I just finished reading Lost Stars by Claudia Gray, which I enjoyed. It introduced the Carona Squadron (all X-wing ships), and follows them for the later portions of the book.

So I got thinking about that squadron and just had to come up with abilities for them in X-wing. Which is perfect because I think anyone who has seriously played X-wing will agree that the games namesake really is a weak ship for its cost.

I tried my best to create abilities that would be fun and tough enough to justify flying an X-wing, but not over powered.

Anyways let me know what you all think, especially those of you who have read the book.

I posted this in my Lost Stars thread but

Thane Kyrell (Xwing PS 7) 27: You may execute red maneuvers even when stressed

Cienna Ree (Intercepter PS 7) 26: When you reveal a green maneuver friendly ships at range one may perform a free focus action

I haven't read the book, but the wording is a bit hard to follow with the first two pilots.

For Kendy Idele - "When attacking, you may spend a focus to change any dice result to a 'crit' result." I think that's what you were going for.

For Kyrele I would make it simpler - "You may treat any maneuver on your dial as a red maneuver, if you do so, your primary weapon value and agility are increased by 1 until the end of the round." The Wired EPT would be pretty good on him.

I like the last guys ability. Its pretty powerful without it being crazy good.
