Boba Fett -When attacking, you receive 1 extra attack die if the defender has a named Pilot Card or Upgrade card.

 

This is so common sense, and takes advantage of a mechanic that hasn't been delved into yet, the named characters. It would make Boba Fett a tournament level piece, and would make players reconsider squad building with the wave 2 ships. What I mean by that is, from what I've seen on the boards, it looks like squads are shifting to fewer ships but with higher pilot values. The TIE swarms are a thing of the past, and in their place are builds with fewer ships, but with characters in the 7+ skill range that are upgraded. i.e. named pilots. Do you then go with more generic pieces if you're planning on facing a Fett? It would throw another wrench into squad building for tournaments. Giving this ability to a Firespray would mean more of them would get fielded in tournaments, because they would be deadlier against Wedge, Vader, Tycho, Fel, Biggs, etc. I don't know, I guess this is why it's a wish list.

 

But if we're talking about cards that have been made, then definitely Stealth Device and Push the Limit

After thinking about it, maybe adding 1 attack die is too powerful, especially when you equip him with heavy laser Cannons. His name did strike fear into people, though, and he was a bounty hunter, so maybe:

"When attacking, you may choose to rerolll one attack die if the defender has a named Pilot Card or Upgrade Card."

That seems more fair, yet still being good enough to consider running.

just to add to this discussion I would like to point out that the millenium falcon already has a communication port for an R2 unit, as explained in the haynes guide to millenium falcon.

imagine how interesting a naboo royal starship could be with 4 astromechs. that could work up some good combinations.

may the force be with you
