Holy crap guys, is this Mynock?
So Imperial Veterans is in the catalog as 'SWX52'
Heroes of the Resistance is in the catalog as 'SWX57'
So we're missing four numbers. I'm thinking Disney leaned on FFG to preview a bunch of their Force Awakens stuff early for May 4th, which accelerated or threw their planned production schedule out of whack.
So we're missing Rebel Vets (SWX53), Scum Aces (SWX54), Scum Vets (SWX55) and Villains of the First Order (SWX56). Thoughts?
I just ordered the Force Awakens X-Wing box. Is it worthwhile to run another T-70 if I got Rebel?
I was thinking 2 T-70 and another ship? I don't know anything about the game. so any pointers would be appreciated.
>>47109529
The cost of the X-Wing, especially the T-70, makes running more than one kind of prohibitive at 100pts. By the time you're done upgrading it you've sunk 2/3rds of your list into two ships, with scant few options for a third. A nimble T-70 ace like Dameron with BB-8 or a cleverly kitted out Asty with the remainder of your list made up of hard hitters is your best bet.
>>47109529
Your best value second purchase is Rebel Aces.
>>47109913
>>47109949
Thanks for the advice.
Reposting my question from the end of last thread:
So, /swg/, tell us about that fanfic that you've been meaning to write but have never gotten around to
>>47109913
I disagree. Tarn Mison with R7 and IA is cheap as chips!
>>47110059
I don't write but if I did it would be slash fiction. Because I can.
>>47110059
I don't really write, but I had a few ideas for a hidden colony of alien cuties falling in love with dirty shenanigans.
>Warm tropical weather
>Hidden bathing pools by waterfalls
>Forbidden love between different species
>A few kinks thrown in the mix
>>47109949
Different anon here. How about a second buy for an imperial? Imperial aces?
>>47110059
Aside from the things that I've mentioned previously?
A star wars-ified adaptation of either Ride The High Country or Once Upon A Time In The West, though so much of the latter is in the cinematography that it probably wouldn't be so good as text anyhow.
>>47110179
Seriously Imp Aces is a great purchase for any faction. The modifications it comes with are game-makers.
>when you play a game and forget about an obscure upgrade you purchased which rerolls failed to-hit rolls, meaning you have a rougher than you would have if you'd remembered you had a free reroll per turn
>>47110059
Aside from my backlog of in-progress fics, I've got the following on a "maybe" basis:
>Millennium
Set 1000+ ABY, the Alliance is in the middle of what many consider a golden age. Most of the galaxy is at peace, the economy is on the uptick, and living standards have never been better. But underneath this gilded facade lies a rotten core. The hyperspace anomaly at the edge of the galaxy is spreading and, one by one, colonies are going dark. A little Delta Green, a little Shin Megami Tensei, a little Dark Souls.
>XW: Fortunate Sun
A follow-up to XWSOL detailing the battle for the Corellian theater during the last phase of the Sith-Imperial War. A little bit less Gundam than XWSOL, and a little bit more Pacific War.
>XW: Academy
A slight merging of nucanon and Legends. Poe, Snap, and Syal as bros at Alliance Navy Fighter Weapons School.
>V: Sins of the Father
Pic related
>Trioculus: Birth of a Legend
Definitely keeping this a one-shot deal.
Most of these will probably be scrapped or kept very short when I can't think of any real details beyond the starting premise. Not really sure which ones actually have potential to go anywhere.
>>47110456
>Not a single bit of pro-Imperial propaganda.
Mr XWW, Director Isard will see you now. No, we know you don't have an appointment. Just stay there and we'll pick you up.
>>47110790
>no pro-Imp
What, does a Trioculus story no longer count as pro-Imp?
>>47110818
Remembering Trioc is a treasonous action.
>>47110790
Go ahead and try it. I'll kick all their asses and then go back to deciding which love interest to plow this book.
Aldo, I will steal your entire kingdom
>>47110854
>After Palpatine's fiery death
>Another leader soon comes to command the Empire
>And on his right hand he does wear

40kfag here with an itch for x-wing. Is there any kind of "My Dudes"-way of doing things or is it only for doing things with established characters?
Need help finishing out an X wing list.
I have 31 points to play around with
I have
Poe with VI, R2D2 (don't have rebel transport), autothrusters
Jan Ors with Twin Laser Turret
I'm struggling hard with the 3rd ship. I've tried A wings with both Tycho and Jake, but even with 6 dice proton rockets, it's not been great and Jan's ability can't seem to make up for the atk 2.
I'm contemplating Luke with bb8, integrated astromech or Keyan Farlander with Fire control systems for now, but I could use any insight
>>47111100
You can totally run viable lists made up of generic aces, but even the best generic ace is subpar when compared to a named ace. There are enough obscure characters that you can run them in lists without feeling like you're playing the lore, if that's your thing.
>>47111114
Man, maybe a naked or nearly so YT-1300 to absorb fire?
>>47111114
>A-wings with both Tycho and Jake, but even with 6 dice proton rockets
I don't understand why people screw this up so often. Proton Rockets cap at 5 dice. It's right there on the card.
>>47111144
Jan Ors in the HWK let you roll additional die for attk. Proton rocket states that you add up to 3 for agility only.
>>47111114
What about a K-wing?
>>47111143
Yeah, but a naked yt-1300 is absolute shit statwise. If poe dies for whatever reason, I get stuck with an unplayable list.
>>47111168
with what though? tlt boat is a waste of Jan's abilities, Running the named ones means that you have no points to outfit it and they still suffer the low attk problem that A wings suffer from.
>>47111114
For thirty points you can field Nera Dantels (26) with Flechette Torpedoes (2), Deadeye (1), and Munitions Failsafe (1).
The trick with this build is that you WANT your torpedoes to miss, so use Deadeye to fire them and hope you don't get lucky. She's a reliable stresser like this, but would be better with Extra Munitions.
>>47111197
Isn't that counter intuitive with Jan Ors boosting attk power though?
>>47110963
god that cgi ages fast
>>47111282
It wasn't even that good to start with.
I remember being awed when watching the phantom menace visually, but dear fucking lord, the clone wars was just fucking uncomfortable to watch.
>>47111293
The clone wars was all cgi. If you didnt expect that going in, frankly it was your fault
>>47111304
Lucas actually used models and sets for Phantom Menace but he went 100% CGI for the next two.
>>47111264
Nope. Jan Ors is optional, you can use her on Poe, or even on Dantels when she's using her regular attack.
>>47111282
The space scenes still hang together pretty well, rest of the ground stuff is a bit cringe though.
>>47111340
Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith both had pretty extensive miniatures and sets built. Just not for every scene, and the composition was so weird that it could make sets look like cgi. The Clone Wars tv show, however, was all cgi.
>>47111376
>The Clone Wars tv show, however, was all cgi.
Well, duh, it's a 3d cartoon. Why would I even be talking about a cartoon?
>>47111387
>the clone wars was just fucking uncomfortable to watch.
:^)
>>47111114
Okay, after this >>47111264 post, assuming it was you, I'm going to guess you're pretty new to X-Wing. As such, I've fixed your list for you. If you don't have the Dorsal Turret (I understand, the Ghost is a big commitment) drop Weapons Guidance from Poe, put Blaster Turret on Katarn and make a 99 point initiative bid.
>>47111400
I just realized that the movie's name was attack of the clones. I feel silly now.
Wow, how little fuck I gave after that one.
>>47111427
You shouldn't feel silly, friend.
Whoever told George it was a good idea to name it 'Attack of the Clones' should feel silly.
>>47111433
Don't forget that there is also both a "The Clone Wars" and "Clone Wars".
>>47111426
Im slightly annoyed that you put extra munitions on Nera instead of another Flechette torpedo. Not sure why.
>>47111743
does it matter?
>>47111749
I suppose you get a card and a token, instead of just a card. I like to keep the tokens to a minimum, I guess.
>>47110177
>Merr-Sonn blaster
>No holster
>Sexy top by standard pants

>but he went 100% CGI for the next two.
No they didn't. They still used plenty of matte paintings and models and full sized sets. You know, Practical Effects™. Pic related is Sloth from Goonies working on the set for Felucia.
http://www.starwars.com/revenge-of-the-sith-behind-the-scenes
Still used plenty of green and blue screens but those were to superimpose the actors over the paintings and models.
I'm trying to make a heist for my players. I'm taking straight up Oceans Eleven: Star Wars Edition.
Currently trying to figure out enough different ways for each player to go for it to be fun so everyone has something to do and they feel like THEY really planned it. But also make it to where the whole thing doesn't turn into a combat encounter with one fucked up dice roll.
Though that is definitely harder to solve than it seems. It's obviously easier if one of 'em is just trying to talk their way in, or is in a restricted area- then they could just be escorted out. But someone climbing through vents or hacking a door would probably be detained if not shot.
The best I've figured out, which still seems like a poor solution to me, is, in one of those cases, they're put in an interrogation room, so that they at least have something to do, and could possibly escape if they're really skilled- and could at the very least be saved.
>>47112125
My GM got all the player characters together and asked them each to make up a thing they notice about the place they're robbing. Like extra security, types of locks, etc.
So, is there anyone that want to do some speculations about what these cards do?
Lets recap what we already know:
-Pilot Rei
-New MF Title
-New Pilot Poe
-Black One
-IA
Of the other cards and pilots we have some text showing, so lets try to fill that missing text up.
>>47112406

Still pissed about this bitch, they made a huge deal of her in the run-up and then she did a grand total of jack shit. I don't even care about it her, but it's bullshit manipulation.
>>47112406
Snaps Wexley reads

Does anyone else feel like there should be a dedicated x-wing and armada thread outside of the general? I feel like the number of posts they get per thread is substantial enough to warrant it and that discussion of other topics gets lost or overlooked.
>>47113049
I rarely see Armada discussions go on for more than a few replies unless it's some "wave 3 is shit" poster trying to stir people up. X-Wing gets a lot though I agree.
>>47113049
I don't think so. There isn't enough talk where every other topic of discussion gets drowned out. I'm refering to X-wing btw. Armada isn't too spoken about unfortunately.
On an unrelated note, I just got my hard copy of Edge of the Empire and dice. I have Age of Rebellion and Force and Destiny on the way as well
>>47113008
Just another day at the office, unfortunately. Still, could be worse. At least she's not Yamcha.
>>47113049
Most X-Wing posts involve people posting lists and maybe getting one or two replies, with the rest being completely ignored. This is an unusually X-Wing heavy thread.
>>47112406
I don't know what Snap S(hot) is, but I hope it's something like a 2/3pt upgrade which allows a second primary weapon attack after the first at the cost of a stress and the discarding of the card.
>>47113008
>she did a grand total of jack shit
That's not true. She destroyed Starkiller Base.
>>47113011
The wording looks a lot like the new MF title:

>>47113101
>>47113150
My main complaint is that the xwing system is mostly unrelated to the rest of the topics. There should be a place to discuss tactics and stuff but it is so different from the rest of the topics that treads are disjointed. This, on top of the frequency of posts increasing thread turnaround time, is why I suggested it.
Like if we start arguing about stats on a weapon in EotE, we can use all sorts of different systems for comparison on top of bullshitting about lore. Rules for xwing are more cut and dry. Discussions don't overlap in the same way because of how the system works.
Also, have fun with the FFG books - granted they are like 65% identical, but they all fun. System takes longer to get used to if you've played other rpgs, but new players pick up the narrative system faster.
>>47110963
Oh wow, never realized how bad she acted that.
>>47113474
Counterpoint: X-Wing discussion makes up ~15% of the average /swg/ thread at best. The current trend an exception due to the announcement of a new expansion pack. X-Wing threads would Page 10 with maybe 50 posts on their own and add unnecessarily to board clutter to /tg/ if separated.
Hey IAfags, what's the better command card between Fleet Footed and Urgency?
>>47113272
I guess that makes her atraitor
>>47112125
For heists I do the "three strikes you're out" rule. As in, they get 3 free fuck ups.
Ie., you fail the stealth check as an employee walks to the bathroom, too distracted to pay you much mind.
You fail to hack the mainframe, but luckily you took steps to ensure the alarm won't go off... This time.
While crawling through the vents you make a loud noise. "That exterminator was supposed to clear out the fucking mynocks...." Says a manager hitting the vent with a broom.
Then the next screw up is the big one.
>>47109241
Anyone read the potentially leaked VIII script? Or does that need spoilers (personally I'm not sure if it's real).
They need to get their security tighter.
>>47110059
Fanfic about Obi-Wan trying to balance fighting injustice on Tattooine with keeping a low profile so he doesn't blow his cover. Then he runs in Sabine who's on a secret mission, and realizes she's his daughter and has to decide between his duty to protect Luke and actually having a relationship with his own kid, since I want to keep my unlikely fan theory on life support
>>47113827
>potentially leaked VIII script
I suppose it's too much to hope for it being the Wing Commander IV script with some names changed?
>>47113827

So I've been looking at the droid crafting rules, my purpose was to build a high mechanics/computer assistant for my character.
Am I reading this the right way? I can have a swarm of minion droids with repair/computer to aid me, that scale with the number of droids in the group? For only 600 (300 with some half decent luck) credits per droid?
Is this really cheap or am I mistaken?
>>47110059
Fanfic of a Tie Interceptor squadron and how they and the ImpStar II they are stationed on copes with the post-endor Empire clusterfuck.
Think Biggles/WWI Flying Circus mixed Rogue Squadron and the dogfighting stuff from Battlestar Galactica, all from a Empire squadron's point of view instead of the usual rebel one
>>47115634
That sounds cool, I'd read that.
>mfw I'm hoping there is a cutie TIE Pilot
>>47113049
I only come here to post about X-Wing.
>>47112406
I'm thinking about changing my competitive list once this comes out. Currently it's this:
>Poe Dameron (31)
>>Veteran Instincts (1)
>>R2-D2 (4)
>>Integrated Astromech (0)
>Corran Horn (35)
>>Push the Limit (3)
>>BB-8 (2)
>>Fire Control System (2)
>Blue Squadron Pilot (22)
Would replacing the Blue with a Green Squadron Pilot be a good way to accommodate New Poe? I'm not the biggest fan of A-wings, but it would fill all of the leftover points.
>>47115723
Yep there's a female pilot. I've only written small action snippets and a rough storyline so far but i've fleshed out the squadron a bit at least:
Members of 109th Interceptor Wing, RAID Squadron (Rapid Attack, Interception and Defense) [Color of Interceptor]
1. Kier Varsin - Human Male from Coruscant [Black with white stylized Skull over cockpit]
2. Jazen Bynar - Human Male from Correllia [Blue with Corellian Bloodstripe over cockpit]
3. Baxter “Baron” VanMeer – Human Male from Kuat [Bright Green]
4. Markus Harna – Human Male from Chandrila [Silver cockpit with Light Blue panels]
5. Trebor Onasi – Human Male from Onderon [Dark Grey with Red and White shark teeth on panels]
6. Durgen Plo – Human Male from Carida [Quartered Yellow and Blue]
7. Jek Starwind – Human Male from Tatooine [Black and Orange Nexu Stripes]
8. Isabelle “Izzy” Janthine – Human Female from Carida [Starburst Red-Orange-Yellow]
9. Candorous Verd – Human Male from Concord Dawn [Sandy-Gold panels with Black cockpit]
10. Erran Forto – Human Male from Yaga Minor [Purple with White horizontal lines]
11. Urik Jakel – Human Male from Balmorra [Dark Green cockpit with Black and White Dazzle Camo Panels]
12. Saul Lareek - Human Male from Corulag [Dark Blue with Star camo]
>>47115854
If you want PS9 Poe you should give him some EPT like Predator or PTL, i would drop the B to a Chardaan refitted Proto pilot, then with those 7 points you should can give EU and possibly swap PTL to VI on Corran as he really shines with PS10, that leaves you with 5 points, enough to upgrade Poe to Nu Poe, swap VI for Predator/PTL and leaves 1 point that you can use for the new title or a 1 pt bid
>>47115975
>Human Male from Chandrila
>[Silver cockpit with Light Blue panels]
Sounds like a bitch.
>>47113376
The Smuggling Compartment could also be YT-1300 and Scum only.
One could only hope... It'd suddenly make Scyks a hair more interesting.
>>47116191
Silver with light blue actually looks pretty cool.
>>47112125
As mentioned, Jewel of Yavin will help you out. But also check Fly Casual, there's some general heist/trap suggestions there too.
>>47114692
Yes, but keep in mind that realistically, you're still limited to whatever really makes sense on a specific task. So building/tinkering with a gun, you could probably really only have like 2-3 people around it working on it - fixing/modding a ship, you could probably have 6+. So in general, it's better to have the fewer, but more skilled, hands helping you as opposed to churning out a ton of minions.
Imperial Assault got a closer look at the upcoming Lando pack today. Another good mid-cost unique for Rebels. The more of these we get, the more obvious it is that Han and Chewie are overcosted and unplayable.
>>47113604
I would post more if it was a dedicated thread for x wing.
Generals are dumb anyway
>>47116889
There's nothing stopping you from leaving the general and starting your own.
>>47116967
Except the law.
So, I've got this list with an undefeated record so far in casual play, wanted to get an opinion or two on what could be tweaked.
http://xwing-builder.co.uk/view/485096/989-hook#
>>47116889
> Generals are dumb
> I'll make my own General
>>47116191
That is interesting. Especially if it works like Sabine Binder and gives ships which already have an Illicit slot a second Illicit slot.
I'll be running a more intrigue based campaign around the imperial palace, and I was wondering, does the empire have anything like political parties, atleast before the Senate was dissolved in ep iv? And if not political parties, factions? Like, the ultra nationalist/military wing, the sycophant palpatine stooges, the imperial traditionalists who are just doing their jobs, and so on?
>>47117062
If it aint broke don't fix it.
That being said I would lose the Rockets + TC from Vader and give Fel a Stealth Device. You know, just to piss people off even more.
>>47111282
I didn't have a problem with it then, and I don't have a problem with it now. Sometimes I feel like hating on CGI is just something people do because you're expected to.
>>47117114
Excellent. I'm already enjoying how annoying Fel is. I had a game last week where he evaded ten turns ot Dash Rendar mangler cannon fire. With focus+evade+autothrusters, all I needed to survive a shot was at least one focus to be rolled. The Baron didn't take a single hit.
>>47117187
Yeah, I pretty much quit the game for two months because I got sick of throwing 6+ dice at Fel every turn and coming up with bupkis. The new Poe Dameron is going to shut his shit down hard and I will laugh in the face of every sad Fel player when he does.
>>47115975
If they're all humans, why do you keep listing that?
>>47117214
I'm pretty sure that I'm going to stop using this casually, ad reserve it for tourneys.
Especially with BB8, Poe's one of the easiest pilots I've had to ever set up a shot. Can adjust pre-move with a barrel + boost if you're running PtL.
In a Saga campaign, would it be a good idea for a Jedi character to save Skill Focus (Use the Force) for the mid-levels to avoid outclassing the rest of the party? Also, wouldn't it be a good idea in the later levels, once you have a few Force Replenishments (the only force technique that seems good to me in any way), to grab the Scoundrel talent 'Fool's Luck' for a +5 to Use the Force in every encounter?
Lastly, how do I become a half-decent lightsaber fencer while investing heavily in force powers?
>>47117328
UTF is at its most usefulness in the early levels, when you do not have a great deal of bonuses form level divided by 2. I recommend getting it as early as possible. Skill focus and your cha modifier will make or break your OP jedi status in the levels before 8-12, or the lack thereof.
>>47113182
I never thought Boba Fett was cool until I read some of the EU stories about him. He gets a pass for that.
>>47115723
TailHeads, you need to fap before posting in /swg/.
>>47117372
>cool armor
>has a jetpack
>disintegrated a motherfucker in some unmentioned past incident
>survived a firefight with one of the main heroes
>not afraid of Vader and still didn't get choked out
The Fett-man had some street cred, even if taken at purely film value.
>>47109351
I'm surprised this didn't get more interest. Has Armada shaken our belief in reading the augers of FFG's catalogue code?
>>47117429
Meh, the armor and jetpack were cool when I saw ROTJ when I was seven but Fett wasn't an OMG AMAZING kinda character for me. Even after reading the EU, I just think he's pretty cool.
>>47117458
Yeah, Boba Fett's coolness seems to settle in at "pretty okay" once you take out the Traviss faggotry.
Phasma will probably reach similar or lower levels once people are past the nucanon's overhype phase.
>>47117288
Because the rest of the cast have nonhumans in it.
>>47117536
Phasma is just kinda pathetic to be honest.
>>47109351
I dont think they would do two scum boxes at once like that.
My guess is that Rebel Vets is SWX58, and 53-56 is wave 9.
>>47117298
The problem I've always seen with PtL Poe and BB-8, is he's predictable. Sure he can barrel-roll, boost, reveal a green, and then focus... But the T-70's list of green maneuvers isn't impressive. In fact, they're the exact same green maneuvers the Starviper has. And with how BB-8 triggers, you don't tend to see Poe popping PtL on his actual action, thus requiring a Green with no BB-8 shenanigans on the next turn. Because of this, I found that despite the action economy, Poe in this setup is really easy to predict. They will likely go straight 1 thru 3, or bank 1, and will set themselves up a lateral roll and possibly a 1 bank/straight or TL/Focus before they do that.
>>47117536
I doubt it. Honestly, what were they thinking. If you want to make the new boba fett, you don't have them defeated in their first appearances as a joke, and you don't have them give up the shields like any random moko would.
>>47117615
I'm thinking we'll see a TFA Kylo Reb shuttle, the two-seater Tie/SF, Wave 9, Leia's transport, and Scum Veterans.

>>47117651
Seeing as her actress is back for Episode VIII, maybe she'll actually be relevant this time. I highly doubt the next movie's writers will be any less awful than TFU's, but one can hope.
>>47117547
Phasma was just a plaoon leader/commander, whatever. Like Boba, the writers didn't expect her to be an instant favorite. So yeah, all she does/did was look impressive in her Naboo-chrome armor, say three (maybe four) lines of dialog, and get stuffed down a trash chute offscreen.
>>47117700
I'm pretty sure they were trying to recreate Boba. They got Gwendoline Christie to play her, put her in the Trailer, etc.
>>47117700
>the writers didn't expect her to be an instant favorite
>all those promotional images

>being played by Whatsername Christie

They made the same mistake Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion did with Patrick Stewart.
>>47113008
Was at the sdcc 2015 panel, the amount of "strong female character" wanking over Phasma was absurd. I leaned over to my buddy and said "I bet $20 she has less than 20 lines".

>>47118339
That was the problem... There were too many 40k threads (and still are), about completely inane topics. So just "making a thread" about a topic you want to discuss doesn't work on a board like /tg/ with vast amounts of subject matter. It gets buried under the tidal wave of "rate muh list", "spess muhreens are thah best", "spess muhreens are maree soo", and pterodactyl porn. So we make general threads to keep these topics alive, off page 10, and centralized to one area. Unfortunately some fanbases don't understand the concept...

What does hiding do?
>>47118487

>>47113616
Any imperial amor fag willing to give some advice?
>>47118444
And even though I don't play 40k I discuss more of that game and discover more off shoot variants of the game or lore.
I don't know any board game releases from the last 3 years because I never visit bbg. I never visit bbg even I play board games because it is not my primary interest.

>>47118554
And I have lost all interest in 40k, Magic, and DnD. As well as versus threads, and rate-me's. And those subjects tend to be the biggest spammers.
Some aren't, like the BGG, or Epic threads. They're pretty chill.
>>47118521
I would have never thought
>>47118631
But you can filter those in catalogue.
I have to dig to get into a general and find maybe a topic of my interest. Not to mention multiple conversations get lost in general.
>>47118661
The thing is that if you split the thread in multiple smaller thread they will eventually all reach page 10 on a daily basis with 50 or less posts, then people will get bored on keeping creating threads just to see them die with little to no response and the whole game discussion will die out.
>>47118661
It is difficult though to filter out all the 40k threads. You end up having to filter every keyword you can think of, and you still get stragglers.
>>47118702
This.
Which is why I don't mind X-Wing and Armada being lumped into the general. You see discussions for them, but there's a lot of discussion for a variety of different Star Wars stuff, and it keeps what I view as the downtime interesting.
>>47118426
>Is this going to be your summer project?
Probably. Along with three other /tg/ related projects i've been working on for the last year or so. Starting to see th elight at the end of the tunnel on one of them so maybe i can devote more time to storywriting instead of crunching numbers and pitting imaginary teams against each in order to catch any bugs that slipped through

>Player Wanders around the planet, helping the factions who are fairly morally grey

>Wide arsenal of guns and vehicles
>Repairing stuff actually makes sense now because you're using a fusion cutter on something

Would you play?
>>47119001As the guy who wrote the smut, I don't ship them I just like them messing around.
>>47118736
I understand why it's done, though I'm just a little butt hurt that I've had some questions/posts overlooked due to inconguant nature of xwing discussion versus everything else.
So, me and a friend were discussing things you could do with the new stuff from Resistance Aces, and the two most broken ideas I had were these:
https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel%20Alliance&d=v4!s!196:18,-1,148,-1:39:20:;201:49,-1,159,74:40:3:&sn=Unnamed%20Squadron
So, firstly it's PS9 Poe. He's got BB-8, PTL, Black-1 and Integrated (because the Initiative bid is important) Basically, this means he can: Reveal a Green Maneouver -> Barrel Roll -> PTL something off that Barrel Roll -> Green Maneouver sheds stress -> PTL again.
Effectively, we have a PS9 murderhobo with a potential action economy of 4 actions and access to BR and Boost.
At PS9.
This kills the Fel
The Rey build is one me and my friend had a bit of an argument over timings and whether or not FFG are going to errata it away for being too broken.
Essentially, with Kanan and the new Title having the same timing then the player get's to choose what order they resolve. So, you could move 3 -> Use the title to S-Loop -> Then have Kanan go off to lose the stress -> Kyle then gives you a focus -> Engine Upgrade boost.
This is OUTRAGEOUS manevouerability, as well as making Rey's ability incredibly solid when paired up with Kyle's. To which you can combine with (in this case) Opportunist for even more dice where applicable (although an extra stress kind of breaks the combo a bit), or pretty much anything.
>>47119113
Eh, it happens. Got any questions you need answered, now?
>>47119152
The timing deal on the new MF title and Kanan's ability, will be interesting to see. I'd be willing to bet money that it gets ruled so that the MF gaining a stress occurs after Kanan's ability goes off. But that'd still be good.
All things considered however, the Falcon is not the most survivable of ships without C-3P0 and the Evade action. In this setup you are banking on trying to Arc-Dodge and not get shot, as you otherwise have just 1 Agility and a Focus to work with. I've flown enough B-Wings to know that doesn't last long, especially when shields are gone and you're stacking crits.
The PtL Poe build, as mentioned earlier, lacks in that it is predictable. Your only greens are straight and 1 banks. Compared to Fel, who has all the 2 speed maneuvers, and up to 4 speed straight as green, this makes PS 9 Poe considerably easier to second guess. Plus Fel has the ever useful ability to PtL and get both an Evade and Focus, whereas Poe is stuck with just Focus, 1 less Agility (and twice the health).
I would say the build has potential. They're both going to be solid ships, and it can definitely wreck face in the right hands. But I woulsn't say it's "broken" tier, or meta-shattering.
>>47119294
Sure - from last thread.
So I'm trying to flesh out my BBEG for my FaD campaign. He was a Jedi before the clone wars, but defected to the Separatists because he was an idealist who agreed with Dooku.
At the moment his motivation for being disillusioned from the jedi was a relatively successful rescue mission - though he wasn't able to save a little girl. Basically the response of "Well its the will of the force, and it could have been way worse. Good Job." really got under his skin and caused him to leave the order. He goes off to join up with Dooku and gets turned to the dark side. The scene I'm imagining is basically Herr Starr's origin flashback from volume 6 of Preacher, but in space.
I'm considering adding a detail - that the Jedi counsel assigned him to spy on Dooku (cause there are Sith out there you know) and that is another push away from the order, but it may be overkill at that point.
As a result, he fights for the Seperatists for a bit, and during the Clone Wars he kills his wife because he thinks she's the only one who could convince him to stop. (he was a Corellian Jedi - so he could get married)
Any other ideas on how to break the will of a Jedi idealist?
>>47119568
I think having him spy on Dooku is a bit overkill. But you could have him be convinced that his wife was betraying him to the council. Or that he thought she had a huge lady-boner for Mace Windu, and it bothered him more than he admitted. And ultimately he could fall because he realizes he was on the wrong side all along, made a bad choice to go with the seperatists, and now the Jedi council is dead and Order-66-ed. Add some guilt pangs, force chokes his wife (more than she usually liked), and the loss of a limb or three, and you should have a convincing BBEJedi
>>47119152
My PS9 Poe is gonna be:
Predator+R2D2+Autothrusters+1 for bid/Black One
43 points
But first i want to see what the new EPTs and Tech upgrades do
>>47118869
Anon... I know that. I was asking him about his fiancée.
>>47119807
I think Predator + BB-8, and PtL R5-P9, will stay my primary Poe builds. Maybe Outmaneuver and BB-8, although that seems to run better on Ello Asty.
>>47119780
The chronology of it is that he's fallen by the time he kills his wife during the middle of the Clone wars. At that point he's got his basic plan in place and he spends the time between trilogies putting his plan into action with the cash and connections he steals from the separatist army in the last days of the clone wars.
Justification for killing his wife was he thought she might have been able to convince him to abandon the plan. They'd have been estranged for a while at that point.
I like the "ratting me out to the counsel" angle.

>>47118487
Ranged attacks targeting you get -2 accuracy (you need X accuracy to hit a target X spaces away), and when you attack, you gain an extra surge and lose the hidden condition. Being hidden does a lot to protect against medium- to long-range potshots. However, those mostly occur on the first turn, before Lando would have much chance to hide himself.
Pic related will make great use of hiding, especially because he can use the deflection command card (another -2 accuracy, and if you don't suffer any damage from the attack, deal 2 damage to the attacker). Starting a skirmish off hidden also means he's much less at risk on the first round.
>>47120120
Ramming doesn't work with flotillas. So unless you just want 11 blue dice, you won't get anything out of that.
>>47120718
12! 12 Blue dice!
Maybe it'd just be better to run like 8 of them and a pile of fighters.
>>47119007
Sounds good, but you should be able to get a lightsaber in NG+
>>47120835
Definitely. I'd actually have rebuilding your lightsaber be a plot point and something you accomplish about 60% of the way through the game.
>>47113008
Give her time. She's already a bigger character than Wedge ever was in the movies, and everyone thinks he's awesome.
>>47120929
Yeah, but Wedge established his coolness right from the start by killing a TIE and surviving Yavin.
>>47120929
I thought he was awesome because of the X-Wing Comics.
>>47120929
Wedge has (so far) had more lines of dialogue, and more action sequences.

A group of B1 battle droids survive the Clone Wars (somehow missed the shutdown order), and try to make a new life for themselves. It basically plays the "I hate this job" stuff seen in TCW straight, being a black humor piece about "mindless" droids just trying to survive in a galaxy that hates them.
Hilarity ensues.
>>47121490
Fun Fact: getting married at 22-26 has the statistical lowest chance of divorce, assuming that neither person already has kids and wasn't a slut beforehand. The rate is something like 8%
>>47121634
Better fact: Marriage statistics vary wildly by country, and even by race and ethnic background (except where higher levels of education are obtained). In the US for instance, there is substantially lower divorce rates for those who have obtained a Bachelor's degree, and the average age for marriage is 26 for those achieving that level of education. For those with less than a high school degree (drop outs with no GED), the average age for marriage is 20, and above 50% of them end in divorce before the age of 46.

Alright guys. So I'm starting to work on my overall plot for my game. The pc are going to be sent on increasingly more lucrative and dangerous assignments by my bbeg. He's a Hutt, but I want to make him force sensitive.
I want my guys to be smart enough to lure an inquisitor to him by the end game because fighting him would be a nightmare.
Those are my start and end points, what do you think? To shitty of an end? Maybe they won't even get that far. First mission is going to be them raiding a nearby gang settlement for some weapons in retribution for a recent raid on the hutts territory. It's my first time gming anything so just tear my shit apart if you think it deserves it
Alright, I've posted here a few weeks ago asking about an optimal X-Wing set for a limited budget. Managed to get for now the Force Awakens core set, a Tie Advanced, Y-Wing and Millenium Falcon.
Game is fun and all, but I'm willing to play with my tabletop group and one of them suggested a campaign game. That means, playing a cooperative mode of sorts like Hero Quest with spaceships. Has anyone tried this? Any suggestions for balancing?
>>47123304
Look up Heroes of the Aturi Cluster. Haven't played it myself, but I've read good things.
>>47123042
The word "frigate" doesn't really refer to any particular size of ship in Star Wars.
>>47115988
(Same anon as before) I don't really like using EU on Corran. I tried it twice (against Brobots and Decimator/Whisper) and lost horribly both times.
>>47123368
I played three or four missions and enjoyed them.
>>47123042
If we're talking something along the lines of a YT-1300 or 2400, it could be effectively flown by a single pilot. For point A to B you'd be fine. Maybe some difficulty physically loading and unloading cargo but for the bare minimum you'd survive. With some modifications you could perhaps even lock the gun turrets forward and manage combat with a single pilot.
If you add in a co-pilot they could manage shields and systems so the pilot could concentrate on flying in combat. An extra set of hands would help with cargo hauling as well.
Add in 1 or 2 gunners and you're damn well set. In combat the pilot flies, the co-pilot coordinates, and the gunners shoot in the full 360 arcs of the turrets allow rather than locked forward.
>>47123304
Heroes of the Aturi Cluster is actually pretty fire. I've played most of a campaign (we only stopped due to half of our members having to leave for familly reasons), and it was good. You're gonna need a lot of cash to get enough ties though, so play with a group. The sheets are nice but you don't need them to play.
A couple of the objectives are important though. I'd recommend it.
>>47124121
I think he means the next class of ship up like the corellian corvette. Freighters are pretty easily crewed by 2-3 people they do it in almost every film
>>47123042
Just look up a real ship that's about the same size and divide the standard crew complement by 10 to call it a "skeleton crew."
My group captured an Imperial Raider, which is 150 meters long, so I looked up a typical naval destroyer about the same length and saw that they are usually crewed by 170-200 men.
So I told them, they could move it from point A to point be with just the party(6 of them), but to be effective in combat, they'll need to hire on at least 20 people.
They got 30 and I'm looking forward to running them through the ringer.
For the sake of simplicity, we've been using the X-Wing rules for dogfights since EotE's own rules are pretty dogshit.
Working on a larger space scenario using Armada rules. Trying to make it tough and scary enough to make them move, but not too murderous.
Starting Bloodlines, and about a quarter in. Some of the politics started out weird, but I think it'll shake out by the end of it(Leia I think is in the wrong faction for how she ends up), and I like Han Solo, Respectable Businessman and Race Organizer, and the thought of Chewie, Dad Extraordinaire.
I need your best bounty targets /swg/
>>47120929
The difference between Boba and Phasma is that in Boba's first movie he stood around and looked cool, growled 3-4 lines, was respected by Vader and sussed out Han's trick to escape the Imperials. You can fabricate cool out of that deserved or otherwise.
In Phasma's first movie she spends the first half reprising the role of the boss from Office Space and in the second half was captured without a fight, gave up classified intel without being tortured (and was barely threatened) and was unceremoniously dumped in a trash compactor. There is nothing to hang cool on. The one thing they could have done to make her cool they gave to a throwaway character.
Whether you like the idea of her character or not, the writer's wasted it.

Remind them that the big reason you have more crew is redundancy. Fatigue builds up over time, can't throw people at a problem to make it go away, crew deaths mean entire systems are unmanned. Command efficiency breaks down when one guy tries to wear twenty hats. The titular head engineer can't fix the garbage compactor when he spends every waking hour keeping the engines from exploding. And so on.
>>47124554
>Command efficiency breaks down when one guy tries to wear twenty hats
I guess that explains why we don't have Half-Life 3 yet.
>>47124554
That's why they went for 20 over my minimum of 30. I give them props for thinking that, but they're still understaffed and I will be reminding them of fatigue as the campaign rolls on.
They've been running a day/night cycle with only 4 people on their graveyard shift.
Perfect time to ambush them when most of them are tired.
Or non-stop harassment that wears down even the best of them over several days' time.
>>47124608
>That's why they went for 20 over my minimum of 30
Er. I meant that the other way around. 30 instead of 20.
>>47124632
I thought you had meant that you have 50 guys instead of 30.
>>47124656
Nope. They couldn't afford to hire that many.
They did give up on upgrading their personal gear to afford the 30 they have.
This is of course an investment into bigger and better opportunities and bounties. Of course, that comes with bigger and badder opposition.
>>47124533

I had this idea I've been mulling around for a while about this retelling of the Battle of Turkana of X-Wing fame. From what I’ve read it was the first major fleet engagement of the Civil War and the first involving X-Wings, TIE Interceptors, and Mon-Cal Cruisers. What’s interesting is that there were a lot of major military figures that participated in the battle. Ackbar and Piett were present. Wedge fought his first engagement there and shot down three TIES before ejecting.
In Legends it was primarily a Starfighter engagement and no capital ships were lost, but I was thinking of expanding it and making it a major battle in the vein of Endor or Yavin and tell in from multiple perspectives like classic war movies such as Tora Tora Tora, Midway, etc. For the Rebels the primary perspective is Ackbar, recently promoted to Fleet Admiral and given the seeming impossible task of forging a unified fleet capable of engaging the Empire. From the Imperial perspective its Piett, fighting on behalf of a war machine that’s on paper is superior but in reality is overextended, struggling to maintain order in the outer rim, and undermined by incompetence and backstabbing in the upper echelons.
>>47124608
There's maintenance as well. After a month or so without proper maintenance things are going to start getting !!fun!! as code gets buggy, minor leaks and breaches build up and systems generally become less reliable.
With fatigue comes stupid mistakes as well. Mix up a docking protocol and you end up venting cargo. Arming a weapon before loading may lead to detonation before firing.
>>47125302
But you do need to wear dangly earrings into battle?
>Phasma
>To the front
More like to the trash
>>47112125
My suggestion is tell them not to worry about planning every last detail. If something comes up, let them pay a lightside point and "Flash back" to having discussed this and/or made preparations for it.
>>47125438
Secondary stories would be from the perspective of Wedge and an imperial pilot and their struggles to survive. With it before the Battle of Yavin, you could introduce other pilots like Garven Dreis (Red Leader) and Davish "Pops" Krail (Gold Five) trying to train these new recruits before being flung into the fire.
>>47125565
Eh, it's slightly less unacceptable if you keep them under a helmet or if they're magic.
>>47125565
Dangly earrings are terrible.
>>47123368
>>47124270
A bit late reply, but thanks. This seems great. Guess I'd need to check mostly the rules, because the majority of Tie variants isn't available around these parts so there would be necessary adaptations.
I also found a local group so I'd guess this could be a vible options. That said, I'm still a novice and i'd like to try my luck in competitions and such. Guess that's a bit broad, but do you guys have any hints for a newbie? What's a good setup with these ships (X and Y-Wing, 2xTies, 1xAdvanced, Falcon)? Anything I should keep an eye out for competitions? Thanks

Low level stuff but I tend to prefer GM'ing low power games:
Loser of a card game gone bad. Some guy got swindled at cards and wants the other 4-6 people at the table beaten up/kidnapped/robbed/killed (pick one or more). He's paying per person with a bonus for all of them. If you want moral grey area have the party discover that he wasn't, in fact, swindled, he's just terrible at cards.
The angry ex of a quest giver of the party (or anyone of an average relationship on a decent first name basis) wants that person super dead. Let the party struggle with suddenly the bounty that has a name and face and history. Will they pick money or the sorta-but-not-really-friend?
The target of this bounty has stolen something from the patron. The patron doesn't want the target dead or even hurt, they just want their stuff back AND an in-person apology from the target. The item that was stolen is of a decent monetary value. The patron is usually very much against violence but the police or whoever won't help. The party has to convince the target to apologize but the patron will become upset if they force them to do so through violence or threats of violence, especially if it happens right in front of them. The PCs could, alternatively, steal the item for themselves.
A bounty on another bounty hunter who is hunting the patron.
A race to the target against other bounty hunters

In the short time Wedge was on screen, he survived the first Death Star, took down an AT-AT with Janson on Hoth and shares a Death Star kill with Lando.
During the short time Phasma was on screen, she obeyed orders like a grunt, was intimidated by an old man, his wookie and a rookie traitor, and thrown into the trash after doing what led to Starkiller base's downfall.

On the other hand, everyone who watched TFW will recognize Phasma in the next two movies. Viewers who aren't EU fans may not even notice that the supporting character pilot is the same guy in all three original movies.

>Boba Fett, trailed Han Solo to Bespin
>Managed to capture Han with Darth's + dozens of Storm troopers
>Hands him over to Jabba
>Gets shit beaten out of him by a blind Han and half-trained kid with laser bat
>Falls into a space vagina like a punk
People love him

Still more impressive than Phasma.

Fett's just one of several throwaway bounty hunters. Was he even named in the movies?
Phasma got an ass-ton of hype for absolutely no payoff. She's the leader of the first order stormtroopers and does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING the entire movie beyond nag the main character for taking off his fucking hat.
At least fett did something.

He was called out by name during the Sarlacc Pit scene.

The Imperial Field Commander's guide that came out a little while ago has a great section on Turkana, the official art depicts the Rebels entirely losing an MC80 and the Imperials most their TIEs, but the Destroyers get out.
Not sure why the Wook just says 'heavily damaged', probably because it doesn't outright say it was destroyed in the text - but the image has it literally exploding under turbo laser fire.
So, how do you determine what's too much to throw at your party? I've realized recently I may have only one or two games left with half of my players who are moving back to the States and I'm going to ramp up the story to finish it.
They've already meet the big bag imperial agent once, but he was only there to arrest their patron. Now that they're back in core world territory he can bring the full brunt of the empire on them and I'm struggling to figure out if he should have a squad or whole platoon supporting him. One character will likely have bio grenades (like galaxies combat medic) by then, two have fully maxed sense force powers, and another is a rather beastly gunslinger... They're being hunted because they have uncovered the truth of the Rakatan empire.

Probably draw the line at planetoids.

Shit, it is isn't it?
Ah well. 3 Action Economy isn't bad. Sure, one of those actions HAS to be a BR, but if you always PTL before your green maneouver then it's basically free actions.
Black One title is also going to give ATC DArth problems as well, as now he has to constantly use an action to re-up the TL, which he can't spend in order to use ATC.
It's not the end of the world, but it does mean Darth can't just get behind Poe and Evade - Focus constantly.
Plus, I haven't worked it exactly out, but if poe constantly F or Bank 1's whilst Barrel Rolling as far back as he can, then I think there's a good chance he can force Darth to overshoot him since the Advanced doesn't have a forward 1.
I've had that problem with my A-Wings where a guy I'm behind goes slow and forces me to overshoot or ram.

On the one hand, that's no longer canon.
On the other hand, in order to save Chewie, we had to lose Han.

That's the image that kind of inspired me. That image didn't look like a inconclusive starfighter engagement to me.
In the back of my head, I'm thinking the Battle of Turkana is the fight that inspires that line in A New Hope that the Rebels are more powerful than you realize. It must have been a real shock when Star Destroyers, supposedly the most powerful ships in the galaxy, are suddenly going toe to toe with ships that are superior to them in certain aspects (shields, hull strength) and crafted by so called inferior aliens. Add to that the power of the Rebels' starfighter corps and I can see it completely undermining the Empire's image of an unstoppable war machine.
It also could further justify, in the Emperor's mind, the construction of the Death Star. The Empire is already taxing known space to the brink and creating the largest military ever, and its STILL not enough to control the galaxy. The only way to rule a galaxy this vast is with the fear of overwhelming unstoppable force, which also happens to neatly fits with his Sith mentality.

I want to play nu poe so bad right nowi could also put Autothrusters on Jake instead of Poe and get him Integrated Astromech instead

Yeah, but at least losing Han was a worthwhile tradeoff, if only because Ford didn't want to keep going back to the role anyway. The real crime was the writers erasing Han's character development.

A lot of no-named pilot lists are making way in regional, however top tables are usually being lead by a named pilot.

Darth has a banking 1
