Thoughts on a new damage deck

By Viktus106, in X-Wing

Morning all,

Had a random thought, all the epic ships have their own specific damage deck and they all have some interesting critical effects, so it got me thinking. .

What if FFG released a Large Ship specific damage deck? Not one for each ship, but just large base ships specifically.

For example:

2 x System Malfunction:
Ship
You may not perform the focus action.
Action: Roll 1 attack dice, on a hit or critical, flip this card face down

4 x Direct hits:
Ship
This card counts as two damage.

2 x Engine Damage:
Ship
When you perform a white maneuver, if the speed of your maneuver plus the number of damage cards you have on your pilot card exceeds five, you must receive a stress token.

2 x Life Support Failure:
Ship
Choose one of your equipped crew cards and discard it.

2 x Tracking Malfunction:
Ship
You may only perform attacks from your primary firing arc.
Action: Roll 1 die, on a hit or critical result, flip this card face down.

2 x Misfiring Thrusters:
Ship
During the planning phase, assign your dial face up.
Action: Roll 1 die, on a hit or critical result, flip this card face down.

2 x Scrambled Scopes:
Ship
You may not perform the target lock action.
Action: Roll 1 die, on a hit or critical result, flip this card face down.

2 x Structural Collapse:
Ship
Discard one of your modification upgrade cards.

2 x Injured Pilot:
Pilot
Choose one effect:
1. Pilot Skill 0
2. Players must ignore your pilot ability
(Kinda represents either the main pilot being hit or the co-pilot)

1 x Weapons Failure
2 x Blinded Pilot
2 x Console Fire
2 x Damaged Sensor Array
2 x Major Hull Breach
2 x Shaken Pilot
2 x Stunned Pilot

Some of those look really good, would certainly change a few strategies.

Just a thought about the injured pilot, maybe it could be dependent on dice roll, I.E. on a hit or crit effect 1 happens, on a blank or focus effect 2 happens

Go back and search for the poop storm that ensued when the damage deck that came with TFA core set was declared to be "required" and see how well it was received.

And that's with the TFA being a significantly more fair (and punishing) damage deck.

Couldn't agree more.

Or to put it a little bit differently: that ship has already jumped.

Could we say its a master at jumping?
