Hello,

Longtime lurker and first time poster.

Having been impressed with the idea of the EU - Erron Kell's double B-Wing/E2 conversion

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deathraven

I have put together my take on the ship:

X-Wing Cards:

I also added a "tilt and swoop" widget:

Obviously the firepower needed to be nuffed down to "4" and I feel the hull and shields are about right.

What do people think of the dial and the special ability? I felt that it should reflect Kell's reluctance to fly as part of a squadron (leading to his decision to leave the New Republic's forces and become a future mercenary).

The dial reflects the inability for this wide ship to operate like a strike craft but more like a bomber?

Thoughts?

nice conversion. everything looks ok, but i feel it is a little too expensive actually, especially considering the pilot ability is actually quite hard to utilise. 50 points seems more than fair.

Nice Ship, I like it!

The dial and the upgrade slots, hm... I don't think a "double B-Wing" should have a bette dial than a B-Wing. I'd make all the hard turns red, the 3 forward green, then give it a secondary firing arc out the back and switch barrel roll to boost ;-)

So, I love the ability, you've caught the flavor of Kell spot on with it, and its a neat concept that can lead to some cool play. Like having someone near him during maneuvers, and then not during shooting.

My largest concern is the cost. With no turret or k-turn, an engine upgrade is basically mandatory, bringing this to 62 points. Add in 6 points for a random crew and EPT and your at 68, leaving you 32 for the rest. I think it needs to be a lil cheaper.

Second the expense question and maybe need more red on the dial? It's made from B-wings after all...

I can see it either way. The articles on this bad boy make it sound like it had a ton of room to spare, and thus I could see better flight controls and more powerful engines. It is twice the b-wing, but not twice the crew, so that leaves a lot of systems from the second b-wing on the ground.

make the dial worse like a b-wing, lower the overall cost of the ship, add (1) cannon slot. really like the look of the ship.

58 pts with only a front arc, would be devastated by ANY ship with the same cost.

A dial closer to the lambda (but with a k-turn AND greener straights 1-3 maybe, white 4) will make it more believable AND reduce it's cost a lot. I think 4 hull 6 shields would be more like "2 bwings" without skyrocketing the price, since the structure won't just add up the integrity of two b-wings, neither the shields of two b-wings, but it will be sturdier than only one. That thing should not have more total hitpoints than a lambda.

The cost with 4 attack power should be something like 35-38. The ability is the only thing that feels underwhelming, even fitting the character. Maybe something more like "When declaring your attack, if you and your target have no other ship in range 1, you can remove a focus or evade token from the enemy ship" It represents its his individual spirit, and benefits taking more risks and picking lonely targets. That skill is worth 3 points IMO, not mor ebecause of the limitations of the dial.

With the PS in 7, that skill, and all those options, I think something like 44 points would fit.

Always loved this ship, lovely job!

Definitely overpriced as others have said. Thats a lot better than the usual gross underpricing on custom ships, but even so

Definitely needs a cannon slot since this thing had SIX(!) ion cannons. I personally feel the stats are ok though, though mabe Nynox has a point that 4/6 hull/shields would be more affordable.

lol I was going to build one of these myself but never got around to it.

I was also planning on the whole "double the B-Wing" stat line with 6 Attack, 2 Evade, 10 Shields and 6 Hull.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for all the responses.

So version 2:

Changes:

Points lowered.

K-Turn added.

Heavy Weapons Slot.

2nd Systems Slot (due to the 2nd B-Wing components).

Hull and Shields lowered.

Comments?

My only comment is that it would be fun to run. Nice pricing, and barrel roll with an engine and advs may make it VERY powerful. Double sensors is overkill, 1 crew is ok.

It may have two cannons and chose to shot both spending a focus, so no focus for the shot (Unless RecSpec shenannigans).

Like.

PS: Oh! The K-turn should be speed 2 or 3, or even a very unique 1!
