RITR obsolete

Quoting just in case it ever happens. My need to be pedantic is stronk.

Here's a suggestion to solve this in the interim. If you are running the RitR campaign, house rule the Experimental Retrofit reward locations on Raxus Prime and Endor to also include the Superweapon rewards. The Experimental Retrofit upgrades only apply to the Interdictor so they are rather exclusive. Since the Superweapon upgrades are also exclusive, it would seem to be a nice place to slot that in as an option. You may need to tweak the reward numbers granted for a win/loss. Here's how it stands right now.

Raxus Prime and Endor both offer:

Experimental Retrofit Reward 8/4

  • Grave Shift Reroute (2)
  • G7-X Grave Well Projector (2)
  • G-8 Experimental Projector (8)
  • Targeting Scrambler (5)

Consider adding this to the map as a special house rule at Raxus Prime and Endor:

Superweapon Reward (10/5)

  • Magnite Crystal Tractor Beam Array (10)
  • Orbital Bombardment Particle Cannons (5)
  • Superheavy Composite Beam Turbolasers (7)

I think giving the Superweapon point reward spread 10/5 makes it competitive enough to make you want to get a win there to get the higher priced rewards, but even if you lost, the OBPC is still an option if you are Imperials and using the Onager. Also, the fact that Endor is one of only two locations on the map to offer a Superweapon reward fits nicely with the flavor of the game (Death Star II reference of course).

HTTs?

Would be simple to agree in your group that experimental upgrade locations count as super weapon upgrades too, not as if many ships can use them. Though I expect Onagar is going to want its cannon from the start, and the Star Hawk doesn't absolutely need it.

I had a feeling something like that would happen. Ha! :)

RitR customer commanders. ;) I made a card for mine, printed it, and stuck it on my ship during recent RitR games.

Very well, I concede. I concede that you may remove your zero-cost commander upgrade and re-fill it using half the total points of other upgrades that you removed.

It still doesn't mean one could remove an upgrade that isn't actually in your fleet. :)

Was going to make the same type of suggestion. This seems like a solid solution (at least, to a guy who hasn't played the campaign yet!).

That Costs 0 Points, or is Worth 0 Points?

Its also incorrect. HTTs are *beautiful* when paired with a high impact critical effect vs a DCO carrying SSD...

"Sure, you can Brace and halve the damage and I get the Crit... Or you can brace and contain and Brace only does 1... Your Call."

I didn't mean to support the quoted statement. Just that the joke was already made.

I wasn’t making a joke, I was legitimately asking for which definition...

Oh! In that case, I meant costs 0 points.

It didn't take long.
