Hired Killers: A Custom Scum Aces Expantion

By gryffindorhouse, in X-Wing

This is a thread to create a expantion for scum YT-1300's, YT-2400's, YT-2000's, and possibly some redoing of other (somewhat) failed scum ships.

This is not a thread for discussing whether or not it is a good idea for FFG to release it in actuality, just to create, share, playtest, and have fun, with custom Scum ships and cards!

Here are some other threads for referance and ideas:

Scum YTs

Reason to release another YT-1300

Scum YT-1300's?

Just to clarify, this is not supposed to be a repeat of any of these, as they do not discuss any creation of custom versions, but can be a great recourse.

Some basic ones:

2400_Regular-Crew-Front-Face.jpg

An early try, before I realised ships should have titles to name them, and costed using the old, expensive 'slots' method:

Halcyon-Nova-Front-Face.jpg

A ship designed to counter U-Boats, way before they were nerf'd - with some passive ECM, but also had a suite of active defences, which I've not included here as they maybe aren't as necessary anymore :unsure: :

[EDIT: I did Fess as a Rebel, but could just as easily be S&V]

2400-Tramp-Freighter-Front-Face.jpg

but I think they would look better if you wrote the ORS only

and WSF only restrictions first as they would fit on one line.

I'm not sure what these titles are supposed to do

They just serve as a way to allow the freighters to be used for S&V [or even Imperial]...and I put the Ship type first as I thought that was the standard for Titles :unsure:

Yeah I think Gabe is on to something here, I don't think you need those titles; simply make new generic 1300 and 2400 pilots for the Scum faction, the same way you made new unique pilots. Sort of like how FFG did its Most Wanted pack for scum, which included generic Y-wing, Z, HWK, and firespray pilots in the scum faction. No title card necessary.

I've taken them out of the original post...but I do think there needs to be a way of preventing use of the Falcon/Outrider titles, even if only by compulsory use of 'scum' titles that provide the same [or different] abilities ? :unsure:

...unless, of course, you're going to accept the argument that Han/Dash were both sufficiently scummy that it doesn't matter, or that the [old] Falcon fell into disreputable hands between VI & VII ;)

If you want to come up with some named pilot cards and titles for Scum, try looking up the following named YT-1300's on the Wookiee:

Selu, Sabra, Limping Lady, Blackjack, Night Wind, Oo-Ta Goo-Ta, Reckoning, Krayt Fang, Last Chance...

Amazing, I especially like "Regular Crew", but it might be OP.

Here are some cards, not in card format though, because I don't have anything to do that in :( I am leaving out all points because I have no idea for them:

Highly Custumizable

Mod. YT-1300 only.

Your upgrade bar gains 2 modification icons.

At least 1 of your modification upgrades must cost 2 or fewer squad points.

You may equip 1 additional unique title.

Expanded Smuggling Compartments

Title. YT-1300 Only.

Your upgrade bar gains 2 Mod. icons.

Modular Design

YT-Series only. Generic only. Title.

Your upgrade bar loses all icons except skill.

Your upgrade bar gains 2 overhaul icons.

Overhauled Engines

When you reveal your dial, you may perform a 1 speed white strait manuever.

After you perform a manuever, you may perform a 1 speed white strait manuever.

(overhaul)

The overhaul icon is an experiment.

More to come.

Even if you do specific pilots, I like the concept.

This only works if you're willing to allow 4 YT-1300's as they would be 25 points. And please make it limited, otherwise you can have a 23 point YT-1300.

That was why I did mine [both crew for -2] in the first place, as I have four YT's :wacko:

That wouldn't be a problem. It would turn the ORS into a K-wing without slam or any useable upgrade slots. That would not scare me at all.

1 PS, SLAM, Turret slot, Torp Slot x2, Missile slot, Bomb Slot x2... vs 1 hull and +2 cost.

Wow, I'm actually tempted to make a Jar Jar Binks card now.
