Poe and Biggs with either a K-wing or another X-wing (either type). HotR is also a solid buy for a player starting out.

Imperials get slightly more tricky in terms of needing cards, but you really shouldn't be afraid to proxy when you are just starting.

>>51231848
I legit hope you're screwing with us.

I don't mind the addition of a force expansion, it would actually give some needed abilities to pilots that aren't so great, but those ship expansions sound awful.

FFG really just needs to take a breather, figure out the ships that really need help for all the factions, figure out some new cool stuff they can all do for others, and give out another Most Wanted style expansion for all three in place of a wave of new stuff.

Put in some new cardboard for some of the ships we don't need another of, like the Lambda or the YV.

Also reprint some of the old pilots to make them not totally suck, give Horton and Kir Kanos EPTs, reduce points on Rhymer, that sort of thing. Really get some of the kinks of the Wave 1-4 design totally out of the system.

>>51233026

>>51233113

I'm personally not opposed to the Aggressor (a TIE with a Turret), I just personally think the other options are unlikely.

Light Syck just became a thing, so why the fuck to Scum need a new swarm option? And what the fuck is the gunship going to add? I guess technically it's space-worthy, but it's not exactly new.

Also, Scum are a ship behind again, 14 to 15 so it'll probably be another wave with two scum ships, something they'll need to do if movies keep getting +1 Imperial and Rebel ship tacked on in new waves.

>>51233113
a turret TIE doesn't sound terrible. ATM imperials don't have anything that can equip turrets, and only the deci even has a turret primary.
I know people want the TIE experimentals, but I don't see how most of those add well to the faction.
the other two do sound awful.

I kind of am opposed to Imperials getting TLTs. At the very least, the TIE with a turret needs to either be expensive or as crappy as the other turret ships such that it matches the power curve that TLTs were made to fill.

>Scum are a ship behind again

I really don't care at this point. They're obviously going to be getting another epic and the next aces pack. So they're going to have good small ships with their best large ships. They'll be fine.

>>51233443

Yeah, but in terms of ships, they're still behind. FFG has pretty consistently evened the playing field in terms of bringing Scum up to speed in the past with multiple NEW Scum ships per wave. Aces and Epic are still counted outside of Wave releases - accounting for Wave X Scum are down 1 ship on Imperials and Rebels, because of course Rebels and Imps get an extra ship for Rogue One. So, next wave will probably give them two ships - because if they let it go until Wave XII, then Imps and Rebs will be getting another bonus ship each for Episode 8.

>>51233605

Note, I mean scum are down a ship in regular Wave terms - to be specific. Scum are also down an Epic and either down a Core or down an Aces depending on how you want to look at Most Wanted.

Black Sun Aces is almost assuredly a thing though.

I know I'm probably making a lot of suboptimal choices but I don't have a big upgrade library. Any glaring problems with the list, though?

>Yeah, but in terms of ships, they're still behind.

And why does that matter?

I mean, it did when the faction first came out, but now they've got virtually every base covered when compared to Rebels and Imps, and on top of that have vastly better large ships.

The quality of ship releases matters a hell of a lot more than the number, and out of all of Wave X Scum easily got the best ship in the Quadjumper. Tractor beam for an action is insane, and only more insane because you can stack with Ketso crew and Shadowcaster title.

Also, seriously, epic ships and aces packs are usually better than a new ship release in terms of what it does for the faction.

>>51233647
Determination isn't really worthwhile, and I'm skeptical of the idea of bothering with a Z95 ace that wants to be out on his own.

>TFW I realize that Thrawn and Galen Erso are brothers

>>51233711

I mean, I don't know if it matters, but it's math.

Imps and Rebels have 15 ships each. If the trend continues with movies (though obviously, with the Han Solo anthology it's possible for scum to get the bonus release), Rebels and Imps will get another extra ship. And then again for nine. Scum don't play catch up sometime, they will just plain have less releases than the other factions - that's not good for them. The design space will keep expanding, Scum will just straight up have less content. And those new options are important - and especially important when they don't necessarily come with like giant price tag for one small ship bundled in an Epic. It's not good for Scum players, and it's not good for FFG selling to scum players if they literally have less models to sell that faction.

>>51233840
What

>the only way a Sith, or other darksider could make use of a kyber crystal was to use the Force to dominate the crystal, bending it to their will. This process would cause the crystal to "bleed", as if it were a living organism, resulting in the distinctive crimson-bladed lightsabers synonymous with the Sith.
If this is the case and the death star is powered by kyber crystals, why are the lasers green rather than red?

>>51233917
The Death star is just using them as a power source for the turbolaser. Lightsabers use them as a focusing element.

>>51233917
they dont need the force to use the laser-properties of a kyber crystal

>>51233917
And yet darkside force users can pick up and wield normal sabers fine, lol

>>51233877
literally the last wave there was 2 scum ships.
You're an idiot for saying that they need to do something to prevent some massive discrepency from forming, when they are clearly already doing that.

>>51233949
My assumption is you can steal an already-assembled-by-a-Jedi saber and use it just fine. Actually putting your own together won't work unless you bleed the crystal.

>>51233951

You've missed what I'm saying. I started this by saying that - accounting for the new wave X - Scum are a ship behind again. So the next wave will logically be a 2 Scum wave. And they can't "skip" a wave because then they'll just stay behind. Because unless VIII literally has no new X-wing scale ships to pick from, there will be another movie tie-in twofer.

>>51233962
That seems retarded though, putting together a lightsaber is just basic technical skill.

>>51233993

Nope.

>>51233993
i think the bleeding the crystal is make the crystal sensitive to the darkside, the laser making properties are the same

>>51233443
>turret upgrade slot
>literally only TLT
I know that dorsal and blaser turrets are basiclaly HotC only, but it's kinda fucked up that the slot is only considered in terms of one option.
Ion turret at least should be in the conversation.

>>51234006
Why does it need to be sensitive to the darkside? What's it matter?

>>51233225
desu X-Wing and Armada are both suffering from roster creep already, I don't think there are that many ships they can add before they basically end up with one faction with several paintschemes

>>51233917
That's literally retarded. Unless you're talking about Master Sword tier beams from the lightsaber, why would you need to do this?

>>51233962
>>51234016
A better headcanon would be a dark jedi can force a light-attuned crystal in a lightsaber to work for them, but it takes focus and it's a pain. If they bleed it out they can focus on killing children and stealing pies off window sills.

>>51233877

I mean, you might have a point, if Scum didn't automatically have massively competitive lists from the get-go and has never really been "behind" the other factions, even in wave 6.

I don't think it's a thing you should be afraid of. They most certainly have kept them up to date, and the coming ace pack and epic ships are only going to help them more. Jabba is probably going to do something stupidly awesome and make everyone go buy a YV and Epic.

>It's not good for Scum players

And here's where your mindset needs to change. If you're serious about X-wing you should play all three factions. "Faction" players are one of the worst thing the community does, and it leads to stupid things.

>>51233978
or 3 movie tie-in ships, or they do an armada push opening up new faction/timelines, or.
You're phrasing sucked, because you made it seem like a disaster that needs to be avoided, rather than a think FFG clearly already has in hand.

>>51233993
Right up until you put a kyber crystal in. As I recall in EU you had to use the Force to move it into position because the placement was too exact. And I'm pretty sure Luke mentioned assuming as much in Heir to the Jedi for the new canon while taking apart that Rodian's lightsaber.

>>51234043
Don't ask me, senpai, ask the mouse.

>>51234049
A better headcanon would be that lightsaber crystals work like they did in the EU.

>>51233962
>>51234006
That sounds like a lot of handwaving for the baddies having red sabers and the goodies having blue ones.

Isn't it more likely they just colour their sabers so that they can tell each other apart in combat? Lightsaber fighting looks pretty distracting, I can see some wise old sith or jedi nearly killing a mate in combat and going 'fuck this, we're going red/blue' and the other side grabbing the other colour to make themselves not red/blue?

>>5123401
the lightside is powered by harmony and discipline, and the dark side is powered by anger and hate
my guess is that it is a symbolic step to making a lightsaber, it wouldnt be "proper" for a jedi to use a red saber or for a sith to use a blue one

>>51234012
I think the problem with ion is three dice with no bonuses isn't enough to reliably hit the high agility and autothruster/evading small ships most commonly being fielded and big ships shrug off the single ion token while shitting on whatever is carrying the turret.

>>51234073
In the EU, the explanation was that because the Sith didn't have reliable access to lightsaber crystals naturally (all the major deposits were Jedi controlled), they made artificial crystals, which were red.

>>51234109

>>51234012
An upgrade slot is defined by its most powerful card? Surprise?

I mean, that's what TLT, and to a lesser extent autoblaster, was designed to do. It does its job quite well. So, yes I am going to be concerned about a new ship that can take one of the most powerful upgrades in the game.

It's no different than considering the ramifications of another Imperial ship with two crew slots because of Palpatine.

ICT isn't bad, I've run it to good success myself in a SC, but it doesn't make me quake in my boots like a good Imperial TLT carrier does.

>>51234101
there werent originally any colors other than blue, but the blue didnt stand out in the sky of tatooine, so to was changed to green for contrast

in episode 2, out of the 200 jedi on geonosis there were only green and blue, and a single purple lightsaber

>>51234053

It still means theat the faction literally has less to fky and buy, and not all FFGs customers pay money to be "serious".

>>51234123
Every temple guard in Rebels has a yellow one.

anybody have a download link for Tales of the Jedi? can't find it on the old computer and we seem to be lacking in old EU download links.

>>51234101
Wouldn't surprise me. There are only 2 sith at once, coordinating your saber scheme would be fairly simple but there are thousands of jedi from a dozen odd races spread across the galaxy, it wouldn't surprise me if they had a few different schemes for different regions or groups. You know, like real world regiment colours work.

Of course the real reason is Lucas thought having more colours was cooler and the green/blue change was to differentiate Luke's self-made saber from his inherited one. Then in the prequels he just went full on rainbow with it. Being the kind of Star Wars fan that needs to explain how everything works in a property written and directed by someone that didn't give a gnat's fart for consistency is suffering.

>>51234112
Yeah you see that's pretty cool, it's simple enough that I could buy it and comes back to a fairly human reason of just not having access to good crystals. The only problem it introduces is that it should render jedi sabers a strict upgrade, which makes it surprising Vader didn't grab Kenobi's saber after killing him.

>>51234060

Well it started with that one goof and his fake ass rumors, saying only one scum in next wave when numbers make 2 seem likely. Scum with less ships aint the end of the world, but it sure seems like a shit deal for people who play Scum. Anc its poor business

Wrong way around, homie.
>Sith-made synthetic crystals created a slightly more powerful blade when energized by the dark side of the Force. Sith lightsaber blades could "break" the blade of a Jedi Saber, but such occurrences were rare.

>>51234119
>most powerful card
the level of discrepency in card power is the problem, and that utility and cost aren't enought to factor in.
While HLC is the most common cannon, Mauler canon shows up, and Ion and Tractor beam both get some consideration for cheap utility options

>>51231848
>Auzituck

Y'know as a rebel player i'm not even mad. That'd be an awesome addition if it came with some upgrades that also helped the B-Wing.

>>51234181
I think the idea is they were roughly on par (Sith sabers were a little stronger, even) but the process of creating crystals required dark side techniques, meaning the Jedi couldn't just shift focus to mass producing artificial crystals.

>>51233026

Yes. "Wormie" was a nickname Luke's friends had for him, so this guy is one of Luke's old friends.

Fucking this.

Scum don't need any extra help. Look at any regionals top 8 and you'll see at least 4-5 scum players. They're the hot thing at the moment, and if its not Jumpmasters, it'll be 4Y or Brobots.

Really I think the imps should get another bomber, the rebels should get a new knifefighter (or something that fixes the B or E or X) and Scum should get the Kom'rrk to fit the 'slow moving but durable tank' role a la the deci and the ghost. Even then they don't need it though.

>>51234493
It's fun, it's unique, and it's FFG so you know that it will remain relatively well balanced without the usual CCG shenanigans which plague other products.

>>51234493

>>51234536
>it's more expensive to play at a competitive level than X-wing
Like X-wing, you can play something very competitive with a very small investment - for example, you can play eKylo/Trooper/Trooper using only two starter kits, and play a fairly competitive deck. You needn't buy even one blind booster. It only gets expensive if you try and chase the meta.

I'm not screwing with you. But it's the internet, so people will (and should) continue to believe those rumours are lies until they are proved true. I would do the same thing if the positions were reversed.

It will be a pretty underwhelming wave on the surface, but I guess I still have hope that it will solve some issues in the game.

I haven't seen all the upgrade cards that will come with the ships, but there are some opportunities there...

The Imperial TIE could provide a new turret for all the other ships to benefit from. The Guild TIE could provide yet more "fix" cards to benefit Imperial TIEs (although Imperial-only players would be furious having to buy a Scum ship to get them... hopefully there's room on their Starviper shelf). As mentioned, the gunship might include something to help B-wings (and maybe E-wings, if it's a system card).

I have no idea how the Force expansion would be divided and packed. Theoretically it could be a dice and cards only box that helps all three factions.

Something the "Ahsoka A-wing" skeptics should consider is that A-wings have already been sighted in Episode VIII materials. So there may be more A-wing related additions than just her.

Every ship in star wars should be nigh impossible control. If all their thrusters are facing backwards how do they slow down in space? How do they turn?

To borrow from Star Trek, maybe the repilsorlifts, used to make the ship float in atmo, also work like inertial dampeners, allowing the ship to make fluid turning motions rather thanhaving to rely on vector thrust.

The X-wing, at least, has retrothrusters (the intake-looking things in front).

Well that's nice for slowing down if you've been moving exactly straight, but what about if they've turned?

You're looking in the wrong place for science fact, hit up NASA aerospace papers for how stuff works in space, star wars is all about stylised versions of a possible form made up by artists.

*Science Fantasy.

Science Fiction has to have some grounding in real science. That can mean soft sci-fi, like Star Trek and Farscape, where scientific principles are used but also worked around when the plot requires it, or hard sci-fi, like the early Expanse series, that requires basically every peice of technology to be plausible under our current understanding of the universe.

Star Wars has space magic and laser swords. That makes it Fantasy.

>>51239195
Its also got old SMG's and pistols that shoot shit, which is an easily identifiable as a weapon rather than shooting space goo, people still have other various bits of kit like walkie talkies, shit jobs working on a farm and dodgy friends who drive a space truck.
It may not be 'hard sci-fi', but that genre tends to alienate people by annoying them with techno babble, hence science fiction is often a setting much different from our own, but with the well recognised tales of adventure and character driven so that we can relate to it on a very base level.

It has elements of fantasy for sure, but fantasy by its definition is just another word for imaginative fiction

The genre that Star Wars belongs to is the science fantasy genre. There's no point in trying to backpedal. Now come criticize the stupider parts of the franchise, talk cards/minis/rpgs, or frig off.

What's a reasonable way to "back-adapt" Death Troopers into Legends' universe? Given their heavy use of cybernetics, would it make sense to write them as an ImpInt-led spin-off of Phase 0 Dark Trooper stuff?

>>51239412
Think of SF like a subgenre of Sci-fi that gives no fucks and wants to look pretty above anything else. Alternately think of it like the bastard love child of Buck Rodgers 50's sci-fi and the early swell of love for the LOTR genre of high fantasy. Whatever floats your boat.

>>51239619
I would go with them being another competing project, maybe parallel to phase 0, that didn't gain as much traction but still provided useful commando units for the Imperial Military.

>>51239619
Phase 0 dark troopers seems to be a pretty damn close fit. We know they're medically augmented in some way.

>>51239619
It doesn't really need too much adaptation, just have one of the more stealth-based branches of the empire request some Phase 0 tech for a project that isn't just cross between infantry an AT-ST.

>>51239511
>crackers are incapable of compliments

>>51239195
It's science fiction. Spess magic, or laser swords, doesn't suddebly change the rules of science fiction genre. By your half-assed arguments, Dune would be considered space fantasy.

>>51239750
>Dune would be considered space fantasy.
it is tho

>>51239171
So would B-Wings destroying capital ships.

>>51239750
Thats because Dune is Science Fantasy. You're acting like SF is a bad thing. It isn't. It's just a distinguisher. In the same way that you wouldn't mix up a crime drama and a period costume drama, you wouldn't claim that Star Wars and, say, Star Trek fall under the exact same heading. They're similar but distinct.

Phase Zero are the walking tank Purge Troopers, these guys are just bigger, more combat focused Stormcommandos.

Yes, but the Ghost requires an excessively non-standard load of proton torpedoes. There's no way of knowing if a B-wing would have enough.

>>51240051
They only needed two, maybe four of the things in the Geonosis episode, though the particle shields may have been under some strain in the atmosphere.

It's as >>51242160 says. Facial expressions take time. Sometimes it's easier just to give a character a helmet for action intensive sequences.

>>51241382
I imagine a lot of it comes down to how you could pitch it. Dash comes out of Shadows of the Empire is a poor man's Han Solo (cocky Corellian ace pilot smuggler for hire) there to fill the gap and to butt heads with the main cast until he gets some character development and a supposed heroic sacrifice. But that was Shadows of the Empire, and we know for a fact that Pablo definitely doesn't like that story.

So you keep his background traits and his origin stuff intact, you keep him as a smug ace pilot for hire, but with Shadows not happening in NuCanon, you can go in a different direction with him. Hell, /swg/'s interpretation of him as a guy who tells tall tales about his exploits in order to impress local rubes and get laid while occasionally saving the day is an incredibly solid direction to take him.

You could make NuDash the Booster Gold of the Galaxy.

this

is it faggoty to have light sided sith and dark sided jedi? like have someone that makes themselves strong through strong emotions but wields the light side of the force. or goes around like the first terminator, like completely emotionless

I ask because one of my players wants to play the dark side jedi, and as a roleplaying incentive I had everyone come up with rivals that I could use as antagonists or allies, the dark side jedi picked a emotional light sided force user. and I'm not sure whether to tell him to do it over

>>51242901

I don't know about love, but the lust was real.

>>51242992
While it's your game and you define the laws and rules of the universe. I wouldn't have cross aligned force users, IMO it leads to angst, stupidity, and raising questions that don't need to be asked about star wars' very black and white morality.

>>51242992
>light sided sith
Yes, faggoty and hard to make unfaggoty.
>dark sided jedi
Jedi who get to keep their badges and "hero" status despite clearly falling to the Dark Side? Faggoty. Jedi who have fallen from grace and are on the path to damnation? No, not faggoty, those guys happen all the time. If the Dark Jedi player wants a rival, I'd recommend a regular heroic Jedi who has been sent to arrest him.

Also remember that the light-dark split isn't about emotion/no emotion, it's about whether or not you let your emotions do all the decision-making. Jedi can still feel emotion (see: Luke), they just don't let them get in the way of doing the right thing.

Whoops meant to say just abandoned CIS ship in general not freighter. Whats wrong with the Crew having a ship?

>>51244020
How many smugglers or rebels fly around in former CIS ships?
Give them an old YT series that isn't a special snowflake

>>51243985
Grow up, faggot.

>>51244053
Fucking goofed again. ITS NOT A CIS ship just regular freighter im just wording it wrong like an idiot.

>GM George Lucas: An older man, with white hair and a beard in drab brown robes approaches you. "I'm looking for a pilot who can provide passage to Alderaan, for myself, the boy," he points to a blond-haired teenager in a white tunic by the bar, "and two droids. The job pays 8,000 credits, but we want to keep a low profile."
>Player Bob Shenck: Thanks, but no thanks. I have a lot of coupon to clip out at home. Maybe Chewie can help you out.
>George: Damn it, Bob. Are you ever going to take one of my plot hooks? Because if you aren't, we can just drop the campaign now and go back to playing Munchkin.
>Bob: Yeah, we could do that. Munchkin is always fun.

>>51244020
Nothing's wrong with the crew having a ship. There's a certain cost range for a starting ship (120k I think) so as long as it fits that, its fine.

I had one party run a space casino scam out of a Luxury 3000 Yacht and next they're going to have a Barloz with a still in the engine room because the pilot's Corellian.

>>51243932
Why don't you give them a reason to work together to buy a ship, that way the ship has more significance. If they have to work up the credits to buy it, it'll mean more to them and they won't end up just pawning it.

So it's just an old freighter once owned by a pro-CIS crew?

The Generally Grievous.

Someone convince me that Kanan is truly a better crew for Rey (with the new title) than C-3PO.

>>51244839
Or at least something economics-related to fit in with Grievous' flagship being named Invisible Hand.

>>51245108
With Kanan you can slap on push the limit or experimental interface and then squad leader or expert handling or whatever and maintain near-full mobility while shedding the stress, for C-3PO you're just getting a ghetto evade token.

>>51245402

Because Christopher Lee played Dracula

>>51245108
Because:
>Pick 3 bank maneuver
>Activate title
>Rotate Falcon
>Take stress
>Kanan
>Stress goes away
I was told you can choose which to resolve first after doing the 3 bank so in this case you resolve the title first, giving you stress, and then resolve Kanan which removes the stress because you just did a white maneuver.

>>51245108
C-3P0 is best when you have something like Push the Limit, or Experimental Interface on the ship, as well as Lando to pair with C-3P0. You use Lando's action, guess 0 with 3P0, and guarantee at least 1 evade, and possibly 1 evade and two focus.

Underrated post

>>51234493
I've played a few rounds of it at a friend's and really enjoyed it. Pretty fun game - honestly, the collectible model turns me off a bit - I'll at least wait until the next two booster sets are out to see how they design with regards to 'chase rare' cards and the like. But the actual gameplay is really fun.
Core also has Grievous. They picked some really great opening heroes.

>>51246324
Good, The Man With Twenty Lightsabers needs to be preserved as a cautionary tale for new GMs.

So I just finished running the "Trouble Brewing" adventure from the back of the EotE rulebook with my roommates, and they're eager for another session.

What's a good place to go from here? If you haven't read the adventure: they basically rescued an astromech with some nav-data regarding the Kessel Run, captured a small time crime lord, and cashed in the bounty on him.

>>51246355
I missed that particular shitshow. Care to elaborate?

>>51246436
>>51216452

>>51246425

Crime Lord had friends - or owed people money. They come collecting on the guys who cashed his bounty and they need to run jobs to get them back.

Crime boss had a rival who was trying to get an in, and now has an opportunity - they offer the PCs work as a reward.

Crime boss was an imperial informant on the side, and now local ISB goon squads are trying to track down the spacers because they think they might be rebel sympathizers.

Some guy posts a "bounty" on a new time on the Kessel Run, or needs a priority job done via that route, and it will appeal to them because of their new advantage.

Basically, take any crime or western type plot and make it space, it'll work.

Why is R2 so based?

>>51243250
Hmm. You're so close to having something here, but you're just shy. Maybe a Fat Han with Norra, PtL, R2, Vectored Thrusters, and Tail Gunner since you don't have a Kyle crew.

>>51243693
Remember to use your Setback Dice and Dark Side Points liberally.
On one side, it makes your players feel like buying those remove <black> talents were worthwhile if you can inconvenience other members of the party on stuff they would have had an easier check on. Then when you tell them to roll <black> on a check, they can have a nice moment of smug-face and say 'no I got the talent for that'. Don't do that maths for them, even if you remember they have the talent.
I add blacks whenever an environmental condition toughens something up, be that adverse environments, distractions, or time pressures, and I let the purples get set as an intrinsic. (Say a lock needs to be picked, the same door would always be three difficulty. But if they have troopers on their tail, I might add black for the other PCs breathing down their neck. And another for the dark outside.

When you remember to use DS points, the PCs don't hoard them. The most boring use is to upgrade checks and then get them upgraded back. So flip them a lot to throw in dangerous new elements to the scenario if they are finding things too easy (Oh no some masonry is falling due to those shots that missed you!). Once you start using them like that, the PCs will start dropping in cool environmental effects if they know they can, and the system starts to shine.

Has anybody else experienced that the large-based X-wing ships have a hard time holding their pegs. ie when you lift the ship, the base falls off.
Does anybody have a remedy for this?

>>51246548
My Falcon does this and while I haven't tried this Future Floor polish should fix the issue. It's used to tighten up action figure and model kit limbs when they get loose. Just put some polish on a brush, paint the peg on the base with it, and let it dry. Connection should be much tighter afterwards.

At least that's how it works with models and action figures.

how's this

>>51246436
Basically, some GM let his player build 20 lightsabers until he got a perfect one because the component parts are technically cheap and not rare. Because it was within the bounds of the rules, the poster insisted that it wouldn't be right for him to tell the player no, or to have it come back to bite him in the ass in any way.

The lesson is basically: just because the rules say you can do something, doesn't mean the GM always needs to let you (especially if the thing you're doing is openly gamey or broken).

I get the feeling that the Lothal branch of the Imperial Military is basically a joke. The good troopers/officers/pilots all get sent off to join proper detachments while the "technically adequate" lot get patrol missions in and around Lothal territory.

There's got to be somewhere even worse though. Malastare, but the ground is mud (with hexane instead of water) and it rains tar. Tatooine, but it's always windy and there are mosquitoes the size of trucks. Raxus Prime, but for compost.

>>51247442
Space 29 Palms has to be worse than Tatooine. At least Tatooine has gangsters and gambling.

We're discussing the best resolution for the Starfighter combat engine. How does this strike you fine anons?

>When attacking an enemy starfighter, you will typically be rolling Shoot. Shoot is the skill that governs your ability to hit things with ranged weapons. Typically the roll is your Shoot dice pool + applicable modifiers (often negative dice due to enemy Advantage). The number of successes achieved is compared against the defense roll of the opponent; they will roll one of the three Characteristics against it based on their choice at the beginning of the turn. If the Shoot has an even or greater number of successes than the defender, they’ve hit.

>If you hit an enemy Starfighter, you deal damage modified from the result of the highest single value on your attack roll. If the result is higher than the starfighter’s Integrity, the starship takes a Condition; most starfighters can handle a couple of Conditions before they’re knocked out of the fight. If the result is double the starfighter’s Integrity, the starfighter is destroyed, damaged beyond function, or otherwise removed from the battle. This doesn’t necessarily mean the pilot is killed, of course. Most pilots will be able to eject and go extra-vehicular.
