Imperial ship idea

By BleakSquadron, in X-Wing

I can't speak for wookieepedia, but I remember it's wreckage in Jedi Knight, and recall seeing it in Dark Forces.

The wookieepedia source size is larger than it's in game model comparison.

At first I was skeptical but it looks like he's right. (Assuming Wookieepedia is correct.

This is a photo from the forums showing the 29 meter long HWK next to the 12.5 meter X-wing. It definitely looks a bit short.

But based on it's original source material...

Wookieepedia is a great reference but... sometimes it gets an official stat from somewhere that just makes no sense.

After posting that image, I did some looking and I definitely agree with you.

I have no idea where the 29 meters is coming from. It is definitely just slightly bigger than an X-wing as opposed to more than twice the size. I should've known better seeing as I've played through the Dark Forces games. :P

Yeaah. Based on the above I'd estimate around 16-18 meters.

To be fair, Dark forces was over 20 years ago. Some of us have slept since then.

Er, isn't the Lambda Shuttle the Imperial B-Wing? The dial fix is coming. It's called Electronic Baffler.

That thing is gonna be plenty viable at 22pts. Good crew options, too.

Instead of the "cloaking" upgrade, since it's cool the Phantom is the cloaker in the game. How about something like a Mod called "Radar Disruption" Imperial Only:

"When a red target lock is removed from your ship, roll 1 green die. On an eye or evade result, receive 1 evade token."

This gives a cloak like effect where enemies suffer from using TLs, rolling green die doesnt guarantee it, so it wont be too strong. Also, wouldnt divert people using TL on the ship, just provide a bit of Defense for imperials. Nice combo abilities with Expert Handling to BR and possibly gain an evade as well. Interceptors wont use over Stealth or AT. Basically would help Tie's, and the less agile ships that dont have boost for AT?
