Custom Card League: Submit your entries now!

By Babaganoosh, in X-Wing

with the wave 9 reveal can we eliminate all ships that are now officially coming to the game? (arc-170s, fang fighters, etc.)

This discussion is being had in the other thread for the voting.

there is another thread?

Guess I didn't see it could you send me the link?

I've decided to apologetically DQ the entries which now have official ships.

I'd encourage those who have submitted entries for Wave 9 ships to not trash their ideas completely, but look for a similar ship to apply their ideas to, or perhaps apply the pilot abilities to existing ships.

Just a thought.

Yeah; the unique pilots that people developed (for any custom ship) can probably be applied to one of the top 4 eventually. I'll be able to announce winners probably late Monday.

Long story short; ARC 170s, Mandalorian fighters, and TIE/SFs are being gently disqualified from the running. Future leagues will make clear that this is a possibility ahead of time, but I was caught off guard this time around.

I see no problem with that. I'm glad those ships made it to the game (even if they wasn't those I hoped for).

OK....I have been inspired by the new Wave. It's not too late for upgrade card submissions, right? Seeing the Fang Fighter and how they made it an awesome Jouster, I want to do something for the Kihraxz Fighter. It's supposed to be highly customizable, so why not have a bunch of different titles? You can only take one title, so it does limit you.

I have already submitted the Light Kihraxz Fighter that gives you the Unhinged Astromech slot for 0 pts (you still pay for the mech). Here are some more:

Leebo.jpg

CUSTOM JOB

Kihraxz Fighter Only Title

You may equip your ship with a Modification for -2 pts.

0 pt Title

Or....

swx31_preview3.jpg

Medium Kihraxz Fighter

Kihraxz Fighter Only Title

When defending at Range 2, if the enemy is in your firing arc, you can add a FOCUS RESULT to your total.

0 pt Title

Kihraxz.jpg

Heavy Kihraxz Fighter

Kihraxz Fighter Only Title

You can equip your ship with two MODFICATION SYMBOLS

0 pt Title

My thoughts are that you can do a lot of different things with the Kihrazx. The Light title lets you get an astromech, which is always nice. Custom Job lets you get a Mod for cheaper and you can have it be almost anything. You want Boost, but Engine Upgrade is kind of expensive? You get it for only 2 pts. Hull Upgrade or Stealth Device are only a single point. Shield Upgrade is only 2. So, it can either make your Kihraxz more maneuverable or more survivable, depending on what you want, without making it cost too much. Medium Kihraxz is just there to help it be a jouster and survive. I figured it would be different from the Fang if you make it at R2. It makes it a bit better than the Fang title as you will be at R2 more often than R1, but the Fang title gives you a free Evade and this just gives you an extra Eyeball result. So, you would still have to have a Focus or Glitterstim to make it work. It would allow your Kihraxz to be real jouster. It would also make the two named guys more survivable at R2.

EDIT: forgot about Royal Guard title as precedent.

Heavy Kihraxz title is the only one that costs a point because no ship can get two mods in the game and having the ability to do so should cost something. You pay full price for both, but if you want to have Engine Upgrade and Vertical Thrusters on Cobra Talonbane, you can. Or a ship with a Shield and Hull. Or...whatever crazy you want.

I think you can add these to find some really interesting uses for Kihrazx Fighters as jousters...as intended.

I'd love feedback and thoughts.

I like the idea of emphasizing the customization aspect of the K. Fits well with the fluff of the ship, such as it is, and could give it some legs ingame.

Here you go Chadwick.

I reworded the cards in the style of similar cards already released.

tumblr_o87eb3fzfT1vuhrgho4_250.jpg

I liked your Modification focused upgrades for the Kihraxz, so I thought they needed some scummy modifications to go along with it to really give the ship a flavour it was missing.

tumblr_o87eb3fzfT1vuhrgho5_250.jpg

For you insane gamblers out there, the ones who really want to play the dice and see what it can get them. This thing could be brutal to an enemy... or to you.

tumblr_o87eb3fzfT1vuhrgho2_250.jpg

I honestly just imagined the Kihrazx and the Starviper going hard on a turn and then letting the inertia carry them into an interesting shot. I think it could be a very fun mod for those two.

Gonna add "small ship only" to Removed Failsafes to not allow insane 4 dice PWT. Also forgot the 1 point on Heavy title.

Here you go Chadwick.

You sure, are a gentleman and a scholar. I appreciate your help! I'm out of LIKES.

Please consider this my FINAL SUBMISSION.

I like your Modifications, too.

Pilot, jetpack gunner, and brother to a serial killer, Wyborn joined the Rebel Alliance to show the real worth of gungans to the galaxy. He had a hard time finding the courage to stand up to Tandem 391, but refused to stoop their (or more importantly, his brother's) level. He quite eagerly signed onto Gale's plot to destroy Tandem 391 and was commended for his valor.

Wow, that's quite a group you guys are running. Sounds like where my DnD group was going. It always starts with killing prisoners...

I thought the upgrade submissions were supposed to be related to winning ships.

Is there any point in submitting upgrades before June 5 if the voting on ships isn't done?

If you release the vote results with some time before the upgrade deadline,

then I can decide whether to bother with upgrades that aren't related to ships.

Otherwise I'm going to dump a ridiculous number of upgrades on a guess.

I'm also curious what you are going to do about ties in the voting.

Edited by gabe69velasquez

We can still submit upgrades, right? Apologies for the text only; I'm no graphics whiz.

R9-D9 [ASTROMECH] {1}

Reduce the cost of equipped [TORPEDO] secondary weapons by 2 points. If you spend a target lock to fire a [TORPEDO] secondary weapon, you may immediately gain a target lock on the same target.

(Why? I want a way to make it thematically appropriate and a bit more action-effective to take torpedoes on X-wings, without overpowering Y- or E-wings.]

Jabba The Hutt [3 x CREW] {6}

Each ship in your squad gains an [iLLICIT] upgrade icon. Place an Extra Munitions token on all equipped [iLLICIT] upgrades; the first time you are directed to discard an [iLLICIT] upgrade discard the token instead.

(Why? He's large, in charge, and encourages illicit dealings, of course!)

Kowakian Lizard Monkey [CREW] {3}

When you are dealt a damage card, you may discard any equipped upgrade card to discard the damage card.

(Why? Bwa-ha-ha-ha!)

Bantha Poodoo [CANNON, MISSILE, TORPEDO, or TURRET] {1}

This upgrade does nothing.

(Why? Because lizard monkeys throw Bantha feces, that's why!)

It's a good point, I probably should have a period between the end of ship voting and submission deadline for upgrades and pilots. All unique pilots that were put up alongside the custom ships are automatically going to be considered entries.

I'll extend the deadline for upgrade and pilot submissions to Wednesday to give people time to react to the voting.

As of now, I can say with good certainty that we will see the assault gunboat, sorosuub luxury yacht, and V-wing (the first entry).

The fourth ship isnt clear yet.

Bantha Poodoo [CANNON, MISSILE, TORPEDO, or TURRET] {1}

It's annoying when people make that mistake.

*And no, you don't feed people to Bantha.

*And little monkey's don't throw people.

*Clarifying "Fodder" is irrelevant, it's "Bantha Fodder" not "Canon Fodder."

Not an official entry, just for scenarios.

Final Submission

  • Ace, Aeron Azzameen & Savan - Named Zhead'hunter, YT-1300 (ORS template) & Starviper Pilots. (notes on the spoiler)

ace-az10.jpg - aeron-10.jpg - savan-10.jpg

design note :

Ace Azzameen : I designed him as a crossfaction pilot. You can add Ace in a rebel or a scum squadron. Ace get the same restriction as is squadron (cannot equip "scum only" card if he's in a rebel squadron).
Aeron Azzameen : The defending verison of 4-Lom (crew) effect is a perfect flavor match with the "slicer" profile of Aeron. I think the ORS template it's a sweet spot to bring more variety in the rebel faction.

Savan (Xizor's niece) : Starviper needs some love and news named pilots. The defensive side of Savan made her tough to kill by PTL-aces. I choose a ion mechanic for the attack because a stress-based bonus will be active too often.

  • Others Cards (notes on the spoiler)

talon-11.jpg - selu-f11.jpg

design note :
Talon Karrde : he adds some modularity to your squadron. Thanks VanderLegion for the help on the wording.
Selu : one of the Azzameen ship. Trying to match the background with the tractor beam and the additional icon. I choose the tech slot over the the sensor because FCS on Rey/Chewie/Solo it's maybe too much.

All these are Finial submissions, of my Write up Characters and upgrades.
