This is strictly headcanon speculation, but would it make sense for Wookiee warriors to not only braid their hair as a status symbol, but in the event of being defeated by their opponent, they present the victor with one of their braids, which would then be woven into their own fur?

It'd give them more of an honorable aspect that isn't as serious as a life debt, but still respectable nonetheless. Plus it would give the braids on Boba Fett's armor a whole new meaning as well, meaning he earned the respect of the Wookiees he's fought, even if they died shortly after. Doesn't mean that others don't pervert the practice, like trandoshan hunters and other bounty hunters taking them off of the pelt simply as a trophy

Y'know, I'm pretty sure Rebels has it that sound in space is literal, not just for effect (Or Kanan also has Force Ears).

And nobody complains about Rebels with light freighters.

>>51093775

Yeah, there's fuck all about it right now. Maybe some kind sir with the visual guide could track some shit down, but otherwise it seems mostly like it's a light shuttle? Maybe like long range or recon? Krennic doesn't rate an ISD to escort him so he just uses his mobile office to speed around. Lambdas are Multi-purpose, Zetas are Cargo, Sentinels are troop/combat landers.

>>51093855

We could use another round of Epic. Have to fudge the fuck out of the scale for the Arquitens.

So exactly like the Dothraki from Game of Thrones?

>>51093775
>>51093855
I have the Visual Guide, here's some info.

>"The Delta-class did not see much use in the early days of the Empire, being outpaced in popularity by the more versatile Lambda-class. But Krennic's eye for bold architecture favored the design and he kept one in active use for over a decade."

>Unlike other long-range Imperial craft, Krennic's shuttle has few on board amenities.

Krennic basically liked the side project concept which was never intended to be implemented made by Sienar so he personally put it into production.

>>51094746
Which is a shame because he came off as such a fucking impotent cuck in the movie. Much like Kylo it feels like he can't do anything right and gets constantly bullied.

>>51094853
>not liking Krennic and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

>>51094853
But that's his appeal, he's middle management at best. While ambitious and evil, he's still very much small fry compared to the actual big bads of vader and tarkin.

>>51093021
One of my players in EotE wants to take an old FX series droid he found and turn it into an assistant in his ship's engineering shop to do things like make precision cuts and drill on things like blasters. What sorts of things would he need to get it operational and what bonuses should I give him? I was thinking just have him roll an extra blue dice or reduce the difficulty of checks that the droid could conceivably help out with.

>>51094948
I understand that but in a movie film I don't find it compelling. The argument could be made that R1 is all about "the little guys" relatively speaking but what about TFA?

When Vader showed up you knew shit was about to get real. What did Krennic ever do beyond have some no-names shoot other no-names? What did Kylo ever do but get shit on by everyone else then have a goofy-looking shot of killing Han?

>>51094746

See, now this is good design for a villain and a ship - and I hope both LF and FFG do something with it.

A competitor to the Lambda's design, it falls behind because it's not as versatile, but it's visual aesthetic makes it appealing to eccentric micromanagers like Krennic. He requisitions a model and maintains it because that's the kind of dude he is.

>>51094853
Krennic thinks he's more important than he actually is, and he uses tricks to convince people he's a necessary asset. Like in Catalyst he basically organizes a super elaborate arms smuggling operation so the Empire has an excuse to occupy these two planets and take over their mining operations. It also distracts Tarkin when the hired smugglers decide they've had enough of this shit and start a resistance movement. Tarkin sees right through this though and figures out it's Krennic which is why Krennic hates Tarkin because he knows Tarkin is a threat to "his" project, and why Tarkin wants the DS so badly. He knows Krennic is a fucking cunt who's just trying to suck up to the Emperor.

Reading Catalyst makes you realize what a manipulative cunt Krennic is.

>>51095039
Yeah I can speak for TFA as I felt it was just retreading a safe path. Kylo's big issue for me is they played up his youth and conflicted nature, then set him as a definite bad guy right after, then have him job pretty hard. At least throw him a win to solidify his new bad guy status.

So I just won two games of XWM using a combo, and I feel the need to triple check it works like a think.

So I ran the Millenium Falcon with S-loop title, and smuggled Inertial Dampener. And Kanan Jurrus crew.
Now ID and the S-loop upgrade both cause white manuevers that stress after executing, and Kanan removes a stress after executing a white manuever. I'm like 95% sure that I can order those two effects how I want, so I take the stress then remove it, so I still get an action.

Correct?

You can humanise Stormtroopers, because they're people. You can, to an extent, humanise clones because they technically qualify as human. But robots, no matter how funny an accent you give them, mean nothing in a fight.

>>51096535
Yet clones have more heart and personality. Despite being clones they have more humanity.

For example if the ship was carrying a captured enemy soldier who managed to get out of his jail and started sabotaging the ship, now he is holed up near the engine block and is engaged in a fierce firefight with your co-pilot.

Yes, exactly. The system is "roll xD6 (where x is determined by your skill/ability) against a TN determined by difficulty and modifiers." It's as easy, yet endlessly modifiable/capable, as a system can be.

>>51099842

Really? so mostly is good vs bad the sith/dark jedis are bad mkay'?

I thought it was more aligned to neutrality. The way the Jedi council never intervene on conflicts unless it's strictly necessary. How the dark side is fueled by passion and not necessary for the necessity to make bad things (although you make a lot of evil things because you let your emotions and passions flow).


>>51099803
Have you ever played a blaster jedi? They are cool, gunslinger and master of the Force.

do people play any kind of game (rpg, videogame, larp, etc) and unironically play a non-jedi character? What's the point?

>>51099912
>Really? so mostly is good vs bad the sith/dark jedis are bad mkay'?

That's literally how it's been since 1977, anon.

The dark side isn't a good thing, and the people who use it aren't good either.

Balance, not neutrality. Look at the old Jedi Code before Odan-Urr ruined everything:
Emotion, yet peace.
Ignorance, yet knowledge.
Passion, yet serenity.
Chaos, yet harmony.
Death, yet the Force.

The Jedi, at the high points in their history, were good because they preserved the balance of nature and encouraged a balanced lifestyle--acceptance of emotion without giving in to excessive passion. The Sith were bad because their actions were associated with imbalance and unnatural shit, and they encouraged giving in to passions and ambition at the expense of everything and everyone else.

The idea is that most of the time, they do, through diplomacy. We see Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon trying the diplomatic route in TPM but negotiations broke down. But diplomacy is boring as shit. Consumers don't buy into a franchise named Star Wars to watch a rousing episode of Star Diplomacy, which is why nobody gives a shit about the generations of peace that Obi-Wan mentioned.

>>51100498

>they're meant to be preventing them from happening in the first place.

welp, they are not too good doing it.

The Sith/Dark Jedis are instead ingrained with war, they even lead armies. It was funny how in CLone wars they turned the Jedi Masters into Generals automatically.

Ok to be fair my knowledge of the EU is not good.

>>51100564
>Star Diplomacy

m8b cool

>>51100571
That's the entire point of the prequels, anon. The Jedi had lost their way to the point where they were turned into something they never should have been in the first place, and this allowed disaster to come to pass.

The dark side by its very nature is bestial and predatory, it makes sense that those that use it would excel at making conflict.

So what are the odds of martial artist being either amazing, so-so, or terrible?

>>51100651

The Rule of Two wasn't a thing by then so there was no strict code enforcing the idea. The Sith do it to eachother anyway; the only thing the rule did was reign their constant betrayals in and establish a clear line of succession.

Aren't there 6 seasons?

>>51101287
There's technically five and a half, as Season 6: The Lost Missions was only 13 episodes - that's all that they were able to complete before the show was officially canceled. Pretty much the entirety of Season 6 is worth watching, though.

It even makes Jar Jar amusing

>>51101325
They cancelled this show? It seems really good. Far better than I expected.

Is Rebels decent?

>>51101186
Because they put up one hell of a fight when united against a common enemy, but the second they lose sight of the enemy (or when an ambitious high ranking sith decides it's his turn to lead) they all turn on eachother and their conquest-fueled empire implodes.

>>51101353
It cost too much to make is what I heard.

>>51101353
Cost a lot to make- apparently George was putting some of his own money in to keep it afloat. And also Disney had just acquired the stuff and wanted to do their own thing.

>>51101353
Well, it had to end at some point. There's a finite amount of time between AotC and RotS. TCW already risked running into the same problem as Post-Yavin Legends: the heroes having schedules so full that they barely have enough time to take a piss break between films.

>>51101353
Season 6 was being produced about the time that George was putting together the sale to Disney.

The three main reasons why TCW was canceled, in no particular order, were:

1. It was crazy expensive - George was putting several million of his own personal cash into each episode, and Disney didn't really want to do that

2. It was on Cartoon Network, and Disney didn't want to pay a rival company to host their own product.

3. As time went on and the show got darker, it began losing its original target audience - the number of people who watched Season 5 was much smaller than the number of people who watched the first couple seasons.

So they canceled the show, and Dave Filoni, the TCW lead director/producer and all-around padawan to George, began working on Rebels.

Rebels is okay - it's got more swing between high and low episodes than TCW and really hasn't hit a solid stride yet, but like TCW, when it hits a high note it's really good.

So I get that FFG's Star Wars supplements are unbalanced, as all of FFD's additional stuff is.

But how horrible is it?
Is it game-breakingly bad?
Or is it just "oh, that's a bit untoward, but not so bad I would ban it" bad?

I want to run a criminals game, and since I don't think any of my friends could take Shadowrun, it looks like I'm going to go with Edge of the Empire.

>>51101359

so every Sith conquest end in failure when they conquer their enemies and there is no one else to fight? They are fucking Orks with psyquic powers.

>>51101439
Cool, thanks for the explanation. I'm at season 3 and liking it a lot. I can see why this is so expensive to produce though.

>>51101457

>So I get that FFG's Star Wars supplements are unbalanced, as all of FFD's additional stuff is.

They're what now?

>t. Been running all available FFG SW at a steady pace for like 2 years on and off

>>51101496
Season 3 is where TCW hits its stride (though there are still weak episodes), and where its budget rises dramatically, with new improved character models all around.

>>51101503
I haven't played much FFG Star Wars, but a couple of friends of mine who play it a lot have complained about the imbalance of the various kinds of gear available in the supplements.

From your response, I can only assume that it's not really that bad?

Also, what rate do you usually give XP at?
Because in the one game I did play, an AoR game, the GM gave so much XP it ran out of control stupid fast.

>>51101545

I mean, you can get an Autofire weapon straight out of the core book. Or a lightsaber. Those are probably the two most frustrating "Oh, right, well those guys are just dead hold on, let me make like five more appear" weapons you usually run into. Disruptors are in the EotE core too... I think.

I mean, there's some pretty dope weapons in the supplements, but most of those tend to be balanced by obscene cost or rarity, and as GM you always have the privilege of saying "No you don't find a Verpine Shatter Rifle in a Tatooine flea market". I think starships are a little weirder, but the price tag on most like, Capital Ships is so huge you have to hand those to your players anyway.

>Also, what rate do you usually give XP at?

I think I read somewhere the ideal rate was like, 5 XP for every major accomplishment (beat significant foes, accomplish goals, whatever) so for me it's usually 10-15 XP per session depending on what gets done, with a player getting +5 XP if they do something which significantly plays to their motivation (Like the Ace with Conflict - Revenge going out of her way to shoot imps even though really you should just leave already). Rarely go for 20 base if they do like a big deal session where lots of significant stuff gets accomplished.

>>51101457
>>51101545
I mean there's lots of gear that's just meh, and some gear that's stupid powerful, but is supposed to be restricted (like the shatter rifles) but IMO the worst offender isn't a particular set of items but using talents/and or the crafting rules to modify gear well beyond anything else.

Joining my first FaD game soon, the GM wants to run a knight-level game post-Order 66. I've played AoR and EoE before, but I've never messed with the Force rules. Which saber spec is better for surviving until I get more experience?

It depends on what you want to do as a character, as each is tied to an attribute. The two best defensive ones are Soresu and Shien (for ranged defense). Niman is great but doesn't do major damage or flashy defense. Shii-cho is noteworthy in pretty much all it's talents also apply to melee weapons.

>>51102388
I think Shien then, most of the thing we fight will be shooting at us.

>>51097627

X wing squads are 13 pts a piece for a total for 88 not 79, You'll have to either swap them for Ys which are 10 each, or completely redo your fighter wing, as you'll be 409/400 if you don't.

Also, drop the repair crews for a com net, I've found rebel ships go from full hull to dead before it usually can make a difference. I'd also recommend finding the points to make the Neb-B an escort frigate, the double blue flak dice and extra squadron point are worth it, and for the love of god put an ECM on that arse frig first, then add the gunnery team.

Final note, you consulted with the other rebel players about your use of uniques right? My local group had a problem with everyone building lists that used same titles and squadrons without realizing THERE IS ONLY ONE BIGGS.

In terms of adding stuff? More Z-95s for squadron cover, spinal mounts on salvation, TRCs on jaina's light, another GR-75 for more activations, and APTs & OE on the MC 30.

I think your biggest worry for the first round will be a squadron heavy fleet that blows through fighter cover, though thankfully your odds of getting Rhymer'd are only 1 in 3.

19+14+39+7=79

The Rebel players built our lists together this afternoon, so we're clear on uniques.

You are right about changing out Gunnery Team to get ECM to start, especially with the AF having no duplicate defense tokens. I can't be sure that I'll face lists that Gunnery Team is good against, but I can be sure I'll want my defense tokens. You're probably right about changing the Nebulon-B. Taking off the Salvation title (for now), upgrading to the Escort Frigate version, and dropping repair crews leaves me with 5 points free. Would you go Comms Net on the transports and a cheap officer on the Neb-B? Or maybe Expanded Hangar Bay or Boosted Comms on the transports?

None of the six players for the campaign have a ton of Armada experience. Hopefully it won't be a bloodbath one way or the other. I just really want to see a final 3v3 showdown with ~3,000 total fleet points on the table.

If I'm running transports as fighter pushers, I always give them expanded hangers, if they're just activation whores they get com nets and pass free tokens to the heavy lifters.

As cheap officers go, skilled first officer is usually a go to, it's cheap insurance against slicer tools, and can also burn a bad dial if you miss timed you commands. Veteran captain is another cheap officer - it's basically the budget version of raymus antilles.

Depending on what you want the AF to do, consider grabbing Walex Blissex if he's still available - bringing back defense tokens can help keep it going, especially if the Imps start running the intel officer/XI7 combo, and while we're on damage mitigation, Lando on the mc30 if you can wrangle it, you have to get close to make those broadside work, and close is where the empire is deadliest - but making them reroll an entire attack AFTER they've done all their dice mods can be golden.
Of course that can also backfire if they somehow roll better.

And if you want to make you fighter screen deadlier, consider flight controllers on the AF + expanded hangers, and have toryn farr around to reroll that extra die.

Is the droid non-functional in any way? If so, then have him go through Droid crafting (in Special Modifications). Depending on how broken the droid is, probably at least a discount on the appropriate chassis, and either decreased Mechanics check or a Boost or two, also possibly a minor decrease in crafting time; if the hardware of the droid is fine, then probably just skip the step unless the player wants to try and make improvements. Same for software/directives; if it's in a good or salvageable state, either skip the step or give some discounts/make the check easier, or skip if it's perfectly fine.

If the droid's completely in a fine shape, then just a normal mechanics (/medicine check) to recover Wounds to fix it up.

And by default, anybody that can provide help but isn't better than the person making the check (generally in Characteristics or Skills) then it's just a Boost to whatever check.

Its only got 2 hull and almost no greens to deal with stress from other sources.
I figured that would be enough of an offset. I can see upping the costs 1 or 2 points across the board. But going close to 30 for a 2 hull ship is insane.

>>51105585
As Soontir Fel should demonstrate, hull doesn't matter if you have the means to avoid being hit. White Tallons and K-turns with Boost thrown in is a pretty huge deal.

>>51105623

Absolutely, they've become a cornerstone of the meta now. 18 points get you an extra activation and an extra deployment, and their decent for running squadrons or supporting other ships with the right upgrades.

Buy 2.

>>51105612
soontirs power comes primarily from his action economy combined with high PS. These things don't want PTL and can't stack focus and evade while re-positioning and don't have the PS to arc dodge effectively.

its the same basic progression from z95 to tie fighter, a more fragile ship gets better dial.

I think you're over valuing a white k or troll. Adrenalin rush lets pretty much any ship do it once and yet almost never sees play.

It's obvious that the jedi way is the "good" way and that the sith are the bad guys from the films; this pretty much how it is, even in KotOR2 (even if there was plenty ludonarrative dissonance going on there thanks to BioWare's hardon for morality sliders*). I guess the thing is that the idea of "balance" has been twisted into meaning equally light side and dark side when in reality there is only the Force and the dark side. Light side or "the light" was/is used to juxtapose that tradition of force usage against the dark side despite it being the actual neutral force (or natural, whatever) - it has no deeper meaning than that. The force is fine when there's nothing but jedi around because they use it normally. The dark side on the other hand is a corruption of the force, like a cancer, that eventually causes an imbalance. As for video games causing this; I doubt they were even close to being the first to misconstrue this dynamic. What they did do is make it a bit worse with even more people thinking the dark side and the light side gotta be balanced off eachother and that the best way is some weird middle path that pretty much doesn't exist. Grey jedi differentiate themselves from ordinary jedi not because they walk some tightrope above the abyss of the dark side, but because they're wild cards who act outside of the jedi code/order.

*My main issue with KotOR in general; BioWare's need to push the morality slider. This system was then carried over onto KotOR2 in which it made even less sense to have. But then again, KotOR2 was not about the fight between the dark side and the natural state of the force ("the light"), it was about the struggle between the Jedi and the Sith as religious organisations with strongly dogmatic ideologies duking it out over the galaxy now and then to the horror of everyone else.

>>51099666
According to the Imperial handbook (which references legends things) the Rebels have promised never to use superweapons.

>>51106150
Makes sense, it's much harder to take the moral high ground as liberators fighting for freedom and democracy when you're throwing around Nukes, or threatening their use.

They had the Mag Pulse torpedo in TIE Fighter and XWA, basically the legends equivalent of the Rogue One Ion torpedo that only worked on a ship's guns and fighter engines but I think may have bypassed shields.

>>51105966
Most games and settings make "grey jedi" underwhelming and weak, since they focus on giving extreme and unique powers for going full darkside or exemplar jedi.

Those rare games where the main character masters both the best powers of the jedi and the sith fell like fan wank, though.

I'm not sure about this. It just feels like an EPT version of Mara Jade.

What about a Carnor Jax like aura that prevents ships within Range 1 from discarding Stress tokens by any means?

>>51105844
This is fairly priced, and what Outmanouver should have been.

>>51106714

I had that exact same card with the name 'Partisan X-Wing'

>>51106712

Royal Guard is Modification slots, you're thinking A-Wing.

>>51105844
This seems like it would be very potent on a turret ship. Most of the time it is highly likely that at least one enemy will be in range but can not see you. I would add a requirement of the enemy being inside your firing arc. For thematic reasons I might also add the requirement of being at Range 1 and drop the cost by a point or two.

>>51106741
Yes, and that card is a modification that gives an Elite pilot upgrade.

>>51106593
That's another aspect of it, yeah. They introduce this weird middle-ground between the fictional "Light Side" and the Dark Side, then make it absolutely useless. It's quintessential BioWare design - they did the same with Mass Effect. If you're not hardline Renegade or hardline Paragon, you lose out on special actions related to the two.

I agree on the fan wank bit aswell. Powers like lightning or force choke (the former especially) feel like they're inherently tied to the dark side because of the kind of feelings you'd invoke to use them. There's nothing stoic or zen about electrocuting people.

>>51106712
Seems expensive Senpai.

>>51105966
Bioware did not make KOTOR2, Obsidian did, which is why the morality tones are different. I am also pretty sure the only reason KOTOR2 had the bars was because of the fact it was on the same engine.

>>51106753

Ah, I see. So it needs to be Limited at the least. Or as others say it needs to be made a Title.

The Imperial Handbook IS Legends.

>>51106959
Yeah, I guess I could have explained that part better. Obsidian just did a sequel based on the engine and systems; morality meter included. Obsidian don't have a tendency to include those kinds of things in their games at all - if there is a meter that goes up and down depending on your actions, it's usually one tied to a specific faction's reputation. The meter might have worked better in KotOR1 when it was more about a clearcut conflict between the good jedi and the evil sith, but even then they kind of messed up. Jolee Bindo was a prime example of a grey jedi; a man who used the force in the same way the jedi did and was just as "good" as them, but who disregarded the Jedi Order's codes and dogmas. Then we, as a player, literally have a grey scale right between the jedi and sith.

>>51099341
Squads and Squadrons Rules. TIEs blow up if you breathe on them, without wingmen you're gonna die. Plus I kinda like the idea of the PCs being the only consistent survivors while the rest of their squadron constantly gets fucked by assholes in Z-95s

well, technically every jedi working in Episodes IV to VI are grey jedis, because they are not following the Order (I know the order is no more at that time but still..).

for death troopers I made brawn 4 agility 4 stormtrooper minions (with the increase to soak and wounds) that suffered -1 brawn -1 agility and a setback die when hit with an Ion grenade.

>>51109532
It's still awesome how that shot was an accident on set that the director thought looked REALLY cool.

(Someone called the actress as they were stage testing the lights and he decided to shoot like 50 takes of it because the cameras were digital and multiple takes are cheap.)

I think the dividing line is do you like star wars for the characters, or the world? I personally love star wars for the different weird alien locales, and the space battles so it checked my boxes.

>>51109394
>Rebels Diet Dark Trooper security droids
They're sentry droids that seem to fit a guarding role. High brawn and moderate agility, with ranks in brawl, resilience, and ranged heavy at least. Put something in perception as well since they're sentries. Good amount of soak. They use retooled built-in stormtrooper rifles as well.

>Death Troopers
Stormtrooper + cyborg marine powder

>KX security droids
I can help with this with my visual guide:

>Arakyd engineers pride themselves in the anatomical structure boasted by their KX-series. Although K-2SO's proportions are exaggerated beyond the human norm, his body and limbs are precision engineered to give him the mobility of a human athlete. Complex gyro-balance systems keep him upright when running briskly and changing direction.

>K-2SO has a built-in communications booster that allows him to scan and access standard Imperial communication frequencies.

>K-2SO's versatility is representative of a disappearing design philosophy, as major droid manufacturers find greater profitability in selling specialist models rather than multifunctional models. With his humanoid shape and dexterous manipulators, K-2SO can operate a wide variety of tools and equipment, and carry gear tirelessly. His cognitive module is also programmed with specifications for more than 40 Imperial transport vessels, making him a capable pilot.

>>51109598
Blue Squadron X-Wings when FFG?

>>51109574
If you wanted to get super fancy, I'd say giving them storm commando armor, which gives them a boost on perception and stealth. you could also give them HBRs, but that may end poorly for the party.

>>51109619
Yeah, so I figure good persception, agility and brawn. Probably a focus on brawling, but K2 was a mean shot with that Se14.

>>51109700
The seem to be using the DLT-19X rather than the full auto DLT-19, so it's not auto-fire.

>>51109598
I rather liked both in R1.

>>51109668

When they can work out what to bundle it with, and what 'fix' the X Wing needs.
They won't do another single-ship X-Wing, so it'd need to be paired with something else.

Given the ships we have currently, I'd say the prime candidates are either the Y-Wing or E-Wing. Rebel Ys lack native EPTs, and non Corran Horn Es are pretty damn rare to see, from my experience.

>>51109852

>>51109852
Maul's Mandalorian Fighter, perhaps?

>>51110275
That's a 51-65 meter monstrosity, a Scum Large if not Huge ship, why would it bundle with an X_Wing?

>>51109852
>Given the ships we have currently, I'd say the prime candidates are either the Y-Wing or E-Wing. Rebel Ys lack native EPTs, and non Corran Horn Es are pretty damn rare to see, from my experience.

A native Rebel Y-Wing fix is long overdue, but I'd be suprised to see them rerelease anything from Legends at this point. MAYBE an update for the Starviper with whatever they decide to go for the Scum Massive, but that's it.

>>51110521
I hate to suggest it but I feel like FFG just needs to just release a fucking pack of cards at this point. Just a simple "Rebel/Imp/Scum Upgrade Set" that's nothing but cards. No ship model. That way they can get it out faster, and you don't have to buy a ship you may not want just for the cards.

Nice, but wait I thought even the full Dark Trooper was just a Minion. (May be completely mistaken there, I don't have my book on hand)

>>51110548

Frankly, I'd welcome that as a big fix for lots of the Wave 1/2 cards which frankly will never be used as stands (several of the early EPTs are overpriced in the extreme, but could be retooled). Same as the Rebel Y aces not have EPT slots.

>>51110650

I'm just going by the show. They're not meant to be dark troopers.

Also here's my take on the KX-series.

>>51110726
That's... Quite something for a basic security, chauffeur, and signal work droid.

Full nemesis is a bit much.

>>51110521
I would not be surprised to eventually see a "Veterans of Skariff" box that has a blue-squadron X and Y in it, along with upgrade cards and pilots to benefit. It'd probably have a few more Vectored Thrusters as well.

The problem with the E-Wing fix, is any fix to the E-Wing will also affect Corran. And he needs NO help at the moment. They could add an astro that reduces the cost of the E-Wing, as it would run counter to Corran builds. But it's in a really weird spot otherwise, because Corran is justifiably expensive.

>>51109113
That art style gives me the creeps

>>51110780
I used K-2SO as a reference, but he's most likely PC level so I'm not sure how to handle the basic ones.

>>51109492
The general consensus I've been hearing, is that this movie is great and only a dissapointment if you
A) Hate Star Wars
B) Hate Empire Strikes Back (or the OT)
or C) are a fucking troll.

>>51110699

You are quite correct, got muddled up with a fan-made set of stats for the Phase 1 and 3 droids.

>>51110837

The Corran build is what? PTL - Engine Upgrade - R2D2 and FireCon right? Make the improvement a Modification that wont make up for the loss of Corrans boost action then.

>>51109492
>>51110912
Not really.
>>51109598
Said it best, Rogue One is great for World Building and effects, not so great for character depth, especially for Jyn and Cassian, personally I feel like they weren't awful, but they certainly were underdeveloped.

The first two thirds were also rather meandering.

>>51109598
The thing is I like Star Wars for both, but movies are defined mostly by the former. As a movie I really think it's overhyped.

>>51110548
It's pretty clear at this point that part of the business model is forcing people to buy ships they don't want for the cards. See Starviper/autothrusthers as a prime example.

>>51111057
>See Starviper/autothrusthers as a prime example.
I only play Rebels and this pisses me off so much. I don't want a Scum ship at all, but I feel like I have to buy Most Wanted and the StarViper. Yeah I can go no Ebay and buy a single card but that's like $5 a card, and I'm better off just buying the damn model.

At least with MW I get a Y-Wing and 2 Z-95's to add to my Rebel fleet (Can you use the Scum movement dial on a Rebel Y?)

>>51110961
>not so great for character depth, especially for Jyn and Cassian
I disagree. They had more character depth than anything seen in the prequels, and arguably more than any character from the OT who was not Luke, Han, Chewie, or Leia.

>>51111205
Scum player here, and I don't even like the StarViper. Also, were are our Extra Munitions?

>Can you use the Scum movement dial on a Rebel Y?
Can't see a reason not to.

>>51111205
Why do you need Autothrusters as Rebels? The only ships that can use it are the T-70, and the A-Wing. The former gets by just fine without it by giving it Integrated Astro, or Vectored Thrusters. The A-Wing certainly can use it, and it helps when up against turrets... But you can also do well by giving the A-Wing Guidance Chips and a Procket, or even just Chaardan + Crackshot and something else for the second EPT.

The biggest ships that live and die by Autothrusters, are Interceptors, Inquisitor Ties, Starvipers, and Protectorate Starfighters. So really the Starviper to get Autothrusters sucks the most for Imperial.

>>51111310
>Chaardan + Crackshot and something else for the second EPT.

I'm confused, what are you putting in the modification slot in this don't-need-autothrusters-build?

>>51111289
In the K-Wing with your Twin Laser Turrets for your Y-Wing spam.

Also, every Scum player should at least try the Starviper once or twice. Specifically Guri or Xizor. It's a lot of fun to fly, and surprisingly potent despite it's cost. Xizor with Title, VI, and Fire Control alongside a swarm of Zs or something big, is awesome. And Guri slots nicely in with any Mindlink formation.

So do most people only focus on a single faction in X-Wing? Because that sounds really limiting. I just got into it by Christmas, and have enough ships of all three to keep a variety of options

>>51111353
Nothing, usually. PtL makes for a nice 21pt addition. Juke is exactly 20 and allows you to take 5 of them if you spam the fuckers. Otherwise you could always just go Adaptability for second EPT, and Stealth device, at 21pts. Or just leave the mod slot empty for an 18pt A-Wing with Crackshot and Adaptability.

>>51111057

Alternatively, they may have decided they don't want to support some cards.

That said, they're getting better about some things - U-Wing came with two copies of Stealth Device, something Rebels didn't have before. Rebel TIE will come with a new VI, Upsilon has two copies of Snap Shot for Imps, and two Ion Projector, Quadjumper has Thermal Detonators.

Just needs to find an opportune spot which isn't in faction.

>>51111401

It's cheaper, easier to plan. I've been steadily buying Rebs and Imps and yet to jump to scum because while I'm interested in some of the ships (*coughFangFightercough*) and gonna probably have to buy StarViper for AT and AC, but Most Wanted is expensive.

>>51111401
No. Most people branch off and play more than one faction, because you really don't need more than a couple of ships to play any of them. The Starter gets you the beginnings of both Empire and Rebel. There are the occasional "fanatics" for a given faction, but they're comparatively uncommon. Usually someone focuses towards one faction in particular, and at the very least dabbles with the others.

>>51111401
I "main" scum, but buy some ships from the other two factions because:
1. It's nice to have enough at home for non-collecting friends to play with
2. it's nice to sometimes try out other factions.
3. I'm a general fan of star wars ships and could do with having some cool ones on display.

But getting a "full" set of everything you need to run all the lists you want is expensive, so I for economic reasons I focus on one.

Just picked up the core rulebook for Edge of the Empire and starting to figure out what kind of campaign I want to do. The core dice mechanic looks fun as fuck but it's a different sort of campaign than I'm used to running so I'm not sure what I want to base it around (right now I'm leaning towards centering it on a fledgling colony being established by some people trying to avoid the Empire and other troubles).
