LibrariaNPCs Freighter Creation Thread

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

This is a touch of necromancy, but I'm just announcing that:

1) I'm still taking suggestions. I'm at a snag as to what else to stat with regards to freighters.

2) I'm working on the capital ships chapter now that I finished AoR. I have a few favorites, but I'm up for suggestions. I want at least 20 before I start up a new thread.

3) If anyone has a suggestion as to how to make these documents look good, please let me know!

I'd like to thank you, Libraria. I was looking to use the Crescent- X9 in my campaign I'm starting as a plot device, and your stats here almost matched what I had ballparked from the wiki article. I deferred to your stats.

Thanks for the compliment! I hope those stats serve you well!

did I miss it or has there not been a writeup on the TIE Lone Scout?

Wow, I didn't expect someone was going to go digging for this thread ^^;

I didn't do a writeup for it, partly because no one really asked, and I thought they were going to bring it about with an AoR supplement (but didn't).

Would you like me to give it a whirl?

Didn't see it, but I'm sure someone has requested it before and I missed it: Is there an entry for the J-327 (Naboo Royal starship)?

So far I've just been using the Curich Shuttle entry sans guns, and honestly I think that works for me.

That's a J-Type Diplomatic Barge. Desperate Allies, p62.

This is amazing. Is there anywhere outside of this forum that I can find these stats? Ideally like a google doc or something? If not, no worries... I might even put it together in one because I'm OCD like that.

Edit: Just saw the PDF's. Awesome man! Thank you.

Silly question, but has anyone put these together in XML format to import into OggDude's generator?

Yeah, I put together the PDF for easy viewing and printing. I haven't really done anything since this, mostly due to time and lack of requests, so everything should be there.

Granted, if you can do a better looking PDF, I'm game for that.

I tried to send OggDude a note to let him use these, but I couldn't get the message to him. I'm still mucking about with his creator (and making more important edits), so I haven't gotten around that that. Considering that a handful of these have been officially statted, I'm not sure if I'd personally go all-out on that.

So you're still doing requests?

yes please...all the TIE's are a personal favorite...

So you're still doing requests?

I never really stopped. The requests I could do stopped coming in outside of capital ships, and while I have a few of them "sketched" out, I haven't really made a good breakthrough (having a hard time grasping how they are scaling the differences in Silhouette and Encumbrance, primarily). It also didn't help that the F&D Beta came out and sidelined my group.

Anyway, if you have a request of a specific Fighter or Freighter, let me know and I'll see if I can fit it into my schedule for you.

I'll add the TIE Lone Scout to my list, then, and try to get something written up soon. I'll try to see if I can get an idea during my dinner break ( IF I get a break tonight).

If you wanted any other TIE, send me a link (and confirm it isn't in a book), and I'll see if I can't add it for you.

Because this is how I roll. Wrote this up during my short dinner break. Let me know what you think!

Lone Scout A/A-2

AKA: TIE Scout

Era: Rise of the Empire

Hull type: Scout Ship

Ship Class: Lone Scout A

Manufacturer: Sienar (Republic Sienar Systems, Sienar Fleet Systems, and Sienar Ships)

Hyperdrive: Class 2 (Backup Class 15)

Navcomp: Equipped

Sensor Range: Long

Ship's Complement: Pilot

Encumbrance Capacity: 250 (150 tons)

Passenger Capacity: 3

Consumables: 1 year

Cost/Rarity: 125,000 credits (30,000 credits, used)/6

Customization Hard Points: 3

Silhouette: 4

Speed: 3

Handling: 0

Defense: 1/0

Armor: 2

Hull Threshold: 16

System Threshold: 14

Weapons:

Chin mounted laser cannon (Fire Arc Forward; Damage 6; Critical 3; Range [Close])

Variants: The TIE Scout was a Restricted vessel, but contained a better sensor suite (Extreme Range), as well as a system to “ping” ships (add <B> to checks to find “hidden” ships). The Lone Scout A-2 improved the backup hyperdrive (Class x12) at the cost of 25 tons (138 Encumbrance).

Notes : There’s a number of versions of these stats from other games, and all of them are conflicting. I tried to consolidate it a bit as this game is more narrative, and relied solely on Wookieepedia.

That said, I disagreed with the idea of ditching shields and weakening the hyperdrive of the TIE Scout as they are basically the same ship (just with better sensors), but I can see the argument of weakening them in exchange for the sensors.

The ship is described as being sluggish compared to fighters (0 Handling, 3 Speed), but I don’t see it being less durable than the Jumpmaster (I see it as more durable, mostly due to size, and as it has a more reliable hyperdrive, better system strain). I also see the Jumpmaster being faster and more maneuverable due to being a CEC ship, as well as not having the same cargo or passenger space (sacrifices were made).

Subnote: It won't let me add images from Wookiepedia entries now. Anyone else run into that issue?

Awesome. DeepWater-class, then?

Don’t forget to link to the other pages where this particular model is discussed. Lots of controversy there.

Love to, but see first post.

Do you mean Forum pages, or pages on Wookiepedia? Not sure where else it came up (especially since I'm not rummaging through AoR or F&D; EotE forums keep me busy as it is!).

If it takes a while, that's fine. If you can't somehow, I missed where you said, sorry. There's potential that it might be a pointless request if it shows up in Strongholds .

It's not a matter of time, but rather the options in my first post

Important Note: Some ships will not be statted in this work due to official stats existing elsewhere, a beta that I or my players have participated in, or the plethora of alternative stats out there.

That said, if there’s a ship you REALLY want to see, get in touch and I’ll see what I can do.

Now that I think about it, I'm not much a fan of deep water anyway. Maybe the Corona-class armed frigate? Uph, I must be more oit of it than I thought. How about you just ignore everything I say? That works.

Don't worry, we all have those sort of days.

If you get an idea, fire away and I'll see what I can cook up!

Threads in this forum. I recall seeing one recently that was rather … acrimonious, although also filled with useful information and insights.

EDIT:

Ahh, here we go — see https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/136711-stat-block-tie-scout-lone-scout-a/ .

Maybe something utterly mundane and forgettable, like the Action IV transport, or something FROM THE FUTURE like the Horizon-class yacht. I'd say something like the Imperial Hunter, but seeing as you have nothing but a picture to work with, that just seems mean somehow.

I figure a shotgun approach is a good choice. Maybe by randomly throwing stuff out there I'll hit something not taboo. And I swear up and down I don't remember the Corona being so big.

Actually, it does look like a pretty nice little freighter. I guess we’ll just have to wait. ;(

Maybe the Corona-class armed frigate?

You mean, the one at http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Corona-class_frigate ?

It’s a nice replacement for the Nebulon-B, but not a freighter.
