What do you think of this one :

''You can had one blue dice in your squadron armement''

Using a Support Team upgrade slot.

This way, it will not be available for every ship.

And think about a Neb-B Escort Frigate or a Glad II with 3 blue dices. Could be so nice... and it could bring back those two whitout title

It cannot be support team because the Quasar does not have a support team slot.

We're going to finally see it in the next reveal, I'm sure. It's in both expansions, clearly FFG thinks players on both sides need it.

What if it was

Modification

"Before attacking squadrons at close range, you may add one blue die to your attack pool."

Then it's not a blatant mid range auto upgrade for any lightly equipped ship capable of taking it - but still useful - if situational.

Oh, i wouldnt doubt it'll be a modification. Something that adds a dice to attacks usually is. Or its quad turbolaser turrets and costs 10

Ooooh, or - after looking at the hammerhead..

Mod

If you did not attack a ship this turn, you may add one blue die to your anti squadron armament till the end of your attack phase.

or something like that. You give up anti-ship to focus all fire on squadrons. Seems pretty fair for 5 points

A blatant midrange auto-upgrade you AS is exactly what many ships need. Especially on the Imperial side where fleets tend to be overpriced and underpowered vs squadrons.

Just adding a blue die to anti squadron armament might further shift the squadron meta towards aces, however. Not sure if that is intended by FFG - dedicating a Quasar and some upgrades to make RnF squadrons viable again, just to crush it by giving Nebs a third blue die?

Seriously hope its something different as I like the TIE swarm theme yet struggle to keep it alive outside of fun games. Well, even during fun games, really.

It's actually a French word.

Quad Battery Turrets:

Offensive Retro.

If Biggs is a at Distance 1 of the target, he and the original target both get blown to pieces

Or something else, less colorful, to mitigate damage-reducing/shifting shenanigans.

That's already in the box - it's called Ruthless Strategists, and the ship comes with a bonus upgrade slot to put it in.

Offensive Retrofit: While attacking a ship you may exhaust this card to add one blue die to your battery armament. If you do you may not attack any squadrons during this activation?

but Rocket that would make a large ship even worse as you could get soled damage from a medium.

I think this is close, but I think that the wording of the card is "When you are attacking a ship, you may exhaust this card, if you do, add one blue die to the attack pool."

It is going to be:

- modification or big ship only. I would say the first.

- offensive retrofit

- while/when/after/before attacking a ship.

- something related with some value. I would like command value to give some love to big and medium ships. Squadron value would work too but would mean love to flotillas too. I am not anti-flotilla but we don't need more incentives for them.

Can't be large ship since it comes with a medium and pair of smalls.

That is why I say it would be modification probably. I pointed to sizes cause is the new stuff on upgrade cards that could fill the gap it seems to be.

Big and medium ship only is too large to not see at least a piece of only.
