Do you use "Skin mods" for your uglys?

By Paperairpain, in X-Wing Off-Topic

I have no idea what part to post this in, so its going in off-topic.

When I made my ship, I looked at all my ships I had built up over the waves. Some painted, but most all still stock. I wanted to make a ugly... but not a ugly ship. What would happen if I was in a junk yard with all of the ships I had? What would I toss together? So I just went for it! I took one of that, and then some of those, and then two of those, and then, and then, and then. By time the cutting torch had cooled, and the welding done. The core of the ship was Z95 nose to cockpit, and Xwing back of cockpit to tail. For fire power two sets of Z95 missile pods on the X's S Foils, and two sets of Starviper guns. For power I cut off two sets of E-wing engines. (When the Kihraxz get here I will be clipping its engines to swap out, and the E-wings will get theirs back.)

All in all I killed,

1 - X-wing

2 - Z95's

2 - Starvipers

2- E-wings

Now adding that all up if I was going to make a replacement ship... $115! That is if I got everything MSRP. Now I spend that much on a ship I feel it can S*** gold for all I care.

To use this ship as much as I can in game play because its not like I can make a custom card with a 6-6-5-4, and it be use able. (double for Viper gun value, double for E-wing evade, then add X-wing and Z95 hulls an shield.) I run this as my "lead" ship. For the most part I use it as a Starviper "skin mod". But really I have used it for Everything... just as long as I get to use it. Its mine after all! It make the battle a little more personal. It has gotten to the point I feel naked with out it in a squad build.

I also from Mels Miniatures have Naboo N1 Starfighters! I normally run the N1's as M3a's with mangler cannons. Its funny having the cute little N1's just running around for lack of a better word mangling everything. They make bright targets as I run around in my ZXE-Sv cleaning things up.

Anyone do this other then me? How do you have your set ups?

First of all - man was that topic title disturbing. I'm not Bossk, I don't want to skin any of the mods (even the ugly ones).

Secondly... any chance of a pic of the finished ugly?

I'll go ahe and say it; I'd never play a game against a custom ship with those stats. 6 attack and 6 evade are not okay

But... did you use a lot of lotion?

Absolutely.

Proxying as a regular ship is probably the most common way to use an unusual model. Not all that many people actually create custom cards, and not all that many people want to play against custom cards (because most armchair game designers aren't actually very good at it).

And, second vote for wanting to see pictures.

Yeah, 6-6-5-4 isn't a good ship, gamewise, but even logically a bit.

You'd have to integrate so many components.

And powering up the engines and extra weapons is either going to require a big powerplant or making decisions.

3-2-4-3 would be a bit more realistic for an ugly like that.

Then possibly the following ability:

At the beginning of the combat phase you may choose one of the following:

increase your attack by two then receive one ion token

increase your agility by two then receive a weapons disabled token

Hunk-of-Junk.

OK, did you guys read his post? Why are you bringing up the 6-6-5-4 thing when he said

its not like I can make a custom card with a 6-6-5-4, and it be use able.

He says he CAN'T create a card like that.

what he is asking is if its cool to proxy a weird converted ship as something standard.

The answer, of course, it that it depends on the people you play with, but it is not uncommon to do that.

No, he knows he can't because it'd be silly.

But you can spec it down and make a more realistic custom pilot for it. :) .

Did make you look....

We have The League of Ugly as we call it. Its a run what you brung kind of games. You can not do more then double stats for parts used is really the only rule. What you say is there is on there, NO pilot ability just ship stats, and whatever stats you have is made up via parts used. One guy has a Vt-49 that has two sets of Corvette guns, and its a **** ***** to take down. Yeah lets roll for 8 attack... The League of Ugly where the points don't matter, and it can get out of hand.

But... did you use a lot of lotion?

Superglue?

As for the ship here you go, but as I said I still want Kihraxz engines. Other then that I guess its done.
