The new preview article has revealed that all the U-Wings and X-Wings in Saw’s pack will have Illict slots. Is this a sign we might see the Illicit slot be treated like the Takent slot, where some pilots have it, but not others? Might some of the YTs have them, but not others? It would open up the ability to give some pilots a different feel within a ship hull type.

I think quite a few slots will be like this in 2.0. It saves having to print new titles for a ship when it is being used by a different faction.

N'dru Suhlak can have his special z-95 with crew, for example.

Honestly that's not new. Scum Zs have Illicits, Rebels ones don't - this is the first case where it's just in the same faction - but it could easily balance out. An I1 w/ Illicit Cavern Angel could be the same price (or only 1 point cheaper which would be .5 points in 1E terms) as an I2 X-Wing.

All YTs will probably have it though, since 1300s are all "Modified" and we've seen a rando 2400 basically do a Rigged Cargo Chute on screen. We're basically just going to cut out Snuggling Compartments at this stage.

I wouldn't be surprised to see slot options - I.e. a yt might be able to equip either an illicit or a mod, but not both. No evidence for that tho.

I think there's a good chance we'll see more slots change on a per-pilot basis.

For instance, on the Threat Cards, we see Jek Porkins outfitted with two modifications. I'm wondering if that will be specific to his ship, and other X-Wings only get 1.

From the screen shot of the app, it looks like Jek gets two, and Luke gets none.
