Title that wouldn't break Biggs, or the T70...

If you look closely, you will see that 70s have to pay for it, but 65s get a discount.

As far as Biggs, it might not be all that good of an idea.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh, I did not read: "Fill in the blank name. T65 only. Decrease the cost of sfoils by blank." as a separate upgrade. I just took that as a confusingly worded and lazy way of renaming the S-Foils, making them "X-Wing Only. T-70 X-Wings May Not Equip This Upgrade Card.", and providing a negative squad point cost to boot. Seeing that as a separate upgrade makes A LOT more sense, and I approve. :D

It wasn't very clear, and anyway, no worries!

... but it [1 point Rogue title] would make a hard sell on a Blue Sqd B-wing.

I think a general "Rogue Squadron Training" title that could apply to xwings, B's and A's would be awesome, but obviously this b-roll rendition is useless for A's and B's.

We'd need something....... different.

I'd be in favour of something similar to a Chardaan refit to help reduce the cost.

This.

Though it makes Biggs cheaper as well unfortunately.

Another Title idea I like is:

Rogue Squadron

After you acquire a target lock you may assign a focus token to your ship. You cannot equip this title if your pilot skill is 5 or less.

Cost 1

Another idea is:

Modification. Dual card.

X-Wing Only

S-Foils Attack Position

After executing a green maneuver you may acquire a target lock. After you perform a maneuver you may flip this card.

S-Foils Closed Posistion

After executing a green manuever you may perform a free boost action. After you perform a maneuver you may flip this card.

You may still equip one other modification worth 0 points.

Cost 2

A final idea that literally works against Biggs's whole idea:

Title. Partisan X-Wing

At the start of the combat phase, if there are no other friendly ships at range 1-2, you may acquire a target lock.

Cost 0

I really like the last one the best because anyone can take it and it forces you to spread out your attack force for a different kind of formation but still be able to deliver an effective torpedo or buffed attack.

Just FAQ Biggs to cost 2-3-4-5 points more. And done.

What a about a new generic pilot card that has that ability?? first generic with a pilot ability that is not unique.

Very good idea. A PS3 or 5 maybe that is a Rogue Squadron pilot with an EPT.

Exactly, I'd go for both.

PS3 - Rogue Squadron Pilot - EPT/Mod/droid/torp - If not stressed you may perform a free barrel roll action after executing a maneuver.

PS5 - Rogue Squadron Ace - EPT/mod/droid torp - If not stressed you may turn your base 180 degrees after executing a 2 speed maneuver then take a stress. (yes, I know this allows "sloops" and "K-Turns" and a new type of turn. but I think it would be really bloody cool!)

edit: add on:

PS 5 - Blue Squadron Pilot - EPT/Mod/Droid/Torp - your action bar gains the reload action.

I still don't think either of the rogue Squadron pilots would see play as they would still get out flown by PS. Maybe make them 6/7 or 7/8?
