Hey all,

Would you like to give me your opinions/math-guesses on these?
I'm typically looking to buff under used ships just enough to be useful. I'd rather stick to core elements of the game, utilize existing cards, be simple, etc.
Feel free to offer new suggestions for under used ships too. But keep in mind I like things simple, and hopefully balanced.
Also looking for anyone who would want to volunteer to make some quick versions of these as cards.

I like where you’re mind is at with this one, but it needs some work. For starters, if you have 3+ TIE fighters in your list then the vast majority of ships you’ll face will have a higher PS than you, meaning they will shoot before you and this condition will never affect them. I would change it to something like “At the start of combat, each enemy ship that has 3+ TIE fighters in arc at range 1-3 must...”

Also, there is already an EPT named “Intimidation.”

Oh wait that's true... Should be more like tractor beam...

I think this should then be a unique condition. lemme reword it.

Keep em coming. I love house rules of any kind. Shows that people care about the game itself, not only about winning by flying the latest shizzazz.

You do NOT want to deal with the mess that is large base decloaking...

Haha! "You thought I'd be here, didn't you? Well, watch me clear half the board with my decloaking magic shenanigans!"

Its only one time a game so I don't think it would break anything, especially on a Firespray. Takes up a mod slot too. I'd would just add that when you decloak, you perform a standard large base barrel roll.

I really like squad based upgrade card ideas and this seems very balanced. I had similar ideas with T-65 squadrons:

Blue Squadron: When within range 1 of another blue squadron title you may increase your agility by 1

Red Squadron: same but with attack dice

Xwing:

I always felt if any large ship should be nimble, it should be the Firespray (NOT JM5K). Maybe allow it to do 1 hard turn and sloops.

TIE Punisher: Allow it to fire two ordnance at the same time (different targets unless it is a huge ship). I mean, it has 2 silo pods.

B-wing: title gyro cockpit or something- granting after a red maneuver then may/must perform a free barrel roll in the opposite direction to remove the stress. Ie: hard 1 left turn then barrel roll right to remove the stress. (Straights do not count)

x-wing: 2 different titles that work similar. Requiring an astromech (or torpedo) with a reduced point cost.

Also astromechs- remove the word “action” from card texts; maybe replace it with ‘if you are not stressed or ionized’

Once?? Why not? =D

Its freaking hilarious. On a IMPERIAL firespray no less.
