It will be much like this:

(hopefully)

HLC all day!

That looks really good. I don't know that the auxiliary arc and extra hull should be so pricy. I would take the hull off altogether.

Have to see it in action to see if the canon slot is warranted. I agree the hull shouldn't be above 3 and the points need to drop at that cost it'll never see play. I like the minimum PS of 3 too

Amazing looking mockup

But at 28 points, even the prefix advance thinks it's a joke

Also if the dial isn't any different, it could just be a fo title

It's like a mini space cow

Give it 3 Hull and make it 22 points and you got a deal

So is the 'antenna' on the top starboard of the pod an actual cannon that pivots forward like on the toy? Not sure if that justifies a cannon slot. I do like the tech slot. I would say either cannon or system, not both.

28 points and 2 primary is not gonna fly. Maybe it should be 3 attack at that cost, and even then is this worth more than or the same as the Starviper and E-wing?

That's an antenna really, like this:

The turret is located under the fuselage. You can see the ship shooting backwards in the episode VII trailer.

Here are more images of the ship.

WTH? How do I delete the duplicated posts?

(still not cheap enough?)

What if.... It dident have a cannon slot but had a title card that let it make a second attack from the front or rear arc????

Can you help me with the wording?

I wouldn't even know where to start.... Might need to make it so that u can only make the extra attack if u have the crew member to gun it.... Makes sense

How about something like this, remove the Cannon Slot and add this Modification card:

Integrated Blaster Turret

Tie Special Forces Only, Modification

After you make an attack with your Primary weapon you may make another attack from your Primary or Secondary Firing arc, you do not have to attack the same target.

(This ability can only be used once per combat phase)

Cost: 0

That doesn't even seem close to being right. Why would it have a cannon when it's secondary weapon is clearly either a turret, or just an auxiliary firing arc.

And I don't think it deserves a Crew slot. Not every ship with a gunner/co-pilot gets a Crew slot. See: Y-Wings.

That said, does need Special Forces Pilot with EPT slot.

Will SF be more of a 4 hull ship instead of a shielded ship? Something to make it different from the TIE-FO.

Giving the Empire their first ever small "Turret ship" might make for an interesting niche.

Yes, an interesting niche...

...that rightfully belongs to the TIE Aggressor!

Delete the cannon, change the icon to turret, delete the aux arc for a standard arc, delete the system slot.

Not sure on the points; if it's got a dial like an fo, I'd say 20 points.

I'd wager that it has better shielding than a standard FO tie. I also think there won't be a cannon slot but it will have an aux arc. Just a prediction but there will be a SF Tie only mod or tech upgrade that allows you to attack from both arcs in the same turn.

Nifty mock up. Balancing that thing will be tough, it's probably going to be a 330 just to make measuring arcs easier, or at least that's my hunch.
