So, I have had this idea for a while, so hear me out. A fix for ALL OF XWING (may not fix all of x-wing, but it will be fun)

The idea is about the discrepancy between the types of Titles we see. In one group, we have the unique titles like Virago, Millenium Falcon, Slave-I, or Dauntless, while in another group we have titles like TIEx1, TIE/D or Heavy scyck. These titles have different purpose and flavor as well. Unique titles describe a specific ship having alternative stats, while non-unique titles are usually a fix for a problem a ship has (or they help differentiating between specific subtypes of the same model).

Here comes the idea. Every ship should be able to equip exactly 1 unique and 1 non-unique titles (the latter shall be henceforth known as a configuration). This allows ships to receive fixes, even if they already have a title. (The STarViper for example).

Furthermore, all ships should receive at least one non-unique title, so all can have fun!

That is all.

I like this. Allows for another Vader only title for the TIE advanced.

Yep - good idea - very easy to implement, even without codifying "Configuration", just allow "one unique and one non-unique title per ship" (all too simple to phase in via FAQ).

Not sure I agree that every ship then needs to have a unique title - prefer to see that kept for iconic ships from source material.

I'd support this. Allowing one unique and one non-unique title would be an interesting thing, and would allow the title slot to be what it already kind of is - non-unique titles being weird upgrades or crew training like ALliance Overhaul, x7, adaptive Ailerons etc, or being fixes, and unique titles being... unique ships.

Sorry we ****** up the Jumpmaster 5000

A Jumpmaster 5000 cannot be placed in the play area unless this upgrade is equipped

In all seriousness though, adding an FAQ entry that lets all ships take 1 unique and 1 non-unique title is the perfect way to fix pretty much everything.
Especially on ships that need some love but already have a unique title. StarViper, HWK-290, G1-A, Firespray.

You forgot one thing : this card takes either the droid or the crew slot.

Problem is, the rule can't be invoked if the upgrade is not equipped...

Not if you make non-unique titles compulsory!

Might need different options on the Y-Wing and TIE Bomber though...

On the Y-wing, you should choose between 360 turret and droid slot.
MC Quarrie's Ywings (those with 360 turret) do not seem to have a droid.

THIS is a TLT Y-wing !

So your 2nd Y-Wing title could be: lose your astromech slot, gain a crew slot.

Now can have a choice between a droid and a fixed turret, or a 360 and crew.

Crew is not necessary imo; turret upgrade means you have a gunner inside shooting it.

It's that or a points reduction. Needs to be some benefit for having the droid taken away.

And I think the Bomber and Punisher should share one that makes any ordnance 1 point cheaper. I mean, it would be far cheaper for the military to get hold of this stuff than for criminals and terrorists, right?

Or maybe "You gain an EpT slot if you don't have one and your PS is 4 or higher ^^". Not sure cheaper TLT carriers would be a good idea.

I like the idea of unique and non-unique titles equipping at same time to provide older ships like Slave 1 the fix it needs.

I'm not liking the Ywing or JM5K ideas here.

They weren't serious suggestions.

Sorry, with all the JM5K hate I see on the forums it seems like anything is plausible as being an honest idea. No worries.

Nah, my serious ideas would be much harsher to it

Gotcha!

Y-Wing and TIE Bomber . (nothing groundbreaking, just making those ships excel in their actual configurations)

If the Rebels cartoon is anything to go by, it doesn't seem that hard to steal gear from the Empire.
