Talk:Scurrg H-6 Bomber Expansion Pack/@comment-32506872-20170724121434/@comment-454133-20170724163911

I imagine the calculation was over construction cost. They have to fit every token efficiently onto 2 or 3 cardboard rectangles, and the Scurrg comes with a ton of stuff (including two maneuver dials instead of one, because it spans two factions). Adding yet another slat for more tokens might be prohibitively expensive; look into the wonderful world of board game component manufacturing and profit margins if you're interested in knowing more.

Lacking room, and suspecting people would buy other expansions to supplement the Scurrg's abilities and other bombs, and knowing you need a core set anyway, FFG probably concluded locks are the acceptable omisson.

After all, it's an expensive ship points-wise, and your core game comes with multiple locks. And you can always proxy a lock with some other token, even the circles you pop out of the dial. ^_^
