Pretty sure aVa is a production thing.

I don't know much about these ships, but I do know that they follow the 73rd rule of star wars space fighters, if something can spin, but there is no reason for it to spin, it should still spin, spinning things are cool. ...and they can shoot faster because of it.

thats a good trick

I rather like the ships. The spinning wings are a neat touch and kinda make sense when you consider they cover they target a wider region than stationary wings.

I mean I would just... Like... Put the guns on the nose, if I were the designer. But that's just me.

But I do love this design. It's so cool.

Not that cheap. Compare to the A-Wing (+Chardaan Refit)

Its what I was thinking with a 4 point title that lets you take an upgrade "Rapid Fire". After you perform an attack you may perform a free barrel roll action, you may also perform a 2nd attack"

Yup - Wookieepedia has a policy of following the Databank to the letter - even in obvious cases of error.

I have no problem with that policy.

If there's an official source, Wookieepedia SHOULD be using that source. Even if logic dictates that it's wrong.

Complaints should be directed at the people writing the Databank wrong. Not Wookieepedia.

15pts seems spot on. The new TAP has 2a, 3d, 2h, 2s and is 16. The loss of 1 shield and add of 1 hull seems to be roughly worth 1 point (as noted by the Kihraz over the T-65). It should have a movement profile pretty much identical too, or very close to, the A-wing (or the Interceptor, since those two are very close admittedly) with maybe a Sloop or Troll included (because some other ships need those).

with "can't hit a named target"

for the show taste xD

When there's an "official source contradiction" Wookieepedia usually mentions it - as it did with the Super Star Destroyers. Thus it should have been mentioned here.

Whoever'd copied the Databank info should have seen at the time how obvious the error is - and put in the comment at the end.

Hera did get hit but maybe "can not destroy named target"

People still watch this show?

People still post things just to troll others?

It's what fuels the internet... no more troll posts, no more internet

You mistake surprise for trolling good sir.

I honestly thought it was a goner after the first season.

The first few episodes were just OK, but it got quite good by the end of the first season. I think the end of the first season was better than the end of The Clone Wars first season.

The end of the 1st season had Tarkin, nuff said.

Yup, that's why I don't really watch it any more. (I mean, I do... but only when I'm REALLY bored)

I hate that they have to shoehorn people from the original movies into shows like this constantly.

There was enough of that going on in the EU, and I was hoping it would stop with the eradication of the old EU material, but alas, disney are doing it too.

In a galaxy with over 100 quadrillion sentient beings living in it, we keep seeing the same 10-20 characters pop up over and over.

Apparantly the Imperial government has only two people that can handle something as "major" as a rogue freighter with some rebel hoodlums on it.

And those two people happen to be the Grand Moff Tarkin, in control of the entire oversector, containing thousands upon thousands of inhabited planets, and the right hand of the Emperor himself, Darth Vader.

Because apparantly, the rest of the galaxy was just surprisingly peaceful

It just irks me.

They could (and should) have stayed with the Inquisitor and Agent Kallus being the top ranking enemies.

AT MOST, they should have made a short guest appearance of Vader or Tarkin on a holo transmission to show that the band of rebels were getting attention from "upstairs". But only after a very long time, say maby in season 3-4.

Directly involving Vader and Tarkin in season 1 was just pathetic IMHO, since they wouldn't be directly involved with such a petty incident.

And yes, it is a petty incident.

The two basically rule the entire galaxy.

A jedi shows up?

They send an inquisitor. That inquisitor dies?

They send some more.

NOT FRIKKIN' VADER.

And Tarkin just shouldn't even get involved, since his responsibility is to oversee the oversector(s) under his command.

It's like the CEO of a multinational company showing up at the local hick-town warehouse to shout at the manager for some petty thefts.

It's just not plausible.

Sorry... rant over

That Inquisitor ended up as the Grand Inquisitor - head of all the Inquisitors.

Still "send two" might have made more sense coming before "send Vader" - but Tarkin, after losing his own ship, went right to the top.

As for why Tarkin got involved in the first place - that was probably because important materials for his own pet project the Death Star (that kyber crystal blown up aboard a Gozanti transport) were being lost.

Yep. It's not the actions of the small group of rebels so much as the location of them that gets the upstairs attention. Between the Empires interest in Lothal itself and the propaganda transmissions, I think the show does an ok job justifying the level of attention the Lothal cell gets in season 1. When critiquing the show you have to remember it's primarily a kids show. If that means it's not for you personally, that's totally fair. I can see why adults, even Star Wars fans, wouldn't be overly invested.

Personally though, I'm still enjoying the show. We aren't seeing the nascent Rebellion roflstomp the Empire or even have a particularly easy time. Just recently the cell had to be bailed out by powerful friends (Princess on Lothal episode) after heavy losses and then we see the shows premier pilot get taken out. Ok, plot armour means she survives but it was nice to see her in Xwing terms get destroyed.

Edit... Thought we were in the actual Rebels thread.

As for the ships, I think the Gauntlet or whatever it is, would be a good Awing/Tie Interceptor equivalent for S&V. I think I'd rather it hade 3 firepower though. Would fit with how quickly the Awings get taken out fluff wise and gameplay wise just look how often we see the interceptor vs the awing. Maybe differentiate from the A and Interceptor by having BR not Boost.The loss of AT would be balanced by a 3H 1S profile along with the 3 attack. It's not a duplicate of either but with a similar dial would give the S&V a ship that fills that role.

It could be worse... I mean imagine Tarkin and Vader jumping around the galaxy in a pirate ship chasing Tarkin's corvette that a bunch of terrorist stole from a parking lot. THAT would be stupid.

Stupider than a movie where the heroes are a bunch of terrorists who blow up a government facility with the aid of a farmboy with magic powers who's taking advice from a dead wizard? Or a movie where said terrorists blow up a second government facility with the aid of man-eating teddy bears?

If you're looking for sensible stories in Star Wars, you're probably onto a loser. It's all about the execution. And Tarkin 's execution is quite enjoyable. James Luceno is a reasonably engaging writer.

On topic: I like this ship for S&V. More variety is always good, and we've got a named pilot straight away.

I would love that ship in the game, I could definitely see it being the Scum A-Wing, very agile and maneuverable. Although I've seen some hate for the whole spinning wings thing making no sense, which I concede...but I also state that splitting wings into a X shaped formation for no apparent reason, also makes no sense.

Don't mean to be argumentative, but im basing my view of how much the pilot skill one Interceptor costs, 18 points. So you just made an interceptor, with one less attack, one more durabilty, added a target lock, and made it cheaper.

I mean, that's PROBABLY correct. Attack is by far the most valuable stat, points-wise.

come to think of it, add Sloops and its a Tie/fo. so make it the same price as that!
