So we have this one rule, that states when an upgrade card that has a limit on that card (like X-Wing only.),

''If the ship’s type includes the entirety of the restricted type, it can equip that upgrade. For example, a TIE/fo fighter can equip an Upgrade card restricted to “TIE Fighter only.” (Rules Reference, Page 20, left column).''

Now what noone except me and DragoonKainKatarn seems to get is that this rule does not make them the same ship type. It is merely a condition that has to apply so you can equip that card. If all of the words on that upgrade card are in your SHIP TYPE, then you may equip this card. This does not change the TIE/fo fighter into a TIE fighter ship type.

Some examples needed?

If they were the same ship type (namely TIE fighter), I could choose for each TIE or TIE/fo individually if I use the TIE or the TIE/fo dial because in the rules it also says...

''A ship must use the maneuver dial that matches the ship’s type. (Rules Reference, Page 17, right column)''

Since they're both of the ship type "TIE fighter" I could just use whichever I want, right? I'm pretty sure people would forbid me from using the FO dial on my howlrunner and other stuff.

Another example?

Let's take [http://xwing-miniatures.wikia.com/wiki/Twin_Ion_Engine_Mk._II Twin Ion Engine Mk. II]

It says TIE only. Going by the "same ship type logic" TIE Fighter, TIE/FO Fighter, TIE Advanced, TIE Defender, TIE Phantom, TIE Interceptor, TIE Punisher, TIE Bomber are all the same ship type, namely TIE. Because "the card can only be equipped if it meets the ship type on the card". So according to that, "TIE" is a ship type. And all of the above mentioned fighters have that type.

Since they have all the same type, I can field 1 of each TIE Fighter, Interceptor, Bomber, Advanced on the Gozanti, right?

I'm pretty sure people would keep me from doing that as well, but once we keep it only to the names TIE/fo Fighter and TIE fighter, everything is fine again.

THe amount of double standards here is too damn high.
