I'm surprised the Ultimatum, Inflictor, Vigilance, Stalker, Conquest or Tyrant weren't used. That being said, the Glory seems pretty cool. I'd like to see more squadron-focused titles for ISDs as there really aren't any at present.

Or Chimaera. Thrawn needs his jalopy.

Should have left new submissions for ISD titles open longer. It is one of the most iconic ships, with lots of named units.

It had been open for over two weeks.

True, but I don't think anyone knew when voting would take place, or that there would even be voting. I didn't. And I also forgot about your "1 title per faction rule" since I just read that.

If you could put when the next voting/discussion session would start for the next ship in your original thread, that would be great! Because you will undoubtedly get people like me who forget or read to quickly and post without following the rules :P

Why we need more time or other rules? All we know that Sovereign is the best title ever and it must won

;P

If there were other fleet commands, I'd agree with you. But I don't see any use for them in an Imp fleet.

AAFM is meh cuz the fighters are already quick.
Shields to Max is rarely used as Rebels as it is, and if you want a tank, take the Interdictor.
Entrapment Formation could be useful for MSU, but that means you have to take an ISD in it, and it does what Ozzel already allows. Only benefit is all your ships don't need a token.

It's a good idea to be sure and I wish there were fleet commands for Imps, but I don't think what we have now is very good either.

I'd be ok with Glory being more expensive. I figured limiting it to uniques would balance it, but I don't think I realized just how many uniques there are at this point. 10 points seems reasonable to me.

Judicator: by Forresto

Text: When an ISD I is equipped with this title lower initial ship cost by twenty five points. When an ISD II is equipped with this title lower initial ship cost by twenty points.

Cost: 10

I suggest that for this you have a downside to the points. Perhaps you could drop some icons, dice, shields, or hull. Even drop the ability to use certain commands.

All point decrease cards that I know of (in Xwing) have a downside.

Oh, this thread was to vote on ISD proposals from the previous thread. It was never meant to receive proposals. Within an hour or otherwise. :(

I will add your proposal nonetheless!

Thanks a bunch. I'm sorry though, I was completely confused by the intro that's my fault.

HOW is Judicator an okay title. That's under 100 points for an ISD 1, ISD 2 for an ISD 1. I'm not sure I really understand the point of this title. Can I get an explanation?

I definitely feel the points rebate should be bumped down. I had originally planned the power to go with the Executrix title but then I saw there were already three and Judicator sounds cool and is almost never used. My reasoning was that as Tarkin's flagship it would be top of the line and a rebate would provide at least one additional upgrade. Plus as an excellent administrator I would imagine Tarkin would produce a surplus where ever he was present as this was somewhat his ability in Empire at War. I think that it works for Thrawn as well though for differing logic.

However if I can change the ability I would do this probably make it so the rebate is seven additional points for both the ISD I and the ISD II. I have to work so I will do the math later. I'll take a look at some of the X Wing cards as well.

I get the idea and I think that a rebate is a good idea sometimes. It is just usually tied to some sort of drawback. I really suggest dropping the officer slot or something.

That might actually be cool. A Title card that rebates the ship card price, but does not allow ANY upgrades. The Title forces you to play it naked.

Either that or, keeping the rebate the same, I think not being able to have command tokens would be a pretty good drawback for the points.

I would never play an ISD without the ability to bank tokens. Not being able to hold a nav token for course adjustments when needed is too much of a gimp for me.

Tyrant (6 Points): After you move, you may exhaust this card to use the ability of an equipped Tractor Beams upgrade (even if it is exhausted).

This is Captain Lennox's ship that was poised at Hoth to capture fleeing Rebel ships. "Good, our first catch of the day."

An ISD title, correct? If so, we are actually about to vote on these titles.

As a suggestion, in the future, either open each one up for voting immediately or invite players to post new titles to the old thread. I'm not entirely sure what purpose this thread ultimately served, aside from a bit of additional commentary.

We will eventually vote as the OP said.
