No Optimized Prototypes for the First Order, right?

By Opsmason, in X-Wing Rules Questions

I've seen a few lists pop up on the forums with Optimized Prototype on Omega, Leader, but I'm not sure that is appropriate. Krennic Reads:

During setup, before the "Placing Forces" step, assign the "Optimized Prototype" Condition to a friendly Galactic Empire ship with 3 or fewer shields.

Much like how Crossfire Formation can only be used the Resistance sub-faction ("at least one other friendly Resistance ship"), I read Krennic/Optimized Prototype as only being applicable to the Imperial (nee, Galactic Empire) sub-faction.

Now to say you couldn't put Krennic on an Upsilon ... put he'd still only be able to affect GE ships.

Am I reading this correctly?

I think you are correct. Sometimes we just read too quickly and get excited about what we wished we had seen ;)

Yes read that one too quick I missed that as well.

Correct. Optimised Prototype doesn't work on TIE/fo, TIE/sf, and any future First Order ships with few enough shields.

OP on OL would be OP, OK?

You can put krennic on any imperial ship.

He can only apply the condition token to a galactic empire ship (i.e. not TIE/sf, TIE/fo, TIE/vn or Upsilon).

If he is on an upsilon, he is still eligible to receive free target locks from the prototype attacking.

This is all irrelevant come 2.0 given the splitting of Empire and First Order into distinct factions.

Many people will simply keep playing 1.0
