Man how awesome would it be if Denis Lawson got a major role in a new film
>>47744176
Is that a Quarian second-from-left?
>>47744258
No, that visor is actually his face. Chitin, yo.
>>47744229
Very... I'mma cry now.
>>47744229
Even though he's said he doesn't want to come back to Star Wars for a minor part I'd like it if:
They make Wedge an admiral, put him on a Republic ship in conversation with Cokefiend Fisher as much as possible to distract from her awkward acting and to carry the expositiony strategy parts of the film.
Then have him mention Rogue call signs, or make a radio call to Rogue leader.
Alternatively just have someone mention "Admiral Antilles' fleet" being on the other side of the galaxy during a war room scene.
I want the new characters (Rey, Finn, Poe, Phasma, Ben, etc.) to have as much chance at development and screen time as possible, so anything more than a nod to Wedge would be wasted screen time in my unimportant opinion.
We had a pretty good discussion about d6 Star Wars in general, and I'd like to continue that. I only played 1st edition, and I'd appreciate it if you guys could clue me in on how different 2nd ed and Revised & Expanded were. Also, did anybody use the Wild Die, because my group sure as fuck didn't.
>>47744905
Wild die is crucial. It gives the GM similar freedom to what people always tout as a benefit of the FFG games. I always thought its inclusion was one of the big strengths of the D6 system.
First x wing post with an off-the-wall build:
Horton Salm
-TLT
-R2-D6
-BTL-A4
-Outmaneuver
x2 Blue Squadron Pilot
"Zeb"
-Kanan Jarrus
I'm going to be joining a new casual group around here and I wanted to show up with this on the first day.
![5427[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/xCiZTAQ.jpg "5427[1].jpg")
>>47744905
Agreed; as much as I like X-Wing, some rpg discussion is welcome.
What are the best d6 modules in your opinion?
For me it's the Darkstryder campaign.
>multiple PCs
>nice supporting cast
>lots of freedom due to being set
>various adventures in tone and setting
WEG produced a ton of good original content for the EU. And never went edgy afaik despite the trends of the period. If anything they kept a nice amount of '70s-'80s goofiness.
>>47746367
DarkStryder was kinda the standout, IMO. A lot of their other best stuff was more sourcebooks rather than adventures
I got two buddies that are interested in the game and are coming to our local shop to check it out and play, what's some good starter lists I should make for them?
>>47747109
The first time they play I recommend running Some sort of x-wing vs TIE fighter thing- no unique pilot abilities, minimal upgrades. And it doesn't have to be a full 100 points either. Something shorter and simplier to help them understand the basic movement/action/shooting that the game is based around.
Imperials- 50-pts
Black Squadron Pilot
Academy Pilot x3
Rebels- 50pts
Rookie Pilots x2
Proton Torpedoes
The second time is where you add in unique pilots and more extensive upgrade cards, and also when you raise the points value up to a full game. I like letting new players use a list where each ship has some combination of a pilot ability and upgrade that make them useful but don't rely heavily on being flown in formation or working together.
Imperials- 100pts
Delta Squadron Pilot
-Ion Cannon
Dark Curse
Commander Kenkirk
-Stay on Target
-Moff Jerjerrod
-Rebel Captive
Rebels- 100pts
Poe Dameron
-Predator
Ten Numb
-Mangler Cannon
Horton Salm
- Twin Laser Turret
They aren't super competitive lists, but each ship does something a little different, and gives players a chance to try out some different ships
>>47745443
Maybe swap r2d6 with just r2 astro but looks fine to me
>>47746367
Darkstryder's awesome but it is pretty railroady at times.
>>47744176
Somebody say something about B-teams?
Triggeeing morality.
Im without my book right now, and was wondering if anyone can clarify the effects of triggering morality. If triggered does it act like Duty and Obligation in that it lowers the strain threshold by 2 for the triggered and 1 for everyone else?
>>47748336
No. When Morality is triggered, you make a moral choice directed towards the triggered player, aimed at their emotional strength, weakness, or both. If their choice reflects their strength or weakness, then when at the end of the session, when you see if they increase or decrease their Morality, you double the score. Per RAW, there's no other mechanical option like strain decrease for Obligation or wound increase for Duty if you decide not to alter the story with what was triggered.
>>47748463
>>47748336
Instead, being high or low morality scores affects your Strain threshold.
Okay, so I'm going to name up again and just say that I'm probably going to drop Star Wars from my pull list because the secret Alliance warcri- I mean prison was bad, and so was For YOUUUUUU, but the ending of issue 19 was just.
Man, are we really fucking doing this? Are we REALLY doing this?
>>47749167
>Man, are we really fucking doing this? Are we REALLY doing this?
>>47749167
oh boy, what did they do THIS time?
>>47749190
I DIDN'T KNOW! I'm sorry, I didn't know! The comic was going alright-ish up until suddenly Vader Down was a thing and then it was all pic related all the way to the bank!
>>47749167
spoil please?
>>47749223
>>47749230
Allow me to present the scanned evidence of the crimes before you without the ad in the middle.
>>47749304
Okay I saw the various Stormtrooper's designs before, thought they were lame but whatever.
The lightsaber though, that's crossing a line.
>>47749304
the fuck?
the fuck is this?
the fuck is that?
the fuck are they?
>>47749335
>>47749336
So yeah, probably going to drop Star Wars because fuck this noise.
>>47749355
but seriously, what in the ever-loving fuck is going on?
>>47749304
Didn't mind rebel jail but this hurts.
>>47749335
And the lightsaber is DEFINITELY what crossed my line. And not only that this dweeb HAS a lightsaber, but that he has the Skywalker lightsaber, but with a green blade. I just..... I can't.
>>47749400
Um.... okay, so.... turns out the Alliance had a supah secrit supermax prison space station in close orbit to a star where they put captured Imperial officers and like.... creepy pyscho people. Without trial. For years on end..... you know, by the good guys!Also, I think they had it set up so it would fall into the sun if the inmates ever tried to escape?
So Leia goes there to put what's her face evil archaeologist in when 4UUUUU shows up and starts killing the inmates because "THIS IS WHAT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN DOING LEIA LEIA LEIA I'M OBSESSED WITH YOU BECAUSE YOU WERE ON MY BRIEFING FOR GOING TO KILL PALPATINE IN THE STAR WARS ANNUAL AND ALSO MY FACE IS ALL PIMPLY NOW DESPITE NOT BEING THAT WAY IN THE ANNUAL"
Oh sorry, did I spoil that surprise? Anyway, Leia, Not Mrs. Solo, and the psycho archaeologist team up to kick him and his droid's shit in, Luke and Han show up and get immediately captured, Leia wrestles 4U in zero-G, order is restored, and the supermax is evacuated and left to drop into the sun.
Then these fucks show up. Outta nowhere.
>>47749304
I have no idea what's going on
>>47749335
>>47749463
Just give him a fucking vibroblade. Make it cortosis if you want him to duel Luke. Christ!
>>47744865
>Even though he's said he doesn't want to come back to Star Wars for a minor part
I keep hearing this and I have to be honest that I think it's pretty shitty of him if it's true. For starters, it's not like he had a huge role in the OT (and it hardly stopped us from loving him, did it?) and as you said the new movies should primarily be devoted to the new characters and their stories. Hell, even the stars of the OT haven't had particularly large roles as of yet (with the exception of Ford and he ended up eating it).
If the guy who played Ackbar was willing to - in his 90s - pretend to be a fishman for a mere couple of minutes of screentime and about as many lines then Lawson can suck it up and play third fiddle in a small but respectful cameo.
>>47749558
>I keep hearing this and I have to be honest that I think it's pretty shitty of him if it's true
to be fair, he's got a ongoing TV show and some other stuff going, so he'd probably have to do a lot of rescheduling and pass up or possibly loose money, and it simply isn't worth it to him to do it for a 30 second bit
>>47749578
I suppose that's fair if he really has a decent line-up of work.
What's the show he's doing?
>>47749463
>4UUUUU
Who the fuck?
These comics are getting worse all the time
>>47749536
>>47746367
Strike Force Shantipole's fun; each act lets different kinds of characters shine, The PCs get to hang out with Ackbar, and it caps with some good starfighter combat. I actually ran it for FFG without really having to modify it.
>>47749304
Did the draft for this comic get passed on to the same guy who green-lit Aftermath? Jesus Pennin, that's retarded.
>>47749882
That was also stupid.
>>47750229
George told them no Vibroblades
>>47749463
I thought scrubbing the Eu was to fix the bullshit, not make it worse.
Goddammit we lost Rogue Squadron and Thrawn for this?
WHY
>>47750635
We lost Jedi Prince for this. And Crystal Star. And all the bad of the EU as well.
>>47750635
>you were supposed to bring balance to the force
come on man, you knew the new EU was going to be the same shitsheev clones when
>>47750635
Well, you know what they say about the third time.
The 2040s are going to kick ass for those of us /swg/ anons who haven't succumbed to diabetes or committed suicide.
>>47747109
don't listen to this guy >>47747527 those list are vomit inducing, that's like shitting on a new player by giving the rebel 3 different dial and pilot abilities, and with god awful upgrade at that.
the only thing you should do is make them play a single kind of ship that they think looks cool. When they have 3 games under the belt (so like 2 hours later) they be able to pick their own upgrade and ship because they'll understand the rules, dials etc
>>47751525
not those guys but I usually just ask them what faction they want to play and if any of my ships catch their eye. Then Ill slap together a couple of evenly matched lists and have at it
>>47751525
>>47751857
that the way to do it. Cool looking ship for the beginner first.
>>47749167
>>47749304
>>47749463
Prisoner of war camps aren't a war crime. Since Unless the Republic has *exactly* westfalen definitions of just war, putting Imperials in a prison and not just executing them is appropriate. Wartime rules and all that, but I haven't read the comic. Questionable drop-in-sun security measure not-withstanding.
Unique Imperial hero who uses a lightsaber doesn't seem too crazy, considering the silly shinanegans established in both old-EU and Clone Wars stuff (darksaber, savage opress, darth maul surviving). Although the fact that they've also had the ISB agent arena-master with a lightsaber, Grakkus having a horde of lightsabers, and the cyber-sith with lightsabers removes any impact that could have been had from "oh... this SpecOps Imperial AoR Hero has a lightsaber."
So on a scale of 1 - "Assaj Ventress isn't a Rakkataki anymore" of annoyed to a 10 of "George Lucas Reboots the Original Trilogy with Jar Jar as the main hero" of outrage, this hits about a 4.
>>47752453
Also, this lightsaber is much worse.

He's also in New Tricks as well.

Rate my obviously-ripped fantasy Jedi, /swg/.
>>47753266
Nah, Dr Who has had the occaisional good season, as has QI.
>>47753364
It should be stated, these monks are based purely on my interpretation of Jedi through the lens of the original trilogy and Jolee Bindo. So it's just as much my personal thoughts on what Jedi should be as it is a fantasy interpretation.
>>47753463
>>47753364
Pretty cool. The whole Jedi theme work surprisingly well in a fantasy setting, mostly since the Jedi ideals are a mishmash of buddism, taoism and shintoism (if i remember correctly) with additional Kurosawa tropes added to the mix
What are /swg/'s opinions on ghost ships?
I'm thinking of fleshing one out for the Galov sector campaign I've been working on.
>>47753537
The group I played with ran one as a sort of "Halloween special," just before I joined them. They told me they had a ton of fun.
>>47753364
Reposting it, because after seeing what I put up for you guys my grammar and syntax mistakes were REALLY bothering me. Here's the fresher version.
>>47753530
Thanks for the commentary. I agree that it's pretty easy to fit them in, especially when I stick to the "purer," combination of the original trilogy ascetic Taoist monk and the Jolee school of dashing and compassionate adventurers.
It's always what I felt the Jedi SHOULD be, and the idea of the bureaucratic and stagnant Order always bothered me--even if it did fit the theme of the Republic falling through decadence and incompetence. Adds a bit of a meta perspective in the sense that I don't think Lucas intended that; the incompetence of the writer is reflected in the thematic incompetence of the Order.

It was a shitty corssover if I ever saw one. Not a single good interaction between the characters since you have to respect the movies, and more people crossing path than a scoobt-doo chase.

How so? The only truly railroady element I remember is Captain Ciro getting captured, but it's necessary from a narrative standpoint so the PCs can be put in command of the ship.

You need survivability. The Advanced Cloaking Device allows you to fire up your cloak after you shoot, but that's only if you have a shot. And it does nothing to help against higher PS ships.
This is why Echo and Whisper so often have Veteran Instincts.
If you're running generics, go with the Stygian Particle Accelerator. Anything lower PS, will have to contend with 4 base attack dice and horrifying reposition options. Anything higher PS, and you at least have action economy with an evade token when you cloak/decloak. Evade, Focus, and 2 Agilty might not seem like a lot... But it does when you pay 4 points for a Sensor Jammer on top of it. 3 phantoms at PS 5 with Stygian PA and Sensor Jammers run a cool 99pts (33 per ship). You can use that last point for initiative bid, or just take an Intel Agent or something. You're just using them as glass sledgehammers that are really good at repositioning and focus firing the fuck out of something. I've fielded two like this with a Defender, and the combination was quite devastating.

3x Stygium, Sensor Jammer, 1 w/ Intel Agent. Token stack when decloaking, blunt incoming atlas attacks, use Intel to help with blocking/decloaking.

Whats a good spec for a Soldier style character? I was thinking Soldier, but Commando is way to Melee, Medic isn't what I'm going for and Sharpshooter is too snipery, I'm playing in a Legacy Era game as an Empire in Exile Stormtrooper. Should I do Merc Soldier instead?
>>47757633

>>47749882
I kinda liked it because, stupid blade aside, MandoMan really sucked at using it, as a non-Force user should.
He would have done better to tackle Obi-wan and just punch his face in like Durge did.
I miss Durge so much ;_;
>>47758699
I actually like the way he fought with it. He clearly knows what he's doing and can hold his own, but he's just not physically capable of doing the more advanced stuff so he sticks with the basics and supplements it with technology.
Exactly how I'd imagine a Mando fighting against a Jedi.
>>47758492
First, give them Guidance Chips or Long Range Scanners. Then, don't load them up too much... Reserve a torp slot for Extra Munitions. Take Proton Torps (4pts) if you want an automatic blank/eye to hit (G chip) and eye to crit. Plasma (3pts) if you need a cheap option that burns away things with lots of shields (see ref. Miranda). And Ion if you are willing to pay extra for a control-bomb. Adv. Proton Torps only if you are playing with Rhymer, but he's grossly overcosted.
Missiles are an alternative, with Concussion guaranteeing a respectable 2 blanks into hits. Homing Missile shuts down Evade tokens, and Adv. Homing Missile can possibly 1-shot anything with 2 hull if it hits. Cluster Missiles aren't bad... But are best if you've got ways to modify both volleys. Assault Missiles are "meh" unless up against a Tie Swarm, and Ion Pulse Missiles pretty much exist just to throw two Ion tokens into a big ship.
Bombs are up to you on how you want use them, but you've got the ones that explode that turn, and the ones that sit around and wait for someone to hit then. Cluster Bombs are dumb, as they don't cause crits. Conner Nets are brutal if set up right.
Generally speaking, a scimitar with a torp/missile and extra munitions works well on his own. Gamma Vets in the Veterans pack will give you a generic Deadeye option. And the one named to stay away from, is Rhymer. Unless you really want to pay a bunch of extra points just to play around with range bands.
>>47758492
Lowbies are great with mines, bombs that take actions to drop. Fly over a shio before it moves and bomb them.
Gammas are pretty solid with just proton torps, extra munitions, and chips. 24 points. Against lower generics you should be ok, but it will take fancy flying to catch high PS aces.
Bombers win and lose in the planning phase. Learn your movements, learn your ranges.
>>47758496
Just your basic everyman kinda trooper, or idk Republic Commando style maybe? Either one.
>>47758492
I'm 11-2 with this. lost against jump master 2 times because of incredible mistakes I made. it was a bad day.

>>47759196
With the release of the Soldier sourcebook, we know Heavy (from Dangerous Covenant) is going to be a Soldier Spec so you could make a heavy weapons guy right now. Otherwise, Mercenary Soldier, from EotE core, might be what you're looking for.

>>47759808
Maybe swap out a cluster for a concussion too
>>47759837
That would be my vote. Cluster's alright... But it really only shines against low agility ships, like Y-Wings, Milleniu Falcons, or YV-666s. It also can do a lot of damage against huge ships. But I find more than anythinf, it's best on ad-hoc missile carriers. Like Z-95s (especially N'Dru, Tie Advanced Prototypes, and anything that gets bonuses to multiple attacks. Thanks to Guidance Chips, Concussion Missiles have become my go-to missile for reliable damage against a wide variety of targets.
>>47760095
but jonus makes you reroll for both attack of the cluster...
>>47759724
Cool, thanks. Kinda a bummer that soldier doesn't have just a basic soldier spec yet. Fingers crossed for Soldier book. Do we have an idea when that's out?
>>47760754
>basic
>specialization
>>47760536
Jonus also affects all secondary weapon attacks made by friendlies within R1. It doesn't help himself at all, and you still are looking at 3 dice, rerolled, with possibly a focus for one of the rolls. Clusters are alright. But they are pretty lacking against 3 agility ships with tokens. They do alright against 2 agility ships, but they really are best when the opponent can only reliably stop a 1 or 2 of the 6 total dice headed his way.
My order of missile use goes something like this:
-Clusters for big ships with 1-agility, Y-Wings, B-Wings, Punishers, Mist Hunters, K-Wings, and anything else designed to "just take it".
-Concussion is for practically anything, if you're using missiles. It works, it's reliable, and it's throwing enough dice to make 3-agility ships sweat.
-Homing Missile is for when you've had enough with Evade token bullshit, and want to throw some ordnance up Soontir Fel's tailpipe (or Tycho, or a Millenium Falcon with 3 Evade Tokens).
-Advanced Homing Missile is for when you've got 3pts to spare, don't have the 3 agility for Prockets, and/or need some way to reliably deliver a crit.
-Assault Missiles are meh-tier. Only really of value against bugzapper swarms, tie swarms, crackblack swarms, or A-Wing swarms.

I most want to play a FaD Consular Healer. I've had one rolled up and ready to go for months, but the games I can manage to find online either don't fit it thematically or need another niche filled.

ForeverGM here. If I could one day be a player, I really want to play a Guardian. Any species, any spec, I just really want to play and Guardians are totally my archetype.
Maybe a human Peacekeeper named Arrin Sunn (because subtlety is cool, yo) who left the Imperial military after discovering they were the bad guys. Later realized he had Force abilities, looked for a master/holocron/artifacts and trained a bit to cross spec into Soresu Defender.
Something like that. Kel dor and Iktochi are also really cool.

I like this. I like this a whole lot.
I, too, was a foreverGM - that is, till I swore it off entirely and relegated myself to online games. No one besides me in my area wants to bother buying, learning, and running any systems, so I always have to introduce them, and, of course, no one wants to buy in and spread the love to other groups, or return the favor to me.
>>47761299
Pretty bad, fampai.
Your YV has way too many upgrades and secondary weapons. Gunner and Bossk by themselves are a great tag team, adding a bunch of other stuff just makes your expensive ship more expensive without much increase in effectiveness. Maybe throw Zuckuss in there to fuck with people.
Blaster Turret is bad. It takes an action to fire and has no modification outside of taking more actions. Dorsal Turret is a good budget option, TLT if you want long range and reliable damage.
Marksmanship is not great on a ship that can easily acquire focus.
You've got a lot of points in upgrades that are either just bad or simply inefficient. You could run the YV with Palob and swap Kaato for N'dru (Vet Instincts, Homing Missile, Glitterstim, Chips) to deal with high pilot skill and nimble ships that can dodge your arcs.
Saving those points could get you more ships or a named pilot like Bossk.
How silly would it be to have a species of aliens from a volcanic planet that's known for their surprisingly well made uglies and habbit of venting engines into the cabins because it reminds them of home?

I too seem to be a forever GM for the system I love so much, alas with my changing work schedule I wont even be able to run with my normal group. If I was skilled enough I would attempt to either Hangout, Skype, or Roll20 it. But in my heart of hearts I know I really want to play, so many character ideas that I dont even get to use as NPCs.
Why are extra munitions only available on torpedoes and not bombs/missles
>>47763094
He's fine with Blaster. Although he should swap out Calculation for Opportunist on Palob. The reason is because he's got the Moldy Crow and Recce Spec. So he'll have a bank of Focus tokens to work off of. Plus Palob can easily obtain more.
Really though, the Palob Blaster Recon Opportunist combo doesn't need the Crow title, so he could shave that off.
Definitely agree with you on the YV. Removing the HLC will help. I find that the HLC is really only good on Morello. Otherwise Tracto Cannon or cannonless is the way to go (or Mangler on Bossk).
>>47763506
They're available for all those. The upgrade just eats a torp slot.
Kinda frustrating on some ships, yeah... But your designated ordnance ships tend to have at least one (sometimes 2) torpedo slots. The torp-slot limitation on Extra Munitions hurts most on the Firespray, because it locks you into having to take Slave-1 for extra bombs/missiles.
>>47763609
>locks you into having to take Slave-1 for extra bombs
Andrasta, bro. 0 point Title that gives you two additional bomb slots, for a total of 3 bombs.

Well, i considered making it a partial health thing, breathing unpoluted air is unconfortable and unhealthy for their bodies in the long run. I have no scientific explanation, but some equivalent of not getting your vitamins. They often also take to chewing various materials, rebreathers or smoking when away from home, but it never quite makes up for it and their skin loses the healthy red color and they turn grey, meaning ashen has become a common slur for off worlders.

>>47765096
wait... does that only come with unique pilots? Because all the names have dots and they all seem to have pilot abilities. Kind of taking the wind from my sails here, I was weirdly excited to run a pair of generics as they seem like decently tanky ships with the overhaul. Especially would love to fly them with Y Wings as a "Revenge of the clones" style list.
I dont think we've seen this since the aggressor, which is kind of odd, is this some sort of weird background nod?
Also, that torpedo looks odd. It looks like it says "sensor torpedoes" or something, not to mention it has a really wordy ability, so Im guessing its something tricky.
I dont get it, out of the past two waves, why the hell is THIS the ship I'm excited about?
>>47765223
you can still totally run 2 and 2, and with the right build that might be really good. I kind of like the idea that these are old and rickety enough that they don't bother handing them out to random pilots, and only give them to aces and specialists who have an awareness of the objective.
What I'm really curious about is the tail gunner, Maybe a stealth buff to the Firespray?
>>47765223
I think it's all unique because the refurbished ARC-170s are probably in a more limited supply than the Y-Wings.
>>47765282
I'd expect he gives you the option to fire from both arcs on the same turn, perhaps one at PS and the other at ps 0? That or it causes stress or something.
Only other thing I could think it would be might be giving rerolls out of aux arc.
And I dont know if two Arcs and two Y's will fit if the arcs are all uniques. Y's can get pricey quick, even just warthogs with ions or dorsals aren't cheap. Considering the upgrades, I wouldnt be surprised to see them get nuts quick too. Then again they could turn out to be a poor man's B-Wing and just be designed to plow into the target guns blazing. Here's hoping the ps 3 and 4 play well with others. With a primary arc at 3 and the rear flipping a focus for free to a crit, theyll be nasty if flown right I think. Theyll have to be considering their only other trick is crew+astromech, which will endless shenanigans in its own right

Just look at the 2 deathstars in the OT. The first one was rather large and had a week point 2m wide. The second one was even larger and had a weak point you could fly the falcon into.

OT tie fighters were designed to emphasize the minimal value of individual lives- only dangerous in numbers, reliant on mothership for everything.
tFA "first order" philosophy is "do everything like the empire, but not so retarded. Thus the TIE lookalikes with shields and turret.
>>47766124
And then they built Starkiller Base, which is only slightly less retarded than the Sun Crusher
>>47766124

And yet they still haven't fixed the cockpit design, nor have they gone with variants of the vastly superior (and still cost-effective) Interceptor, which was already a common sight by Endor.

I have a very simple question. I get schooled by Empire all the time whenever I use A wings. Which ship am I supposed to be "maining?" The 2 dice attack rolls for A-wing seem pretty shitty but I love their mobility. Am I just supposed to be using T-70s?
>>47766519
Depends on whether or not based Chris Roberts can deliver on Star Citizen. Other than that, our best hopes probably lie with flight sim fans who can get into the vidya industry. Some of us still remember the good old days.
>>47766599
>whether or not based Chris Roberts can deliver on Star Citizen
So probably no
>>47766688
Probably no.That's why I'm doing the latter. Got some amateur vidya projects under my belt already. Once I'm out of uni, it's off to the indie scene to cut my teeth. It'll probably end in abject failure, but might as well shoot for that dream.I can only hope Mark Hamill, Denis Lawson, and the /swg/ dream cast stay alive in the meantime.
I think I'm going to go 3 E-wings, are they viable?
>>47766187
It's the death star, but they put the weak point inside an armored bunker that took demolition charges to crack open and an x-wing shooting up the inside while it was fully charged to destroy.
>>47766227
I'm guessing an admiral said something along the lines of "Make it look like a TIE fighter, but make it GOOD in combat." Within those limitations they did alright.
People often fail to understand how ass-backwards a design process can be.
>"What if we added a turret?!"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXQ2lO3ieBA
(yes I know, not 100% accurate film, but it gives a layman a good idea about how these things work.)
>>47766777
Nope!
E-wings are currently only viable in two circumstances: Corran Horn with a load of upgrades, or Ethan in an epic game where you're using a bunch of scrubs. The generic e-wings cost too many points to be effective in the game as it currently stands. They are due for a fix sometime soon- likely "Rebel Veterans" if FFG gets around to making that in the next year or so. Or some other ship will come with a systems upgrade that suddenly makes them worthwhile (like autothrusters did for Interceptors, except moreso)
>>47766841
Well fuck, I guess I'll just go 3 T-70s
>>47766124
FO stormie armour is a plain downgrade, no poison filters, while the old ones could be vacsealed and with an hour worth of air, before you added aux tanks.
>>47765223
>Also, that torpedo looks odd. It looks like it says "sensor torpedoes" or something, not to mention it has a really wordy ability, so Im guessing its something tricky.
Check out the typography on that card and the typography on 'Seismic Charges' - they line up so well that I'm inclined to think they're 'Seismic Torpedoes.' Note also that they're an ACTION, so you fire them during the Activation Phase. I reckon they'll be an attack you make in place of an action which weakens the target, allowing you to turn 1 hit into 1 crit against them during the Combat Phase, or something.
>>47766777
Honestly anything is viable if you're a good player. Here's something I tossed toghter - you could swap CS for VI if you weren't comfortable with moving all your guys at PS3. They definitely need a fix, but nothing in the game is totally unusable.
Finally got off my lazy ass long enough to update XWSOL. The Mandalorians turned out to be far less Australian and a bit more Dacian/Anglo-Saxon/other pre-modern European tribal than anticipated. Also, an attempt was made to distance the era's stormtroopers from their OT counterparts. I wasn't happy with the idea that stormies stayed largely the same after over a century.
I'm also extremely fucking rusty and complete ass at proofreading at the best of times. Please do point out typos, mistakes, cultural inaccuracies, etc.
>>47768195
>Finally got off my lazy ass long enough to update XWSOL
IT BEGINS
as one of the five surviving readers, thank you, man
as for the rest, I guess I've kinda gotta ask, is XW:HD ever chancing an update?
if you don't reasonably expect so, would you be willing to at least share vague greentext point-form ideas as to where you were planning to go with it?
as for XW:TG, I'm assuming that you're kind of waiting for Amazon Gear to come out, yeah?
>>47768263
I fully intend to update both HD and TG. I've just been incredibly busy and lazy. Plus, with nucanon, I've been trying to rewrite my notes to figure out how to incorporate elements that I liked.
Coming soon (maybe):
>Conclusion to the Pinook race, taking suggestions for the next event
>Poe joins Team Antilles
>Anakin and Obi-Wan reprise their fight commentator roles
>Rosh Hour
>>47767191
They also have no visual enhancement gear whatsoever, wheras old Stormies had full holo-display and HUD to let them see through smoke and darkness.
Of note, however, is the fact the Captain Phasma has all the head-mounted targeting systems you could want, along with actual crushgaunts. And, from the lack of the intake port, probably has pressure seal too.
Makes me wonder if there's some kind of 'elite' stormtrooper armour that serves as a middle ground between the two. I wouldn't be surprised. It gives Disney a new action figure to sell when the new movie comes out ;^)
I really hope someone can help me with this, it came up in our game last night of Imperial Assault.
When spending Surge, most PCs are able to increase their damage, or give themselves a level of pierce. But these seem to be exactly the same thing? Very rarely certain elite NPCs can spend surge to gain Pierce 2, but even then they can still mostly get 2 damage. So what does Pierce do, it seems to be negated by the exact same functionality?
>>47768322
Be kind of neat too if Disney did end up giving their rank and file storm troopers much cheaper gear compared to the OT storm troopers. Because the FO treat their officers like Phasma.as indispensable assets that get access to top of the line protection and expensive weaponry, and their brain washed kidnapped foot soldiers are that much more expendable due to their lower cost and new diabolical recruitment methods.
>>47768311
>Poe joins Team Antilles

>>47768359
2 things. Pierce is generally slightly higher than the damage boosts (not always, but usually), and you can only use a surge option once each per attack which comes into play if you happen to roll 2 or more Surges.

There's certainly the something to be said for the subtle undercurrent of cattyness the association brings.
Based on what I have, I'm gonna field Whisper with Veteran Instincts, Fire Control System and Advanced Cloaking Device. Should I use Gunner, Tactician or Recon Specialist for the last slot?
>>47769592
I like tactician personally. It gives some control to what the opponent can do because theyre stressed but VI is good to get the first shot off and then recoak before your opponent can get a shot off.
>>47769592
I'd say tactician, but that's just me loving tactician. I'd never had much luck with Gunner and Recon Spec is wasted if you have ACD if you ask me.

>Dual and Single Shot for others?
Acceptable if you are flying something with two or fewer cannons.
>>47769797
Isn't the second one on the left actually happening in the Rogue movie?
>>47769836
I dunno, Double Shot on the X-Wing works pretty well for quicker TIE's like the Fighters and Interceptors, whilst Quads I reserve for slower bigger targets like the Bombers and Shuttles and so forth.
Double Shot gives me better rate of fire so I can be more sure of catching them with something.
A-Wings I just doubleshot the whole time with zero fucks.
>>47769592
Tactician for control, Recon for defense, Gunner for offense. I like my phantom to murder all the things, so Gunner for me.

>>47769863
I took Tactician and propped Gunner on Boba instead.
>>47769859
I go all quads all the time because I can't be bothered to stick to a target for more than a few seconds in a furball. Every time I do, I get vaped. Quad-shots usually guarantee that when I get that laser lock beep, it's a quick TIE kill.
And with mouse controls (I lack the storage space and permanency of residence necessary to keep a joystick), targeting and turning are easier than ever. Arm strength is the limit, baby.
>>47769836

As a student who currently has very little storage space and no long-term permanent housing, I can't exactly cart a stick around everywhere I move.

>>47773283
The figures are durable enough that you can get by with Plano or other fishing tackle boxes to carry stuff around, and that's usually a cheaper alternative. For foam stuff, I've really only read about people using various gun cases, and the handgun sized cases are fairly cheap and big enough to carry basically a list worth of miniatures.
>>47773333
>>47773440
Well I appreciate the response, but money is honestly not a big issue. I'm leaning towards Feldherr just because they are on Amazon with Prime was just curious if anyone had any previous experience with them.
>>47773335
>Imma fortress, lel
Yeah... fortressing has been around since the shuttle came out. The only people it makes mad, are kids, and adults with pre-existing anger management issues. Otherwise people just won't bother to play against you, because fortresses aren't much fun to go against. In competitive environments, you might catch a few players off guard with it. But most lists can front load a bunch of damage on one ship and score half VPs. And they aren't too worried about 3 ships with just 3 attack and no ability to dodge attacks.
>>47773283
As they've mentioned, the minis are actually fairly tough, even the ones with dainty bits on them. With mindful packing, even the most delicate of ships will be perfectly fine in a tackle-case.
But if your heart is set on a foam case, I can vouch for Feldherr. My case is for 28mm miniatures, but the foam is soft without being weak, and the case itself is well made. I would imagine similar quality for their X-wing cases.
>>47768043
I'm the original anon you responded to, thanks for making me this list, I will try it out.

The approach is simple; Soontir and Turr do what they do best. Epsilon Leader tries to keep up to help keep Soontir and Turr unstressed as best as possible.
The Academy Pilot.....well, I had the points.
>>47766526
As have a couple ways to get their hits through.
-Proton Rockets or missiles in general
-Juke
-Crack Shot
-blocking with a prototype to deny actions while you jump in with focus/TL shots
>>47774471
You can get pretty much the same effect from the ties by putting Palpatine in Yorr. Personally, I don't like push on Turr since I like shooting first at PS9.
>>47774471
I would make Turr into Carnor jax and epsilon leader into omega leader with the standard suite of com releay plus juke.

Whisper's good. There's a reason she's one of the "Imperial Aces" you see popping up in lists. Echo's another favorite of mine, although that banking decloak is tricky to use.
>>47776200
Echo uses the 2 Bank for the Barrel Roll as well, right?
>>47776316
yeah. I prefer it over whisper because I love being super mobile
>>47776356
I'm trying Echo next time. I also like being super mobile. Which is why I love pilots like Soontir and Turr. Especially Turr - that post-attack barrel roll / boost has saved him for me on several occasions.

She uses the 2 bank instead of the straight. its still a lot more maneuverable
>>47776403
>she
Is both Whisper and Echo women?Unf

at least according to the wiki she is
>>47776316
Not for the barrel roll action, just for the decloaking roll/boost.
But yeah, she's tricky to use. But suprr fun when you've got the hang of her. Most people I see running her prefer the standard PS 8 setup with Advanced Cloaking Device. I've been having a blast with running her at PS 6, and giving her Push the Limit (or Juke), Stygian Particle Accelerator, and Sensor Jammer. Crew is optional, but Intel Agent has been most useful. The idea is cloak, fly in, decloak, take free evade action from Stygian, Push the Limit off the Evade and Barrel Roll or Focus/Target Lock, then activate and reveal green maneuver, remove stress and take maneuver, and use action to roll (if available) or focus. All that, combined with her crazy decloak banks, has resulted in players having no fucking clue where's she's going to end up, even when reacting to her "lowly" PS 6.

This. Echo is definitely female. Nobody knows with Whisper, but a lot of people refer to Whisper as a she.
>>47750635
Yeah, I dunno.
The reboot removed most of the SW fiction I liked from canon (I mostly liked TOR Era Star Wars - I'm weird like that).
Out of the currently canon Star Wars, I like TCW Animated series. Everything else is kindof meh.
I no longer follow the comics.

>I no longer follow the comics.
Have you by chance read the OLD Marvel Star Wars?
The pre-ESB run is both crazy and surprisingly focused on the Scum & Villainy side of things.
>>47777758
Huh.
No it was mostly Dark Horse stuff and some of the new comics.
That could be interesting.
But largely, I don't don't like the empire all that much, nor the rebels, and prefer to read about different factions instead, like the Sith Empire, or Mandalorians, or what have you.
>>47777758
I loved how goofy the old comics were. It was the good kind of retardation.
>>47777893
It was the benefit of having legit talents like Archie Goodwin and Carmine Infantino (who's art can be an acquired taste) just going nuts.
Chewie's metal as fuck, Han keeps running into scum craziness (like old style Jabba), we get the Wheel, Jaxxon, and Baron Tagge.
Oh, and Luke & Leia make out a LOT.

I'll clean it up and put it in the OP folders in a bit.

Late 70s, actually, so before Empire even
