Bothan Ships... what do they have & do you like them in game?

By Joe Boss Red Seven, in X-Wing

So for a while now I have wondered about Bothans in the game. I confess that I did not read any of the late EU stuff before it all went away.

I know the Bothans had a part in many of these books and they used their own capitol ships and Rebel Small Ships. Did they have other ships that could be added into X-Wing?

It would be fun to have a few friendly cat folk, at least as crew... I think.

:D

I don't think there are any bothan specific starfighters or ships smaller than a corvette, but there are probably some options for Armada, and there are Bothan pilots we could see. For example, if we one day see a wraith squadron expansion pack we could get Grinder, a bothan Wraith. We could also see Asyr Fey'lya, who flew with the Rogues.

Yeah that was all I kept seeing no matter what I looked for online.

Well this was my attempt on a Bothan Escape-Pod/ mini-Shuttle. Doesn't really resemble the original style. Just wanted to let it look yellow, as most of the both an civilian style.

Looks plenty STAR WARS to me.

I like that one, but it looks very Tau Empire (40k) to me.

It is a modernized version of the classic, and I agree. The added back fin-jets make it Tau'ish.

If they made a ship scaled to twice the length of the CR-90 of the following ship, i would be ok with that,

I think some of these types of ships will be in ARMADA.

I dunno, all bothans seem to do is die.

If you ask me, Bothan's look like they would be better combatant's on the ground then in space. Prob why most Bothan's made there lives out to be spys then soldiers.

Thus, Bothan ships, by that logic, are primarily SUPPORT vessels then full on combat cruisers.

BOTHAN CRUISER

Spy's on the entire enemy fleets movement dials until destroyed

Muwahahahahaha

They have crazy mind power stuff to, that could be a shielding effect thing in game.

Bugger. Came acrss this thread and was hoping to find some Bothan fighter images. None seem to be available online. But hey. If thats the case i suppose i can run with it

I looked too, I think they use the same fighters as the Rebels...

Bothan Cruiser

0 attack, 0 agi, only a special crew slot (5x).

Unique crew: Bothan crew

Sacrifice this card to look at 1 enemy dial.

I am not very excited about this race.

The Epic Ship I want is a Nebulon B. I really want one. I woul happily invest 300 bucks to display one in my game room. I know this will not happen but...a Nebulon could be a multi faction Epic Ship. If you come from W40K or the like not too expensive.

And one day I will win lotto and order one 7 foot long ISD. I can afford room space to acomodate it. I will not die without my ISD.

Do Bothans show up in the new canon? If not, it is possible that they could be anything (even "humans") and have no specific ship at all.

I got a Bothan clan insigna on my HWK and U-wing. Seems about right.

Sadly aside from the Assault Cruiser the first and third ships aren't official.

Would be great if they were. I still need ships for my Full Thrust project.

Oh well. I was playing around with some designs the other night and got an urge to create a small ship that could have Manny Bothans as a pilot

I think the best way to get Bothans into the game is as crew. "Bothan Spy" that does something cool for Rebels.

I believe Serasue(I just slaughtered that name) was a bothan.

Serissu , and yes, she's Bothan. M3-A she flies is Mando, though.
