What about a single-epic-point factionless ship?

By StarWarsDad1138, in X-Wing

What about the larger shuttle? Sentinel-class.

Ghost should have been an epic ship. That thing is way too big to be a Large ship. Its barely smaller than the Gozanti/Transport

Gozanti: 63.8 meters by 32 meters by 14.7 meters

Ghost: 43.9 meters by 34.2 meters by 14.5 meters

Rebel transport: 90 meters by ~30 meters by ~20 meters (If the Legends stat of 90 meter length is still valid in new canon.)

Just say NO.

Factionless = everybody can use it.

One Epic Point = it can be spammed.

If such a thing is going to happen it may need to be borderline useless. I probably wouldn't give such a ship any movement ability so it's going to act more like a station of some kind that either side could have "captured" which results in it being factionless.

i wouldnt say 5 is spamming, especially since huge ships are literally never a menace on their own. There are a TON of shenanigans that huge ships are denied, despite still having access to it technically (cant have focus/evade/stress for instance, but you can still find ways to assign it to them it just gets autoremoved).

If they brought something in that 5 "mini huge ships" is actually a threat, something spilled over to the current huge ships and made them even nastier anyway. Even if they gave these 1pt epic ships a 4die primary, it cant focus, it cant turn quickly, and it can easily be dodged.

There is the batteringram threat i guess but truth be told anything smaller than a Gozanti shouldnt have that. Collision damage sure, outright death? naw.

My thoughts almost exactly, except for the 4-die primary. I was thinking weaponless, with maybe an upgrade to add a hard point.

Just say NO.

In any case, I'm not wed to the idea of it being factionless, I just wouldnt expect to see three 1-pt epic ships wheb we have yet to see even one for S&V.

i was more mentioning 4die primary as a worst case scenario. If the Raider and Corvette doesnt have a 5die primary, 4die is going to be the best we get.

i'd be surprised if any 1 epic point ship has primary at all. I could see a hardpoint yes.

What abilities or actions would you see (or like to see) on such a ship? I mentioned earlier maybe a mod to add a pair of docking clamp. What else?

Just say NO.

The point in producing an Epic factionless (or all-faction, if your prefer) ship would be that they could add to the Epic options for ALL players at once, as opposed to waiting YEARS to fulfill the cycle of a second Epic ship for all.
