Slave II

By darthkray, in X-Wing

Sorry if this was posted a million times before. I wonder if FFG will make this. Rear firing torpedoes would be interesting.

Probably not. Its more likely that Boba still has Slave 1 in the new TFA canon, because it is iconic and looks better.

I personaly never liked the idea of Boba giving up Slave 1.

do we even know if The Fett is alive in the new canon ?

That ship quite honestly looks horrible, rivaled only by the droid tri-fighter, with at the very least has more detail.

Just to flesh this topic out a bit more (pay attention darthkray)

The Slave II is a Pursuer Class starship used by Boba Fett.

It carried some guards and prisoners, so there's room for crew.

It was also used by the Azzameen rivals in X-Wing Alliance, the Viraxo. This would give us another title: the Enkidu, and also some pilot options.

The Slave II had a rear torpedo arc and upgraded maneuvering thrusters. The title would possibly give you more green maneuvers.

The Enkidu was seen planting illegal goods, so an illicit slot and a 0 maneuver aren't out of the question.

As a Slave II you'd be stuck with a third iteration of Boba Fett as a pilot, while he also will exist as a crew card. That is a bit much.

The Viraxo however would be feasible.

Well, word of god has it that he survived, the scene never made it to the final script though.

I don't know, but I think it is likely that there is at least some sort of mandalorian presence due to how popular they are. The story of Boba escaping the Sarlacc exists and doesn't conflict with anything relevant, so Disney might just pick it up. If they do he sure as hell will fly Slave 1 should he ever go into space. Maybe there is just going to be a very minor appeareance of the ship that then later is put into a story.

That's an ugly ship. I might scratch build one out of a doorstop XD

I think it's inevitable given that it's one of the Azzameen families ships. I expect them all to be in the game eventually.

Well, it has been said that they're making a Boba Fett movie. So they may be saving that confirmation for that.

It really is an ugly ship. Just seems very "bleh" - no character, nothing.

That's a dirty Viraxo!

Bah, you're right.

Usually my star wars knowledge is very notable, but here I have absolutely no clue what you all are talking about :blink::mellow:

Is that ship even cannon and of its not.....

Let's assume Lucas and and Disney realize how popular this character is and keeps him alive

And somewhere in the next 3 movies he reappears

I'm fairly certain this will not be the ship he uses.

So I expect a slave 2 at some point however this is not the ship your looking for

A ship of this class, called the Enkidu, was encountered a few times when playing X-Wing: Alliance.

It belonged to the criminal transport family Viraxo, while you were a member of their arcrivals: the Azzameen (Emon Azzameen, the Firespray Scum pilot is a brother).

As we already have one, we might as well bring in the whole family of Azzameens, they have a bunch of ships the game might use such as a YT-2000, a YT-1300, a GR-75 and an Action IV.

You could, with some proxying, design your own cards for the whole family to bring them into the S&V faction.

As a Slave II you'd be stuck with a third iteration of Boba Fett as a pilot, while he also will exist as a crew card. That is a bit much.

I'd be okay with that because it opens the door for Maarek Stele on other ships.

Granted, Boba Fett is already in the game twice, but it's on the same ship, and the 2nd one just feels like it's meant to fix the mistake of the Firespray ever being Imperial in the first place.

All of this.

FS-31 should never have been imp. I can see why it was done, but....... no.

I'd like Stele in a Defender. SO MUCH!

Defender aces, Vader and Stele in defenders.

Stele and Soontir in Defenders.

The Defender is one of the ships Soontir served as a test pilot for.

Could, and have:

...although admittedly these were done... oh... 18 months ago,before S&V was even a splinter in the mind's eye, and need serious updating...

Indeed. They should totally be S&V.

Granted, Ace is about as Rebel as they come by the end of Alliance, but he starts out the game as S&V.

Well, you could massively mod the game of course.

Take every pilot and assign them a few types of ships they can be in. Deduct from their squad cost the number for the cheapest ship in their original line.

That would for instance put Tycho at 9 points, Wedge at 8, Corran at 8, Soontir at 9, Vader at 8 (which is actually a point lower than I'd expected him to be).

Every shiptype has the base cost of the current lowest PS.

Now, let's say we give Corran a T-70, would that break him at 32 points? Would Horton be overpowered in a B-Wing? Vader in a Defender at 38?

I don't believe there are pilots whose ability would be broken on another ship currently. And you could just disallow that ship for that pilot.

I just realized why YT1300 isn't scum.

Boba + Han on same team would break everything.

I felt the same way. Sort of a blind-spot.

But wouldn't it be delightful?
