Engine Ring Stabilizer

By Darksyde, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Anyone know how many hp this is and if there is a Sil limit? Thanks!

You mean the hyperspace rings? They are in both the AoR and F&D core. The Edge one is limited to sil 3, the FaD one is only for the Jedi starfighter series craft. No HP required on either.

It is apparently an attachment in Mask of the Pirate Queen.

hyperspace ring? What is this thing you speak of? oh wait, is this the name for that thing Obi-Wan used in Attack of the Clones?

No. It is an attachment from an adventure book that increases handling. I just don't have all the stats as I do not have that adventure and was hoping one of you guys might have it in your stack!

I know what you're talking about, and it is in Mask, but I'm AFB.

IIRC, the author of that little gem has spoken up and said that he wanted a way to explain how that ship had better handling, and so he gave it this previously unheard of attachment.

They have not been explained or detailed anywhere else.

So, you and your GM should feel free to treat them the same way as everything else that gets named and given to an Adversary, or otherwise completely and totally un-detailed as far as the game is concerned.

Ummm... maybe I'm missing something from page 82, but... where are you getting this?

Because that's nowhere to be found in my copy.

It's in the profile description of the Renegade's Blood .

Just a tip to OP, I'd probably say this could easily be a silhouette 5-only attachment. I guess you could say a silhouette 4-5 would work, and maybe 6, but I would personally restrict it to larger vehicles. I'd also make some trade-offs, such as reducing system strain, and making it so the basic attachment only raises handling by +1, while allowing a mod to increase it by another +1.

CUSTOMIZATIONS

Engine Ring Stabilizer: +2 handling (this has already been factored into the Renegade’s Blood’s profile above). This occupies one of the ship’s hard points.
That's what my book says... but nothing about price, rarity, mods...
I wonder if there are two editions of the book? Otherwise, I'm wondering where Arrakus got that...?

I'd say it could go on Sil 4 ships, at least. IIRC, the Millennium Falcon had a similar modification which is why it could maneuver like a starfighter instead of a light freighter.

I'm not sure it would be that much of a gamebreaker even on Sil 3 starfighters. Few starfighters have more than the single hardpoint required, meaning you're choosing +2 handling instead of better shields, better targeting, better armor, better speed...

any word on this? I'm curious if my copy of MotPQ is missing something, or if people are making up the additional details.

Apologizes for the delay.

I pulled it from OggDude's Chargen.

Not sure where the price and rarity came from if it is not in the book. Perhaps a FAQ from the author.

Might be worth asking in OggDude's Chargen thread.

Coolio... thanks. The specs 'as-is' are good enough for me. I just wanted to be sure that something wasn't awry...

Beltayn? Is that you?

Uhh, OggDude is known to sometimes just invent stats for stuff.

Personally, I think he does a great job at it, but there have been at least a couple of occasions where he invented rarity and other attributes for an item that otherwise haven’t been statted by FFG.

If you want to stick with “Canon” items that have been statted by FFG, you have to use the books published by FFG. We try to keep up with the publications at [1], but I can’t make any promises.

However, when we list an item, we do make sure to give you a book and page number reference. All of the officially statted items from MotPQ can be found at [2], and you will note that the “Engine Ring Stabilizer” is not on that list. The closest you get is the ship stat block we have for the “Renegade’s Blood” at [3], which notes that they have this attachment, but beyond that and providing a page reference, there is nothing else about the ERS.
