Now for something completely different

By darkdooku, in X-Wing

I know the latest new is all about Wave 7 and the love/hate(mostly hate from what I've read) it is getting but I wanted to take a moment to recognize a ship I would love to see in a future Wave that I hadn't seen much talk of and get some community feedback on potential stats for said ship. That ship being the Pursuer-class enforcement ship (link: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship)

The ship fits size-wise perfect into X-Wing, still undecided whether it would be big or small base, it rides the size line at 30.1 meters.

I picture it having:
- turret upgrade
- torpedo upgrade
- 2 attack, 2 agility, ~5-6 shields, and 2 hull
- My favorite idea: a Slave II title that makes your torpedoes rear-arc firing (think Firespray's rear-arc but can only fire torpedoes out it and can no longer fire torpedoes out the front arc).

Hadn't thought too much on squad cost so I'll leave that to anyone who knows the rough point costs of the above stats. For manuever dial I imagined somewhere in the middle of the pack in terms of manueverability. Action-wise: Focus and Target Lock at a minimum (welcome any additional action ideas)


I've always been a bit obsessed with Boba Fett and when I discovered the story behind the Slave II and got a look at it I always kind of felt it fit Fett better than the Slave I did. For some reason the Slave I never fit Fett's style/character, seemed too flashy and something just seemed off. Not knocking the Firespray it is a cool ship and fun to play, didn't fit my view of Fett's character though. The Pursuer-class is visually more minimalist and better fits Fett's utilitarian approach to doing business in my opinion.


Now I know, do we really need another ship with Boba Fett as a pilot? Probably not but even if it didn't have Fett as a pilot I think its a pretty neat ship that could add some potentially new variations/combos between its turret option, reverse arc-only torpedoes title, and hull/shield stats. The ship was listed as being used by police forces around the rise of the Empire, also used by Fett and the Viraxo family from X-Wing Alliance fame so I could see it being Scum and/or possibly Imperial or even both.

Alright so what does everyone think, does X-Wing need it? (I definitely think it does.) Do the stats seem ridiculous? Am I out of my mind?

I welcome all criticisms but prefer it to be constructive and applicable. ;)

wtf is that hideous thing

I think it would be a neat ship for scum, I don't Boba ever used it while in service to the empire... for stats, more like 4 hull and 4 shields, This would give it a better chance I think. Overall while I may not buy it, It looks cool and I think It would be a neat addition.

Yeah like I said I'm not married to having Boba as a pilot but if it were to have him I'd say Scum.

I skewed so heavily on the shields as its described as relying heavily on its shield for defense and I think its a dynamic we haven't seen on a lot of ships (lots of shields but minimal hull)

I'm pretty sure the OP has answered that already

the Pursuer-class enforcement ship (link: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Pursuer-class_enforcement_ship)

There you go, just in case you missed it.

Your username is kinda relevant.

I read that it relies on its shields and all but I feel four shields and 4 shields makes more sense. And at 30.1 meters, it should definitely a large base ship. The Falcon is only 34 meters so there's not a huge difference. At 1/270 the Slave 2 would be almost 4.5 inches long.

Also I would love it!

I don't think they are making it because everyone will rag on them if they did. It looks easier to make than a TIE/Pun.

You just take a doorstop and add a flap on one side...

I never did like that thing. If they add it, alright. I'm sure it'll be of some use... But, I'd rather they not.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.
