VCX-100 Deck plans

By Ruakar, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Hey guys, so for about a week i have been working on these deck plans, I am still working on some details but its going well i think, Before you get too bent This VCX is not the Ghost but my players current ship, and their configuration. I have changed a few things from what I have seen in Rebels, I even planned a post to describe the reasons for the changes i made, all centered around how TV shows often dont try to mechanically figure out the spaces before they shoot, and often use the stuff they already have just to continue the narrative of the show with out getting too hung up on details. (that always bothers me, like how there is literally no way to board the phantom if its docked nose first) I made a quick 3D model of the Ghost just to see if its possible. but its not, there is an engine right under the phantom, im going off topic and ranting...

I haven't labeled anything yet, but i will later. Some know of my 4 players and how their ship is very personalized by them, one is a droid that recharges in the cargo bay, a Nautolan Pilot, who sleeps in a deprivation tank to stay moist, an archaeologist and a Tech who removed her bunk and put in a hammock so she could have a work bench in her room. Later when i finish this one i will post it in individual pieces in my Ships, maps and weapons thread,

Hope you enjoy.

I can't stand the VCX-100 stats in this system, but you did a fine job on the graphics!

I've been away a while but I saw someone mention that the vcx-100 was a sil 5 ship. Is that official? Because I just don't see the being anything but a sil 4.

Yes, it is a Silhouette 5 ship. IT's statted out in Keeping the Peace on page 63

When you see the VCX-100 in comparison to a YT-2400 you realize it is a very large ship.

I won't deny it's large, but I still don't see it as a sil 5 ship. Compared to every other sil 5 ship I remember it's really small, and some of the things I remember seeing in the few episodes of Rebels I watched showed it maneuvering like no sil 5 ship I know of could. I think that was a bad call on their end, but I'm not a developer so I guess they had their reasons, even if I don't like it.

It also in Rebels carries a Sil 3 ship, which in system terms means that the carrier needs to be Sil 5.

Not necessarily. I'll freely admit I haven't read the rules in a good while, but if a ship or other piece of equipment is designed in a certain way it operates differently than if it was modified. In order to carry a sil 3 ship in a hangar mod it has to be sil 5, but if it was designed to carry it it could still be on the large side of 4. I don't know if there are or where to rules for a docking clamp would be, but from what I've seen that shuttle is in a specialized docking clamp and not a hangar bay.

carrying the Phantom is not a stock feature

actually, it is, but the utility shuttle is sold separately. Sort of like buying a superduty pickup truck, with a factory installed trailer hitch, but needing to buy the trailer separately.

No it is not. It is not a listed feature.

Wayfarer is a similar size, just better storage efficiency.

Edit: scrap that I can't remember stuff right now, it's a little over half the size
