In my opinion as forever GM of star wars

A ship is always the best option - it allows the maximum amount of freedom to the player characters, while providing a home atmosphere, and represents multiple ways the players and their characters can use their skills - it also represents an evolving tool, and if done right, becomes a party member in its own right.

Just don't ever let players name things.

It has a secondary benefit of proving a plot point for GM's, and a form of economy control. It can also help players generate money assuming you have something that can haul cargo.

One of the most vital things I give my players starting out is a legit hauling license. It requires monthly dues be paid, but it allows them to not be fucked over by customs and laws - plus, hauling legit cargo is a good way to make money on the side - even if you have a party of rebels or jedi

Seriously?

Was he a fucking TIE Ace? Normal TIE pilots can't do shit unless grouped up.

Logically, he should have gotten a turn, maybe two, of scratching paint, and then the players either would have blown him up, or hyperspaced away if the fight was going against them.

Dice can be dicks, but not to that extent man. wtf

You can work some pretty solid lists out with just those, the biggest thing to worry about would probably be loading up too many points on the firespray.

Oh I was not planning to.

The Z-95's will probably carry missile for swarm busting, going to try a few things with the Y-wing to see what works best.
>>
>>44460952
Not him, but it looks like it's barely possible. 4 Success and 2 Advantage/1 Triumph (for Linked) and blanks on the opposing dice. It'd be a hell of a lucky/unlucky roll. GM probably should've held his punches and just let the one hit slide go and impose setbacks with the rest or something.

Hi guys, we are going to start a new campain in Star Wars Saga Edition, KOTOR era. I played only two sessions few years ago, so i don t' know anything. I want to build a Han Solo like character, but i want him as a mon calamari. Can you advice me for some feats or talents?

>>44461578
Looks like a good option.

That, a base Z-95 and another with missiles for TIE swarms gives 11 free points to work with on the Firespray.
>>
>>44460687
Abrams isn't directing the next two movies though. Even then Disney wouldn't allow that.

>>44461664
Well, you could always just copy the book's build for Han Solo, but that might not work well. You also could take feats based on the Prestige Class you want to go into.

>>44461664
Start off as scoundrel with spacehound for your first talent. If you're going to be the primary pilot, both skill focus (piloting) and vehicular combat probably should be mandatory. Do you want one pistol or two?

Quick interactions question for X-wing. If I toss Ezra Bridger onto an E/2 Keyan Farlander, would Ezra activate before I burned the stress using Keyans ability, or after, or is it a case of I'd have to do it in order to be able to do both?

What capital ships would the Black Sun have access to?

I know they have basically infinite money, but what can that get them? Have they canonically possessed a Dreadnought, Mon Calamari cruiser, Victory Star Destroyer, anything big?

Trying to figure it out for Armada reasons
>>
>>44461771
SAGA is odd in that you are given the option of focusing on one weapon and stacking it up with extras like rapid fire, etc., or dual wield and offset dual wielding penalties by taking more dual wielding feats. Both are feat heavy, but after 3 feats dual wielding goes from a -5 to 0 penalty while things like rapid fire will still cost you -2. If you're not going to be the primary ground combatant, you might not even need to worry about it, just upgrade your pistol for a flat fee with an outlaw tech or boost initiative and go for some sneak attack feats.

Depending on how much Solo you want to go, a dip into Noble for its connections talents might be good to make it easier to get hands on illegal equipment and spice running.

This anon >>44461757 is right in that SAGA is build heavy, so if you do have a prestige class in mind, like Ace Pilot, Privateer, Gunslinger, etc., you should keep in mind their requirements. Look at those and see if you want to take Han Ackbar in any of those directions-SAGA encourages multiclassing, and prestige classes do get better defensive bonuses and force points/level.
>>
>>44462025
Are you involved in all 3 factions yet? Because I just branched out from rebels into the other two, and it's already a glorious mistake.
>>
>>44462057
Black Sun aren't really a Capital Ship kind of organization. They mostly make due with small, fast freighters and maybe a pimped out blockade runner or two to shift illegal cargo.

They work from the shadows and would rather bribe, assassinate or blackmail their enemies than get caught in a ship-to-ship slugging match

So I've painstakingly undercoated these damn TIE squadron TIEs for Armada, are there any variant colour schemes at all or is it really just the Interceptors that get some nice colours? I was hoping to at least paint up Howlrunner's ship and squadron differently but it seems that even she flew just a basic-ass Fighter, not even any extra red stripes or anything for her.
>>
>>44460952
Actually, basic ass TIE Fighters can do some decent shit with high-speed maneuvers such as, I think it's called, Take the Advantage? I dealt a crippling shot to my party's not-Millenium Falcon using that. However, the party should have had someone with high Agi in the gunner seat taking the Fighter out before it could do anything like that.

Running a tournament with some houserule buffs to the M3-A Scyk. Namely:

>New Title: Mandal Motors Interceptor - 0pts
>M3-A Interceptor only.
>When performing a barrel roll you may use the speed 1 Left Bank or speed 1 Right Bank template instead of the speed 1 straight template.
>When you reveal a turn manoeuvre, you may instead perform a Talon Roll of the same direction and speed. Treat the manoeuvre as a red manoeuvre.

>Revised Title: “Heavy Scyk” Interceptor - 2pts
>M3-A Interceptor only.
>Your upgrade bar gains the Cannon, Torpedo OR Missile upgrade icon.
>Increase your hull value by 1.

Bearing those buffs in mind, I'm going to try running some Scyk based lists. Note that all the M3-As that don't have a title are actually using the above Mandal Motors Interceptor title.

Should work well.

Comms relay is an interesting choice, and at first glance I thought it was a fuckup until I remembered Red Ace's ability. That's ingenuity, and I like it.

Adv. Cloaking Device
39 pts.

Soontir Fel
Push The Limit
Royal Guard TIE
Stealth Device
Autothrusters
35 pts.

"Omega Leader"
Juke
Comm Relay
26 pts.

That feels like the "best" version of your three TIE aces list you keep trying
>>
>>44462968
It's still weak though. Such a barebones Whisper will be targeted down, and then you've only got two other low hull value ships flying around. If you're taking either a Phantom or Interceptor (no need to take both, they fulfill the same role of arc-dodgan and hitting back with some nice attack dice) then you'll want some kind of beefy distraction on the other side of your deployment zone, such as a swarm or Firespray.
>>
>>44460349
BB-8 on a low PS T-65 is pretty "meh". That free barrel roll isn't going to do much for you when most non-generic ships will be activating afterwards.

And B-Wings don't really need Mangler Cannons unless they're name is Ten Numb. If you go for a cannon, make it a utility (speciically the Ion), or give them the firepower of the HLC.


Otherwise, if it's for shits and grins, it will be fine. The color-coded "XABY-build" (Zabby) is a lot of fun to fly.

WEG Star Wars was the first RPG I've played, in 1989. Besides the official sourcebooks I liked the stuff that from time to time appeared in the Challenge magazine. The unofficial H-Wing from Challenge 35 became a popular ship in our group. It's a heavy fighter, a good choice for escort missions. The H-Wing has a crew of 3: pilot and two gunners. Three players manned the fighter while other two players served as pilot/co-pilot in a YT cargo ship.
I still like this ship so maybe I introduce it as a prototype in an AoR campaign

Scum Firesprays are amazing, and far better than their Imperial counter-parts.

Scum Boba basically has built/in rerolls, and does well when thrown into the thick of things. He doesn't need the K4 Droid, but he does love Glittercrack.

Kath Scarlet is a fucking beast, and has earned the nickname "Dat Ass Kath" in my LGS. Give her a K4, and have her kite the opponent around whenever you can. We've seen some really sick combos where she's paired with Palob and given Opportunist, resulting in 6-dice out the back arc, and even once vaporized an unsuspecting Soontir Fel that got caught staring.

Emon Azameen is probably the undisputed troll-bomber of the game. Either the Andrasta title and 3 different bombs, or the Slave-1 for Extra Munitions. Load him up with (only) bombs, and maybe give him Bombadier. You can throw Connor Nets, or Prox mines in people's face all day. He's a lot of fun to fly, but not as much of a competitive choice. His PS is in the goldilocks zone for a bomber, though...

Mandalorian Mercs are your generic, and they're alright. You get PS 5 and an EPT for a base of 35pts. Take these if you don't need a pilot ability, and don't care about higher PS skills, but generally it's best to go for the named.

It's solid. I wouldn't change much. If you get your combo off with Latts (easy to do), then Talonbane will mop thr floor with almost anything. I prefer to keep Latts very bare-bones with just a weapons engineer, but that's just because the Barn is pretty fragile and goes down quick to focused fire.

I still like the Epsilon + Howlrunner list.

The three Int list(s) are pretty standard, and fit nicely in 100pts. Ignore the haters, because it's hated for a reason if you fly it well. It is a total glass-cannon, however, and will crumble spectacularly if you're not careful.

Since it happens in the dice modifying step, I believe it would be in any order. So you could (unless FAQ says otherwise) use Ezra to turn an eyeball into a crit, and then spend the stress as a focus.

Personally I think Chopper or Hera will be the better copilots for Keyan. Hera because with a FCS and Stay On Target, you won't have to care about actions or how many Stress tokens you're carting around. Chopper as an option would just be for those situations where you end up unable to shoot, and this can't shed your stress.

I think Sabine and Nera Dantel will be good friends...

I'm honestly not sure what exactly to recommend since I don't know what the new TIE Fighter is like, what role it fits... Haven't played against one yet and have no intention on buying it. Maybe a Firespray if you're going to pick up the arc-dodger double pack.

The new Pho Tie is pretty flexible, and can be made fairly swarmy or surprisingly lethal. The 6 different named pilots each have wildly different uses, from taking a stress to increase attack dice, to ungodly levels of barrel roll shenanigans, to PS 12 when unharme for dirt cheap, to completely shitting all over one specific ship with just a target lock. The FOs are pretty sleek, and a lot of fun to fly.

It's not a popular ship, and not widely viewed as a competitive one, but don't assume your meta is indicative of its value. Both of it's current aces are mean, but they do require a list built around utilizing them. Vessery innparticular, as you can't just slap him into a Tie swarm, or in with Interceptor aces, and that's why he doesn't get used as much. He does really well with Whisper or Echo if they have FCS, though.

And you will see a lot more Defenders once Veterans comes out. Tie/D title will turn it into the best jouster in the game, with the highest damage to point ratio. And the x7 title is going to make flying them a lot more fun, and give you an evade and point decrease just for going fast.

I think it looks a little too sleek and angular, a little too close to contemporary sci-fi.

This looks like the fuselage for a Star Wars ship missing its wings or engines or something.

Most of the threads I've seen say it's overpriced if you want a generic low-PS version. But I've seen plenty of people make good use of them, and there has been several threads on FFG's forums about how under appreciated the are. Vessery in particular is a lot of fun to fly.

Bottom line if you run one, you run a named and build for it. But with the Veteran pack, all that's about to change. You'll be able to run a 28pt PS 1 generic that gets a free Evade just for taking a speed 3, 4, or 5 maneuver!

I have always felt that KoToR1 is much more of a Star Wars game than KoToR2 to it. Everyone is so fast to say "but m-muh writing and m-muh characters and m-muh grey morality"

Fuck that. I have a fucking blast playing KoToR1, it feels like a pulp adventure story put to game form. The characters are fun and memorable, the locations are vibrant and different from each other, the story was great in its simplicity and reliability and it's just all around a wonderful, fun experience.

KoToR2 is just Avellone's frustation with the setting (and his overcompensation for being a beta) written out through his OC.

I actually like the deconstruction elements, since it actually looks at what all these wars do to the people of the Galaxy. But what I really like is the tone of the game. Everything is shadowy and mysterious, and what happened in the previous game is almost a legend despite happening only a few years previously. Also something everyone seems to forget is that just because there are people like Kreia saying certain things doesn't mean they are right. As the light side Exile (the old canon option) you basically accept that things don't always go right, but you refuse to let that compromise your ideals of compassion, selflessness, and courage in the face of evil. That's what being a Jedi is all about, and as the main character it's your choice whether to embrace that or not.

You know, I hadn't even considered Marksmanship with the D... Interesting. Personally I would recommend against any missiles on the Defender. I find it just doesn't need them, especially when you'll be double-tapping each turn. Also, I would go for an Advanced Cloaking Device over Stealth Device on whisper.

Something like this might work a bit better, but it involves buying the damn Raider. The FO is a good alternative.

The thing is, Star Wars as a setting doesn't fucking hold up under ~grey morality~ and ~moral ambiguity,~ especially not the media everyone is familiar with (movies). Star Wars is a setting that features deliberate, canon, black-and-white space magic. Sith don't maybe have a point in the Star Wars universe - they're evil, full stop, with no "wiggle room." That's why they're depicted as cartoonishly evil in the movies. Star Wars as a franchise is aimed at older kids and young teens. It's sci-fi YA that happens to have really cool practical effects for its time, and hella cool starships.

The thing is, kids who liked the YA shit that Star Wars is, narratively, grew up. And when they did they tried introducing stuff to the setting that it can't really support (Grey Jedi, moral ambiguity, philosophical debates about the merit of emotional detachment as it appears in the Jedi Order, etc.) because they'd been to ~college~ and read ~Nietzsche~ and shit.

KotOR 1 captures what it is to be a Star Wars story, even if Revan is both a good and bad guy, because he isn't those things at the same time. He's a good guy, then stops being a good guy to be a bad guy, and then does whatever you choose to do in KotOR - which, by the way, features choices that are basically pure-"good" or pure-"evil," like most of BioWare's terrible games.

KotOR 2 feels like bad Star Wars fanfiction and is so disgustingly overrated it sets off my sperging.
>>
>>44464261
Armada is pretty good. Imperials have a lot more straight-up firepower, while the rebels tend to be more stand-offfish, with better broadsides on their bigger ships. It's still quite new, and has only just received it's first wave.

>>44464343
Top four however did have a Palpmobile with Vader and Baron Fel. The reason it didn't get farther was because it went up against Heaver, who got a super-lucky long-range shot on Vader with his TLT Stresshog. That shut down Vader in one of the opening moves, and allowed Paul to take him out the following turn. Baron is good, and gave Poe a solid fight, but it was an uphill battle the rest of the game.

Brobots also did well, but went up against the runner up, Nathan. Nathan's mvp ship was a 15pt blocker A-Wing, and near-telepathic knowledge of where that damned thing needed to be.

Good to know, just trying to collect as much info as possible before jumping in. Kinda new to this and have been skeptical since being convinced to invest into another tabletop top that was horribly unbalanced despite being reassured it would be.

But Kreia isn't gray, she's a dark sider. She's using her powers to hide her alignment and manipulate you. All that Nietzche shit? It's Dark side and gives you dark side points. Just because she has a more nuanced view that is more about end goals than KILL EVERYTHING doesn't make her good aligned by any means.

I play both, they are really drastically different. Upgrades play a much bigger role, no ship can get away with being vanilla. The point of the game is damage mitigation, not out right avoiding all damage. You have to plan several turns in advance and fly really deliberately. Missions are built into the rules. Lastly, positioning matters a lot.

Consider the fact Grey Jedi generally refers to Jedi who don't get along with the rest of the Order. Qui-Gon was considered a Grey Jedi by many for his constant disagreements with the Council.

When you get down to it, it's not even Black and White Morality. The Force has a lot of ways of interpretation, but the Dark Side is a constant.

Grey Jedi at this point is pretty much shorthand for "Jedi I don't like." Qui-gon is arguably a Grey Jedi and is generally considered a cool character and definitely a good guy.

That's my point, though.

She's just straight up fucking evil. Star Wars doesn't have room in its morality for ethical quandaries - there is always a Right Thing To Do, and that's just the way it is.

My familiarity with Star Wars is chiefly in video games, miniatures, a few roleplaying tabletops, and (of course) the movies. I'm a diehard fan of the Star Wars cinematic universe. Why I bring this up: "Grey Jedi" means different things to different people, apparently. Qui-Gon telling the council to chew on his balls while he trained Anakin anyway is "grey" in the sense that he's flouting a direct imperative, but Qui-Gon is never depicted as morally ambiguous because he isn't actually morally ambiguous. He's a good guy in the narrative. Nowhere in Episode I does the movie ever try to entertain the idea that Qui-Gon is more "neutral" than "good."

But in Legends/EU material and (god help me) the old SWTOR RP community, people played "grey" Jedi all the time - Jedi who could tap into "both sides" of the Force, or who had super-nuanced philosophical views for Star Wars characters that have much more in common with present-day Earth than a galaxy far, far away. Then they'd produce all of these dumb horseshit precedents of ~morally ambiguous Jedi/Sith~ and you bet your ass Kreia/Traya was brought up every single time.

I fucking love Star Wars, man. But those kinds of characters just don't work in this setting. They're pulp stories. Even the most ~roguish~ of our heroes is a guy whose worst on-screen act is to shoot a guy who was already going to try to kill him. This isn't Sin City.

It's not even that within the narrative of KOTOR 2 she's supposed to be morally ambiguous, it's that even WITHIN that attempt to paint her sympathetically, SHE IS STILL FUCKING EVIL.

-She mindfucks everyone she comes across
-She resurrects not one but TWO villains just so they can continue fucking with the party (one in full view of the party, gotta love that camera angle that shows everyone fifty feet away and facing her while she does it0
-She blows up droids because ????
-She tricks the player into gathering three remaining Jedi Masters just so she can kill them
-She is literally a fucking Sith Lord
-She tries to trick the player with that super Force bond shit so that they won't drop her like a hot rock
-She talks like Baby's First Book on Nietzsche (not that Nietzsche is evil, it's that people who READ Nietzsche tend to come away with the wrong idea)

>>
>>44465008
the way things move and interact are very different
>>
>>44464898
That's my whole point though: the journey of a good character in the game is seeing her present her argument about light and dark and rejecting it because it's not the Right Thing to Do. All her manipulation are evil regardless of how she justifies them in her head, and anyone who thinks her path is the true way of the Force is too trapped in their philosophy 101 class to see her darkness. It's easy to be good in KOTOR 1 because the line is obvious; in KOTOR 2 the line is blurrier but that doesn't mean that good and evil don't exist.
>>
>>44464928
Kylo isn't a confluence of anything as depicted in Episode VII, though. He's the same as every other Jedi/Sith that has swapped sides. There is a Good Guy version of the character and a Bad Guy version of the character and ne'er the two shall meet. Good Guys may angst and Bad Guys may briefly flag in their convictions, but you can't really be both at the same time. Anakin is a Good Guy who becomes a Bad Guy who then re-becomes a Good Guy. Luke is a Good Guy who is briefly tempted by the Bad Guy side, but chooses to remain a Good Guy. Kylo Ren is a Bad Guy who is briefly tempted by the Good Guy side, but chooses to remain a Bad Guy.

This isn't very hard to figure out. Light/Dark Side basically functions like a switch you flip in a person. That's just Star Wars. Kylo has no "light" to contribute to this "confluence" - all he's done is kill his dad, a bunch of civilians, and some computer monitors. There's nothing Light Side about him.

>Movement dials
Nope, no movement dials. Command dials can issue a movement command which improves your maneuverability that turn and gives you the option to change speed, but it is just one of 4 commands you can pick. Another big thing about command dials is the bigger the ship, the more of them you have, and you have to stack them so a medium to big sized ship has to plan 3 turns in advance.
>shot tracking
Most ship battle games do shot tracking. The difference here is all 4 of your arcs can take a shot and depending on what side you're firing from, you have different firing values. Depending on which side of them you're shooting, they have different shields.
>completely dependant on dice rolls
Dice are another thing that's just a part of most minis games. You can't call that a similarity. There are however no defense dice in this game and a lot more ways to rig your own dice to be consistently what you want. I have a 6 ship list where each ship can guaranteed deal out at least 3 damage a turn.

Dice are also kinda cool as you have 3 different dice for 3 different kinds of attacks. Red dice are long range attacks. Lowest chance of hitting and pretty generic. Blue dice are medium and have a result on every side, but no big payoff like a double hit. Black dice which mostly only work super close range but have a lot of double hits.

>>44465143
Kylo is interesting to me because of how he fits into the metanarrative - if we accept the viewing that TFA is a soft-reboot/remake of ANH (which is pretty much fucking is), we wind up with:
- Rey as Luke
- Finn as Han
- Poe as Leia + Wedge
- Hux as Tarkin
- Kylo Ren as Vader
- Han as Obi-Wan
- Chewbacca as Chewbacca
- BB-8 as R2-D2
- Leia as The Old Guy From The Yavin Base

Given that reading, having Kylo Ren being a shitty villain is cool if Episode VIII can somehow follow up on it. Rey is better than 4chan thinks she is but is undoubtedly at least a mild Mary Sue. She just is. I want to see Episodes VIII and IX featuring her either becoming evil so the heroes have to overcome her, or having Kylo Ren undergo the usual hero's journey shit - episode VIII is just him believably training and honing his skills until he can kick Rey's ass in the climactic lightsaber duel.

When you set up a character as "strong" as Rey is and as "weak" as Kylo Ren is, the only interesting direction to take the plot in features the OP character from movie 1 either losing in movie 2 (to re-establish tension if you lost it or raise the stakes) or dying or becoming evil, or something.

If the entire New Trilogy is just Rey kicking everyone's ass, that will be a TREMENDOUS failure, but as of right now I'm giving Kylo Ren and TFA my tentative seal of approval.

Yeah, I know, I'm too much of a SW fanboy. It's true.

The Core Set is only three ships, and it's cheap enough to where people probably won't buy yours unless you undercut crazy-badly. Just get a Core Set (one of each, probably, or if you only want one get TFA) and play the X-Wing and the TIE pair to get a feel for the workhorse ships of a given faction.

Then, if you like having better starfighters at the expense of having more expensive pilots, you'll probably play Rebellion/Resistance. Soontir Fel players can suck my dick, Wedge and Poe are better than him.

If you like playing swarms of guys, try TIEs.

If you want to fuck with Large ships, get a Falcon and/or a Slave I.

If you want to insist that Guri is a good ace, buy Scum and Villainy and lose every game you play to Fat Han/Poe lists and TIE swarms.

TFA doesn't have enough ships/pilots to have only T-70s as your squad, but TFA has the best pilot in the game (Poe). If you are okay with mix-and-matching different generations of ships as long as they're not X-Wings, you could get two T-70s and a B-Wing, or a Y-Wing, or something.

If you want to play just X-Wings, you'll want the original Core Set and the X-Wing expansion at the very least. Luke, Wedge, and R2-D2 in your T-65s is a good starting point. Then get Rebel Aces.

If you want to fly Empire/First Order, get two TFA Core Sets and a TIE/fo expansion, then run a swarm with Omega Leader as your centerpiece.

Star Wars doesn't work that way. He'll either die a bad guy or be redeemed back to the Light (and probably die in the process).

I do think the new trilogy would be interesting even if we just got a "Kylo Ren is redeemed without dying" subplot, just so we can see in movie form a formerly Dark Side character dealing with the ramifications of their actions before they came around.

It essentially is really balanced, and player skill is still the deciding factor in match-ups. More to the point, Empire/First Order has a straight-up hard counter to Poe in Omega Leader, so if you're seeing Poe in too many lists at your local shop, build Omega Leader and kill him.

Everyone complaining about Poe didn't seem to be bitching when Soontir Fel was the unquestioned top-dog Ace, so everyone who's bitching now is probably a shitlord Empire main. Ignore them.

Don't let dumb arguments dissuade your interest. X-Wing is a game that features dice, sure, but like any other such game that includes some elements of random chance (read: most games), the randomness is usually the least important factor.

Check: who's better? They usually win. If the two players are about the same skill, are there any obvious hard counters, like a stressbot to beat aces or an Omega Leader for Poe? The one with the counter usually wins. Are the players the same skill with no obvious counters? Okay, now luck begins to play the major factor in who wins. But the likelihood that both players have similar skill with the same squads is vanishingly slight, so don't worry about it.

Get cool ships and have fun. There's a "what to buy next" in the OP.

Well if everyone plays to the same random rules, it's balanced. It mitigates skill, but it's balanced. In any case, no one will deny there's no random chance in X-Wing. I won't at least. It's just that skill in piloting, metagame in upgrade and ship choice, and general knowledge of the game tends to play a bigger role in the game. There's a reason there is a reigning champ.
>>
>>44465433
It actually is prety balanced. The most extreme cases for "optimal builds" that you have to shell out money for, are Tie Advanced needing the Raider, Interceptors needing/wanting the Imp Aces and Starviper cards. Buttmads like to say the game's pay2win, or lopsided, but it's quite elegantly balanced with subtle adjustments here and there. And it's far, far cheaper than any ccg, or the vast majority of miniature games. And it's nowhere near as infuriating as collectible miniature games. The players who seem to be the most bent out of shape about it, tend to be the ones who take the game way too seriously, or refuse to play anything beyond one faction, and chalk their defeats up to Imperial "ace-wing", Rebel turret or shield regeneration bulshit, or Glittercrack/Brobots. All sides are a blast to play, and most ships have many different ways they can be built.

If anything, the current ships having the biggest issues right now, are:
-M3-A Scyk for scum (too expensive, too brittle)
-T-65 X-Wing (T-70 has a fix, but named pilots are good)
-Tie Advanced (needs $90 purchase of Raider for fix)
-E-Wing (expensive, only Corran Horn is good)
-Starviper (generics are bad, Guri and Xizor have a high learning curve, but are good).
-Tie Defender (high learning curve, fix coming soon)
-Tie Bomber (ordnance is slowly gettinf better, fix coming soon)

Just about every other ship is solid. The thing to remember is that this is a FFG system. They are loathe to redesign an existing kit, and are building the system similar to their living card games. Meaning no "editions", rules are free online, and all previously released products are still valid.

The falcon has internal gravity and inertia cancellers. Explain how he would be flung about. When do we see C-3po flying around in the back of the falcon as it dodges asteroids in empire?

Oh right, comedic effect that trumps every other scene in the series. Lando didn't have to brace himself when he went to the lift as leia was banking in to save luke from the underside of bespin.

>>
>>44465790
>no one will deny there's no random chance in X-Wing

That's exactly what everyone is doing though.
>>
So the more I think about it the less I think we'll see a Black Leader T-70 or a Rey for the YT-1300 anytime soon unless FFG does their first-ever cross-faction expansion. We got cards for minis that weren't in Most Wanted, so that's not without precedent, but the two things we're "missing" from TFA are a paint job for the X-Wing and the Special Forces TIE. The Special Forces TIE might get it's own pack, maybe, but we already have a T-70 pack and Poe is in the Core Set. Unless FFG does a "The Force Awakens Aces" pack or something, we probably won't get Black Leader, the Special Forces TIE, or a Rey for the Falcon.

So you better get to painting those T-70s in your core set orange and black.
>>
>>44465818
No, what everyone is doing is refuting your idiotic claim that random chance is the sole deciding factor in who wins or loses. But then, you're a troll.
>>
>>44465835
It is the sole deciding factor. If all hits were guaranteed, it wouldn't be. But you can maneuver for days and unless you get those hits it doesn't fucking matter.
>>
>>44465818

>>44465803
>inb4 there's no gravity in space
>>
>>44465594
One of each core sets is a good way to go. Or double up on one or the other. The only difference are the ships themselves, the upgrade cards, and the TFA box has a more well-rounded damage deck. The damage deck in the older set is better for generic swarms. It tends to be a bit more brutal against ace pilots, or ships with turrets/cannons.
>>
>>44465848
Those factors at most mitigate the power of the dice. But if 3 shots are countered by 3 evades then it doesn't matter for that round how you maneuvered.

I still like the game, but it is an inherent flaw of simulating pilot actions in the moment with randomized dice rolls.

This isn't the same Falcon that was in the asteroid belt-- this is the one that has been sitting on a desert junkplanet and is described by a character with overt knowledge of mechanics as "garbage".

So you're saying they were killed by the acceleration that took them into space, or when they go into hyperspace? Amazing that she didn't mention that when she noticed everything else that was malfunctioning.

She could have never flown it into the star destroyer because she has no experience flying the thing and it's impossible to judge where the left side of the falcon is without an immense amount of experience.

Try driving a semitruck without mirrors. It's less than a 1/10th as difficult. Not to mention that being so far out on the side of the thing would make any judgements from intuition nearly impossible.

Black T-70 is guaranteed to show up and will more likely be bundled in a Huge ship as opposed to an Aces/Veteran pack. This helps limit the number people will have around in general but also in a single list while also helping to push big fans to buy a Huge ship when they otherwise might not. TIE/sf will be in a similar manner, you'll get the alternate paint job with a Huge ship or Resistance Aces pack, and then it will include the necessary cards to upgrade a TIE/fo into a TIE/sf.

YT-1300 Rey is the only thing that doesn't have a real place without a Most Wanted-style set.

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Mary+Sue

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/MarySue

>The prototypical Mary Sue is an original female character in a fanfic who obviously serves as an idealized version of the author mainly for the purpose of Wish Fulfillment. She's exotically beautiful, often having an unusual hair or eye color, and has a similarly cool and exotic name. She's exceptionally talented in an implausibly wide variety of areas, and may possess skills that are rare or nonexistent in the canon setting. She also lacks any realistic, or at least story-relevant, character flaws — either that or her "flaws" are obviously meant to be endearing.
>She has an unusual and dramatic Back Story. The canon protagonists are all overwhelmed with admiration for her beauty, wit, courage and other virtues, and are quick to adopt her as one of their True Companions, even characters who are usually antisocial and untrusting; if any character doesn't love her, that character gets an extremely unsympathetic portrayal. She has some sort of especially close relationship to the author's favorite canon character — their love interest, illegitimate child, never-before-mentioned sister, etc. Other than that, the canon characters are quickly reduced to awestruck cheerleaders, watching from the sidelines as Mary Sue outstrips them in their areas of expertise and solves problems that have stymied them for the entire series. (See Common Mary Sue Traits for more detail on any of these cliches.)

No, of course not Anon. You just have taste that the vast majority of people would consider poor. Now, I'm not using the "most people think this, therefore it is correct" argument, which is a fallacy, but it is a fact at this point that many people consider those films to be rather poor entries in the series due to weak scripts, acting and all-around lackluster presentation. I personally enjoy several aspects of the three films, but that is solely because of the EU that grew from them. The films, on their own, I consider to be extremely weak, and only served as the staging ground for the aforementioned EU material that I enjoy about them.

Mary Sue is a fucking trope. It started because of the tendency for fanfiction writers to write themselves into a story as wish fulfillment. The name actually comes from a satire-piece in which a character, literally named Mary Sue, is doing everything that bad fanfiction self-insert characters did.

Just because you don't like a character, does not make them a Mary Sue. Do some fucking research, and go loom at the litmus tests that have been around since forever. Because Webster's Online Dictionary doesn't devote enough page-space to the fanfiction phenomenon.
>>
>>44466328
The term "Mary Sue" comes from the name of a character created by Paula Smith in 1973 for her parody story "A Trekkie's Tale"[2]:15 published in her fanzine Menagerie #2.[3] The story starred Lieutenant Mary Sue ("the youngest Lieutenant in the fleet — only fifteen and a half years old"), and satirized unrealistic Star Trek fan fiction.[4] Such characters were generally female adolescents who had romantic liaisons with established canonical adult characters, or in some cases were the younger relatives or protégées of those characters.[citation needed] By 1976 Menagerie's editors stated that they disliked such characters, saying:

Mary Sue stories—the adventures of the youngest and smartest ever person to graduate from the academy and ever get a commission at such a tender age. Usually characterized by unprecedented skill in everything from art to zoology, including karate and arm-wrestling. This character can also be found burrowing her way into the good graces/heart/mind of one of the Big Three [Kirk, Spock, and McCoy], if not all three at once. She saves the day by her wit and ability, and, if we are lucky, has the good grace to die at the end, being grieved by the entire ship.[5]

"Mary Sue" today has changed from its original meaning and now carries a generalized, although not universal, connotation of wish-fulfillment and is commonly associated with self-insertion. True self-insertion is a literal and generally undisguised representation of the author; most characters described as "Mary Sues" are not, though they are often called "proxies"[6] for the author.

>The negative connotation comes from this "wish-fulfillment" implication: the "Mary Sue" is judged as a poorly developed character, too perfect and lacking in realism to be interesting.

No problem, Anon. Take, for example, the book that snippets are being posted from in >>44466258 >>44466082 >>44466027 and >>44466013. A lot of it comes from the PT and it describes lightsaber combat styles, Force training traditions, schools of Jedi thought, and other things. A lot of it is collected material from other, prior EU sources, condensed into this handbook, but it's things like that which I enjoy. Much of the things I like about the Clone Wars era comes not from the movies, but the shows, books and comics set in that era. It's one of the reasons I don't enjoy the recent canon/non-canon split, but I understand why it happened. Ultimately, I will still take all the aspects I enjoy from the EU and incorporate them into any Star Wars-related work that I indulge in.

I think the hate is way overblown. I prefer the originals and watched the originals at around the same time but there are certain things I like a lot.

You're insulting fans of the movie. It doesn't matter what you say. Humans who like things take it personally when you don't like said things.

She's still not ludicrously powerful beyond what's normal for a jedi in the setting. And nobody is instantly falling in love with her.

Besides, if we want to start whining about "Sues", AGAIN, we should probably look into the fact that most fictional characters at this point are one type or another. Including names like Riddick, John Snow, Paul Atreides, Obi-Wan Kenoobi, Bono, any space marine ever, the Emperor of 40k, Mad Max, any Bruce Willis character ever, James Bond (all of them), Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, Superman, Batman, half the cast of Friends (no, the other half), and your mom.

So, how powerful should a Super Battle Droid's weapon be, in FFG?

Obviously being a primary battle weapon, it should be more powerful than say, the existing cybernetic weapon arm or any of the weapons you can actually wrist mount, but at the same time, are they as strong as say, a Droideka's built-in heavy blasters? Would they still use Ranged (Heavy) or Ranged (Light)?

I could have fucking sworn that the actual name Mary Sue comes from a woman in early American history who wrote stories with characters, at least one of whom was named Mary Sue, who went on to be attributed as such due to their lack of negative traits, and later were recognized as such and the literary term of Mary Sue came about because of its prominant use to describe such characters.

I read it somewhere and am trying to find it.

>>
>>44466684

>how come post-ROTJ EU tend to be wildly polarizing

Good question. If I had to guess...

I would say that it's because it's unknown territory. The PT-EU had a place to go, a direction, which was the OT, so they knew what they could and could not do (anything that would directly interfere with the OT). So the Clone Wars-era EU had reliable grounding, a sense of what was to come and what was meant to be. This allowed them to make new material that reinforced things that would happen later, or introduce backstories for characters who showed up in the OT to tie them into the PT.

Post-ROTJ, however, had no films to provide concrete ground to move forward into. They could only go forward and make it up as they went along. I think this is why it is rather polarizing and where a lot of the biggest, most hated things from the EU comes from, but also the most loved and fondly remembered, because when it was good it was great, but when it wasn't it was often bad.

>She has no training

Yeah, and ANH Luke and TPM Anakin have jackshit training. They do pretty well piloting and Luke is good enough with the force to know when to make a "one in a million" shot without computer assistance.

>yet she's just somehow better than him at everything for no reason.

Actually, this is pretty clearly the point. Ren, by all accounts, should be really powerful and good, and while he has positive qualities, to both himself and the audience he isn't everything he wants to be.

Rey, on the other hand, is to herself and the audience a nobody who shouldn't necessarily be good beyond just living a tough life - but clearly there's something more to her. Even Ren says to his boss that she's strong but has no idea what the fuck she's doing. And then he keeps helping her figure out her shit because he's a babby who doesn't know how this works.
>>
>>44466588
Obi-wan spent his entire life training in the Jedi Temple. Luke struggled to do basic things like pulling his lightsaber out of the snow despite a couple years trying to train himself after some limited guidance by Ben.

Rey has never flown a spaceship? Instantly doing tricks in the Falcon without a co-pilot.

Rey has never picked up a blaster? Instantly getting headshots on her first try.

Rey has never used the Force? Instantly able to mind trick, which took Luke years to learn.

Rey has never picked up a lightsaber? Instantly good enough to beat Kylo even after being thrown into a tree so hard she fell unconscious.

To top it off, Finn falls in love with her and Han treats her like a long lost daughter as soon as they meet.

Now, being a good staff fighter I can see. Jakku looks like a rough place. But that doesn't translate to being a swordsman. Being some type of mechanic, sure, that's how she gets by. But she somehow knows the Falcon better than Han.

All of that together is just way too much for one character with no training. Maybe the twist will be she was trained and mindwiped, but in the meantime an unstoppable protagonist makes for a fucking boring movie.

The only thing we have to assess her jedi power from, is trying (and failing at first) to mind-suggest a stormtrooper, and out force-pulling Ren. Then she beat up an angsty emo-kid, who was already bleeding out and could barely handle a scrub ex-stormtrooper with a lightsaber.

She's no Kenobi, or even remotely close to Luke in Jedi.

Yes, she has, she clearly states as much.

She forgot to turn off the safety.

After fucking it up twice, yeah.

Who had been shot with a bowcaster, a weapon that had been demonstrated to send people flying several feet backwards and flipping, also he's actually a total pussy that the Light Side won't let go of so it speaks more about him than about her.
>Finn falls in love with her and Han treats her like a long lost daughter as soon as they meet.
Because she's the first nice person to meet him who is also a female, and Han knows about her secret backstory that will be revealed in the next film and is also apparent to anyone who watches the movie without an agenda in mind, much like yourself.

Luke did literally nothing Jedi-like in ANH except let the Force guide him to make the trench run, and he needed Obi-wan's help for that. He specifically says the X-Wing is similar to his T-16 he flew back home, so it's not like he hoped in and started doing tricks.

TPM Anakin has good enough reflexes to podrace and guess some pictures on Windu's mirror, then gets in a spaceship and bumbles his way to success with no idea what he's doing.

She is a quick learner, a fascinatingly quick learner. She reminds me of the Exile's powerset in KotOR2.

She gets mindprobed by Darth bitchfit and uses tot experience to perform a mindtrick of her own.

She got tossed by Darth bitchfit and managed to leech off his force-pull on the saber to boost it past him to her.

Despite rejecting his offer to teach her she learned a LOT from Ren.

Literally the first non First Order female humanoid he has probably interacted with in his entire life.

And staff fighting translates to sword fighting, any kind of fighting training is hugely helpful for most weapons.

>Rey has never used the Force?

There is a difference between /knowingly/ using the Force and using the Force. If you have the ability to use it, you're using it, even if you have no idea it's there.

Luke grew up with Owen Lars doing his best to convince him he's just a muggle.
Rey's (known) growing up was her on her own fighting to survive.
When your space magic depends on your willpower, upbringing makes a heck of a difference.

Man, if people were like this when ANH came out Star Wars would have never gotten big. No fun fucks these days I swear.

>Rey has never flown a spaceship? Instantly doing tricks in the Falcon without a co-pilot.

Rey's specifically never known the Falcon - I think during her babble with Finn about how cool that was she just mentions she's never flown off-planet before. And she does like, two tricks.

>Rey has never picked up a blaster? Instantly getting headshots on her first try.

She misses as many as she hits, and she forgets to turn off the safety.

>Rey has never used the Force? Instantly able to mind trick, which took Luke years to learn.

It takes her multiple tries. How often do we see people actually struggling with Force power use? I think it was actually cool it took her a few goes before it worked.

>Rey has never picked up a lightsaber? Instantly good enough to beat Kylo even after being thrown into a tree so hard she fell unconscious.

She only starts to actually win after she starts to properly draw on the Force, and at this point this is the end of Kylo's second fight in a row while injured.

>To top it off, Finn falls in love

Finn's a shut in who's never had anybody treat him like a person before. It's why he latches on to Poe to.

>But she somehow knows the Falcon better than Han.

Because Han hasn't had the Falcon in years. Rey at least seems to have poked around in it since it was stolen and seen the parts that are in it.

You act as if life on Tatooine is a cake walk. Sure, Luke has food and shelter but Tatooine is fucking harsh. Besides, Owen never tried to suppress his powers, he just never told Luke who his father really was.

>muh agenda
When does she say she's flown a freighter before?

Why does forgetting to turn of the safety make her accuracy less impressive?

Why does two failed attempts in a matter of minutes match years of training in an advanced spiritual technique?

Why is a trained swordsman bested by a complete novice if both were injured?

And I suppose handgun training makes you an elite sniper, too, right?

Yeah, guess that means she doesn't need training for advanced powers unlike every other Jedi, you're right.

Yeah, I guess that make sense.
But what about the Old Republic era?
I mean it has the restriction of PT EU but the vagueness of post-ROTJ, but I don't know since I have yet to touch those those stuff.
I didn't even know what happened during the whole TOR debacle, I avoided anything MMO related at the time

>>44466779
Finn is clearly in love with Poe.

She still wasn't as good as Han or Lando at the helm of the Falcon.

Ren is a shit lightsaber duelist, we've all been over this.

She got a headshot on a stormtrooper. Ok... So what? It's a fucking stormtrooper! That's like saying she threw a rock, hit a redshirt in the chest, and he died.

It seems like the posters trying to push some notion that Rey's a Sue, are the same basement dwellers trying to kick up racist shit about Finn, and are just reaching for something more to bitch about.

The real Sue of TFA, is Poe. That fucker is too impossibly good at flying, blew up a Starkiller without a torpedo, has half the cast and fanbase in love with him, can fly a Tie like an ace with no training, somehow teleports across the galaxy to end u back with the Reaistance, is Leia's pool-boy, and he won Worlds!

Fuck that! Poe's a Marty Stue!

>>44466959
At least it'll die soon and we'll be able to start fresh in the new one. Until that one tanks too.

Honestly, I have no idea why a bunch of the pre-Prequel stuff ended up really good. The comics in particular are phenomenal.

If that's all it takes how come people spend all their life in the temple training? Why don't they just try it a few times then skip class?

Poe is too pretty and too sassy to hate.

>>44466955
>Yeah, guess that means she doesn't need training for advanced powers unlike every other Jedi, you're right.

This may surprise you, but you don't /have/ to be trained to do neat shit with the force. Part of why the Jedi keep an eye out for sensitives is so they can teach them to not use the force in badwrong ways.
>>
>>44466964

The Old Republic still had a direction to go towards, but it's a bit of the inverse of Post-ROTJ, in that they set their stories too far back that it creates a different series of inconsistencies---Honestly, I think the further away you get from the six films, both forwards and backwards, you end up with very polarizing material.
>>
>>44466955
I suggest you go educate yourself.

Historical fighting masters often started with the two handed sword or the spear/staff because the basic concepts would translate to other weapons they taught. Likewise using a one handed sword is very similar in many ways to using an axe.

And the concepts of timing, balance and footwork can translate almost universally.

Its not like a videogame or an RPG where learning how to use one weapon leaves you no better than a complete novice with others. And someone who is trained with a pistol is going to be a far better shot with a rifle than someone who has never fired any gun yes.

But does it make you better than someone trained in the use of a rifle?
>>
>>44466931
I think it's just trolls. Probably from /b/. Or probably the same one or two shitposters trying to drum up racist bullshit.
>>
>>44467062
It would make you potentially a better shot than a guy who is poorly trained, was an emotional wreck, got shot in the gut by a rifle earlier and was just hit in the shoulder with a sword.
>>
>>44466955
Why are you so desperately reaching?

Just admit that you don't like the character. It's ok. You don't have to. But why are you so desperately trying to project your dislike for the character onto other people?

I don't like 40k, or space marines. But I'm not an insufferable shit who goes into their threads and attempts to bludgeon everyone there about how they're bad people and that they should feel bad.
>>
>>44466992

>If that's all it takes how come people spend all their life in the temple training? Why don't they just try it a few times then skip class?

That's not the same thing. Rey, who at this point is explicitly said to be powerful but not well skilled, manages to pick up one technique after a couple of tries. The Jedi Temple is a full battery of basic abilities, some of which she has yet to demonstrate (using a lightsaber to block bullets, jumping, other stuff you see background scrub jedi doing) and also I'm sure comes with a whole load of philosophical and other background training to.

Even Luke moves up to moving small objects in ESB prior to training with Yoda, and he doesn't even have close contact with another Force user being like "Hey, I wonder if I can do that?".
>>

Being too pretty is Sue!

Have you guys ever used the "brace" talent from FFG's EotE/AoE books? Could someone use it to remove a setback dice from an enemy's cover? It's so vague (there not being any examples doesn't help) that I'm not really sure how to handle it.

Isn't aiming a better maneuver?

So, I'm showing X-Wing to my brother, and he's shown interest in playing Imperial, particularly because he can outnumber me. What's a decent, beginner friendly list I can proxy up for him?
