Bump from 6 again. 900 comments!

With the TIE Aggressor getting a barrel roll into a red evade, I think we can all agree this Linked action must be on the N-1.

So, with what we know about 2E so far, what changes with the N-1?

Linked actions, definitely.

BR -> Evade is a must.

A very agile (and cheap) torpedo carrier would be a good niche.

It looks like Scyks are gonna be in that kind of role too in 2.0 with the Heavy Title baked in. Even the Scyk stat line of 2att 3agi 3hull 1shields sounds alright for the N-1. With some linked actions and an Astro slot to make up for the reduced secondary weapon options, and I think we have a nice little ordnance carrier.

What should the dial look like? Maybe: Blue: 1 banks, 2 straight and banks, 3 forward. White: 1-3 turns, 3 banks, 4-5 straight. Red: 3 S-loops, 2 T-rolls.

Or: Blue, 2-4 straight, 2-3 banks. White: 1-3 turns, 1 straight, 5 straight. Red: 3 S-loops, 2 T-rolls, 1 banks.

Tbh, I like the second one best, pair with action bar of:

You think it would have both s-loops and t-rolls? I kind of doubt that.

While I like your second set of maneuvers better, I think the first is more likely. Could possibly also have 4 straight as blue.

Action bar is pretty good but I'm tempted to tie Evade to a ship ability for "whenever you barrel roll, get an evade token."

Or, alternatively: Focus>BR, Lock>BR, BR>Evade.

Stat-line seems reasonable but it's hard for me to say the N-1 is as agile as the RZ1. Since there's no way to effectively do "2.5" I'll let that pass.

Well, I wanted it to have sloops, but not just sloops. I thought about k-turn, but thought "How boring!". But then I realized that no ship has sloops AND trolls! I can give it that!

This is what I was afraid of, but the first is to close to the Advanced for my taste.

These actually look fun! I could defo go for one of these!

I would not say the tie fighter is as agile as the A-wing, but it is a 3. I would put the N1 and TIE/ln at the same level.

Will Anakin in the N-1 be the first I7 pilot in 2.0?

Maybe his pilot ability will be: "You do not need a target lock to shoot Proton Torpedos. Do not spend a charge when you shoot Proton Torpedos. You may shoot Proton Torpedos at R 0-3."

Either that or a defensive reroll after barrel rolling.

GLEXOR the hero we need; forgot about this post due to all the 2.0 hype. With the inferno squad guys coming into game; this could be the next ship deffo when they start making new stuff again.

I like the idea of it having both sloops and trolls - it did seem like a very easy ship to flip around in.

Linking barrel roll with evade also sounds good - but why not link it with @Ixidor 's comment of a 2.5 agility: since evade tokens are now nerfed (slightly), why not give it an agility of 2, and make it super easy for it to get evade tokens? Would a free evade action after performing another action be too much? I like the idea of barrel roll --> evade, but if we give it an agi of only two, it might not be enough. Maybe free evade action after performing a green blue move or a barrel roll?

I would really like to see this in the game, preferably more than just as republic, but that would be nice too.

After thinking it over, I think it will still be 3 agility. Comparing it to other ships, it feels closest to correct. If Evade woked the way it did in 1.0, I could see the psuedo-2.5 working.

I specifically like Barrel Roll>Evade because that's a "good trick."

Bump. Would be neat if the expansion came with a different R2-D2. Maybe helping with maneuvers like a free 90 degree turn for a stress.

Hoping it'll be added to the game, both as a Rebel fighter and if a Clone Wars expansion is introduced as a Republic fighter.

with droids been added and force; 2.0 is ripe for the CIS and Republic to be added

Based on his prequel appearances, I expect him to be able to un-dock and fight on his own.

Mary Poppins Leia and Yondu crossover; this must happen

I accept the N1 as long as it comes in a new Republic faction against the Separatists.

Woah woah woah - New Republic?!?

Would it be more interesting to have "when you perform a barrel roll you may use the 2 straight template" or "when you perform a barrel roll you must use the 2 straight template"?

Hahahaha but the n was lower case! Seriously though old Legends New Jedi Order era would be sweet but impossible in the current Disney days

Never Vong. I quit Star Wars once because of the Vong; I'll do it again if Disneyverse ever sinks that low.

Let the past die. Kill if it if you have to.

Bring on the N-1 as a 2.0 Rebel ship. I hope the old Republic gets a faction in the new game, but I don't personally intend to buy any prequel era ships unless the Rebels or Empire get them.
