Time for the rebel 'Needa'

If folks are a bit worried about cards like the Nebulon-B and LMC80 that can struggle a bit due to lack of a redirect, why not address it with a support crew upgrade? Something like:

Shield Technicians
Support team
2 points
Repair command: you gain an additional 2 engineering points that may only be used to move shields.

Its the MC75 too.

"When defending, before dice are rolled, you may exhaust this card to regen shields on both side hull zones to a max of 1"

Neb b title

The issue with giving rebels a needa for redirects is that rebels actually want redirects. Imperials have very little need of an evade. It weakens them in black dice range where most ships spend their time.

A rebel needa would let them swop a token for a contain.

So, while I don’t necessarily disagree that the rebels could probably use an upgrade like this, I do think they they have one already that’s similar, at least in some effect. It won’t grant ships WITHOUT a redirect (like the Neb) a new one, but does prolong the useage of existing defense tokens a short while. The odd thing is I never see him used, which is what makes me question the real need for a “rebel needa”.

Provided you have ECMs, the MC75 is pretty darn durable. I had mine take fire from 2 Liberty Cruisers for 2 rounds and still came out of it. Granted I was limping home with 6 damage cards, but I did pretty well. And that was after the first round of fire I had no brace.

Once the imperials get a version of Yvaris
