I like it; though you would to add "to a minimum of 1" due to a) hawk and b) that crit that reduces attack.

A minimum of 1 isn’t necessary, it could be minumum 0. There’s already a precedent for rolling zero attack dice: Blinded Pilot from the original damage deck. There’s nothing game breaking about having a card that gives a benefit to zero attack dice.

Agreed. No need for minimum attack.

I guess feedback array is in same boat.

May the new movie not distract us from what this game really needs.

Side note, did you spot the The Phatom Menace homage in The Last Jedi?

That's a pretty clever homage; the more i look at the above picture the more like the look of this ship

Kylo Ren repeats Anakin's attack on the droid control ship, (except purposefully) - first he does the good trick, then flies inside the big ship's kinda-hangar, and launches torpedoes destroying it's insides in a big explosion.

Is that the concept art? I'm only asking because the hull flattens at the astromech slot. Honestly looks a tad better.

so i was watching a playthrough of the new battlefront II storyline DLC, and it looks like the N-1 gets a bit more love. the campaign is set in the sequel trilogy (around the same time as TFA), and the first mission has you fighting "Jinata security", a Private Military Contractor working for the First Order. you're facing a fleet from the PMC, and while they are FO aligned, they are equipped more like you'd expect the Rebellion during the GCW to be, with old ships and fighters.

A nebulon-B, several GR-75's, V-wings, ARC-170's.. and at least N-1's. (that was modified to drop mines instead of fire Torps.) since the storylines of the battlefront II campaign are canon, that is yet another use of the N-1 post-clonewars. bit of an odd one faction wise (basically scum aligned with FO/Imperial but using Rebel gear) but still.

Given that BF2 is likely to reuse existing models with new skins in future DLC's, we might see more of them too.

It makes sense that the war machine roles would be reversed between the New Republic and remnants of the Empire. The Rebellion/Republic destroyed Imperial industrial complexes. Any loyalist that wanted to keep fighting would have to resort to scrounging the way the early Rebellion did. Also, we know Palp disarmed Naboo; we don’t know where all their hardware went.

I’m down for a dual faction expansion if it makes the magic happen. Maybe even a 2 ship box with both paint schemes.

If anything, that DLC proved just how durable ships are past their "prime". Loved that to pieces. What's cooler is that you were taking these things on in a T-65 while your daughter flew a T-70.

Jinta Security was ridiculously well armed, but absolutely every single thing they used was outdated either moderately, or severely.

well, the remnants of the Empire i suspect could still build TIE's.. we see the interceptor and bomber pop up on a arms dealer's sales display in TLJ. but i suspect that imperial weapons would not be very attractive to a PMC operating in the Republic, regardless of who pays the PMC.. Imperial weapons would probably scare away some customers, and imperial fighters frankly were very bad from a logistics sense. the Empire built their big ships to last, but their fighters were pure attrition units, meant to get lots of firepower on the field at minimal cost, and sacrificing things like armor, shields, and hyperdrives means that they would be overly reliant on expensive (and less common in the republic) large ships for transport, and you'd go through a lot of pilots and ships in fights.

i still think that the N-1 would fit best as a Rebel ship, but this mainly just establishes that the N-1 can be found outside Naboo post-clonewars. (plus it shows us that a "dirty" N-1 look works)

This picture came up in a thread about E-wings. I’ll take all the N-1 coverage I can get. The N-1 pictured isn’t yellow. Maybe it’s just a lazy artist, or maybe it’s a shoutout to the Forces of Destiny short. Either way, it’s an N-1 and we were so close to getting Poe as a pilot.

Is that a Firespray behind the speech bubble? And what is the ship in front of the T-47? The ship to the left of the A-Wing and above the V-wing is also something I can't identify. Any guesses?

Leia pilots an N-1 in early in the BF2 campain mode. This is post RoTJ during operation cinder way before TFA.

I think it's a y wing not a firespray. Twin engine offset like the gold squad art. Wedge cockpit.

I thought the DLC just proved how little EA cared about the single player campaign, and made everything in it a re-textured version of a ship already in the game.

Interesting collection of ships there. Is the First Cannon appearance of the E-Wing?

"bleh bleh bleh EA bad bleh bleh bleh"

so what do you want brand new ships nobody's ever heard about or something

That'd be cool but why do that when you have in-universe-proven-tried-and-true-models and you can just, paint them your faction's color? Not to mention how much that saves on development time.

Your narrative makes no sense.

Uh, okay, as cool as it is to see the E-Wing there, I wanna know about that center one. That thing is cool.

Looks like a modified V-wing.

Fair. It looks pretty cool. My first impression was some form of V-Wing, though not a standard one. So either a different model of V-Wing or heavily modified.

What "narrative?" Why does everything immediately make you defensive? lol

EA didn't care about a single player campaign, so they didn't even put one in the previous Battlefront. Then people complained, so they put in the most generic, uninspired, and short single player campaign possible into Battlefront 2. It's not about "Blah blah EA bad." It's literally just "Re-using an existing ship model says nothing other than to further demonstrate how few number of poops EA gave about the single player campaign." Your narrative was that EA was trying to prove that the ships were so durable they last until TFA. When the reality is that the only reason those ships are in that missions is that EA already had them on hand, and the player is flying Rebelsistance ships and TIE Fighters wouldn't fit in. There's no Grand Design at work here, lol.

Narratives, heh. A Jedi craves not these things.

What about it looks modified? Other than color, it looks the same as a regular V-Wing to me.

Rear is redesigned, astromech and those covers over it are missing, the side "wings" are much wider apart, larger, and different shape (more pointy).

What @eMeM said. I also want to say V-Wings wings fold up different for landing, but it might be a case of someone taking design liberties.

Other than missing the rear fuselage plates, its looks almost identical to me.

I only know where the astromech goes because of the Lego set, and in both the comic image and the official one, it's hard to pinpoint its location.

The outboard fins look to be pretty much the same, and that is how I recall its landing configuration at the end of Revenge of the Sith and in the original Battlefront 2.

Other than maybe the sleeker profile of the official fuselage and possibly longer outrigger fins on the comic version, I can't really see a significant difference between the two. Certainly not enough to call it heavily modified. Artistic license seems to be the root cause of any irregularities.
