I've been wondering about illicit upgrades. Is advanced slam/rigged cargo chute/etc gone from rebel large bases?

I also want to know about ship titles of named ships like the Milennium Falcon, Misty Hunter, Outrider, Slave One, Moldy Crow and so on. Are they tied to a specific pilot now? How are they implemented?

And lastly (for now) will we see cross faction crew like Han & Chewey?

I know nothing official has been revealed about these questions, but what do you think will happen?

I was hoping someone would understand the thread title!

Maybe, maybe not. We don't know enough, but I'd say that both outcomes are plausible.

That may be reflected in Han having focus->red boost or something, different actions and different upgrade slots for different pilots have already been revealed as a feature.

I hope not... I don't feel like they fit well into scum. Besides, I think they're trying to limit cross-faction pilots, and by extension, possibly crew.

I wouldn't be surprised if ASLAM was the K-wing's ship ability

I hope the game will be simplified enough and we wouldn't need that much cards for it.

Well, the rebel kit comes with a cloak-token and right now, the only way rebels can take cloak, is by strapping a cloaking device to Sabin's Tie. So that might be a hint.

I suppose if Han, Lando, Chewie or another Unique from the films is the pilot for the YT-1300, the title could be "baked in" in the card text. It would cut down on card bloat, but then would I be able to run Han & Lando in the same list?

@Duskwalker I saw that. I wonder if we're going to get Illicit (it will likely be renamed) upgrade slots on those 3 ships (Stolen TIE, YT-1300 & YT 2400) as well as Illicit upgrades cards in the conversion box for Rebellion.

I’m expecting some of the smuggler type Rebels to get illicit ‘on the card’, making Smuggling Compartments unneeded. The mod was just another case of a mechic released after the ships that the could kinda retrofit.

Every time I start to wonder which ships will have which upgrade slots, I remember that it's all adjustable in the app (either officially by FFG, or for custom events by anyone)! How about a battle royale where every participant gets 6 Illicit Upgrades? Now you can!
