Has anyone played the Twin Shadows or Bespin Gambit mini-campaign for Imperial Assault? I've run the core set campaign, and I'm finishing up the Return to Hoth campaign this Sunday. I love the campaign mode of Imperial Assault, but between my schedule and the rest of the group's schedules, it takes forever to play a full campaign. We've only been able to play two missions in a day once, and we play at most every other week.

Slow thread today. Let's kick it into gear.

Best pre-Empire capital ship?

The retro Harrowers were pretty neat. Not sure why you'd want to bottleneck two hangers worth of fighters with those weird protrusions instead of just having two expanded hangers though, even if you do have a wider range of motion in space than you would on a normal battlefield.

I want to give a the party that I am GM for a new ship since their old one was beat up by a Imperial ambush. So I plan on using their various connections as an excuse to give them an old Munificent-class star frigate (pic related). It won't be 100% operational but it will give them something to improve and work upon. I also have plans on giving them some old B2 battle droids that can be used as defense on the ship itself. But is this type of ship to powerful to give to a group of outlaws/rebels (and a small crew of loyal followers)?

In terms of lore, the best pre-Empire capital ships are either the dreadnoughts that made up the Katana Fleet, or the Alderaanian War Frigate.

A little bit old school.

>>50579919
Well, what was their old ship?

>>50580610
It was a refitted cargo ship with extra shielding and extra guns. It was a mediocre ship at best.

No joke, I've been considering the same thing.

>>50580694
I think they are one of the best/coolest ships in SW

>>50579882
Yeah, I also thought Harrower is pretty cool.

>>50580675
Well, going from a midsized freighter to a midsized capital ship is a pretty big fucking leap, which brings up the question of where precisely they're getting a couple hundred guys to help them fly it, and that's if they've somehow laid hands on the thousands of B-1s that they'd also need, or else a couple THOUSAND live crew. Plus, one of those things is worth in the tens of millions, not something a contact would just hand over to a bunch of no-name goons.

>>50580839
Not that guy, but what about the Recusant-class light destroyer?

See >>50580694

It's smaller, with a crew of only 300 (which could presumably be cut down with modernization and reducing redundant systems.

>>50580839
I guess I'll have to save this idea for later on in the campaign them.
I just want to give them a cool ship that's all.

My idea for how one of their contacts got a hold of one was that they found one drifting in the outer rim with signs of battledamage on it, and all droids deactivated.

>>50579919
Its a powerful ship. You'll have to TIE fighters and Goznatis wont cut it anymore. You'll need to use larger corvettes and frigates in order to go toe to toe with the thing. Its a great ship though. Id also give it a shuttle so you youre party can land without worrying about boarding space stations and paying for shuttle fare

>>50580872
>It's smaller, with a crew of only 300

The Munificent class only has a 200 crew limit. So why should a Recusant class be easier to crew?

>>50580912
Munificent has 200 "crew" but a LOT more droids in would-be "crew" positions.

>>50580924
Why's that? in the pic here >>50580694 it just says up 150k deactivated battledroids, as in they have room to store 150k droids, not that the droids it can carry make up for the rest of the crew. Sure during the Clone Wars the security and pilot droids made up the 200 crew (most of the time) but if you have the manpower you wouldn't need any droids at a ll

>>50580911
That's arguable. By the GCW a Munificent should be in disrepair, and even during the Clone Wars I'd argue they were the capital ship equivalent of TIE fighters - mass produced for quantity over quality.

Doesn't mean it isn't goddamn awesome, though

>>50580872
>It's smaller

>with a crew of only 300
Three hundred LIVING crew controlling thousands of droid crew and so much slave rigging that it lives in mortal terror of ion cannon
>(which could presumably be cut down with modernization and reducing redundant systems.
Nah, 300 is the absolute rock bottom more-shit-automated-than-anyone-but-the-trade-federation-would-think-wise crew size. If anything, a postwar refit would INCREASE that number to make the ship less sluggish and vulnerable
>>50580883
>My idea for how one of their contacts got a hold of one was that they found one drifting in the outer rim with signs of battledamage on it, and all droids deactivated.
The thing is just that pirates (or more reliably, mercenaries or even rebels) would pay a LOT of money for even the coordinates for a wreck like that, retirement amounts of cash.
>I guess I'll have to save this idea for later on in the campaign them.
>I just want to give them a cool ship that's all.
Capital ships are just a HUGE logistical nightmare to operate and almost always totally dominate the campaign if you introduce one, is the thing

So shipfag, what other CW era ships would you recommend then?

>>50581061
Consular Class with the guns upgraded to have non-retarded firing arcs

>>50581061
If you wanted a nasty gunboat that a regular party and only a few buddys can fly, the only answer really is the Consular (even if I think FFG's crew numbers are too low). The CIS didn't really field much of anything at that scale, so the Consular is really your best option

Anyone have any fix recommendations for space combat?

Ever thought of statting land vehicles from Clone Wars era shipfag?

>>50581029
In the Wookipedia article for the Munificent-class, it says that some became pirate vessels or fought alongside the Rebellion later on, but were often modified heavily, to the point where they were barely recognizable as the same ship.

What would such a ship look like? Could you give a whack at stats?

>>50581168
I've done a couple, and they should be in the OP.
Got anything particular in mind that you want done?

Anyone else wish the FO star destroyers were a little more daring?

>>50581338
Now that looks pretty cool.

>>50581023
It's still a big ship at Silhouette 6 and covered in point defense, light turbolasers, and flak cannons. Not to mention it's massive Forward facing Heavy Turbolaser and Ion Cannon combo. The flak cannons and point defense will destroy any starfighter that got close while the turbolasers will take most corvette type ships to pound town. Multiple corvettes might take it down but we are talking about multiple causalities across both sides.

There's so much wasted potential in the TFA concept art. So much.

At one point, they considered having Jakku be a desolate swamp/marsh-like planet, with standing water collecting between mounds of rusting scrap from the GCW.

You know, something original.

Ahoy lads.
For a college project, we have to make a small video game. I have an idea for a ship combat game.

I'm feeling fairly optimistic, so I was wondering if I could have ship suggestions from the clone wars. I got the Venator, Acclamator, Munificent and Providence down.

Thank you /tg/ in advance.

I'm also open to fanon suggestions, as long as it's nothing daft like a 40,000 km warship called Palpatine's Cock or something.

What's a good Imperial special convoy make up for my Rebel Fleet Commander to hit. So far I have an Imperial I Class Star Destroyer loaded with TIE Fighters, Bombers and Assault Gunboats, 2 Victory 1s, 2 CR-90s, 2 Goznatis, 2 Lancers, and an Imperial Cargo Ship filled with goodies

>>50581481
>Jakku
>A swamp/marsh
I can't even imagine how much more fun TFA would have been if Rey had been a Space Cajun from Space Louisiana.

>>50581509
Two massive spherical battle stations, one 120km wide, the other 160km. Call them Palpatine's Balls.

Why are the Rebels attacking that convoy instead of countless other, less heavily protected ones?

>>50581532
An ISD is way over the rate for convoy escort unless there's something EXTREMELY valuable aboard. A regular escort capital would be something like a neb-B or strike cruiser or possibly a Dreadnaught. Maybe a pair of the above ships or a Victory if it's REALLY important. At higher values of cargo, carrying it in an old Acclemator instead of a traditional transport boat would also he a thing

>>50581627
to elaborate, Neb-Bs, Carracks, Dreadnoughts, Arquitens, and maybe Venators would be the most common ships seen on convoy duty

>>50581580
>>50581554
Thanks for the suggestions. Perhaps I'll add in a secret level in which Grievous must try to attack the battle stations of Palpatine's Balls.

>>50581702
The Imperial Cargo ship is a refitted Acclamator for cargo transport.
>>50581627
>>50581681
The cargo is supplies to the new Imperial Battlestation being constructed in the Maw as well as partial blueprints to the thing. The Cargo group is supposed to be small since the Empire is testing a new cargo route for transporting men and supplies from Corellia to the Maw without being hit by the Rebels as often. It's supposed to be a secret but they want to prepare for any contigency. Most of the cargo consists of massive amounts of weapon caches, medical supplies, fuel, and high grade construction material that my Commander can use to cut the cost of starship and defense construction. I was wondering if anything else would be a good add-on to make sure casualties are high

>>50582039
An Acclamator alone is quite daunting to go up against, throw in some Nebs and Carracks and it will be quite the task. What sort of forces do your players have to commit to this? Though the more I think about it the more I wonder why they would o it in the first place. The cargo is some nice materiel, but nothing that couldn't be obtained elsewhere with much less risk. I could understand if it was carrying vital intelligence or some sort of macguffin that could turn the tide of the war, but mundane supplies doesn't really seem worth it. Any rebel fleet with the means to do this has the means to get this stuff elsewhere much more easily.

>>50582039
I really can't see any reason to hit this nightmare convoy for those supplies rather than half a dozen exponentially less well defended convoys that would in the end yield around the same amount of stuff

>>50582231
The biggest problem for him is the use of new cargo routes. According to intel there is only one spot between the core and the maw that they can strike from without to much worry and if the empire sees the route as a success, then they'll begin reinforcing the area. The guy has an Assault frigate, a Quasar, a Nebulon B, 2 marauder, 2 DP20s, 3 CR90s, 2 YV-929s, a Goznati, 24 Z-95s, 12 h-wings, 12 v-wings, 24 Y-wings, 12 V-19s, 12 ARC-170s. The Imperial Cargo ship is a stripped down Acclamtor carrying 50,000 Encumbrance.

>>50582039
Still sounds like a net loss for the Rebels here. The payoff needs to be massive or highly plot-relevant to offset the planned, apparently catastrophic loss in trained, highly skilled manpower. The player can build all the ships in the galaxy, but they'll be worthless without trained, expert crews.

>>50582465
Alright. Ill save nightmare fleet till the week after.

So I know it's common for fans of the Legends EU to hate on Bothans, as pretty much there entire leadership is made up of assholes. Big enough assholes I'm surprised that the empire didn't set aside their non-human prejudice because they liked the cut of that jib.

But Asyr Sei'lar is pretty badass and doesn't seem to think all bothan culture is terrible. She clearly recognizes the leaders as being the jackasses they are, so it's not just blindness.
Are there any other bothans like her? I mean some actual badass spies maybe rather than scheming politicians.

>>50582519

That's the amount of escort you send as a trap: IE, you don't tell anyone it's gonna be there, or the big scaries are just behind a few minutes in the jump. Either that or the major capital ships are in a serious state of disrepair and nobody wanted to bother sending them back for refits.

Hey fa/tg/uys, some interest recently piqued with my gaming group about arranging a Star Wars RP. The system we're all most familiar with is 3.X/Pathfinder, while we've all branched out a bit individually, that's the one we all have in common.

So my question to you is what system do you think would work the best for us? We prefer d20 systems in general. One of us suggested trying GURPS but I've only heard horror stories from there. So, I'm just looking for a bit of advice.

Tfw rebels is probably done bringing life into old McQ concept art

>>50583919
D6 is classic, and doesn't have any real major flaws other than lack of support for post prequel EU (which some would say isn't a flaw at all). Saga Edition (D20) Has all the benefits and pitfalls of the D20 derivatives, but has the major benefit of a lot of support for different eras. FFG is intimidating at first glance, but really great and easier to run than it seems (speaking from personal experience here). Just run one of the intro adventures you can find in the Mega in the OP, it'll ease both you and your players in. You will need to house-rule/home-brew spaceship combat if your players want to use anything other than a light freighter. FFG is also the only system to really balance force sensitives with non force sensitives. By the time your Jedi is able to do the kind of shit a peak Jedi can the other players will have enough money, contacts, weapons, ships, and highly varied abilities to take over a Mid rim planet.

Iowa class, anon. Iowa class. Which the most famous USS New Jersey happens to be a member of.

>>50587992
I like them on construction, repair, or similar ships.
Or on module ships where it's clear the space gets filled.

Quick question, can VI let you equip titles that depend on pilot skill?

>>50588695
Yes.

Note, Adaptability does NOT allow you to equip said titles. This is because dual-sided cards have no set facing.

>>50588151
I mean, an ISD is already an all-big-gun Battleship in star wars terms, and the Tector variant already exists, dropping the hangers and other gear for more toughness and armor. that's kinda already a space Iowa. So I guess you'd be looking at an old Tector hull refitted with larger engines and maybe replacing the Ion Cannon with more heavy turbolasers

Wait. Why you send airpranes? Airprane no pray fair!

>>50588775
The Wook's Legends page for the Tector doesn't give any info for armaments. Is it sensible to assume the exact same armament as an ISD-II, minus the hangars and with the aforementioned ion replacement?

>>50588830
I would say the ISD I's, since it was a contemporary of the original-run Imperiators, with possible refits to ISD-II standard later. that's what I went with when I statted the thing.

of course, by the IR era, any survivors could have received any refit you care to think of in the intervening ~40 years

>>50588873
Legacy comics era (137 ABY), which is a bit weird in terms of ship armament. For unknown reasons, the Pellaeon-class Star Destroyer, the time period's main Imperial ship of the line, has an uncharacteristically tiny load of:
>5 heavy turbo batteries
>5 medium turbo batteries
>4 ion batteries
>3 tractor beam projectors
>5 proton torpedo launchers
>Interdiction field
>48 TIEs

So either turbolasers got crazy powerful in the intervening time or the Legacy era writers missed some zeros.

>>50588937
>Legacy era writers missed some zeros.
I would guess that.
either that or each "battery" was like 12 guns

I'm glad I got into the habit of just ignoring numbers when reading war fiction, and just use tone to determine if it's 'a lot' 'enough' or 'not enough'.
Still read ratios, but again rely on tone more.

Makes everything better

>>50588973
Probably. Due to the rather glaring lack of AA in the Imperial-class design (nothing but turbos, tractors, and ions as far as I can see), I'm guessing that an Iowa equivalent would take a shitload of regular quad lasers (80 40mm Bofors IRL) over a little bit of extra armor, given the already high toughness of the Imperial series.

>>50589145
I feel like the wing of TIEs was the replacement for conventional AA systems on those ships

From what I understand, Iowa class was largely refitted during the war to provide better anti-air capacity at the expense of heavier secondaries. The only thing it kept was the 16" guns for shelling the tiny islands in the pacific when they need to soften landings..

The ships also have the best kill record in history with more than 1/3 of all axis planes produced during WW2 being shot down by them alone. So pretty fucking scary.

Imagine a ISD size starship with only a handful of heavy turbolasers and all other energy resources dedicated to anti-squadron. Maybe with a larger hanger for their own bombers support as well.

I'd be like a carrier group and escort all rolled into one glorious engine of destruction.

>>50589512
Not really, Age of Rebellion just focuses on running games involving the Rebellion, Force and Destiny is the Force and Jedi.

>>50589534
>Imagine a ISD size starship with only a handful of heavy turbolasers and all other energy resources dedicated to anti-squadron. Maybe with a larger hanger for their own bombers support as well.
that already exists, it's the Venator-class
it would get torn up by a regular battleship-type vessel in a fight, though.
It'd be more cost-efficient to build big-gun battleships with moderate fighter cover and lancer and neb-B type escorts than that style of ship, though, is the problem

>>50589534
That, and when they retrofitted them in the 80s, they added a fuckton of missile systems. Some of the anti-ship missiles could hit a target from 20 miles away.

Some missiles could drop bombs while on their way to hit another target.

>>50589596
I love how Americans have ships that are so old still in service.

It reminds me of the Imperial Navy from 40K, where you have some old birds still kicking after 10,000+ years of dedicated service.

>>50589534
Given the size of the Iowa class' main guns, it would be more like a shitload of heavy turbolasers, but all clustered into a handful of linked batteries, then backed up by a ludicrous amount of AA. Since I'm going for a pure BB design, it would replace its hangar space with the gubbins necessary to optimize its gunnery: heat management, power feeds, surge protection, improved targeting systems, technobabble range extension, beefed up engines. Basically, everything necessary to make it fast, durable, and capable of sniping capitals while shredding retaliatory starfighter attacks.

Don't wanna be "that guy," but deathsticks aren't smoked. They're not cigarettes.

>>50589512
AOR is a little more limited in scope. It provides the basic framework for playing but really focuses on more or less War RPGing as the Rebellion, as well as the Empire or other military groups if you so desire. Has a lot of rules for big battles, missions, rising through military ranks, dealing with traitors, designing bases, and capital ship combat. Good stuff, but if you plan on going out in the Galaxy in the vein of Rogue Trader, Star Wars Galaxies, or Freelancer, you'll likely want to pick up EOTE and FAD.

AOR is great, but it does limit the scope more than the other two. Unless your guys want to be Rebel troops or Imperial commandos or fight in the Clone Wars or whatever, it may not be enough.

>>50590667
On this note, I needed to know for my campaign: what kinds of cigarettes exist in the Star Wars universe? We see them, or other smokey pipe devices, several times in the movies, but we're never really told how potent they are. The closest we get are death sticks, which as anon correctly points out are not smoked.

Yeah all two ISDs and a Shield Gate. Very impressive when the Empire underestimates the enemy for the 50th time.

Anyone know how to change the text size in Moonreader+ pro? I am trying to read sw books qithout killing my eyes.

>>50602810
The Empire underestimating Rebel Fleet meme is annoying. I can't recall a single space battle the Rebels won without having a huge advantage in ships (except for the Force miracle of the first Death Star). If the Empire would reinforce its fleets in battle so that they aren't sending one ISD to fight 78 MC80s and Nebulon Bs they'd probably win a lot more often.

>>50603272
I wouldn't mind this if the Empire was shown as being understaffed from recent events and trying to make the best with its overstretched forces, but they're shown to be completely overbearing in all situations except the ones where they should be.

>>50603272
It's not a meme when the Emperor himself took a gamble, decided "hey, I can never lose!" and pretty much got fucked. The only person who seems to take this seriously in the movies is Vader.

>>50603548
This.

The emperor is trying to play 4th dimensional chess when the empire really needs someone to hold it's hand.

Pretty sure they were still outnumbered at Endor, just Palpatine wanted to show off his giant compensation laser.

Holy shit, Peter Cushing was the best.

>>50603883
Endor was pretty close. The Rebels didn't have that much of an advantage and despite the Emperor's cockiness they were definitely winning. It was just a string of horrible luck/deus ex machinas that led to the Empire losing.

>Executor takes critical hit to shield generator
>Dies to stray A-Wing pilot kamikaze
>ISD2 destroyed by suicide attack from MC80
>Vader turns good
>Emperor dies
>Death Star gets blown up
>Fleet runs away

It was a losing fight for the Rebels until a string of coincidences started popping up. Can't even blame Palpatine's ego for that.

>>50604274
It's sad Tarkin got the image of being a crazy asshole monster. Cushing himself was reportedly incredibly kind and softhearted, fun to be around by the cast. Similar to Englund in Nightmare on Elm Street, a saint playing a devil.

>Can't even blame Palpatine's ego for that.
I think you could argue that he arrogantly assumed Vader was his spineless tool, and it cost him his life and the battle.

So I'm about to start running a game using all 3 systems, I have 6 players, they're going by 2s using the systems. The characters from EotE are using Obligation, the characters from AoR are using Duty, and the characters from FaD are using Morality. For the AoR and EotE, should I limit their starting Duty/Obligation to 20, as there are only 2 players using either, or would I go with 5 duty and Obligation since there are a total of 6 players?

>>50605209
I kinda feel mundane characters should only use obligation or duty. They really set the tone for the game and it really doesn't make as much sense if you use a mix. Force users should always use morality if they are using a f&d career and I feel they should also take a small obligation or duty as well.

So you're saying only use one or the other? Not both when it comes to Ob or Duty?

>>50605338
>So you're saying only use one or the other? Not both when it comes to Ob or Duty?

Exactly, they really set the tone of the game. Duty represents the player's ties and dedication to the rebellion (or the empire if you refluff the duty chart) while Obligation represents something in the past the players may be running from or just the general pressure of living life on the fringes of galactic society. You can actually use Obligation a little bit throughout the course of a AoR or F&D game to represent certain things like getting a bounty on your head or taking a loan from some gangster or anything else they may do that you might want to use to haunt them, I would use this sparingly however.

So, who is interested in an FFG SW game as the Imperial remnant under Pellaeon? Bullying slavers is the general mission statement. We're set right after the battle of Orinda, so the Empire still has the Reaper, but it doesn't have anything near that in the region you're deployed, namely Senex-Juvex where Impieral, Huttese, Chevin, and Trandoshan abolitionists are fighting their reputations and planning to carve out a new front where the New Republic can't possibly intervene without a diplomatic crisis.

Games start around 3:15 EST on either day.

I have a couple of questions about imp assault., if you don't mind.

>how hard is it to paint the figures?
I know that they are just plain out of the box, and I don't mind painting, I paint my armada squadrons And other tabletop game figures too. Are the figures about 40k size? Larger? Smaller?
>how does it play in competitive?
I know it has a story game style, and I'm glad you like it, but is there a DM game style? Is it a point buy with upgrades like xwing? Is it balanced by point levels? Like are rebel troopers and stormtroopers evenly matched?
>is it usable for starwars figure based rpgs?
I have a EotE group and we occasionally switch back to d20 saga when we want, and its always hard to visualize the games without figures. Are the map templates useable for other things, like base mapping? Are there map tile boosters like there are for D&D?

Any help is enjoyed, just want to know some stuff before I buy in. I love starwars, but I don't like wasting time or money. Sorry if I'm being annoying.

2 in all characteristics, 105 xp

I get the impression that guy was talking specifically about in-print tabletop miniatures games.

I love Imperial Assault, but I think it would scale up terribly to try to play on even a 4'x4' map. A dice pool of blue/green is a pretty good one for range on an attack, but that averages less than 5 inches.

I got a really dumb idea looking through the U-wing stuff, so dumb I think it might actually have some merit:
>Kyle and/or Jan HWKs
>Rage
>Inspiring Recruit
>Twin Laser Turret
Cheap small turret carriers with full rerolls on both rounds of turret shots, can clear both stresses the next turn, and Kyle can pass the focus to someone else or Jan can buff someones attack instead of going all in on the turret if the damage is better used elsewhere.

>>50607394

Fuck the Resurgent, it looks like it fell in between the couch cushions and got sat on. The model would also have to be around 16 inches long, so it's too big for armada without and epic mode like X wing has.

Gib Allegiance and Secutors plz.
Tectors and Procursators are also good.

>>50608803
>>50608599

Not a straight up wargame, but I'd appreciate something scaled slightly different than X-Wing (as much as guys who don't know any better want to keep shoehorning ground combat into that game) but which is more objective based like Armada. Just plugging at each other with numbers is only part of the fun. Positioning, speed, ability to think about a tactical situation beyond just figuring out how to roll the most dice and shoot the most of the other guy's doods.

I hated the idea at first - was completely disgusted by it. But in thinking about it, I actually rather like the idea - because it gives a real reason for the Mandalorian Diaspora.

Mando's were always written as nomad mercenaries, despite having a trough of worlds to call home. Now, with the New Mandos, you know why - because the mandalorian people embraced peace and exiled those who followed their old traditions.

Basically, its Post-WW2 Japan.

>with no mention of the cultured planetary citizens

Because they likedly got subjugated. The last thing we see in TCW is the Night Owls overthrowing the Maul Mandos, who had previously overthrown the peaceful govt.

Its inferred that there was, yet again, an overthrow, resulting in the Empire taking over Mandalore, and the rest of the warrior Mandos who weren't keen on that, going to Concord Dawn.

Likely, Mandalore is split between castes in service to the Empire - lower caste serfs of former new-mandos, and ruling caste former maul mandos now serving the Empire.
