So I was playing around with the http://cardcreator.atelierdufaucon.com/ Custom Card Creator, and decided to show off a few idea's I had for new pilots for the ships.

The first 3 will be a bit of Star Wars Nostalgia with me, as it was one of the first Star Wars games I played as a kid, (along side Dark Forces) and that title is Rebel Assault, what I would now describe as a "rail shooter", but back then I didnt care, I was in a X-wing, and A-Wing, and the T-16 Sky Hopper! xD

I tried to capture each pilot's feel in there custom abilities, with the exception of Jake Farrell, as I just made a art change to go with the other 2 Pilots and copied everything else from the official card.

For Ru Murleen's card, because of her awesome flying through the spike training area, I figured she deserved a extremely unique evasion ability to set her apart from the crowd.

While I didn't write it down, assuming you DIDNT land the evasion roll, treat the obstruction as usual.

Simlar, with Rookie One's card, I felt his training gifted him an evasion token action, considering that was honestly the only thing that sets him (Besides the fact that its "you" the player) apart is that you can kinda evade stuff by "strafing" left and right in the game slightly offsetting your predetermined flight path. lol. I didn't want to give him an attack boost, because I felt that kinda stuff belongs to the Rogue Squadron Pilots, like Wedge.

The art for Ru, and Jake, is from in game sprites, and the Rookie One cockpit art, is the box art for Rebel Assault. Let me know what ya'll think of the set ups.

Ru Murleens ability is very interesting, but I think the wording needs to be cleared up a little.

For example, does she still take damage from the asteroid if she succeeds? If she does perform that 1 k-turn and the template overlaps another part of the asteroid, does she have to roll for damage again? etc

I call it Ru Murleen's Accident Avoidance, where it completely dismisses standard asteroid rules, where its a free pass to get away. Ignore standard asteroid rules. That said, I should have mentioned that it COUNTS as the action for her and you cant focus or target lock.

Imagine her flying at the asteroid and then just spinning around before she hits, but with the dice roll, it might not happen.

Edit 1

Hmmm, maybe i should rewrite it as

ACTION : When landing Ship on obstruction, roll defense die, if evade, reverse course from the current point on obstruction in a 1K. Ignore All Standard Obstruction Damage.

Edit 2

Was also originally thinking it should work on ship bases as well, but would that be a bad thing lol, im honestly imagining it mainly on friendly ships, but force help you if you crash into the enemy and have to activate that.

That still wouldn't work because if you land on an obstacle, you skip your Perform Action step. You can't really just dismiss the rules.

Also by not including the word "may" in there, you've removed the option for the player. This could backfire quite badly. Just when you want to close with the enemy, you're suddenly facing the wrong way.

I can see what you're trying to do, but I really see this as a handicap more than an ability.

26 thumbs up for the card art!

26 thumbs up for the card art!

Thanks Cona, glad ya enjoy.

Oh no, what have I done.....

I've given the Rebels a Tie Phantom.

and just because.....

Ahh, the joys of the X-Wing Novels :3

How about making Corran's thing a free Boost action (possibly using the 1 turn)? That should negate the need for the bit after the last comma.

Nah, its not supposed to be an additional movement or action, its basically supposed to simulate the use of the Tractor Beam to turn your normal 1 turn, to a green, by tractor beaming the obstacle and whipping around it, which happenes in one of the X-Wing Novels by Corran.

What's the difference between an X-wing and an X-wing Fighter?

Oh no, what have I done.....

I've given the Rebels a Tie Phantom.

A PS9 one at that, which means auto-PS11. Ru should really be PS7 like the other video game aces.

Considering She and Rookie One basically survived the entire Rebel Assault 2 pretty much ALONE against the masses of TIE Pilot's (Snickers evilly noticing your name) in the phantom, and the events of the first game with her playing the ROLE of Wedge, I felt she earned it.

and the fighter was just because I was typing X-Wing in the card ship name slot, and I auto say "X-Wing Fighter" when i think of the ship, so thus fighter was added.

In every video game you vape countless pilots.

PS7 is an ace, someone who outflies veteran pilots who made it to squadron leader of elite squadrons (PS6). PS8 pilots are legendary. We're talking Luke Skywalker there. PS9 pilots are beyond legendary. Wedge, Soontir, Han Solo and Darth Vader. That's it. PS9 is truly hyperbolic.

Maarek Steele, Jake Farrell, Dash Rendar and Keyan Farlander only make it to 7. If Ru's an ace pilot, she'll be at 7. Might just make 8.

When I'm in the Cockpit, Steele is a 10.

So Ive been watching Starwars Rebels..... This might work as a card.....though Im sure some of you are going to say "THEY ARE A-WINGS!" Well I say they are R-22's without the Doddonna Improvments to MAKE them A-Wings!

They're pretty clearly specified as RZ-1s. Not even new, the Dodonna thing's been defied for years.

yea, i know, disney has ruined the lore BOO HOO HOO ~___~ ' This is me defying them!

I was bored and didnt like Fel's card, so I found his art from the comics, and BAM, better card art.

^not The Rock enough, see me after class

PLEASE learn how card wording works.

"Your action bar gains the <evade> action icon."

"When you overlap an obstacle, immediately roll 1 defense die. On a <evade> result, you may perform a red 1<kturn> maneuver."

PS9 pilots are beyond legendary. Wedge, Soontir, Han Solo and Darth Vader. That's it. PS9 is truly hyperbolic.

So If Fel gets a new card, why not the great Wedge.

Wedge is looking very Dustin Hoffman there.

from the comics....i thought the art wasnt to bad, especially with the x-wings flying in the backdrop, added something to the image.
