In a perfect world, the rest of Optimized Prototype would read: "If your pilot skill is 5 or higher, add one <EPT> icon to your upgrade bar if you do not already have one."
It would allow some currently unusable pilots (Kir Kanos, Lorrir etc) to at least be usable and somewhat okay.
Edited by KommanderKeldothA conditional upgrade like that could be tolerable and nice for lesser used pilots for certain.
Won't happen, because it is not an upgrade and assigned after squadbuilding on deployment, so your Elite slot would be useless.
In a perfect world, the title of this thread would read:
”Optimized Prototype, if only it also added an ept slot to those without and PS above 5”
"Once per round, when defending, you may spend a result to regenerate a shield."
That's the OP Optimized Prototype I want.
Just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in.

But it could say:
"If the chosen ship has no EPT, once per round, after performing a action, it can perform a free action from its action bar, then receive a stress token."

Said it before and ill say it again...
In a scary world the rest of Optimized Prototype says "The ship with Krennic equipped gains the Coordinate Action. This ship may only coordinate ships with the optimized prototype condition."
Director Krennic directing stuff and taking credit for achievements like a boss.
*Also...PALPOONS!!!

I like that this supports the idea of placing Krennic on an empire vessel rather than a first order one as the Upislon already has the coordinate action and therefore you gain less value for the upgrade.

That's also pretty awesome

Dang, didn't think about that

Yes. Stick it to them Pulsed Ray Shields!
One can but hope. But regenning x7s are probably a bridge too far.
Maybe 'once per round if you have no shields...
I'd love an Imperial ship or upgrade or condition or such where you could take a Weapons Disabled token at the start of the combat phase to regain a shield. Not just spend a die (oh, I'll just spend this blank...) or even roll one fewer die, but give up an attack entirely. On a hit-and-run ace, it'd still be pretty sweet.

Sure, but it's also assigned before the "Raise Shields" step and references shields, so there's really no way to know.
how would you give it an EPT when it wouldnt even have the slot to get a card for until ships are placed?
The only way that'd be possible would be to also give it a "Equip an EPT costing 2 or less for free" clause, as it would both dodge the points issue and getting a slot after your chance to equip something to it.

"You may equip a [EPT] to this card during squad building, paying its cost. When this condition is assigned, the target ship gains the [EPT]."
