You dont - it is all decided in the App and it may change.

That's what I thought, but people in this thread talk like it's a given that it has space for Jabbas two crew slots.
We know the rebel falcon has 2 crew is why.
The Rebel Falcon also has more primary attack and more shields. There is no reason to assume this has the same slots.

It spends the film carting round a small, rag-tag bunch of characters, right, same as it ever did? Seems safe to assume it'll have a couple of crew and a gunner.
Thinking about it though it's a little odd that Beckett is crew and Han is gunner given they had the opposite roles in the movie...
18 hours ago, SabineKey said:Lol, the Rebel version is a Modified YT-13, while this one is a Customized YT-13.
That because Lando probably ordered the Falcon customized to his specs, while by the time of Episode IV Han had made a lot of special modifications himself. 
Lando specifically mentions that he had some work done on it, likely why its impounded. Han then comments to Luke that he has made a ton of his own personal modifications which we know made it into the ionic ship of our time. I wonder what Rey's one will be called, Salvaged YT-1300 Light Freighter? Piece of Junk YT-1300 Light Freighter?
Are we going to see a fourth Falcon, simply called a YT-1300 Light Freighter?
The falcon could be the Sabine and Ezra of v.2

So many falcons because hands down without a doubt the Millennium Falcon is the coolest ship in the SW universe. All other opinions are invalid.

Garbage YT-1300 Light Freighter. Obviously.

That's the word !
My mind failed me when typing and couldn't recall what Rey called it.

It’s not hard to avoid it, but it may be hard to avoid it and end where you wanted to be at the start of the second or third turn.
I think Becket’s affect will not show up much in casual play because it won’t matter. But my guess is someone will run it at high level and it will affect the outcome of games.

The Becket Effect is now a thing.
Bonus points for the first person to put a sweet-*** space cape on the back of their Lando Falcon. For a second I thought you could make a palindrome out of space cape but it doesn't work ?

The evolution goes Customized > Modified > Reyified > Porgified > Falcmander > Falcmeleon > Falcazar , I think.

Funny how I have the exact opposite reaction. I *really* like the contrast between the packaging and the ship on display. It really pops out.

From what was spoiled by Alex Davey at Euro's last week it seems that most ships that had a crew got a gunner slot in addition to their 1.0 crew slots. (Falcon has 2 crew and 1 gunner, K-wing has a crew and a gunner slot, etc)

Further to this point, I did a bit of hypothesizing yesterday in relation to the quote Frank Brooks said during the AMA. He mentioned that all turreted ships have double mobile arcs if they rely on that as their damage output i.e. K-Wings, Decimators, YTs all have a double mobile arc because they don't have a front arc. The JM5K doesn't have a front arc but it only has a single mobile arc. So unless it will get a front arc somehow (e.g. Moldy Crow title for HWK-290) and Dengar notwithstanding, the JM5K got crushed in 2e.

It gets a torp slot, and torp slots can give it up to IIRC 4 front arc shots thus far.
It's probably also cheap as chips.
But yeah, it got crushed. It's had its day in the sun. It's had TWO FREAKING YEARS in the sun, it's high time it got crushed.

Don't forget it's the only turret with a red rotate arc action
It should be less than 50 points.

I personally like the new look so much more.

It has at least one torp slot. We know that from the reveal of the conversion kits. I would imagine the jm5k is back to its old tricks of being a cheap-ish ordnance carrier, only balanced for 2.0.
In that context, I don’t think it’s really crushed. It’s just not going to be a Swiss Army knife that you can make do anything.
Just realized this wave hits the Thursday before my birthday!!! (wondering if my LFGS has a registry)
I'm hoping that if the Cape Craft isn't included in a squad, this Falcon will be very economical and free up points for fill all the upgrade slots.

For now, yeah? That's the whole thing about 2e is upgrades and costs are subject to change.
At any rate, I'm sure the K-Wing keeps its torp and missile slots, the Decimator probably keeps its torp slot, I'm sure the YTs keep their missile slots.
It just seems odd that the JM5K would get hit really hard with the mobile arc (again, barring future/unrevealed upgrades) in addition to getting hit in its dial and its ability to rotate its arc when ALL other turreted ships got a double arc.
It just seems inconsistent based on a direct quote from Frank Brooks.
Who knows though, of the 4 ships, it is the only one that inherently has the option of taking two actions in a turn.

Linked rotate action, so it's not nearly as bad as just having a red rotate
As for jm5k v this thing, it's really not that hard to distinguish the two. The jm5k gets its torps back, the yt1300 becomes the only scum ship with 2 crew (assuming that yv keeps 3)
The jm5k becomes an actual damage dealer, the yt carts jabba around
