I saw this on ebay and thought this would be cool for a wave

What say you guys?

I mostly interested in how that thing was made.

Well that looks more like the old WotC model than a custom job. However I would enjoy getting an actual Star Viper. Plus with the YT-2400 coming soon I think it's just a question of when instead of if.

I believe it may have come from one of the users on here that uses Shapeways to 3d print their designs.

Gawd I want the Virago to be part of a wave soon.

Yeah, Mel's Miniatures does a StarViper model - you can see it here

Looks a bit different to Mels, and it's not the Titanium series one cause that one is much wider and some details are different. http://www.afewmaneuvers.com/topic/376-suitable-proxies/#entry4449

Pretty sure the WotC one is much smaller.

The stats on that ship seem a bit TOO good - 4 attack? tons of health with 2 agility?

and its 44 pts for a PS 7 with no unique ability or 38pts for a ps1 when you consider it is 8pts more than a Defender or 7 more than a Firespray it doesn't seem too broken just expensive as heck.

Personally, I think a better stat line would be A3 D1 H4 S4 for a generic "Star Viper" and then a "Virago" title that adds +1 to all stats except PS for maybe 5 points

Never played the computer game... but the stats and fluff on Wookieepedia make me think something more like...

Attk: 2 (at most 3)

Def: 2-3 (most likely 2 as there is no mention of it being particularly maneuverable)

Hull: 3-4 (listed as a "Heavy Starfighter" and "well armored hull", so lets go with 4)

Shield: 2 (50 SDB, same as X-wing)

Actions: Focus, TL, Boost (Wookiee... mentions that it was fast)

Upgrades: EPT(?), Torpedo, Modification

Maneuver Dial: very similar to X-wing ("fast" but no mention of it being particularly maneuverable or un-maneuverable) but addition of Boost action would take its speed "above average".

Above stats are for production Star Viper. Prince Xizor's Virago would be similar but has enhanced firepower due to its advanced Fire Control System so, either "+1 Attack" or "+ System Upgrade" and, of course... a unique pilot ability.

These are the only things from shadows I did want to see. I would much prefer the Otana to the Outrider. Dash Rendar annoyed me too much, even in the old N64 game. I loved.

Yea I was going to say shapeways is amazing

I could see virago and the generic vipers being 2/4ths of a mini faction that had a big base ship and a bomber that could include firesprays if it wanted.

I know it should be a rebel/imp game and I'm into that, but this would be a fairly benign addition to the game. I'd say if you took any ships from this auxillary faction you couldn't mix it with anyone elses. Perhaps Hapes could be a faction too depending on what goes down for episodes 7/8/9.

Yeah, I think a better statline is 3/2/4/3. Five shields and four attack is way too much!

Also, I'd give it boost, since it's supposed to move all squirrelly, and a system upgrade slot, since it has advanced targeting systems, according to the fluff.

Make a PS7 like Xizor cost about 40. He should have an ability, though, of course. The PS1 would cost 33.

An official Virago would be a fine addition to the game, but this is an attempt to profit from copyrighted artwork, partially. Not cool. For this to be a truly "custom" mini, it would need to use all-original artwork on the maneuver dial, ship card and ship token. Scrubbing the FFG and LFL copyright notices off the card is bad -- like, illegal bad.
