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?

Babaganoosh, you should probably link to this in your front page post.

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.

So, I'm just wondering how this is going to affect the voting, since these ships are coming out officially.

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:

CUSTOM JOB

Kihraxz Fighter Only Title

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

0 pt Title

Or....

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Babaganoosh kindly pointed out that my URLs were wonky, so I'm reposting my cards with Photobucket.

These are all characters from the EotE, FaD, and AoR campaigns I've been in.

Edge of the Empire

Captain of the Bolstered Artisan.

Carried its crew through Edge of the Empire and two cameos in Force and Destiny.

First mate of the Bolstered Artisan, eventual wife to the captain.

Wookiee bounty hunter with no life debts, he just likes shooting stuff. Joined Tandem 391 in Age of Rebellion, later incinerated by Boba Fett.

Black Sun Vigo who kept the Bolstered Artisan crew under his thumb with loaded contracts. Executed by Szorla Dimm.

Tried to resurrect Marka Ragnos. Shot in the face by Captain Averross.

Force and Destiny

Jedi Exile who left the Bolstered Artisan to join a fledgling Jedi Order on Onderon known as "The Watchtower." Accidentally brought the hammer of the Empire down onto Onderon.

What started as a Saul Goodman gag would later become "the dingbat who handed evidence of Jedi activity to the Empire, thus dooming Onderon." Probably in protective custody, probably executed. Who knows?

Captain of the Royal Commandos, a CIS division turned paramilitary police force. Has an avowed hatred of Jedi that was completely validated by the events of the campaign. Killed during a mission to destroy damning evidence before it reached Onderon's Moff. The Unbreakable card exemplifies his death.

Second in command of the Royal Commandos. Served as a contact for the Jedi. Survived the Imperial invasion and secured the safety of the last heir of the royal line.

De Facto leader of The Watchtower. A jaded idealist skilled in Battle Meditation, not even her strength and leadership could undo player stupidity...

Killed by Darth Vader.

Apprentice to Tenja who uses the Force to push machinery beyond their natural limit. Helped resurrect an ancient Jedi who turned out to be the Sith Lord, Freedon Nadd and lost her leg in the process. Became a full-fledged Jedi Knight when she gave her life stopping an overloading transport engine from destroying a city block.

Former mercenary whose inclination to act without thinking has a tendency to result in great loss of life. Attempted to join the newly resurrected Freedon Nadd. Lost an arm to another PC's lightsaber. Lost his head to that same PC's boot.

A Grey Jedi practitioner of Ataru. In the Imperial invasion, was cut down by stormtrooper gunfire and executed by Darth Vader.

Grey Jedi medic who fled the Imperial Invasion. Horrified at having the death an an entire city on his conscience, he attempted to find redemption in the Rebel Alliance. Was assigned to a black ops unit known as Tandem 391...

Age of Rebellion

A deeply disturbed individual who carried out despicable war crimes under the belief that they were "necessary," even if less violent, more sane alternatives were viable. Dragged Tandem 391 down to his level of moral degeneration. Killed when his self-heating envirosuit was overloaded by Sargas Desertblast.

Commander of Alliance black ops team Tandem 391. Received dishonorable discharge for failing to do anything about Cab.

PTSD-stricken officer of Tandem 391 with a mild booster blue addiction and frequent punching bag for Cab. Faked his death so he could build evidence against 391's war crimes. Survived, but lost his eye in a nearly fatal fistfight with Cab.

Dark Jedi pilot that was probably tortured to death by Tandem 391.

Cathar slicer with a fixation on gumbo. Was complicit in Tandem 391's crimes and arrested by Boba Fett.

Tandem 391's medical scientist. Also guilty and arrested by Boba Fett, will likely die in prison.

The last heir of the royal line of Onderon with knowledge in information warfare, was brought to the Rebel Alliance for her safety by Lt. Petru, but was assigned to Tandem 391. As the survivor of a target mass-killing of civilians, Gale was deeply disgusted by Tandem 391's casual mass-killings of civilians and masterminded the operation to bring them down.

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.

What a trilogy we had...

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.

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}

This upgrade does nothing.

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

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bantha_fodder

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."

Revisited this because it's so iconic.

Not an official entry, just for scenarios.

Is that... a rastafarian Wookiee??

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

Poodoo means fodder in Huttese.
