Docking for CR90

By FlashBackJack, in X-Wing

Why not give the rebels a Nebulon B?

that would be absolutely massive in xwing. Lengthwise i dont think its much bigger but its significantly taller/wider in some spots.

You'd have to have poles holding it up twice what we got now lol which are just begging to give people grief about staying on the **** base.

So true. I'm actually looking at reinforcing the base of mine to try and bypass this problem.

Honestly, take a small file to the flat sides of the connection point on the base. Just grind a slight bit out.

I did that for my Ghost and it doesnt fly off the base anymore. I noticed it was feeling like it wasnt going in at all, so i made the gap bigger. My Huge ships dont seem to have this problem though (thank god). I actually got a comment from someone saying its the first time he's seen a ghost in play and it didnt fall off the base lol.

Does not apply to the frigate I'm afraid, it has different points. I've actually had no problems with my Ghost though.

Why not give the rebels a Nebulon B?

I already got one :-)

:P closest thing I could find for raspberries since I don't have one...

I'd love to play in a game with that. But if Fantasy Flight comes out with one I'll have that.

Oh so will I... I had a poorly scaled Gozanti (rebel style) too. Just. I can't bare to field it within 1 continent of the actual Gozantis.

Last I used it was the "base" for playtesting Babaganoosh' gamma base.

Me too TBH.

I like this thread. 0 hate, just ideas flung around and love of the game.

More threads need to be more like this thread.

Agreed

The source of the carrier CR-90.

I've been hoping for deploy/docking rules for the CR90 since a Rebels Facebook page posted an errant comment about it, captioning an image of the Command ship from the TV show. Later, the page corrected the post. Then I saw the first episode that depicted the Awings deploying.

I would sure like to protect my fragile green squadron for a few rounds during an Epic match.

*If you need a logical reason why Awings need to be docked sometimes: pilots need to pee, poop, eat and sleep. Also... refueling, maintenance and Chardaan Refits need to be done somewhere.

You know... if they release this there are a few things they could do to make people jump for joy, including me. Have the doors open and a fully detailed interior complete with ships. Also have the paint job as good as the original Falcon.

That you be sweet!

I'd be curious how the pilot gets from the Awing through the floor of the cockpit to the CR90...that's some serious retrofitting :)

I dont think that they do

they just dock for the hyperjump

That would make sense. Didn't think about just docking for travel

that's the top of the A-wing, not the bottom,

(look at the angle of the docked A-wing's fins)

and you can clearly see a ladder up the tube.

When just transporting (another option I assume) then it doesn't matter

and the cockpit then can face out, but otherwise facing in.

I personally would want to see something more symmetrical:

I dunno, to me the asymmetry makes it more StarWars-y and beautiful.

It was also an ad-hoc Imperial ship stolen by the Reb's sent on a ........ well look for the kit on Ebay :P . Still have mine.

I loved the Far Star/Darkstryder WEG d6 rpg campaign, I still have all of the books and the poster sized deck plans, and want to run the campaign again so much.

Oh and I remember seeing someone made Far Star model for Xwing, saw a ton of pictures in a thread on heere about a year or less back. And it was alson on the same person's blog.

If you run it online y'all let me know. I will MAKE time for this.

Literally. With a ******* TARDIS if I have to.

It's probably designed for refueling the starfighter (as those are all hyperspace capable).

so Rebels showed a few A-Wings docking with the CR90 and since The Rebels don't have a epic scale ship that can have ships docked with it

I was Wondering ????

so what are the odds of getting a Rebel Card for Docking Clamps ?

xzBhn5c.png

Card would read

CR 90 only Limited

"You may dock up to 3 A-Wings, Z95 Headhunters, T65 X-Wings, T70 X-Wings, E-Wings, Y-Wings to this ship. All of those ships must have the same ship type"

Likely to come with a CR90 painted Blue with new crew cards from Rebels etc ???

Here's hoping the when Scum get their 'carrier' ship it ignores " All of those ships must have the same ship type"

I'm open to suggestions

FBJ

Simple enough:

Note the 3 docking tubes below the hanger.

I have an old model kit to make NASA spaceships that make the pieces with using molds and a poured plaster/plastic. Have had half a thought to make a hack job conversion of my CR90 into the FarStar. Might glue an old micro machine x-wing or a-wing on the flight deck for looks as the scale of the CR90 would not let you put any T65 models on the flight deck. I would use 3 pegs for the docking tubes so you could 'hang' a actual models on the outside.

Nice done thank you sir

Might as well use a Pelta, then, with its built in little A-Wing hangar. I'd be more apt to buy one of those than a Neb.... oh, who am I kidding, I want BOTH.

The problem with those cards, Flashback, is that we've also seen the Ghost docking with a CR-90, so really, anything should be able to.
