Some Delta-7 Aethersprites:

Eh, I think I am going to start a new topic for this and compile all the ship cards into one post for easier use. I will post links to Strange Eons and Hinnyboy's plugin there, as well as to Vagrant's thread on droid ships. In the meantime:

Check this out guys.

Tell me what you think.

Just thinking out loud here, regarding Jedi pilots and abilities:

Q: Who was the best Jedi pilot?

A: By most accounts, Anakin Skywalker (aka Darth Vader)

Therefore, any skills/abilities have to be weighed against that standard. Any pilot with better stats needs to be reviewed to see if those stats are justified.

Another known "Jedi" (at least "strong in the Force") is Luke Skywalker, so we actually have two "Force using" pilots to compare with.

Just food for thought.

Chris:

You're right. Based on what I know, that's certainly the case. However, Saesee Tiin specifically was known for being at least almost as good, or probably equal, to Anakin in piloting skill. In addition, he had incredibly strong natural telepathic powers that allowed him to predict opposing (living) pilots moves and react accordingly. I'm not sure if the ability I have given him is more powerful than a free action, but I guess it could be modified to be a little more restrictive.

I think I've decided that an additional upgrade card for Jedi isn't really necessary. This game is about starfighter dogfights, and it seems wrong to make Jedi completely dominant by giving them an extra leg up beyond their high skill and special abilities.

I've posted all of the cards together over on this thread as I want to have one specifically devoted to custom ship design and critical thought on the issue, rather than taking over what was originally a question about the actual details of how to make the cards:

Just from an in- universe point of view, the Aethersprite was known to be notoriously difficult to pilot, and only force users could fly it AND use its blasters effectively, because it had touchy controls and no aim assist. So, I don't think it would have a target lock.

Hmm... I forgot that. That's fine, but it means that it can't have the torpedoes upgrade slot either. I guess that wouldn't be the end of the world, as only a few variants had them. However, that's something to consider. I feel like the Astromech would handle that (at least in-universe), however there's no easy way to make taking an astromech a prerequisite to taking torpedoes.

Hi there. Long time listener, first time caller...

I've just discovered this thread (and, I guess, this forum) and I'm loving it. Kudos for all of your guys work!

I'm hunting for custom-made stats for different X-wing-able ships from the different factions across the SW universe and this is perfect for the good ol' Republic! Apologies if this derails it slightly, but has anyone seen any really good Separatist ones? What about Old Republic/Sith? New Republic/Mandalorian?

Keep up the awesomeness.

Hey, do these print to perfect dimensions? If not, what are the dimensions, Width and Height?
