A Six Point Ship

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

I want one!

It would be great cannon fodder! No one wants to waste shooting the six pointer!

It would be annoying as all get out when it did land damage!

What a great blocker!

It would let us run 16 ships on the board at once!

It would have to have half of the effectiveness of a TIE Fighter, or close to it.

8 TIEs equal (1 TIE is 3 HP, 2 Red, 3 Green):

24 HP

16 Red Dice

24 Green Dice

The same numbers applied over 16 ships equal a single fighter with the following stats:

1.5 HP

1 Red Dice

1.5 Green Dice

I say make these little dudes fast, give them 1 HP, 1 Red Die, and 2 Green Dice, and give them target lock, boost, and barrel roll.

What ship do you think would fit this, or maybe what other stats do you think would fit a 6 point ship?

idk about regular play, but epic has a 12 of the same ship maximum doesnt it? that would put a bit of a damper on this.

Competitively dead on arrival. Not nearly efficient enough to compete against U-boats etc etc.

Are you kidding me? U-Boats HATE swarms. They've shot their six torps and there's still 10 ships left!

LOL. Set that hook real good.

There's already one. It's called the Nashtah Pup.

I'm just dreaming of loading up with Assault missiles and ruthlessness.

And anyway what does its dial look like? It might be viable with a 1 S-Loop....

It's not the right expansion pack for the game right now....

So many more ships deserving an upgrade...

It's a blatant money grab trying to get people to buy sixteen of them....

They would need a free re-roll ability on offense of some kind. Not a two dice attack, because landing two damage is too much at that price.

Or if there was a cannon slot they could equip the Flechette Cannon for 2 points and have a 3 dice attack.

Then you could run 12 of them.

I think it'd be a fun list to fly, but the one red die isn't going to scratch anything.

I totally agree, fix what we got first... I'm just saying I want one eventually.

Who the heck would want to be a pilot of a 6 point ship? No me that's for sure.

Or they could have some sort of weird ability such that when they do get a hit through that ship takes 1 stress and/or ion token. Or maybe a built in tractor beam type ability that they can lower a ships agility. Something that plays to the swarm aspect, so that while one hit won't hurt you, the more and more they pile up, the tougher life gets.

Sounds like you want a Confederacy Droid Starfighter.

Jar Jar and Anne!

Oh crap, I just went prequel. NEVER go full prequel!

Put a unique pilot on it with 3 EPT slots, 2 Sys slots, and a couple of crew slots... people will fly dat.

LOL 1 shot and *poof* there goes 30 points....

Autothrusters scoffs at the thought of a one attack die ship.

Droid fighters from the prequels. Not sure about six points though

PS 1

2 attack

2 agility

1 hull

1 shield

Only action on action bar would be barrel roll. So no focus or target lock.

There's already one. It's called the Nashtah Pup.

You just need to pay a (minimum) 29 point premium to field it.

Autothrusters scoff at a lot of things, to be fair.

No! I may like Y-TIEs but at least they have some good qualities. I'm not goin' to have 16 stupidly built die-wing uglies flyin' around the board. They are the opposite of the Y-TIE and combine the worst aspects of the Y-wing and TIE fighter. That's what you're asking for and I can tell you just keeping track of 16 ship would kill ya.

Not if there's a cannon on it!

Hmmm... yeah, it would be EXHAUSTING to keep track of.

What do you think the stats on it would be?

2/2/1/1?

I think this point cost and stat line would work for a Ssi-Ruuvi Droid fighter. Give it some silly fluffy rule for swarming and your good to go.

Swarms wreck my head as it is! But for giggles;

2-2-3-0 statline.

Only has focus action action. Or maybe has no action on its bar at all!

Only has modification slot.

Dial like a Ywing but doesn't have a Kturn.

Only has generic PS1 pilot.

That's how I see a 6pt ship looming if it was to be if any use whatsoever.
