>>50155657
atleast it looks modular enough so can could probably switch around the orientation

or go the true imperial route and just have double sets of station on the station action

>>50155707
That could work But it would be better to have them separate, just two of them bottom to bottom so they get optimal coverage with their guns.

(Though twelve heavy laser cannon turrets and 6 double turbos may seem a little low, they do pack 60 fighters in the ground configuration, doubled for 120 and probably an extra squad each since they hold fewer ground forces since they're such a pain to deploy. (Or maybe not since they NEED to have ships to deploy the ground forces down from orbit.)

I'm thinking about running a Force and Destiny game for my friends because our Edge of the Empire GM bailed. I have a premade book I can run from for a few sessions, but does this game really work that well with making your own campaign or should I just pick up campaign supplements and run that with some twists?

With the advent of the Rebel Tie fighter, it looks like my Crack Swarm is going to need to throw in some PS 9+ ships to stay relevant. What do you guys think I should add?

I can go with

- Stele with VI and MK2, Howlrunner and 3 black cracks

- Super Vader with a missile/Whisper and 3 omega cracks with WG

What do you guys think? I figure adding an ace would also help my late-game capability as well.

Real Shame vader can't take autothrusters.

I've thought about it, not gonna lie.
But it mostly involves me flying alone in a HWK-290 just fucking off into space by myself with the copilot seat covered in rations and cheap porn rags, the laser turret beneath my feet itching to be shot into space. But I couldn't give less of a shit. I'm so comfy in my pilot chair.
the cockpit smells of nothing but sweat and old ration wrappers. there's so many tiny cockroachesso many

>>50155828
I don't think rebel tie is going to be that much of problem in that you can just shot the rest of the ships.
The bigger problem it represents is EMP and potentially a bomb against your swarm.

That EMP does little Ion Torps didn't already do. It will just piss me off to no-end to have a blocker constantly in my face that I can't make into mincemeat.

my 5-omega cracks will likely be still viable, but I'm not sure tie swarms are still that good, since none made top 16 in worlds.

If the rebel TIE has enough PS to not be shot, it's going after your swarm, so it's not blocking.

The EMP does things that the Ion Toro doesn't.
It's got better positioning, and doesn't require a roll. And came be shot before it goes off.
No target lock, no firing arc. Just a ship you can't attack with a barrel roll.

The bomb means you can't bring you swarm with range one of where the rebel TIE starts the turn.

>>50156144
>If the rebel TIE has enough PS to not be shot, it's going after your swarm, so it's not blocking.

The Captured Tie mod says that it gets discarded if you shoot. Ashoka will be trying to block/disrupt the swarm is what I am concerned about.

>>50156265
Nope. Just had a shit ton of bricks dropped on him during the session all at once. Apparently he was destined to become a Sith Lord according to the Jedi, so they exiled him from his Jedi mother to prevent him from being a Sith. So now he has a seething hatred of the Jedi for having ruined his life and just murdered someone with a lightsaber he found.

It's a bit of a self fulfilling prophecy.

is cyber tech worth a dip from a fighty career or is it more useful to just start as a tech and out-class into fighty specs?

yes, and am currently forum roleplaying. I haven't found a game. I blame that but don't really believe it.

The Millennium Falcon’s velocity, many times greater than that of light, was limited only by the density of the interstellar medium she traversed. Ordinary space is mostly emptiness, yet there are almost always a few stray molecules of gas, sometimes in surprisingly complex chemical organization, per cubic kilometer. Any modern starship’s magnetogravitic shielding kept it from burning to an incandescent cinder and smoothed the way through what amounted to a galaxy-wide cluttering of hyperthin atmosphere. But the resistance of the gas was still appreciable through a reduction in the ship’s theoretical top speed.

Old pre WEG EU everybody. Fun little tidbits on hyperdrive ideas.

because they kmow we want it so theyre dragging it out knowing they'll get more people seeing their other upcoming stuff

I think it's past time we re-evaluated the PT. It is easy to blindly quote Plinkett and reduce film criticism to a man with a funny voice, but let's try and think.

Firstly, realise the OT was never actually good in the way you think. It is a GREAT Hero's Journey, a rags to riches story, a power fantasy. But it's nothing more. Black and white morality was fine back in the 70s, and it's fine for children, but its day is done.

Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead - gripping, bingeable TV dramas that captivate audiences with grey morality. They show what genre can be.

The PT was the forerunner of these complex, compelling dramas but it came at a time audiences weren't ready. Think about it - it's a dense, political tale of trade alliances and backroom dealings. It doesn't JUST offer whizz bang action - but when it does, it sure as hell delivers, with eye popping duels and madcap set pieces - it shows you the how and why.

And that's the thing - it's not a power fantasy, it's a Sophoclean modern mythology of the "chosen one" tempted and falling into a tragic fate. Luke rises and rises in the OT. Anakin slides into evil and it fits like a glove - the glove of Darth Vader.

>>50158818
I liked the idea of the PT fine, my problems with it lies with the execution. Also, if you don't think the PT has black and white morality I disagree with you.

>>50158842
>Also, if you don't think the PT has black and white morality I disagree with you.

Let's go back to the most famous quotes from the PT: "From my point of view, the Jedi are evil" and "I have the high ground".

Tragedy comes when the individual can't adhere to the rules of the polis, a Greek concept meaning "city" but connoting order and law. Anakin is an Antigone figure, questioning the rules of the Jedi polis - yet in true Grecian style he fails.

But what does this mean? It would be easy to see it as acceptance the Jedi were right all along. The truth is more nuanced. Neither was right. Order was stagnation, but rebellion for selfish ends was no true rebellion.

>>50158842
while the PT could have been done better theyre still good movies.
Not as good as OT. But i meber understold the hate they got and it often seemed a "look how cool i am" nerd trend.

but maybe my experience as someone young enough that episode 1 is one of the "old movies" to me has warped my view.

>>50158878
Bu there's never any question about who's supposed to be Good and Evil. Sure, Evil characters claim not to be, but the narrative makes it very clear who we're supposing to be rooting for. And Anakin gets a very specific point at which he goes from being Good to Evil. There really isn't any moral ambiguity.
Note that this is not critisism. Every story does not need to me a morally complex one, and the OT most certainly wasn't.

>>50158880
I don't know, I was seven when EP I came out. I didn't dislike it, but I can honestly say that I never liked Jar-jar and always preferred the OT.

Is Rebels a must watch for people interested in SW?

The reason they're famous is because they're awkward lines delivered awkwardly. You can't that a black and white morality is out of place in modern times and then put such stiff, flash gordon-esque dialogue in the movie.

I disagree on the Prequels being perfect. They would've been, if they were executed well. The politics didn't make sense, the portrayal of all characters was weird and shifty. If they just COMPLETELY subverted expectations and went for blind Jedi Order that was Knights Templar afraid to lose their power to a stronger Republic-turning-Imperial government, that'd have been great, but in the movie they're kinda stuck inbetween that portrayal and still trying to make them clear cut good guys. If they portrayed the shades of grey more, alongside with a better overall script. I'd love the Prequels if it was more like you described it.

But yes, I agree. Star Wars should stop with the infantile good vs evil worldview and start embracing more grey areas, within both Jedi and Sith. Rebels and Empire. If Star Wars wants to stick to a modern audience, it NEEDS to advance to the future. The EU did that surprisingly well. I endorse something like the Yuuzhan Vong. Note - something like them - not EXACTLY like the Vong. Maybe an anti-Force faction that's made out of regular Joes that target both Light and Dark siders. Maybe a government that 'doesn't discriminate' and follow a specific Force religion and instead enforces only its own government-ran Force User Corps like the Fel Empire.

Anything but a sorry to quote /tv/, glib facsimile, of the Original Trilogy. The OT worked well for its time, but its time to move on. And in a good way, not throwing in minority blacks and women B-list actors that can't act for shit and just recoloring the Empire and Rebellion because of epic nostalgia goggles.

Not all Sith have to be clear cut psychopathic assholes. I'd like to see more Sheev-style Sith but on a lesser scale. Some dude that just wants to climb the ladder of the Galaxy and use his powers to advance himself as Senator or corporate leader or some such.

And on the opposite side a Jedi that crusades on everything that he sees as 'Dark Sided'.

The EU shows both of these examples, they also showed honourable Imperial officers, corrupt Rebellion officials and so on, so forth. I'd just like to see this in the movies as well, rather than nostalgia rehashes.

>>50162459
>Not all Sith have to be clear cut psychopathic assholes

Only that's rather what the dark side is. You give in to your fear, your anger, your hatred. You wallow in it, embrace it, making it both your motivation and your method.

That doesn't make for a sane, stable or in any way nice person.

A honourable Imperial officer, sure, it's a job, and plenty of them probably joined up back in the Republican days. Corrupt rebels, easy, chaos and anarchy is always Christmas for the corruptible.

But with Sith one of their major, defining features is in how they work with their mind and emotions, and the way they do that is specifically to let the bad shit run the show.

>>50162569
It's what the Dark Side (and by extension, the Force) is according to some people that badly interpreted Lucas.

>>50162665
No, this has been pretty consistent part of the canon.
It's one of the big parallels I see with Dresden Files. There is moral grey, complex character motivations, even one of the most evil characters gets a moment of human empathy.
But breaking the laws of magic turns you into a monster, unless you have the one artifact that counteracts this .

The dark side works like that, each time you tap into it your mind gets twisted.

>>50162855
Not the case in Legends, which is my case. There you have SWTOR Sith that are reasonable, a Prequel era Sith that is moderate and so on, so forth. I disagree on the Dark Side = cancer thing and prefer the Legends interpretation is what I'm saying.

>>50162927
It's literally called the DARK side.

>>50162927

The dark side is cancer, reasonable sith are the ones smart enough to not jump headfirst into the cancerpool. They still use it, mind you, but they don't rely on it as a crutch until it erodes them to the point they can't not use it.

>>50162927
>The Old Republic
personally, I see this as more deviating from the canon than the legend examples that have the Dark Side turning people more and more evil.

They can be reasonable, they can still be people with more complex motivations, but that doesn't mean that tapping into the dark side isn't twisting them into something more evil.

>>50162459
>>50162569
>>50163003

It would not suprise me in the least if during the rule of two there weren't more than a couple of Sith in the chain who were really Sith in Name only, caretaking the old artifacts, reading the texts and so on but not really a true beleiver in the cause. It'd just be a weird hokey family religion that Uncle Dave passed on to you and one day you'll pass it on to some kid.

Or people who use the texts to try and experiment with that side of the force simply for the sake of seeing what you can do with this stuff, but otherwise keeping their heads down and not really doing anything more but paying lipservice to the whole "Death to the Jedi" thing. Hence people like Darth Plagieus doing ressurection techniques and the like.

It's only when you get a real true beleiver like Palps who actually buys into all of that Sith Vs Jedi stuff, and who really beleives in that whole "kill your master to become the next master" thing that the Jedi actually end up encountering a Sith.

In Sheevs case, not just a Sith, but a Sith with over a 1000 years of darkside experimentation techniques backing him up and the cunning and intelligence to use them.

>>50162665
>that badly interpreted Lucas.
>>50162927
>Legends

If you're the same anon then your goalposts are shifting quite a bit. As nice as complex motivations and (well executed) moral relativity are in fiction, we're talking about Star Wars here. At its core, a naive farmboy saved the princess from the black knight by enlisting the rogue with a heart of gold. Blah blah blah Flash Gordon pulp blah blah. saying that there have been interesting additions to the franchise by EU writers is one thing but claiming that Lucas' romanticised samurai flick Buddhism has been misinterpreted by people who don't agree with said EU writers is quite another.

>>50163273
That's something I'd like and is overall seen. Darth Vectivus who was a Rule of Two Sith just stuck to his mining business and experimented with making Force Phantoms as defensive creatures.

>>50163034
>>50163003
>>50163001
>>50163342
Yeah that's what I disagree with. I don't think someone can be wholly evil or wholly good. Certainly not in real life, and characters like that in fiction are cardboard cutouts. Even ol' Sheev had more motivations than just camp evil.

Also at its core, sure, but I think Star Wars needs to evolve past that. Star Trek stopped being about naive peaceful exploration long ago, and I don't mean the JJ-shit, I mean good shit like Deep Space Nine and so on.

>>50163375

Wasn't Palpatine's ambition pretty much just to live forever and rule the galaxy eternally as the one Sith, with a gaggle of highly-replaceable cronies to do his dirty work?

>>50163375
>Even ol' Sheev had more motivations than just camp evil.
No, not really, the vast majority of sources make it abundantly clear that he's in it for power and power only. Every source that says otherwise completely misses the point of the character and his motivations.

>>50163375
One: yes people totally can be completely evil.
The vast majority of people we think of as evil aren't, but there are monster in human skin. Psychopaths, literal psychopaths, they are the exception, and they don't think like people, but their full evil.

B) The vast majority of people not being fully evil doesn't conflict with the dark side being a force that twists you to evil acts.
It makes you worse, that isn't the same as saying it removes any possible hint of goodness.

Deep Space Nine still had monsters, it still had clear good and evil guys. I'd like to pretend the Pah Raith didn't happen too, but they did.

>>50163472
>The vast majority of people we think of as evil aren't, but there are monster in human skin. Psychopaths, literal psychopaths, they are the exception, and they don't think like people, but their full evil.
If its the recent, modern definition of 'psychopath' then that's just ambitious people that don't give a shit whose toes they step on so they can advance themselves. They're selfish and uncaring, but it (usually) doesn't make them genocidal maniacs. In fact, those selfish are LESS likely to rock the boat as long as they keep their lot.

>It makes you worse, that isn't the same as saying it removes any possible hint of goodness.
I agree, Dark Siders wouldn't be angels. They'd still be assholes as stated above on the psychopaths. I'm just saying not every Dark Sider should be the eternal villain to take down and have the sole goal of wiping out the Jedi.

>>50163548
That's sociopaths.
I know the terms get changed a lot, I mean the serial torture and kill types, not the emotional dead ones.

>>50163581
Yeah, sorry. Mixed them up myself. Anyway, I don't think I made what I said clear. I don't think that Sith should be whitewashed into good guys or even grey. A wide variety of them are dicks. I just think there should be OTHER kinds of Sith/Dark Siders shown in wide Star Wars media. More sociopaths in suits (or whatever the SW equivalent is) and less psychopaths in bath robes. Think of Thrawn, who isn't a wholly good guy as some people make him out to be, but as a Dark Sider.

>>50163375
>I don't think someone can be wholly evil or wholly good
And at their core they're not. Anakin wanted to save Padme, Luke was desperate to protect his sister when he was on the verge, they weren't the problem. The dark side of the force was the problem. It was born from their fear and their instability. It grows from more instability and as such it encourages more instability. This being based on old samurai flicks, heroes were expected the endure hardship and accept that which they were afraid of with stoicism. Those who manipulated the force (the natural order of things) to impose their will upon the world (and the path that the force had set for it, destiny and all) were upsetting the natural order. As a general rule mucking about with the natural order is frowned upon. This may sit poorly with many humanist ideals, particularly the part in which suffering is just something that good people have to deal with, but it's something Lucas was a fan of when he was a kid and he put it in his new movie when he finally got a studio to listen to him.

By the end of his arc Vader isn't a man. His affection for his son is drowned out by his own inhumanity, the Dark side has rendered him numb to what should be his driving force and he's reserved to just being a hollow monster. Luke brings him back by appealing to that tiny spark of smothered humanity within him. Vader returns to the light side of the force, a state of balance in which he accepts the will of the force. This not only makes him human again, it sets him so in sync with the universe that he straight up gets to defy death itself by manifesting as a force ghost. (This actually used to be a big deal and filled in for nirvana, back before every sith lord and their dog was doing it because of power creep and writers copying Dark Empire)

Yes, it's dumb and arbitrary but again, Star Wars. It also hopelessly clashes with a shitload of the EU but that's what happens when you let dozens of writers loose at once.

One friend plays a Bothan, other plays a Kel-Dor, another plays a Milrilan and I play a Human.

My Imperial remnant campaign: We've got a Ubese (counts-as human so long as they have at least a nose-hole breather in), a Zeltron mando with focus on the obsessive side Zeltrons have shown, a human Royal guard and an Unknown imperial woman talking over comms that SOUNDS core human.

We also had a female human bounty hunter but they're on hiatus.

In the party before this that fell through a cyborg project by Zsinj's mad scientists that looked human (Counts-as-Gank with tons of augments looks sorta like Glory from the Shadowrun vidya but more streamlined), the same mysterious radio voice, and a human force user.

Yes, but not in this genre. I'm actually a much better descriptive writer now thanks to years of GMing chat games online and better at churning through long writing due to college and grad school.

I'm very, very strongly considering working on a long form Mass Effect fic starring two C-Sec detectives that takes place over the length of the original trilogy. I've been replaying it lately and kind of getting excited for the universe again. Spoilered because obviously not Star Wars relevant

File: Kwerve_skull.jpg (45KB, 269x179px) Image search: [Google]

Luke, did I ever tell you about Bidlo Kwerve? He was a Corellian pirate and smuggler who served Jabba Desilijic Tiure (also known simply as Jabba the Hutt). A tall, grizzled man with scarred features and a mane of black hair, he was known for his greediness and hot temper, and was quick to respond to any perceived insults. Kwerve and a Twi'lek named Bib Fortuna competed to become Jabba's new majordomo after the Hutt deemed his previous retainer, Naroon Cuthus, too old and incapable of carrying out his duties. Kwerve and Fortuna hated each other with a passion and went to great lengths to prove themselves in Jabba's eyes, though Jabba considered each as incompetent as the other. Kwerve disliked Jabba's top pilot, Han Solo, and the two often clashed, both in words and with blasters. Around two years ago, he considered leaving Jabba's employ because of the continual menial tasks that were being asked of him, and though Fortuna encouraged him to quit, he never did. Shortly before now, Kwerve discovered a crashed ship in the Tatooinian desert, with a live rancor inside it. Hoping to present the beast to Jabba for his birthday, he begrudgingly sought the aid of Fortuna to help him transport it to Jabba's Palace. Jabba was impressed with the initiative shown by his two top lieutenants and offered to make one of them his new majordomo; the other would be given the "greater honor," though Jabba did not specify what this was. Ever greedy, Kwerve accepted the "greater honor"—he became the rancor's first victim and was devoured in a pit below Jabba's court.

Anyway, I only bring this up because in about four years you're going to pick up his skull and throw it at a panel to drop a massive door down on that very same rancor. He'll get his revenge on the rancor, from a certain point of view.

And he was a good friend.

By the way, this is canon again.

Why does Miranda have LRS and Chopper? The K-Wing dial doesn't have reds on it, and while I guess LRS might seem to work with a run-away TLT build it's not that great and you're going to find a lot of things in your Range 2 band.

No points cost so you might as well in case of stress tokens being applied

I hope the U-Wing is good.

I'm bouncing around an idea for Norra+Ahsoka list, so Norra doesn't have to use PTL to Focus+TL, and I can save a TL for after repositioning, but that leaves me with a whole ship's worth of points in the list - I'm hoping a tough U-Wing build might go well with that.

>>50168151
>I'm bouncing around an idea for Norra+Ahsoka list, so Norra doesn't have to use PTL to Focus+T

Just give her Rey if you don't want to use PTL. Spend a couple of turns building up the bank and then get stuck in. No need to create a combo with more than one moving part like you would with Ahsoka or Kyle Katarn or Garvin or Airen Cracken or anybody with Squad Leader and a higher PS or a support ship with Jyn Erso or Dutch or Shera Bey or Esege Timbuktu or Ezra (crew) and Opportunist or Expose+Exp.Interface or PTL.

...wow Rebels have a LOT of ways of giving Nora a way of cheating her combo.

I really want Predator, so I'm not sure what to take to complement it.

>Norba Nuum was the daughter of Cabrool Nuum and the sister of Rusk Nuum. Although she seemed to be quiet and reserved alongside her brother, Norba was in fact the most ambitious of Cabrool's children. When Rusk had Jabba Desilijic Tiure locked in the dungeon for refusing to kill family enemy Vu Chusker, Norba freed him on the condition that he kill her brother for her, thereby making her the sole heir to the Nuum family's criminal empire. However after Jabba killed Rusk, Norba betrayed him, ordering her guards to take Jabba back to the dungeon for murdering her brother.

>Later, Norba came down to Jabba's cell and offered to set him free if he promised to kill Vu Chusker, even showing him the key that would unlock the door of the cell. Sick and tired of this back and forth business, Jabba told Norba he would whisper his answer to her. When Norba leaned in close to listen, Jabba's tongue snaked out and grabbed Norba, pulling her through the window in the cell door and into his mouth. He proceeded to eat her alive, and she was powerless to do anything to stop him. After a valiant but brief struggle, Norba vanished into Jabba's maw, her quest for power and riches never to be fulfilled. In her final moments as her mouth filled with Jabba's slime and her nose with the stench of Jabba's rancid breath, she dropped the key right into Jabba's hand, allowing the Hutt to escape the dungeon. She was the last of the Nuum House to be killed, after her father and brother.

Quick XWM question. Does Trick Shot combo with Dash Rendar (crew) or does he cancel Trick Shot out?

It combos with anything with that effects an Attack header; Wedge Antilles, R3-A2, Crack Shot, etc.

>>50176199
As far as I can tell he cancels it out. Dash explicitly says that your shots cannot be obstructed, so clearly you can't gain a bonus die from your attacks being obstructed.

For anyone who cares, im the anon who had a problem with my rebel players turning into space isil feom a thread or two ago. We had another meet and i think i have them beginning to change. Im going to try to type it out, but its going okay.

>The problem for those who dont know.
By downfall of the empire, my players took the role of pyromaniacal demolitionmen in charge of the wreckingball. They have killed a lot of imperial citizens, most of which have been military targets, and the rest having the misfortune of being in the blast radius of the latter. They are very impressed with luke skywalker for singlehandedly destroying the deathstar and claiming the lives of so many imps.
>but anon, why are you letting them be murderhobos in space?
Well, its complicated. Their rebel cell has close connections with a (more) disgruntled blacksun vigo, and several rather pissed former slave groups. The inside of the rebel cell isnt exactly law centric. Also this isnt murderhoboing how you think it is. They are crafty, this is some fucking well planned murder master guerilla warfare. They are some form of partisan in their eyes.
>but civilian caaualties doesnt sound like it fits with a rebellion battleplan.
I agree, but much like any nonmilitary on the deathstar, the civilians the players have killed were all just unlucky to be close to the target, which have all been military. The big problem is their lack of remorse about it. They dont care that civs are dying, they are just a sick added bonus.
>alright so what did you do about it? did you take out advice?
Yes and no. They continued ops normal, but i changed their role. I agreed with those here that said that allowing them to come face to face with the less than evil empire, or the less than noble rebellion would temper them. I agree with that and i formed a plan. Ill storytime it in a 2nd post.

>>50176580

The Shadow Caster is incredibly dangerous.

By which I obviously mean Asajj Ventriss is incredibly dangerous, with a wide range of obvious Crew inclusions, Letts makes her Fel tier tanky, Tactician allows for double stress buggery and K4 means that you can reliably go TL-Focus and Evade every turn because the Shadow Casters dial is crazy good.

No. It just means those worlds exist (and its actually kind of dubious if they do in actual canon as FFG's stuff is in a weird sort of quasi-canon-meets-Legends realm of its own).

The reintroduction of a species, planet, or technology from Legends into canon does not automatically mean that everything they appeared in is canon again - the only canon that exists is what is directly referenced in NuCanon material.

>singing wall fish

FFG material isn't canon, but LFL approves of everything they put into print. This means LFL isn't opposed to those ideas, but same as all the content still in Legends they won't commit to any specifics until it appears in the new canon.

This is why they probably bridge the gap so often, the content and ideas is all approved by LFL - but LFL story group isn't gonna be held down by some stuff said in an RPG book either, FFG basically gets to unify elements LF isn't really opposed to.

2 Kappa's would be ok for about 2 platoons- don't forget you've got officers, NCO's and support staff with each platoon (armourers, cooky, medical and mechanics) which would pretty well fill out 40 passengers if they're a platoon of 25-30 soldiers.

A Sentinel I don't really see for a static, defence installation as they're not so much a service shuttle and something they'd pop out for an assault team that needs to go in somewhere hot, kind of like a Chinook that has extra armour and can take a few hits. Course if the Empire has one spare its not unrealistic if the base has to deploy into a hostile areas fairly frequently, do extractions/medivac under fire or drop off infantry into environments that are too fucking awful to run ground vehicles along- forest or mountains.

If ground transport is available, armoured speeders, troop carriers and tanks would do just fine- but remember that will require a bigger logistics and support staff too to keep the pieces of shit working.

The sentinel's got 54 troops plus the flight crew that can likely double as mechanics.

>>50180133
>>50180156
The shuttles are not so much servicing the base (well, maybe the standard-pattern Kappa) as forming the core of the base

>>50180156
Flight crew are precious bitches that 'might' clean out their cockpit once in a while, but aside from that most wouldn't know a spanner from their own arsehole.
For vehicles to keep running you really do need dedicated support crews that can do the heavy lifting and getting greasy on its more intimate innards. Plus if you've got a base to run there's power supplies to keep going, lightbulbs to change and that shit in the corner with the flashing lights that looks important.

Parts and technical crew, very important! :)

>forming the core of the base

Sort of starting from the beginning a bit, what you have to figure out is what the Imperial's mission is?
Static defence, roaming patrols, reconnaissance, administrative, assault etc
Then you can kind of figure out what they need to take based on how long they'll be there and what the mission is for them. Essentially if they're living out of shuttles popping up in various locations to enforce governance, wave the flag and what not, you might get away with it for 2-4 weeks. But past that you're going to have issues maintaining their vehicles, food, health and supplies.

Also don't forget the Imperial modus.
They like to be large and in-charge, being seen and something EVERYONE knows is there when they do arrive. Often they'll drop down a pre-fab base from a Star Destroyer to make themselves known, set up there and then work there way out from that.

How would

Whisper + VI + fcs +gunner+ ACD

Omega leader + Comms + juke

OGP + Collision detector + Old fart "palp" McScumbag


do?

>>50180292
These are not precisely imperials, technically mercenaries with a lot of ex imperials among them. Just thinking of how they would set up a little beachhead with minimal support (There is an old CR25 with four LAAT/i gunships and four mpre atpts plus 12 bikes, but I don't think I want to deploy that yet) would some sort of air speeder be advisable, possibly a fighter?

>>50180444
Good, whisper, oleader and palps is a really solid list

>>50180444
I dunno, go play some games and report back on your findings. I think Gunner is a poor choice for the crew slot, it's rare for an attack by Whisper not to put something through. I guess it would be okay against a palp-x7 squad but that's pretty narrow. I'd rather use Kallus or Tactican or something and use the leftover points to put a shield on OL, since unless I find Whisper in a vulnerable spot I'm going after OL first just to strike out having to 1v1 OL later on.

Are you aiming for tournament rounds of one off games?

>>50180649

The idea with gunner is to (almost) always take the evade action. At ps 9 whisper normally gets to attack first. Whisper attacks one of two things happen

1. The attack hits and whisper gains TL, focus, cloak for 4 green with evade and focus behind it as well as palp.

2. The first attack misses some how (either x7 token up defenders, bad dice roll that I don't want to waste palp on w/e), I get Tl on the target adn get to attack again with whisper now with a TL and hopefully made the opponent waste resources on the first attack. 2nd attack now has a much better chance of landing and doing 1 up above.

>>50180649

I have a FLGS tourny this weekend and wanna get my feet wet with a not normal palpaces list. So i guess tourny rounds.

>>50180453
>would some sort of air speeder be advisable, possibly a fighter?
Yes, absolutely so. Even as little as four old bootleg surplus TIE/lns would massively multiply their effective firepower, let alone Y-wings or TIE bombers. Fuck, even some ancient C-73 trackers with ordinance racks welded on would help a lot.

Okay, so how would I do an RPG campaign that is basically Game of Thrones but set around the Mando clans jockeying for power (Protectors, Deathwatch, Nite Owls, etc.)

Well, that changes a lot of things. Irregular and unconventional forces will generally have a more wider skillset and you might be able to double-up on some duties in 'some' areas. Course, Bob T Rooper might not want to make dinner for everyone after fighting all day and the vehicle teams may also not want to be fixing shit after driving/flying for 36 hours straight! This flexibility also comes at the cost of course of not always being professional, less focused specialists and having their arse hanging out in the breeze so they might not take the risks a larger force could afford to soak up.
So if they take too many casualties or collateral damage they'll nope the fuck out first chance they get.

If the majority of their missions involve a lot of running around on the ground punching tickets, blowing shit up they might want to look at something which can do CAS- airspeeder or an old bomber-type attack craft.
Dedicated fighter support you might want to take into consideration just how big their budget is. If they don't have the readies for space/air superiority craft then the next best thing is having a lot of cheap AA mounted on vehicles or static emplacements with missiles and big fucking guns.

I'm going to not just call you a mandaboo and instead look at your suggestion at face value. Game of thrones, at least on TV, is pretty much about intrigue, war and sex. You can have as much sex as you want I guess but I doubt that's what you are into in RPGs. Mandos of course do war pretty well, but intrigue is not their strong point. Complex interactions and fealty shit sure, but everybody is all about muh honor. You wouldn't really have much betrayal or political manuevering so much as a series of "fite me IRL" duels for shit.

You want Game of thrones, you should do a series of political families on an important world, let's say Mid Rim. Certain families might support the Empire, others the Rebellion. Some might pick a side just for the short term advantages then switch when it's convenient. They might hire outside mercenaries like Mandos too.

/v/ question about KOTOR II, which planet I should visit second, Nad'Shadaa or Onderon?

>>50155442

>have you ever fanficced?

Yes. The Space Lestrade Trilogy is my Magnum PI Opus.

>>50155442
Hey anons, I'm DMing my first EotE game (which is quickly becoming an AoR game), and I was wondering about the amount of resources to give my players.
They're a pretty well built group, mostly specced for straightforward combat, and they hinted at wanting to be rebel privateers (does it even make sense as a concept? The rebellion doesn't really have an internal market to pay for privateers, the wookiepedia description makes them sound like part-time commerce raiders), so I was wondering what ship to give them. Right now they're grounded on an industrial world, where they have been raiding imperial supply deposits and sabotaging production.
For the next session I was looking to have them go steal a ship from the naval scrapyard to escape the system with all their haul, and I was considering having them discover an old Consular class light cruiser from the clone wars. Too much for a first ship?
It's just that it feels stupid for them to go pirating with a freighter, and even if they'd necessarily be an understrength crew, I could just have them buy some droids to fill the extra crew slots.
What alternatives should I look for?

>>50177306
That seems very unlikely.

>>50183334
>Consular class light cruiser
Both my previous groups have started in a Foray class, a Consular is a pretty close equivalent. I'd say that a Consular is a pretty decent ship for space piracy, but remember to equip the boarding module.

>>50155442
>confession time: have you ever fanficced?
Yes. I'm a pretty shit writer tho, most of my stuff is just the same concept in different settings.

Any help?

>>50184612
>Have you run a game where there was a force sensitive in it that didn't go full autismo with it and jerking off to the jedi?
Every single one of them (yes, there has been at least one jedi in every campaign I've played in).
My version of your complaint would be: have you ever played a game that didn't devolve into constantly escalating rebel activity?

So, did anyone else's group homebrew the force for affecting other people a bit?

We wanted some ability to defend against it, so we allow a willpower/ coordination roll against "force attacks".

>>50185223
There are rules for it anon.

Say someone uses Force Move on you, you roll willpower vs Resilience or another skill depending on the action used by the player or NPC

>>50185241
Really? Our GM thought that wasn't a thing, where in the book is it?

>>50183334
The consular is probably the best small-time pirate vessel around, sure. As for crew, the classic standby of freeing a bunch of slaves from the empire and a few staying on for revenge is a good one
Grab the old WEG D6 sourcebook entitled "Pirates and Privateers", it is quite literally built for running exactly this sort of campaign

>>50185255
Pg. 283, Force and Destiny

>>50185292

I *think* it does, but if it doesn't, WEG's Tramp Freighters does. Are you planning to take this in a more battletech-y accountant-y direction?

Maybe stupid question: do large characters like wookies and whiphids wear armor normally, or are there any special rules? I ask because I don't think I've ever seen either race depicted while wearing more than a bandoleer or a girdle.

>>50186182
Fair enough. Running a capital ship, even one that small is a very expensive endevor, although the choice of a consular DOES mitigate the biggest expense, which is crew. Also, remember the way pirate money spliting works. Even a huge take is parceled out among the crew in a way that won't actually give the PCs that much in terms of cash. Plus eventually they'll want a bigger ship, which means that they're suddenly splitting the take several hundred ways instead of 20 on their old consular, so you can throw them huge scores like a bulk freighter literally filled with valuables, without actually giving them a gorillion dollars

>>50186340

So how bad of an idea is it to buy a Kihraxz and a Mist Hunter with no upgrade cards?

Depends on the $$$. Both ships are only really any good with 1-2 pilots. For the Kihraxz Talonbane is naff but not utterly useless, and I don't think he's hugely dependent on any of the upgrades that come with the ship.

>>50187150
You're missing out on some great cards: Rage, Glitterstim, Crack Shot, Tractor Beam, Cloaking Device. It's not a terrible decision, but unless you're getting them for only a few bob each you might as well just buy the full expansion. You're going to get it eventually anyway.

>>50191872
New one is pretty great. They're all the same basic mechanics and are meant to mix with each other, but the book you'd likely use most for an Imperial campaign would be Age of Rebellion since it focuses on the military aspect of things. Everything's worded to assume players are Rebels, but it isn't difficult at all to tweak things to be from the Empire's side.

There's also an Imperial-focused Duty chart in the folders in the OP as well, essentially tweaks the Core book's Duty suggestions to be on the side of the empire and gives you an idea of how to tweak custom ones/ones in supplements.

I just found D20/saga to be too clunky for long-term play, end up with lots of house rules to patch up various vagaries in the system and to stop PC's from fucking with the system overly much. It hangs together ok up until about level 8-9 and then the wheels kind of fall off, players become hard to challenge etc.

Give the FFG stuff a shot, see if you like it and the PC's can get onboard with it.
(Some like it, some don't- different strokes for different folks I guess)
As a GM you can 'load share' so to speak by having the players do some work to push games with their motivations and so on, which does take a heck of a lot of work from your duty to 'entertain' players when they've got things they can amuse themselves with. Plus now all 3 books are out it opens up a whole lot of other options for them to poke around in. As >>50192007 mentions, the AoR book is best suited, but there's no reason why the others can't come into play with some minor diddling.

Run a couple of campaigns through to around 1200 and 1400xp and the game hangs together pretty well for the most part. PC's get tough, but enough stormtroopers barge through the door at the wrong time when you've got 1000xp and they're still going to be fighting for their lives!
