'cuz I am not even remotely interested in it. Though I find the illustration on page one somewhat interesting, I am still not really attracted to it. I was never a player of whatever video game it came from and thus do not have any "fond memories". Then again, I never "flew" the TIE Defender (or Avenger) in any video game either, but have always found those designs... inspiring. I have always found the (original) Rogue Shadow design to be rather unappealing- just not into the asymmetrical nature of those fins/solar panels/radiator thingies. Don't really see what it would bring to the game, and would much rather have FFG prioritize a more interesting and useful ship (IMO) like GAT-12 Skipray, YT-2000, XG-1 Starwing Assault Boat, Mist Hunter, etc... I tend to put it the same category as Slave-2 and the K-wing... not just ugly... but f*^&ing ugly!

If FFG makes it, I probably would not buy it just on GP.

'nuff said.

Yikes. I would never categorize those ships as interesting and especially wouldn't as useful... The mist hunter looks like the short bus of the galaxy. The same could be said for the rest of those. The yt2000 is another sad excuse of a kitbash. Opinions are opinions though.

Oi! The YT-2000 looks exactly like what it is! An advancement on the YT series, if not flat out one of the best designs to come out of the series..! For a very brief period the CEO's horrible lopsided-head-syndrome was cured to right-side-up and he realized, "Oh my god, things are supposed to be centered..! What the HELL was I doing!?"

Then The Empire got in on him and took him out for the YT-2000, they didn't want them actually making good ships. So his equally if not worse crippled distant second to the nearest power and or star cousin took over.

Then we got the YT-2400, otherwise known as, "I increased the 1 to a 2 and the 3 to a 4, and the most famous pilot is original the character!"

I'm not familiar with TFU so I don't have any attachment to this ship and characters.

That said, I think the ship looks neat and I'd be OK with the idea of a size Large cloaking ship (assuming a 1-length decloak).

But even the revised stats provided up thread are OP and insane. Boost and PS bid crew upgrade? Hello, Whisper and Chiraneau. Given that a PS 6 IG-2000 starts naked at 36 points and a PS 4 Decimator (with 0 agility) starts at 42 points, I'd think a cloaking ship with a stat line like that (3/2/8/4) probably needs the durability reduced at a minimum and even then should start at 50 points for the generic. That would allow you to play two naked generics in a list, but if you want a special pilot or any upgrades at all you can only put one in a standard 100-point game.

(I'd suggest a @MajorJuggler stat analysis, too, just to check relative balance.)

I hadn't even noticed until just now, but Qu Rahn is in the Draw Their Fire Force Pack for the SW card game. Has Jerec been seen anywhere else?

The LCG has just about everything.

TFU had one of the best stories to come out of the 2000's. I can play it over and over just for the story.

I disagree.... I hated the story because it made Vader and the Emperor to be wusses. They're supposed to be these all powerful sith lords and they just got whipped around like nothing by this kid who finished his training in like a week under Vader. I liked the Prequel movies A LOT more than the story of the force unleashed games.... but to each their own...

>A week

so did you actually play the game

Because Galen trained under Vader for like 16 years.

16 years vs how many years of training for Vader? Not to mention again Vader is supposed to be super powerful (granted he doesn't do anything in the films... he only beats Obi-wan because Obi-Wan lets him, then he beats Luke in Empire because Luke just started training, and then he gets whooped really quick in Jedi... but still!) Also instead of ending the sith reign right then and there he walks away to let them continue to rule while he joins a rebellion... It was fun for a side story that is not canon what so ever, just a what if, but as canon it was bantha poodoo.... so happy Disney changed that when they took over.

About 16.

Actually him dying at the end of the 1st game is cannon according to the 2nd game,but then Disney bought LA and flushed everything about the EU down the swirly.

Jerec has been in the SWLCG too, case in point:

Also, now because of this topic I really want to play TFU. Great. I need to be focusing on school, and now I have a better urge.
