In other words, assassinate the Palp Shuttle and leave the rest of your list to fight the Aces.

Or use the new 'conditions' mechanic.
The relevant 'condition' card would be maybe a system upgrade that reads 'action: place a target token beside a ship you already have a target lock on'.
The equipped weapon would be 'attack (focus): If you do not have any stress, place 6 stress tokens on your ship to perform this attack'. And then give it something ridiculous like 10 dice or something. So you can't be stressed, and it takes AT LEAST three actions to fire it after you get into range (target lock, put the condition token on the target locked ship, then focus the turn of firing). Of course, you are firing a pile of dice with a target lock AND focus to use, so...it'll hurt.
Basically...the perfect capital-ship killer, and not much else.

At the moment, Rebels is pushing out the most new Space-focused content, and thus she's showing up everywhere.
It took till the fifth post to get an answer. Thanks! Isn't rebels that disney show? FFG has sunk that low?
Disney owns the star wars IP?

I was being rhetorical. FFG "sinking low" is ironic, given a) they own all the IP and b) Rebels is commercially and critically successful.
Cheers

It's honestly hard to tell on the Internet these days.
Awful pacing, complete lack of suspense, ships that don't bother to fire on the enemy except once every 30 seconds, ships that fly toward each other for 3 minutes yet never seem to make any progress, a tiny ass shuttle smaller than a TIE Fighter that is somehow not only hyperdrive-equipped but can also carry another ship through hyperspace, that other ship being a B-Wing that for some (convenient) reason has a laser capable of one-shot-ing a ship hundreds of times its size...
This is why I don't believe anyone when they tell me the show is actually good. It has, what, decent animation and bright colors?
"Sir an unknown ship dropped out of hyperspace! Sir the unknown ship is coming right at us!"
Do you:
A) Shoot the unknown ship out of the sky
B) Command your TIE Fighters to do it for you, or
C) Squint at it and hope it goes away
The unknown fighter ship is still just a small fighter. The phoenix squadron had no access so far to anything remotely heavy on their fighter department and there are still turbolasers from the CR90 firing on the imperial corvettes.
So congratulation: You try to be Thrawn and immediately divert you fire onto that knew unknown ship, which then just allows the Rebel fleet to punch through.
Besides that: Yeah, those spacebattles in Rebels are not very good. Just like in the Original Trilogy the empire can only lunch 4 TIE-Fighters at a time from their hangar which stores dozens or even more than 100 fighters, which allows the Rebels to outfly wave after wave, but that is a star wars trope in general and is basically only broken in the X-Wing series and in Heir of the Empire. In both cases basically for story reasons.
And as mentioned, that composite laser beam weapon ain't that strong either. About 3 torpedo salvos from double launchers would have done literally that same has those 3 hits from the beam weapon. And it would have done this without compromising the energy systems of its fighter.
Teenage Mando trash for some kids show.

Why can't I just hail the unknown ship and demand that they stand down and identify themselves? If they fail to comply, then I blast them out of the sky.

??? heck no the palpmobile is killable by anybody, it just doesnt usually die in a single round.
A 12 die attack would completely overwhelm any ships agility. Have Kyle in his hwk feed a focus, make it TL for an action, youre going to land a majority of those hits and even soontir's insane evasion cant save him from that.
Even when palpy is gone, those aces can be a thorn if they get lucky enough.

Because, by the time you get that message out, it's gutted one of your ships and is coming around for another attack run.

How did it manage to come out of hyperspace on an attack vector with your ship already targeted and its weapons ready to fire?
Also, if it's clearly attacking, I would probably classify that as "enemy ship" rather than "unknown ship".

Eh, the A-wings in Rebels get blown up more often than not. Not to mention in this particular episode, that blockade has been there for a while and has been wrecking the Rebel fleet every time they show up.
Edited by Zefirusstarwars has a lot of dumb questions like that.
Nobody except an imperial bigot would watch an unknown ship with its weapon bays open fly at them at high speeds in the middle of a battle. Even if it wasnt in the middle of a fight, they SHOULD have questioned the intentions rather than "who is that?"
Again, tis why i like Startrek more, but Starwars has better games
heck the scale that they give the Imperial Empire is so vast theres no possible way a rebel force could topple them. Piss them off yeah oh definitely yeah but dethrone them? not in their wildest dreams. The imperials have the resources to pump out ISD's in mere months AND man them as if resources werent a thing, manpower or minerals. Meanwhile rebels are so tight on manpower that a single pilot down is felt.
That and the unusual amount of giant ship blowing up from the inside makes no sense. Once? ok found a weak point. Twice? ...ok...sure whatever. Three times? ok now youre pushing it... and im sure theres plenty more incidents like that

I think that's why in the EU, the Empire remained a threat long after Endor, and ultimately weakened itself from infighting and politics more than from any great military campaigns of the Rebellion/New Republic.

Thing is, even in disney canon the empire is still alive and kicking. They control basically half the galaxy still. Sure, after the death of palpatine the republic get reinstated, but 30 years later half of them are founding the first order. Instead of the infighting of the empire, we just got the infighting of the new republic. With the same conflicts from the clone wars and galactic civil war era. Which to be fair is the other likely scenario how things could have gone after endor.
The corrupt senators from 30 years ago are not gone and they care little if they call it empire or republic as long as they stay in power.
From what I've gathered from Bloodline, The Empire isn't that big of a presence anymore.

Yeah, they all joined the republic. And half the republic is supporting the first order. Do figure.
