Is one set of the RPG dice enough for most games? I ordered some but now I'm eyeing picking p the Force Awakens starter box for the galactic map it has, but can't really justify buying the whole box if that's the only thing I can use.

Sure looks like it. I mean, how else are you gonna run a swarm of them?

>>51112233
>dem digits tho

>>51112314
There are also two sets of unknown upgrades presumably for the Scyk

>>51112314
What are those yellow tokens to the left? They look similar to extra munitions, but with illicit symbols?

>>51112358
Scyk swarms seem more efficient then Tie swarms now

>>51112393

With five copies of each, probably. We'll see if people can make some heads or tails of the image. Looks like the usual three titles for the C-ROC. We know there are two new unique crew, and HLT which is C-ROC only.

>>51112155
I use two sets and it covers all my needs, one is a light for some of your more experienced character rolls.

>>51112425

Not sure. It might just be mission tokens, we'll probably have to wait for a full preview.

>>51112183
FUCK it's not the Minstrel.

Or the old black Sun Gozanti. (I just want a Gozanti without the "mouth" filled in like the imperial one is okay?)

>>51112314
Is that Jabba? At the far right, middle of the upgrade pile? It's the mothafucking Hutt of Hutts.

>>51112314
Those seem like Arc Caster cannon upgrades

>>51112425
Probably illicit cargo tokens for missions

>>51112385

BTW, him and Azmorgian here set a pretty good precedent for cards to come - the ability to use other upgrade cards to switch upgrades on the fly. Imagine one with the ability to do Torps or Missiles?

Another interesting fact, Vizago is not huge only and zero points (which means he's a good pick for the Quad) but he also has the Cargo icon. Possibly hinting of more Cargo upgrades to come in Standard Format?

>>51112358
Basically that just makes it's 3 speed bank maneuvers green, removes mod, hits = crits, and for -2pts. FUCKING SOLD! I'll happily run some shitty 12-pt Scyks!

>>51112533
I hope not, because that further decreases our chances of ever seeing a Minstrel star yacht.

>>51111836

If you are thinking of running a colony/outpost game, the Colonist Career book has rules for running settlements which may be worth a look.

>>51112183
Looks interesting. It seems like it's designed to be able to play both of the existing Epic roles, support transport and gunboat.
I wonder what they're gonna make for the other scum epic?

>>51112533

I am hearing reports of a "The Hutt" upgrade card, so it might be the Jabba.

>>51112679
You can see the card. It clearly says Jabba the Hutt and has his likeness on it.

>>51112580
Those two crew who swap upgrades out for equal or cheaper upgrades, is so fucking dirty and scum themed. I fucking love it!

I remember seeing this ages ago.

>>51112714
It was obviously fake.

>>51112533

It definitely says '_________ the Hutt' but the name looks to long to be 'Jabba'. The art certainly looks like Jabba, though.

>>51112742
It has the dot in front of "Jabba" designating it as unique

>>51112393
>>51112441
I'm guessing it is stuff NOT for the Scyk.

Also if that is a PS 9 Scyk I quit right now.

>>51112798
Don't see anything looking like a 9.

>>51112712

Vizago is a black market dealer too, so it makes perfect sense.

>"Oh, you do not like this product? Don't worry, Vizago will go in the back and get you something new"

>>51112798
One of them seems like a cannon upgrade. And Pilot skills for the Scyk look like 2, 5, 1, 3, 8 and 7.

>>51112629
Oh god I hope not. I really hate the idea that they won't give the Minstrel or Crusader a go.

>>51112798
Nope. I don't see a PS 9 Scyk. I see the PS 2 Cartel, the PS 5 Tansari, and then a 6, a 3, a 7, and what looks like a PS 1. Which would be hilarious.

>>51112425
Jabba is going to be an illicit extra munitions

>>51112963
>>51112841

I can't quite make the detail out myself, but some people are saying they think the PS1 has a unique dot, also.

>>51112963
Didnt even think about the PS1. The light PS2 is already costed the same as an Academy Pilot. It seems they are breaking their "no ships cheaper then TIEs" rule.

>>51113007
An uniquely shitty pilot, then.

>>51113022
Since the PS1 is unique, it's possible it has some sort of pilot ability to make up for it and thus remain 12+

>>51113022
Unless the PS1 has an insanely amazing ability and is expensive as hell because of it, something like any ship that ends its movement at range 1 of it gets a focus.

>>51113037

A PS1 with a pilot ability, who could cost less than a TIE... That'll be, well, something.

I assume I've been looking in the wrong places, but it seems a lot of x-wing lists these days focus on larger ships. Why is that?

>>51113096
Mostly just the Scum lists because they lack good small ships. (Now with the exception of the Protectorate Starfighters)

Empire is either focused on Aces with a Palpmobile support or Defenders.

Rebel large ships are all right but I don't see them as that big of a threat currently. K-Wings is where it's at.

>The PS1 Pilot is unique but it's special ability is about how fucking horrible it is as a pilot

>>51112841
I'm pretty sure the cannon one begins with an "A". Do we know of any significant SW space weaponry that begins with A?

>>51113127
>Friendly ships ending their activation next to the Bosses' nephew receive 1 stress token.

>>51113183
Cannon seems to be "Arc....."

My guess is Arc Caster.

>>51113183

Looks like it says "Arc". Some kind of electric weapon?

>>51113096
Also from what I hear people stray away from swarmy lists for tournaments because its more mentally draining tracking all those ships over a long event and still flying properly. Its easier to keep track of, and plan for fewer ships.

>>51113223
From the wook:
>The weapon used a charge function to prepare a blast of electricity at the target which, when fully charged, could affect up to four other targets.

...my body is ready.

>>51113239
That is exactly why Defenders and Dengaroo are so common in tournametn play. They are powerful lists that are very simple to fly.

>>51113253

>Heavy Syck swarm with AoE cannons just fucking everybody up

>>51113307
So, a range-1 weapon that always attacks all possible targets? Sign me the fuck up.

No, wait, I have no interest in epic play and no budget to spend that much on pieces of paper.

>>51113353
Just print the list on paper. I won't tell anybody.

>>51113022
I don't think he'll be cheaper than the Cartel PS 2. He'll likely be the shittiest named pilot in the galaxy, with one redeeming ability to him. Something like "Bumbles McChucklefuck - 14pts. When destroyed, every ship within R1 suffers 1 hit."

>>51113396

>Shin-E Krome
>"When you are destroyed, make a primary weapon attack against every enemy ship on the board"

>>51113396
>>51113546
What about his special ability just making him nearly impossible to kill? Like he's a terrible fucking pilot but he's not going anywhere

>>51112435
Just how do light scyks and TIEs compare?
On the durability side, I think one shield but all damage faceup versus three standard hull is roughly equal. The dials are difficult to compare, the light scyk definitely have more green but lacks the usefull 3-turns and 5-forwards, and I'm not sure 1-banks makes up for it. Once again, I'm calling equal, but with a slight leaning in favor for TIEs.
Which leaves action bar, and here scyks straights up wins for having target lock, but it's not a huge win.
Aand I almost forgot, cheapest scyk have PS2 vs academy pilots PS1, so that's another scyk win.

>>51113167
>Mostly just the Scum lists because they lack good small ships.

By good do you mean like "top tier viable"? Or do you mean like if I run a group of smaller s&v ships I'll have weaknesses that can be easily abused?

>>51113652
Are you telling me they put Jar-Jar in that ship?

>>51113675
Not him, but it's the first one, although slightly worse than "not top-tier". Scum Y-wings and Headhunters works perfectly fine.

>>51113675
A little bit of both really. You can still play friendly games with them but they are point inefficient or try to fit some utility niche that is already fulfilled by some of the bigger and stronger ships. Except the Protectorate Starfighters, those are just Badass af.

>>51113675

I believe most S&V small ships are just slightly points inefficient - as in you don't always get your full value for your ship. The Protectorate, and scum versions of other ships are pretty solid, though some guy won a regional with like, 3 G1-As with Mindlink and FCS.

>>51113751
>>51113675

Oh yeah, I completly forgot about the Y-wings. Y-wings are amazing, they just can be a bit boring to play with.

>>51113652
Would probably work too. Or simply his ineptitdue makes him unpredictable, and PS 12 for maneuver purposes only.

>>51113396
>Zayne Carrick: Scum Edition
I can dig it.

>>51113662
TIEs also win because of the support they get from Howlrunner. Scyks have Serissu and maybe whatever unrevealed pilots they will get.

>>51113797
Yes, both Headhunters and Y's are good support and filler material, but to make a interesting list they need something fun to support, and for that there's either the Protectorate or (any) big ship.

>>51113662
The damage face up is a huge hit for them, which I think will ultimately balance it out. A Crit, followed by a hit, against a Light Scyk, could easily amount to shield gone (crit) and faceup Direct Hit card.

>>51113662
Also, no mod slot on the Light Scyk.

>>51113877
As if TIE swarms ever used mod slots.

>>51113856
Yeah, but the same thing would kill a TIE.

>>51113845
Good point including support pilots, and since red dice are better than green I agree that Holrunner wins out.

>>51113845
TIEs also have Youngster, and some damn fine/cheap pocket-ace pilots.

>>51113895
True. But a TIE with one damage, and a Scyk Light without a shield, that take a single hit, is going to be a huge difference in itself.

>>51113893
Some do. Dark Curse with a Stealth Device is pretty decent. And Night Beast with Tie Mk 2 isn't shabby.

>>51113995
Okay, for aces I can see it, but for base pilots it really does not matter.

>>51113234
>>51113253
So essentially a Ganathan Lightning Gun sized for fighters?
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_gun

I'm cool with that. I can finally get my SNES sidescroller shooter nostalgia on with boomerang-shaped lightning projectiles

>>51114232
Swarms of junk, no it won't... But it does make a difference for the named Scyks. Serissu isn't going to want a Light Scyk, and neither will Laetin.

>>51114389

We are getting a couple of new Syck pilots though. They may have self-stressing abilities where the banks might aid them, for instance.

Hondo crew?

>>51114354

I like the idea of like, a cheap R1 cannon which attacks all possible targets. It's not super useful on the meta scale because Swarms aren't as popular, but given how predictable some ships are imagine being able to potshot at say, multiple /x7s at the same time.

>>51114535
At the end of the round roll 1 red die and on a crit your ship jumps out from play

Jakku Gunrunner (15)
Cikatro Vizago (0)
Seismic Charges (2)
Cloaking Device (2) (Swap for Scavenging Crane after cloaking)
Spacetug Tractor Array (2)

You can cloak first turn, stay cloaked forever and continually re-equip yourself with bombs.

>>51113945
it's not huge.
It's a thing, but it's not a huge thing. It's going to cause a max of one extra face up card.
Now that extra face up card could be bad, but it's against a 12pt ship, so no big woop. And that max, not standard. If it was a crit, no difference, if there would have been one extra damage that turn, no difference.

The green 3 bank also is a tiny difference. FFG spent a whole lot of text for very minimal effect, as all of that text matters far less then -2 pt cost.

>>51113909
I'm super curious to see if the new pilots include some decent pocket-ace pilots or even just mid PS uniques that can take advantage of the now better Heavy Scyke.

>>51115035
Dont you have to roll to stay cloaked?

>>51111809
Always. I pick out what I want, tell my players that's how it works, and stick to it. It becomes its own "canon."

>>51115515
Yes....if you have a cloaking device equipped. But if you trash it you stay permanently cloaked.

>>51115035
I think you're over-estimating your ability to renew stuff with the scavenger crane.

>>51115611

Pretty sure that's not how it works.

>>51115439

I think they're just trying to do thematic things besides just Chardaan -2 points/lose slot things.

>>51115719
I have to say, "All damage cards are dealt face-up" is a pretty good way to represent all armor plating being striped away.

>>51115661
Disregard that, I read it again and fuck, that totally is how it works.

>>51115767

And no mods is "yeah, we got rid of all the hardpoints so it's cheaper".

More of an FnD side arc, but my players recently stormed an imperial facility to free a bunch of press-ganged workers from a repair and and salvage facility.

They had to first acquire speeder trucks and some explosives from an ally, then sneak in. They triggered the alarm after freeing the workers, and then blew a facility wall to haul out the workers. Showdown was with an AT-DP that they took out with the remaining explosives and the two lightsaber equipped PCs.

For Armada, does anyone know where to get extra stands for ships? Mel's miniatures on Shapeways has alot of awesome EU ships available to print, but I can't find any stands for sale anywhere. CorSec Engineering and Litko have stands for Xwing but not Armada.

>I would ask on their forums, but they are a negative and hateful enough place to make 4chan look overwhelmingly warm and fuzzy.
Jesus, I really can't imagine what that's like.

At any rate, a cursory search shows that Mel's have a bunch of stands and pegs available (though there doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to their pricing regimen). Short of that, you might try going down to your local hobbystore and asking if they have any spare stands/pegs they'd be willing to give/sell you.. If they're the decent sort then I'm sure they could help you out a bit.

Here's a list of the first few armada stands I saw on shape-ways.

Hey /swg/, have any of you guys run a game around the time of the Knights of the Old Republic vidya games? Any stories you'd like to share for inspiration?

My group is wanting to play Jedi, and I don't know if I should start the campaign before the first game or after the second. Both have merits, the first option having a lot of memorable names and events that I can spin differently for the campaign and have my group involved in. But I'm also afraid of potential meta-gaming, and me falling into the rut of "retelling the game's plot but WITH PLAYER CHARACTERS!" The other option is a lot more open, with the Republic, Jedi and the Sith recovering after the conflicts of the games.

Ah, I see you've discovered the problem with our cunning plan.

Or at least, a problem.

>>51120001
So things go reasonably well. We'd finally got the C-9979s refitted and ready to fly, and our first batch of 6,000 battle droids - give or take - was ready and loaded. We didn't have specialized loading clamps or anything. We just packed 'em in as tight as we could and hoped for the best.

Unfortunately, the C-9979s didn't have hyperdrives. Luckily we had half a spare corvette lying around, and with a bit of welding and few docking clamps, it would do just fine as an improvised hyperspace tug.

There were a few other problems. We'd run out of proper materials about halfway through the final batch, so some of Team Retard Magnet were chrome plated (as planned), bare metals, missing arms, or extremely bendy about the legs.

We did discover enough white and black starship paint to make 100 "Stormtrooper" battle droids, for all the good they did. Anyway, "Dengo the Hutt's Unstoppable Invasion Fleet" was ready to go.

Team Retard Magnet smacked into Tashibal Station and the "Insufferable", their Star Destroyer target, five minutes before the other ships hit. Madness promptly ensued.

How do you balance starship encounters? Is throwing a pair of TIEs at a YT-2400 a reasonable encounter at low levels?

>>51120386

How many PCs do you have who can shoot? Assuming minions - even with house rules that should be one dead TIE every combat check. So think about that.

See, we'd programmed the droids to use Imperial comms and shout Imperial orders. We'd given them a few examples and let them iterate, just to cause additional havoc. The goal was to have the minimal garrison running in 10 directions at once, or completely ignoring orders.

Problem is, the battledroids started to change channels. Eventually they were using all the channels. We couldn't talk to each other. We couldn't tell what the Imperials were doing, or how well /we/ were doing. It was a bit of a problem.

And then the Elite Tie Fighter Droids found the hangar bay and all hell properly broke loose. At first it went well - they stole all the Tie Fighters they could find, and then all the Tie Shuttles, and then the commander's personal shuttle, the grav tugs, and the fuel tanker.

Unfortunately we'd only programmed them to fly Tie Fighters... so the other ships more or less tore themselves apart. The shuttle made it remarkably far while rolling.

While our incompetent droids kept the actual Tie Fighter pilots busy for a few minutes, they also started shooting down each other for being "impostors!" or "Rebel Scum!" or "not rolling enough!"

But it didn't matter. Teams 2 and 3 had hit, and met minimal resistance. Everything was going well until we discovered our true target, the "Unstoppable", was out of fuel.

This presented a bit of a problem. We could blast the docking clamps free - in fact, our over-eager droids just started blasting anything they could see - but we were effectively running on battery power. We couldn't maneuver or escape. Dengo started hyperventilating.

Luckily, our ever-ready astromech R0-K0 had a plan. We didn't need engine power to jump to hyperspace.

And so, flushed with success, we hit the big red button and more or less tore the dockyard apart in our wake. But hey, we were free! Free and rich!

But R0-K0 was notoriously unlucky. He chose a planet and a system so far off the beaten path that /nobody/ would think to follow us here.

Unfortunately, the Rebel Alliance had the same idea, and they'd been hiding out for ages.

So that's where we ended. A slightly damaged, nearly completely depowered Star Destroyer filled with idiotic battle droids, some of whom were still raving about "rebel scum!", drifting straight for the ultra-secret, extremely well armed Rebel Fleet.

I ran a campaign where the PCs were all students of the Jedi that the Exile left behind to rebuild. So each person picked a mentor out of the pool of Atton (who two people had a roll off for being their mentor), Bao-Dur, Mical, Visas, Brianna, and Mira. Their first job as a team was to go to Glee Ansem and investigate rumors of a Sith cell. They managed to sneak into the base, and get the locations of a bunch of places someone mentioned in the logs as D.K. had located force sensitive children. From there, they had a bunch of places to pick from to track down a force sensitive kid. At each successive location, I made sure the local darksiders tracking down the kids were further along, until at the last one they weren't able to keep the kid out of their hands. That's when they met Darth Konsul, a Theelin woman who was trying to rebuild the Sith as kind of a jewish mother. After they ran away dragging a couple unconcious PCs, and contacted the council back on coruscant about her, the game kinda fell apart since some people moved out of state. I wasn't sure how to continue anyway.

I want to use squads involving U-Wings & X-Wings, how hard am I going to get pupstomped at my FLGS' weekly XW night tomorrow:

Make Wedge Great Again
>Wedge Antilles - Expertise, R2-D2, Vectored thrusters
>Notorious B.I.G.G.S - R7 Astromech, IA
>Heff Tobber - Fire Control, Jyn Erso, Jan Ors, Anti-Pursuit Lasers, Pivot-Wing

I'm thinking of changing Heff to Cassian with Adaptability and ditching the APL.

I had a game the other day that was a lot of fun, my squad was 3x Rookie X's with R7s+IA, and a Blue U-Wing with Tactician & Operations Specialist, and I won against a double Resistance Sympathizer squad (both with Hotshot & Gunner) and the re-match later. The X's took locks to either use for defense or attack, and when one of them missed the next one got a focus.

>>51121208
Jyn-Jan's Jamming Jukes doesn't work as well (or, as often) as you want. I've tried it twice to no avail.

Wedge will do pretty well unless he bursts into flames in the first turn of combat. Same for Biggs. Basically the match will be mostly decided on the first round of rolling.

Even your best-case scenario was going to be selling the ship, probably to the Rebellion (but possibly also to a Hutt).

Still, even selling it at a huge discount because it is (1) used, (2) stolen, (3) pretty fucking obvious, and (4) out of fuel, it is an amazing heist. A new VSD with just the standard features has a sticker price of 50 million credits.

>>51120575
Probably would've worked better if you programmed them to only use imperial channels to spam false warnings and maneuvers recorded through an imperial pilot helmet, and gave them some way to identify allies from unregistered combatants. Would've been less chaotic than schizophrenic attack pilots

>>51121788
I mean, it'd still be chaotic, but a little more successful on your end since you'd still have the leftovers for other attacks. Assuming you didn't forget to paint yourself as their allies

We did program to only use Imperial channels. They started to use others when the Imperial channels became unusable.

We have a Hutt! He'd never sell it to another Hutt.

And besides, it'd be hard to move it without fuel.

We were originally hoping to use it to extort money out of backwater worlds, but selling it for a cool 20 million credits is also good, especially if we either steal it back afterwards or steal another, nicer but more manageable ship.

Well it depends. Im not a fan of the old republic stuff because it can only get older and stupider at this point. I do enjoy and include the darth bane era stuff for darkside games with my players, but mostly i use time periods +/- 7 years of endor. Still have the OT and some post like bakurra and thrawn when needed, but not the vong. though.. i do enjoy reading Aaron Alstons Rebel Dream and Rebel Dawn duo for essentially another Rouge/Wraith squadron story and usually drop the Force Unleashed stuff just because i feel it kind of forces itself into cannon instead of playing along.

For example right now im writing a rough plot for a pre-Ep5 rebel game about working with a rebel taskforceled by Urias Xhalin[sic] (that i remember from the old rpg stuff) to help end the Twilek slave trade and shutdown the outer rim metal trade to Rothana drive yards to prevent continued building of star dreadnaughts for the Imperial Navy, of which one is being built above Rothana. They also helped "liberate" some cargo airspeeders to the Echo Taskforce led by general Riekan for help setting up the new Secret Base.

Lots of nods and fedora tipping to the cannon, without meeting the Big names. they enjoy feeling Important.

Some of the Force Unleashed stuff is pretty good. Keeps a few motifs, but sounds quite a bit different.

I guess I'm looking for more "sweeping" pieces than "immediate" pieces. I've got a folder of musical cues like "Imperial Intro 3 - 1m32s", so I can mix a soundtrack on the fly.

>So is the C-ROC from the same line or manufacturer as the Gozanti? The front 2/3rds of the ships are really similar and the middle thirds are identical aside from the cargo containers.
It is quite literally a variant of the base Gozanti, same as the imperial model is

>>51122344
Well that's a little disappointing, though I guess Scum already has a reputation for getting tweaked versions of other factions shit and the Gozanti is a good looking ship to copy. Would be nice if it had a unique gimmick like the docking clamps though but maybe that will come in the cargo slots.

>>51122400
>Well that's a little disappointing, though I guess Scum already has a reputation for getting tweaked versions of other factions shit and the Gozanti is a good looking ship to copy
I mean, the Gozanti base model was a mass-market civilian-ish freighter that the imps bought a militarized version of. It really just makes sense for scum to have a specialized pirate/smuggler modification of the thing

Blaster have a laser in them to heat up the gas and then it just pukes it over whatever the heck its pointed at.

Turbolasers function on a similar way, but with a number of mechanical changes in the way they throw the bolt so to speak. A few types of them even use a canister charge full of gas which is loaded into them like an artillery piece

I like the look of the YT-2400. I'm going to give them a beat up clunker version of one, mostly flavor, but the ship at this point is patches upon patches, and often has a couple of mechanical quirks and bugs the Mechanic will need to smooth over. Thoughts?

>>51123478
Reminds me of the YT-2400 that was in Rebels.

>>51123478
>quirks and bugs the Mechanic will need to smooth over.
maybe the turrets have a faulty targeting system that causes them to occasionally mistake passing ships and stations as hostiles; so when they want to dock with a station or ship they have to cut power to the weapons to keep them from firing on the docking clamp.

or Maybe the original reactor for the ship was lost and the previous owner replaced it with one from a Z-95, so it tends to overheat, a lot; also can't jump into hyperspace unless everything else is shut off (a portable generator left in the hallway powers the life support so it can be left running)

in some of the corridors there is a weird stain on the walls and floor, not sure what it is but nothing seems to clean it off.

Do it.

Tips:

When all else fails, pick a TN and have them roll a skill. Shit, I do most of our space combat this way/narratively.

Give your players a story. The various WEG published adventures are good places to start, but think bigger.

Don't prep too much and expect the unexpected. Don't have one guy need to stay alive or get dead for a plot to work, 'cause the "wild die" mechanic is a plot derailment device. But it's fun. I enhance it some - for each additional 6 on the wild die after the first, I give the PC a free pip in the rolled skill to simulate natural ability growth. Modify for your preferences.

Force stuff can be intimidating unless you're a rules lawyer. I've simplified it further by making it two rolls: one to center oneself, the other to use the Force itself. Using the Force without being centered can give Dark Side points and makes most things harder. But none of this control+sense+alter nonsense. You've either got the Force or you don't. Your milage may vary.

If the PCs are within striking range of Vader at the end of their turn, roll a new character sheet.

I want to start a campaign on Scarif right after the Death Star's blast.

I want the players to be a group of rebels that somehow survived the blast and now need to make it off world to rejoin the Rebellion

The visuals would be that of red burning trees and islands in the distance, ash and embers flowing in the air. The smoldering ruins of what's left of the communications tower. Dark stormy weather, caused by the blast.

A few Imperial Troops paroling sent in as clean up duty, and to survey the damages. Think the Bikini Atoll after the atomic Bomb.

The only way I can think of to have survived would have been to steal a different Imperial transport and hop to a distant island. It's plausible enough.

If I were you, I'd start it with the Battle of Scarif itself. The PCs could be the reinforcements dropped off by the U-Wings.

Timing will be tricky, but it might work.

Plus you get to include Radtroopers.

>The ship is full of smuggling compartments that not even the owners are all aware of. However dock officials seem to have a knack for finding them, and many *still* contain ill-gotten goods from the previous owner.

>The ships nav computer has the unnerving tendancy to log routes with a 2% accuracy loss each system... which compounds with greater distances.

Forgot to mention, they need to crash their stolen ship from the blast wave. That's a good start to a campaign.

>>51123651
The hyperdrive, when it is used, is shoddily held together just well enough that every jump is turbulent and pantsthitingly terrifying since it feels like it's gonna tear apart. You get used to it after a while, though.

Oh, and be careful when you gotta shit, flushing the toilet tends to disable the sensors for a minute or two (thanks to faulty wiring and shortcuts made before), leaving you flying by sight alone until it kicks back on it's a squat toilet to better accommodate alien waste expulsion

Meh, it was a solid GTA game set in the Old West. It was a little shallow, and *LONG* in a bad way, but the story was decent, the setting was well realized, and the alternate costumes were neat. I can't even think of any other games like it aside from GUN.

What are the typical stats of storm troopers?

>>51125177
a 3 in brawn, agility, and will power, and a 1 in presence
stormtrooper armor gives +2 soak

>>51125322
Double those stats. Death troopers are the elite of the elite.

Plus they have heavy repeating blasters, and if they're an option, thermal imploders

>>51125382
at that point they become rivals instead of minions
making them roughly equivalent to PCs on a 1-to-1 basis

giving them repeating blasters means that anything but overleveeld parties will be instagibbed by them

they are weak to the force

>>51125382
>3 stats at 6
I'm pretty sure that makes the imperial guard look like skrubs. Brawn and willpower at 4 might be more reasonable.

>>51125382
a 6 in a stat makes you superhuman

I'm not familiar with the games outside X-wing, so I took a stab at it. Adjust wherever you think they need it to be a serious threat, but not insurmountable foes. If they gib a player or two, then sacrifices will hopefully not have been in vain. But keep them small hitsquads, no more than two people more than the total party. So six death troopers to four rebels

does stormtrooper armor have air filters? Like if The Empire were to deploy chemical weapons to a combat area would the stormtroopers be unaffected? or would they need specialized armor to operate in that theater?

>>51126907
In legends they have filters and either a five or twenty minute internal air supply.

New canon they can seal tight but don't have an air supply or rebreather as standard. Filters keep out basic contaminants like smoke and dust and extra gear can be plugged in for more.

>>51126520
Not really. The advanced is pretty big

>>51126520
It's a little big, yeah. The cockpit window looks to be big enough for Vader to stand upright in.

>>51126520
People generally underestimate the size of TIEs.

>>51124317
you might find a shuttle or some ties in the wreckage

How cheese of a starting build is drall droid tech 2/2/5/2/2/2 ?

Disclaimer: I'm not trying to fuck up someone's game, just exploring the possibilities.

>>51126907
>>51126944

First Order Stormtrooper armour does not (I believe it is explained away as a cost-cutting measure, same with the lack of integrated fancy optics for their helmets), but I think the original Stormtrooper armour does.

That said, I imagine that Chemical Weapons in the Star Wars universe would be intended to overpower most standard filters, so there would likely be fancy variants for it.

I'd recommend Braylen Stramm instead, honestly. Sure he can't deadeye, but he might shed self-stress from the bot too, which will mean he can have actions freed up to TL. And he costs less. Biggs as cover is common for ARCs.

Also, title is an auto-include, it's 0 points you should never not put it on the ARC.

kenobi might not be the lead if it's an anthology. could be told from the perspective of an admiral or a non-clone trooper, or some dude that kenobi hangs out with on tatooine

>>51130717
Honestly, though I'd way rather Ewan, I can see Michael Fassbender doing a pretty bang-up job.

>>51130717
Maybe Ewan is just asking for "too much" for his acting talents.

Fucking Toydarians at hollywood!

>>51130717
I guess it depends on when the movie takes place, if it's clone wars era Ewan would be preferred but if it's supposed to be before episode 1 or in between 1 and 2 he might look too old now.

>>51130841

Well before episode 1, I'd def not mind another actor.

But if it's before episode iv and we have ronin Ben Yojimbo in space then I'd rather an older Ewan. We just rezzed Tarkin for the big screen nearly to perfection too lol

>>51130717
I hope they stick with Ewan, especially if he wants to play the role so badly.

Fassbender is a good choice otherwise.

McGregor is literally 5 years older than Fassbender. It's not even remotely believable. Slap a beard on him and he looks like a more weathered Obi-Wan circa Ep 3; the guy's aged pretty well.

I wouldn't even mind McGregor doing more stuff as Obi-Wan. It'd probably be leagues better than whatever that Han Solo abortion is.

It could be good, just add the bounty hunters

>>51132287
I agree with you that it's too early to condemn it, but I must also say I disagree with their choice of actor.

>>51132357
Nah, let the bounty hunters have their own movie. Have at least one double-cross every fifteen minutes and it'll be gold.
