Idea for the SS-54 assault ship/Halo

By sf1raptor, in X-Wing

Ok, I thing that some of you guys may know that I enjoy the freighters and other larger ships from star wars, and one of my favorites is the Halo(sorry, but no pics). Anyway, I was trying to think of how this ship could be added, so here's what I got.

SS-54 Assault Ship

Stats: 3,2,5,5

Upgrade bar: Turret, Crew, Mod, Title

Actions: Focus, Barrel Roll, Evade

Pilots:

Planetary security pilot PS2-26

No idea PS4-28

Jas Emari PS5: After you perform a barrel roll action, you may also perform an evade action.-30

Sugi PS7: Once per round, after a friendly ship at range 1-2 has attacked, that ship may recieve a free focus token.-32

Upgrade Cards:

EPT-

Honorable Allies/Cover Fire: When a friendly ship at range 1 attacks an enemy ship in your firing arc, and you have not attacked this round, you may preform a primary weapon attack on the targeted ship. If you attack, you may not attack again this round.-3

Crew-

Embo: Scum only. When attacking an enemy ship in your firing arc, you may reroll one attack die.-2

Sugi: Scum only. When a friendly ship at range 1 is defending, it may change one blank result to a focus result.

Sinjir Rath Velus: Scum only. At the start of the Activation Phase, choose one enemy ship at range 1. That ship must reduce its pilot skill by two until the end of the Activation Phase.-3

Turret-

Twin Laser Turret-6

Title-

Halo: You may add <crew> to your upgrade bar. This crew must be Scum only.

Yeah, I don't have much. The idea with Sugi is that she will help hear allies in the middle of battle, but I can't think of a crew ability. Also stuck for a cost for the ship, and an ability that would go with the title.

Edit: Cost. Reworked wording. Removed mod.

Edit 2: New EPT. Jas Emari pilot ability. Sugi crew ability.

3 attack & 2 agility with 10 HP is the statline for a Firespray, so the dual arc is worth ~33 points. This one lacks the arc, but will be picking up a turret slot, so it's definitely cheaper. Somewhere between 25 and 30 points, I suspect, though I'd need to actually put my Math Brain on to figure out where in there. What's an extra 50% durability over a T-70 X-wing worth, anyway? ;)

Thanks for the help with price.

I just finished reading Aftermath, in which this model of ship makes an appearance. I'm hopeful that leaves it open for a x wing model, as it's such a cool ship.

I'll just leave this here.

It's a janky-looking beast, isn't it?

I'd buy it. Cool looking ship for sure, and I like that the color scheme kind of matches the Shadow Caster's aesthetic.

Only bumping this post back up do to edits. Wanted to see what y'all thought.

I was thinking about this ship today and how awesome it would be to see it in Xwing.

i think your stats sound pretty good.

As far as the abilities go, i kinda saw the SS-54 as a ship that wants to shoot from a distance. flies into position, stays there and blasts its foes before they get close. there are already so many ships that are good unclose and personal. but that is just my opinion

As for movement, maybe similar to the the Firespray but with a full stop. possibly even throw in a Tallon Roll to mix it up a little.

I did make this for CCL after making this page: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VJnK_j1uEY_375kLl9l4ZqK4Q95KBllxoKK-bjyGb_Y/mobilebasic

Changed Embo to be a bit more aggressive, and I chose against the T-Rolls, but I see your point.

Oh so that's what it is?:o

I was thinking something more like a Pelican or a Banshee :P

Looks pretty similar to the wookie ship (color scheme aside).
