds like safe bets.

and inheritance to all of the A-wing stuff as well.

Now the million dollar question, What do Imperial's get, or is the 1st Order going to be checking it's privilege?

First Order Bombers and First Order Special Forces Bombers - also known as First Order Punishers. And then the Rebels will get a fix for the Resistance A wing and RZ-1 A Wing that doesn't actually fix either.

Any combo in particular caught your eye?

None off the top of my head, really, it was mostly a comment about new ships getting Tech, but I'm sure there's something exciting in there!
