Squad Building: Component limitations for tournament play?

By Khaunshar, in X-Wing Rules Questions

Hi,

Are there any official limitations on how often one can use a certain equipment card (say, R2-D2) in their tournament-legal 100pts squad? For ex., if I own multiple core sets, can I equip multiple fighters with R2-D2 as long as I bring the cards?

Same question regarding damage cards (do I always bring just one stack?) and pilot cards (can I use more than 2 Black Squadron Pilots?)

thanks a lot!

Look at the name (Luke Skywalker, R2-D2 as examples) on the card, if it has a dot next it, it is unique and you can use only one for your side (even on teams). Basically, any 'named' pilot or droid is unique. Generics, like 'R2 Astromech' can be used on multiple ships.

For tourneys, yes, one damage deck.

For 'squadron' pilots, you can use as many as you can afford in points (4 Academy Pilots and 4 Obsidian Squadron Pilots, for example).

Is this thread refusing to be marked as "read" for everyone, or just for me? (Sorry, just posting to try to get rid of the "new" tag…)

Yes, it stays "new" for me too. This is the second thread in a couple days that has had that problem for me.

Unfortunately this happens all the time on these forums. It will also delete all your text if you are quoting and hit the backspace button to delete one letter.

OMG, I thought I was the only one this was happening to! I wish I knew why it was happening, though…
