'' " This upgrade can only be equipped to a ship of the specified type. If the ship's typeincludes the entirety of the restricted type, it can equip that upgrade." ''

''The upgrade can only be equipped by the specified ship type. The specified ship type is TIE Fighter. The next paragraph says that TIE/fos can equip the upgrade, since their entire type includes the restricted type. Therefore, typewise, TIE Fighter = TIE/fo Fighter. This is not my opinion, but my observation and my analysis of the above text. If this is not RAI, then FFG should add the following to the rule: "This does not change the ships type to the restricted type". ''

You don't seem to get it, it says Ships, who have the full in their ship type, can equip this, that is exactly what this line says. Only because both TIE and TIE/FO can equip this, doesn't mean they're the same. The card has just a condition, and this condition is "your ship type has to have the following words in it for you to equip this."

Do we need a simpler analogy with another condition? Let's try this.

This upgrade can only be equipped to fruit of yellow color. If the fruit's color is of the specified type, it can equip that upgrade.

So equipping a "Yellow only." is possible on a Banana and a Lemon. That doesn't make the Banana and Lemon the same type of fruit, they both have the same condition that is listed on the card, but they are not the same.

So if the gozanti can only field all of one type of fruit, you would still say you can bring 2 bananas and 2 lemons?

TIE Fighter is basically the ship supertype, the individual ship subtypes are TIE and TIE/FO.
