First a shout out to Christopher WEST and his awesome maps, especially his sci-fi maps:

I'm a long-time fan of his work.
One of the ships that he has that I'm really interested in is this one:
I wonder if anyone has already statted this thing up yet? Or if anyone would be interested in helping a new EotE/AoR GM do so.
Here's what I've got so far:
- It looks to be about the same size as an A-Wing, give or take, with slightly smaller engines that are located mid-chassis instead of the more abaft A-Wing engines. So, I'm thinking it is probably slightly slower, and with not quite as good handling (or maybe the handling is the exact same given that it is slightly slower...so that both pilots can make about the same tight turning radius, but the A-Wing can do so at a higher velocity).
- It looks a little more robust than an A-Wing, but not by much. Certainly no X-Wing or Y-Wing.
- There is a rear-mounted turret that looks like it is capable of swinging somewhere in the 90 ° to 180° range. Given the small size, I'm thinking maybe an Autoblaster Turret with Firing Arc: Rear.
- It looks like there are some light laser cannons mounted to either side of the cockpit OR there are some other structures located under the front winglets (but those might be related to the engines. I could really stand to hear your thoughts on THIS!
- There is clearly an Astromech socket, so that goes in.
- I cannot tell if the cockpit is a single pilot or possibly a pilot and a (rear-facing?) REO/Gunner. If there is a second seat in there, then that is who would be operating the rear turret. Otherwise, the droid?
Putting this all together, my first draft of this thing is:
Silhouette 3
Speed 5 (Same speed as an X-Wing, slightly slower than an A-Wing)
Handling +2 (Better than an X-Wing, not as good as an A-Wing)
Defense Front 1, Rear 1, Starboard —, Port —; (Same shielding as an X-Wing)
Armor 2 (Armor the same as an A-Wing. X-Wings and Y-Wings have 3)
Hit 7, Strain 7 (Just one more point than an A-Wing. I'm considering 8 for each of these instead?)
