If you read the new article for X-wing, there is a note that the v-wing can ignore TIE restriction on upgrade cards as it is the TIE precursor. This got me to wondering if some Republic ships in Armada might be able to ignore certain Imperial restrictions in a similar manner. Clearly crew would be out but are there other cards that might be usable? Also, please keep in mind I had very little sleep so this may be just ideas from a foggy brain. Anyway, anyone have any thoughts on the subject?

This is just off the top of my head but what cards are there that are restricted by faction other then crew? I guess there is titles but those are all restricted by ship and not just faction I dont see a venator being able to take the avenger title for example

Not many.

A weapons team for each faction.

A few weapons/offensive combos.

Titles.

I think it might actually go the other way around, there might (eventually) be a document released that adds keywords to Rebel and Imperial ships, which might allow them to take certain new keyword-restricted upgrades. I don't envision it happening at launch, but it could happen if/when they do a points balance pass on older ships.
