Custom Card League: VOTE on custom pilots now!

By Babaganoosh, in X-Wing

So, like... what happens if the voted in ships dont actually get any of the proposed pilots in the top 15? Shouldnt it be, like the top 2 rated pilots for that ship then?

That's exactly what will happen actually. I think I mentioned it in the intro for this vote.

Oh, i'm bad at reading. RIP. Alright.

Basically, top 2 rated for each ship, then top 7 rated overall (not counting the ones already in from the top 2 per ship)

Hey so... some dudes should upvote Yvonne for a high-PS V-Wing ace. The top 2 rated V-Wing pilots are PS 6 and 7, and the next one behind that is PS 5. There are a lot of comparatively high PS aces in the vote that im not sure the current top two can deal with. Yvonne is #4 right now, above both Boushh's; maybe give her some love?

I'd appreciate it!

Did some tabulating and here's the pilots that are currently leading the polls (factoring in the 2 guaranteed slots for custom ships), and are heading towards implementation in the vassal extension:

Myn Donos (T65)

Shara Bey (A-wing)

Talonbane Cobra (starviper)

Ooryl Qrygg (T65)

Rogue Ace (T65)

Reach (V-Wing)

Savan (Starviper)

Cikatro (V-wing)

Aeron Azzameen (YT-1300)

Noble (Assault Gunboat)

Xeal (Assault Gunboat)

Edge (Avenger)

Sedya Morningstar (avenger)

Mara Jake (SoroSuub 3000)

Lando (SoroSuub 3000) (second entry in poll)

*Horton Salm

Some of these leads are closer than others, so we may see some last minute upsets, but this is what we're looking at right now. Very Exciting!

*will be implemented regardless of voting outcome

Well darn. I thought Rookie One was doing pretty well too. Either way, looks like a fun group of pilots!

Also, doesn't Vega currently have a better score than Aeron Azzameen? Maybe that changed after a recent vote, but just want to make sure no one is left out that shouldn't be!

Yay! One of my pilots is gonna make it. Nice!

What i'm thinking for Reach is, for the second round voting, to up her PS to 8. Maybe give her a better name, too.

sweet, 2/3 of my pilots in the qualified pool !
.. WIth 3 new T65 pilots when we already got 8 (that's sound a little bit weird to me) :huh:
Also, I'm sad that no one submit some fresh Ewing or M3-A Pilots, these ships deserved the same love as the starviper or the T65 :/

Got my TBC up there, I'm happy :P. Scyk definitely needs help, but I think it needs upgrades more than pilots (not that pilots would be BAD, but...)

I'll be running all the numbers again after the vote is over, but if you want to check the scores of any pilot the formula is: (likes-dislikes)/total votes

I would break the poll into base ships first and then ships with pilots, because some of the abilities are nice, but the ships are broken.

As for the Gunboat:

I like the idea, but the stats for the Gunboat(Alpha-Class XG-1 Star Wing) are off. It has to have a 3 attack and a 0 agility, with 5,5 shields and hull. Plus I would give it 2 cannon slots for sure and a title like the TIE/D for the defender.

Those things hit like bricks and were easy to hit when shooting at. Hard to rate abilities when the stats for the ship are off, by so much.

IMO: The best option is to give the existing shuttle a new title.

Title

2 Pts, Assault Gunboat

Add a cannon slot, two missile slots, lower the agility to 0 and remove all crew slots.

Once per round, after you perform an attack with a secondary weapon that costs 3 or fewer squad points, you may perform a primary weapon attack.

Release with a new shuttle so you can paint it.

Now you have an assault gunboat

Hi there!

The working versions of the base ships actually were voted in about two weeks ago. They'll undergo one more round of tweaking before being finalized though, so if you want to submit a modified basic version of the assault gunboat, you still have time to do it. You can find the basic versions of the four custom ships here, and you can also submit modified versions of the ships that you think are broken on that thread. Radically changing the design like you suggest may not be well received, however. (And I think the Assault gunboat is definitely a distinct ship from the shuttle, and a title would not be a faithful representation of the difference between the two).

Check the announcement thread of the custom card league if you want all the details on deadlines and the basic structure of the project.

A bit too late, discovered right now that my pilot is not included in the vote :(

****! What pilot was it? Did I just miss it in the submission thread?

edit-

It's probably this pilot, right? I think I must have just missed it somewhere along the way. Totally my fault, sorry! I added it to the front of the poll.

Yes, it was this one. Thanks.

As for the rules experts /lawyers? :) / arguing about "viability" of the card text, this can be changed accordingly, when the rules discussions have come to a verdict :) Something like: When you receive a stress token you may perform a free barrel roll action even while you are stressed" (not a native speaker myself).

I'm sure there's a way to word it where this is possible. Probably can take a look at the tractor beam reference card for similar language.

Something like :

Immediatly before you receive at least 1 stress token, you can perform a free broll action.

problem : you need to remove your stress regulary + now, your broll is "once per round"-like.

Icthink that was the wording I suggested. And its on e per round regardless since you camt perform the same action more than once in a round anyway

Voting closes at 11:59 EST tonight! Get those votes in!
