Interceptor with 2 mod, A wing with 0

By player2422845, in X-Wing

So, Sense Luke seems like a good idea

Sense Luke @ 68

Psquaddie @ 30

Maybe Biggs @ 48

54 points of some kind of fully modified heavy hitter

Xwings can also Servo --> Boost to abuse sense if necessary, but obviously not as well as the A

What about Horton slam in a Ywing with selfless? He can rerol 1 attack die per friends at 0-1 of the attacker . Turret is good versus blocked ships. With sense luke and maybe 2 phoenix Awing it could be quite efficient

On the topic of duplicate upgrades: With charges existing in second edition, I have a feeling that ALL slots will not allow the same upgrade to be installed more than once. If FFG likes the flavor of using it in multiples, they'll add a charge mechanic to it.

On the topic of A-Wings not getting mods... eh, I don't think it will hurt them that much.

Given the change to the term "limited" instead of "unique," I strongly suspect FFG is forbiding ships from equipping duplicate upgrades, much as they do in Legion and Armada.

Yeah. There's no other need to have duplicate upgrades, either, as all projectiles have charge limits to cover the number of shots they get.

Punishers and Tie bombers might like taking repeat bombs or missiles. The efficacy could be questionable, but the possibility exists. :)

Charges + Reload covers that flavor.

Using a second slot extends the amount of time till the ship needs to take its weapons offline to recharge a shot. See 1.0 Kimogila using extra munitions. It has its utility but, as I said, its use might be questionable.

I am finding ways to put A-wings in squads... but B-wings are too close to a slower, more expensive X-wing for me to find a use yet. Putting them on tables will help.

I already have a couple proto squads with interceptors... even though they have 2 slots I dont see me using either unless new upgrades come along.

How useful it is doesn't really matter.

So for the moment, the general Idea concerning mod slot for Awing and interceptor is

Awing don't need

Interceptor (generally) won't use

Until more relevant mods are out.

V2 is indeed a new approach of list building.

Shame they aren't accounting for the A-wing's steerable guns from the lore. Would be interesting to see how it would affect the game if A-wings had a rear arc.

I have to say I like the change to 'limited' - regardless of multiples-per-ship questions, making unique instead limited and saying you can have no more than the number of dots immediately opens up a text-light option for "max of two per squad" or "max of three per squad" should FFG want to.

Eeeeeh. Not the same if it's only on the RZ-2.
