I'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback on this. If people are interested, I can explain the thought process and design decisions I made when I have the time. I'm pretty happy with most of the card stats and effects, but the point costs could probably stand to be tweaked on some of them.

Wait til December, if FFG wants to capitalie on the new movie like it did with Episode VII then we'll get the ship the dayR ogue One comes out.

Bomb doesnt make sense if it is a lander. Though I can see a modification that takes a crew slot and give 2 bombs or something...call it "bomb bay"

You movement dial idea is pretty solid. Actions look fine, other than maybe reinforce being way out of place.

I like the 2 crew slots.

I do not see a small ship getting 8 hull, (6 on the ARC wih 3 shields is pretty solid though, it probably would be the same). And we dont know its offensive capabilities so cannon probably doesnt make sense either....esecially since we do not see a big gun and no turret either.

So i jokingly said I'd like to see it have a"Team" slot since it carries teams of people. And now that I think of it, I wouldnt actually mind seeing that happen....so far only 1 of the teams we have in the game dont require energy, but I dotn see why this couldnt start a trend of non-energy teams that can be used on non-epic ships. Like a Rebel commando team or something, Recon Specialists.

0 agility? Based on the trailer, I don't buy that. It looks pretty maneuverable. My hope would be 2 agility. It might be one though.

Definitely not Reinforce, if that action ever becomes available to small/large base ships it will break the game. Even if it has 0 agility.

I do appreciate your enthusiasm for the U-wing though.

1 Agility, no cannon, no bomb.

all the suck

But I would give it lateral firing arcs (for those manned M60 machineguns lasers).

I'm not so sure the Vietnam-style side guns be able to fire in space. Maybe a crew member that gives side auxillary arcs to the ship.

And we know the ship has to have at least one crew slot from the side-by-side pilot and co-pilots, let alone the other crew/team in the belly hold.

You KNOW it's coming, just wait for the official release.

I agree that 0 agility doesn't seem to fit. 1 would put it on the same footing as an ARC and Y-Wings. 2 if they really want to shake things up.

I think it should be faster, but the Swing Wing mod solves that in a unique way, which is pleasing.

Bomb slot doesn't seem thematic for a drop ship. If you really want it, though, grab Sabine Crew.

Most of the upgrade cards look alright, with the Gatling Cannon looking particularly fun.

Here's mine I posted a few days ago on another thread:

Since everybody is doing their homebrew U-Wing expansions, here is mine (WIP):

This is to make it more versatile:

And this is for fun:

(put on the space suit and shoot those bastards!)

Need some crew cards for the Rogue One guys.

Work in Progress , so costs and stats CAN (and probably will) be changed.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

It's the best looking new ship to arrive in the Star Wars franchise since the mid nineties.

That said, I'm going to wait to see what it's actually capable of before attempting to come up with rules for it.

And we know it will come, but what's wrong with exercising our imaginations?

I'm loving all the home brew imagination, but all they really do is make me want the real thing even more.

When attacking from your Belly arc, reduce the defender's banana by 1 to a minimum of 0.

1 point.(Crew)

Banana Detonator

After attacking you may drop one Banana Detonator.

1 Point. (Bomb)

Using Banana Detonators

This card describes the hilarity of using Banana Detonators....

...when a ship overlaps a Banana Token that ship must perform a Red 3-Straight maneuver....

This expansion obviously needs to include a copy of Guidance Chimps.
