That's why the cost increases nonlinearly. It's much much better with 3 copies - but it costs 2 points per copy rather than 1.

Also, the number of dice is always capped at whatever the number of dice the ship could normally roll is - this is a reliability upgrade, not a dice numbers upgrade.

No Life Signs Onboard

modification, 1 pt

if this ship has no ‘living’ pilots or crew* it cannot be attacked until this ship makes an attack.

K4 security droid

Guri

Gonk

Updated text for Afterburner. Added new TIE Title.

Attack Pattern Delta:

EPT - 1 pt

When you attack a target that another friendly ship has in its front arc, you may perform a free boost action after the attack

•PROXY

crew

1pts

Your upgrade bar gains a crew slot. You may equip unique crew card that shares the same name as a unique pilot in your squad.

(PROXY is the name of the droid from Star Wars: the force unleashed games that could change his appearance to that if anyone else.)

Won’t work with snapshot unfortunately. It would work very well with /sf.

Womprat tokens. Not life size tho, 2 meters would take up the whole playmat in epic!

Easier to bullseye them that way, though.

So where is my T-16 Skyhopper with bullseye arc?

Give it TIE Fighter stats, Z-95 dial, focus, boost, evade. Crew upgrade.

if the TIE Striker can be in this game, then so can this suborbital airspeeder converted space fighter.

Wormie is the PS 8 pilot.

I think we just definitively ended this thread. This is the new upgrade (well, ship) the game needs, nay, demands.

Nice. My boys and I came up with this one. Your eyes can deceive you, do not trust them....

Nice but expensive for what it does... Situational (arc position/ship position) benefits should be costed at 1 in the "attack of the TLT's" era.... Just sayin'... Cool card anyway!

Retrothrusters

TIE Only. Modification.

0 points.

When defending, you may re-roll one of your defense dice.

- Just something to make generic TIE fighters and interceptors a little bit better.

Looking back, I totally agree. Tbh, I think we changed the ability after putting the cost in. Thanks for appreciating!

Paired torpedoes launcher (PTL-2... Eh?). Type: Torpedo. Range 1-2, Attack 2. Spend your target lock to perform this attack twice and discard this card. Each time this attack hits the defender suffers 1 face up damage card. Then cancel all dice results.

This is a great card; especially since Rebel ships without turrets are so underused (save Wookees which are basically turrets). Well done!

I'd love to see some ideas on some "combo" cards that use multiple slots that haven't been done yet. Something like a Crew/Systems upgrade or a Missile/Tech card.

It's also too cheap, it should start at 2 points.

What about this... Astromech Scan Protocols (Icons: Sys/Astro): You can aquire target locks, even while you are stressed, on range 2 and beyond. When you spend a TL, add a focus token to your ship. Cost:2

I love the Heavy Laser Cannon, but it's way undercooked, it should definitely not be less than 4, probably at least 5 too be honest.

For starters it would the best Cannon in the game, as much damage as mangled minus the critical, with the ability to ionised large ships.

Even restricted to ig aggressors, and gunboats it is strong and if it cost 2 it would be usable with the gunboat slam title.

virtually every card here has interesting ideas but are so laughably broken for one reason or another...

Or just impractical (target specific builds, thats always a bad idea)

Yeah, this is one of my favourite ideas for fixes that aren't just pure 'this ship only have a buff'. EWing fix could easily be a system/astro card, for instance.

I'm open to point increases. 2/4/8 may well be more balanced. 1 instance of it is somewhere around a 1 die reroll, which is priced at somewhere between two and 3 points.

"Single Reactor Ignition" 1pt 1 crew

you may roll an addtional 1000 red dice in Final Salvo
