I'm hoping that the just release a TIE Bomber pilot that acts as a shuttle that has different upgrade slots than the other pilots, similar to how the Hyena has several radically different loadouts based on the pilot. No need for a config then. Just have a low initiative pilot with a crew slot instead of any ordinance.

Yeah, I kinda forget this is a viable (and probably much better) option in 2.0.

Thematically, skilled bombardiers are not going to be shuttle drivers*, so different pilots make sense.

Game-wise, they can be balanced as separate components.

*Unless they fly for Uber after hours. . .

Not sure if anybody has noticed, but the Laat pilot that is fully visible seems to have charges in its stats, but if you look closely the pilot ability text seems like lore texts that generics would get. Is it part of the ship ability? if so, what do you think it does?

I'm actually hoping for a separate release (even though I have 6 bombers) because it really doesn't look the same:

Right most 5 of bottom spread: Contraband Cybernetics, ? , Deadman's Switch, Inertial Dampeners, and Rigged Cargo Chute. Looks like a new Illicit is coming out...

Better res on this spread: the ? looks to be "------ Shot".

Spreads are a little easier to see, looks like Plo Koon and Kit Fisto are the force crew upgrades. EDIT: And Aayla Secura. Where is Yoda?

LAAT looks like it can spend recurring charges to help friendly characters reroll attack dice while performing a non-? attack.

Separatist Gunship can't spend TL tokens, but gets rerolls equal to the number of friendly target-lock tokens on the defender.

Barrage Rockets for Republic? Double missile slot on LAAT/I since this is in that spread also.

They'd better address if these count as Missile Upgrades a.s.a.p. Can't reload them if they don't. Scyks and T-70's can carry them if they do.

Looks like 3rd card from the left in LAAT/I spread is Captain Rex and 5th card from the right could be Fives.

HMP Gunship seems to have a ship ability that says they can't spend locks to reroll dice but always reroll dice equal to number of friendly ships that have the defender locked?

LAAT says it can spend charge whenever friendly performs a non-turret-arc attack against enemy in LAAT's turret arc. If it does, attacker rerolls up to 2 dice. Not sure if charges are recurring.

Gunship says it cannot spend locks to reroll attack dice but when it attacks, it can reroll as many dice as there are friendly locks on the defender.

Aayla Secura: When an enemy ship in your [bullseye] performs an attack, if the defender is friendly and at range 0-2, the defender may change a blank result to a [focus] result.

1 force recurring, focus linked to a purple coordinate.

Seems fun, but I don't know how easy to point at bullseye this will be.

Not a new illicit I don't think as it's in the other spreads too

It is definitely a recurring charge.

HMP config reduces difficulty of straight maneuvers. Flip after you execute maneuver.

Based on the spread, no Yoda, unless they are getting clever and there are 2 facedown cards in a stack.

New cannon card on the HMP gunship- range 2-3 3 dice

I really wish they'd put a full-size picture of the generics in these articles. I get not wanting to spoil all the pilot abilities, but it'd be nice to not have to squint and get a half-idea of what the ship abilities actually are.

Walk me through this cause I'm teh dumb---two missile slots needed?

The rules don’t define a missile-missile upgrade as a specific type, and the Scyk & T-70 abilities only mention upgrade type, not slots.

T-70 and Scyk chassis ability: "Weapon Hardpoint: You can equip 1 , , or upgrade."

Reload rules first step: "Choose one of the ship’s equipped , , or upgrade cards that has fewer active than its charge limit."

Neither Weapon Hardpoint or Reload reference slots.
