Bring the Punishing One!

Fluff-wise it's a far better candidate for a large turreted scum ship than the YT-2000

I'd guess it would have a similar ability to the Outrider title and a salvaged astro slot

Nah, who's heard of the Punishing One? An obscure ship mentioned in only a few EU places and most of them very obscure themselves.

Instead of the Otana which took a lead role in one of the most beloved and legendary space shooters.

and which episode of the OT did the pilots / owners of the Otana appear in?

Well a mate just got a 3D printer and this was on the top of my get printed list:

was going to use it as an Outer Rim Smuggler but it'd be cool to have an official one in scum. This thing needs a heap of sanding before I get it painted.

Do you still have the file and could you share/send it? I know a guy with a 3D printer as well and I would just love physically need to have an Otana model.

and which episode of the OT did the pilots / owners of the Otana appear in?

Do they have to?

Is that a magical requirement for inclusion in the game? Because if so, most pilots should be discarded.

Sure, we could have Dengar, in his ugly bucket of trash, and then FFG will have to make up some more pilots to also fly that thing. Or we could get the Otana, with Ace, Aeron and Galin and a single generic. Instant pilots, instant backstory, everything nice and neat and instantly recognizable instead of wondering what kind of IP . And they go nicely with brother Emon.

well your original reasoning was the obscurity of said ship

You might be surprised to know that as far as the majority of SW fans are concerned, both ships are equally obscure

Character-wise it's no contest. The Azameen family come from a comparatively obscure bit of EU/Legends - Dengar appears on screen as a named character in the OT - so fluff-wise he absolutely aces it.

Plus he has a ship with a rather interesting design in place of the rather generic look of the YT - which has already been done twice in this game

Yes, actually I got it from the forums from an old Otana thread https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?/topic/92450-yt-2000-otana/

Thanks, but the link to the file 404s on me

edit: nvm, got the file from the original thread, thanks!

A little thread necromancy here. I finally took the plunge and picked up the Otana on Shapeways. I really hope FFG still gives us this ship, but I just couldn't wait any longer!

Has it been so long... yes.

We need this ship to happen...

We need this ship to happen...

YEAH WE DO!

Otana, XG-1, DX-9, Delta Escort shuttle, R-41, T-wing. Vigo armed transport, TIE Avenger, Nova courier, Kimogila/with krayt title.

We need them all.

Edit: Yes, Starkiller. TIE Aggressor too.

.... no more Rebel turrets PLEASE.

Now if this thing did something else, sure!

... and this is where the two kinds of players run headlong into each other. From a gameplay point of view, there's not really a great deal of difference between the various YT-series freighters. From the point of view of someone wanting to play a Star Wars game, though, the absence is rather inexcusable.

It's better at home in Scum anyway. .

Agreed - both named pilots would likely be Azzameens, and not having them able to fly alongside Emon is simply ludicrous.

Scum & Villany needs some (ORS-equivalent) YT-1300's while we're at itr!

The YT-2400 was kinda pushing it for me already. How desperate can these scum be if they have to hobble together any freighter they can find to fight the Empire?

A mercenary smuggler needs to smuggle things. and fast

so an armed freighter with UP TO ELEVEN Engine upgrade is a must

I'm new here so forgive me but are these 3d-printed ship? If so, how the hell do they find the plans for them?

My cousin has a 3d-printer and I want to use it but I don't know how you make ship models, does anyone have a link to a guide or reference or something on how I would be able to do this? (and yes, I know you can buy them but I want to make a few of my own)

It's possible they are based off of the models from X-Wing Alliance, though I wouldn't be at all surprised if it was just the painstaking labour of a dedicated fan.
