OK, so, I know that if a card has a dot next to it, it's unique and I cannot take more than one of it... However, I just got the YT-2400 model in the mail, and am having an odd argument in my head here....


Can I take the +Dash Rendar (YT-2400) [ship card] and +Dash Rendar [pilot upgrade card] in the same list?

Nope, same name.

OK, cool... I was kinda hoping that because it was a different type of card that you could have Dash Rendar piloting Dash Rendar's ship

No. You cannot take more than one card with the same name, even if the type of card is different.

There are quite a few of these around now.

Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca, Lando, Han, Dash Rendar, Leebo, Kyle Katarn, Jan Ors and Darth Vader all exist as both pilots and crew.

R2-D2 exists as both an astromech and crew.


Dash Rendar is piloting the YT-2400 with his name on it - that's why his name is on it.... It's to prevent wierd situations where a TIE Advanced piloted by Darth Vader is providing escort to a Lambda Shuttle whos crew includes Darth Vader, which is clearly something that shouldn't be possible.

Any card that has a black dot (like a bullet point) in front of the name is considered "unique" and can only be used once per squadron (page 18 of the core rule book).

My best friend's son was trying to do that in an in-house tournament we had the other day until I caught him half way through the tournament (I didn't play him, but I walked by his table after I was done with my game). He was also trying to load the Falcon up with multiple modification cards. Needless to say, he had an asterisk placed on his record!

Yes, I know it's on page 18, and have read it... But I was curious as to whether the type of card mattered.... Afterall, my first TT Wargame was Warhammer

FFG also has a FAQ with clarifications and corrections. They have it as a PDF so you can print it if you want (I just keep it bookmarked).
