Sabra title

By Punning Pundit, in X-Wing Off-Topic

What do you think of:

"Title: YT-1300 only

Your action bar gains the boost icon. You may only fire out of your printed arc"

Too powerful? Not powerful enough?

What ship is this referencing and what is it from?

X-wing Alliance; one of the greatest space sims ever

Outer Rim Smuggler only, The Sabra has only 1 turret. +1 attack die primary arc attacks only.

This doesn't make much sense to me. The Sabra has a turret. It should be no less effective when firing sideways than it is when shooting forward.

Game-wise, it'd be...weird. For 27 points you have a 2-dice turret and a 3-dice forward. 5 points for a turret and 2HP over a B-wing, at the cost of a large base and minus the barrel roll. I dunno how I feel about this

Well, in the game you would often lock the turret in forward position, like the BTL title for the Y-Wing.

Or:

Sabra

You may only perform primary weapon attacks out of your printed arc

Add [turret slot] to your upgrade bar.

Immediately after performing a primary weapon attack, you may spend a focus token to perform a [turret] attack.

To simulate the defensive firing setting of the turrets.

That one seems interesting, for sure. Blaster turret becomes useful since they can take RecSpec. If I remember right, it had an ion turret in-game. And that Autoblaster turret on a large-base ship is pretty big.

The Sabra has a turret, but it is very weaksauce. Just give it 3 dice in forward arc and 2 out of arc.

Well, before Wave 6 came out, I originally had:

...although MK-09 is probably better off as a crew member rather than a passenger anyway. Maybe replace one Crew slot with a Systems Upgrade slot?

Here are the rest of my Azzameen YT-1300 cards, just for funsies.

An astromech slot is quite powerful.

A YT-1300 with all 1 and 2 maneuvers green? Hello Aeron (as above)

Or Aeron with Nien Nunb and an R7?

R7-T1 boosting all over the place while target locking would be nice as well. :P .

Not to mention the regenerating shenanigans of R2-D2 of R5-P9 with Rec Spec crew :P .

True. Although you have to look at it in combination with the Pilot cards listed above as well. The Sabra would be using the Outer Rim Smuggler YT-1300 stats, not the Han/Lando/Chewie Millennium Falcon YT-1300 stats. It would be a marginally different combo on a 2-attack dice ship.

And while those combinations may seem powerful in a vacuum, regenerating one shield a turn with (say) R2-D2 and Nien Numb, or R5-P9 with Recon Specialist is no more effective than just taking C3-PO on his own. In fact, it's worse, because with C3-PO you could add Gunner as well. Aeron and R2 Astromech would also seem to be going around the houses quite a long way to get a free target lock for a 2 attack dice turret...

But anyway, I was just throwing the cards out there for flavour and funsies. As I said in my earlier post, they were written way back before Scum arrived - before Wave 6 arrived even, so no doubt a little tweaking wouldn't go amiss. :P

Incidentally, I've just noticed that the K4 Security Droid is a slightly better version of my Aeron crew card... :lol:

I fully support putting the whole Azzameen clan into this game. I LOVE X-Wing: Alliance.

Let's get a ship for Olin Garn, while we're at it.

Sabra: yt-1300 only. 1 point.

This ship is now the official dip of the NFL and tastes good.

Sabra: YT-1300 only. After you perform an action, you may be disappointed that this wasn't an Otana mission.

Selu: YT-1300 Only, Title: If you receive 2 ion tokens, immediately activate your Dead Man's Switch..

I'm still holding out for the Otana
