Sweet Ride

By AWinger, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

I'm getting set to run my group through EotE for the first time. While the YT1300 is obviously iconic, I kinda want them to have a ship that's separate from the movies that they can identify with their group. But beyond the movies I don't have a clue, does anybody have suggestions for a Falcon equivalent that's not the three suggested in the rulebook? Pictures would be awesome too.

Ghtroc 720 is a classic... sorta looks like a turtle...

The E-9 Explorer is getting popular

The SS-54 Assault Ship might work if your players need a gunship over a hauler

Wow, thanks guys. That E9 Explorer does look pretty kickass.

Stats are available in Enter the Unknown, pg 61&62.

My lot have a stolen Lambda class shuttle.

Looks someone took a HWK-290 and gave it to the kids from fast and furious

Clearly Paul Walker would approve of the blue race stripes.

yt-2000 is always solid if you wanna have a cec ship.

I do wish there were more deckplans available for the ships. I'm trying to imagine the Firespray's deckplan that would accommodate the crew/passengers they list for it.

While I do like custom starshipts, I prefer the ones found in official rulebooks or supplements.
Here are some that can be found in either "Suns of Fortune", "Enter the Unknown" or "Dangerous Covenants".

The Surronian Conqueror-class Assault Ship

I'm sure you can find the deckplans for most of those ships looking around on the internet... lots of usefull sites made them.... or they can be directly found on wookiepedia.

Hope that helps.

Here are a few more that I like, but their stats aren't listed yet, not in any rulebooks...

The Barloz-class Freighter :

Enjoy.

Gah... so many sexy beautiful ships. I am aiming for the E-9 Explorer though.

Some I will admit don't look like they fit in the Star Wars universe.

We use the E-9 in our game. A very good ship if you aren't interested in Falcon look-a-likes.

No engine bay? I call shenanigans! Looks like someone else felt the same as I do and modified those deck plans accordingly:

Honestly seeing the ship in the Starter Box was almost a turn off.

No engine bay is actually better and makes a lot of sense.

Short of it, its an artifact courtesy of Star Trek. Star Wars craft have multiple engines, so if one goes out they can fly on the others and make repairs on the ground like a sane person, or send the astromechs out if it just can't wait. You never call shinangans on a 737s lack of engine access.

The whole " engineering is totally required" comes from treks need for a "technology room" to do technology things in. Really stupid when you think about how often they fiddle with an unknown or experimental device LESS THEN TEN FEET FROM THE ANTIMATTER REACTOR CORE!

That's what the flight attendants tried to tell me last time and I still think they were wrong!
