Interest check: Fighter Squadron game

By Rakaydos, in Star Wars: Age of Rebellion RPG

Here's my pilot, Astrid Vim. Her astromech, R3-GG, will probably be an Engineer/Mechanic. I'll stat her up tomorrow.

EDIT: I was inspired by the backstory of R3-GG being a Rebel spy (and the one who recruited Astrid), so I'm going to try to make her a Diplomat/Analyst instead. May be recipe for disaster to not have a dedicated mechanic onboard, but I've traded a point of Astrid's Cool for a point of Mechanics so she can use her skill and Gigi's Intellect in dire situations.

Is recruiting still open for this? If so I am interested.

Sure. There's only been 3 sheet entries, and we can go as high as 6 and still have ablative hull for everyone. That'll give us room to lose people, as PBP always does.

R4-G8 "Gate" and Fleasango "Flea". Reporting for duty!

Just ran the numbers on flea... he seems to be 20 XP over the raxial XP, and you cannot get more than 10 XP from trading in duty. Would you like to drop to 1 point of piloting space, or lose Confindence?

OK, here are Astrid Vim and R3-GG ("Gigi"). Only part left to do is their descriptions.

Confidence is a racial talent, FYI. He booked out to 0 XP through Oggdude's.

Should also say that I'll expand on Flea and Gate's background this weekend. Crazy busy at work ATM.

Sorry, @Lotr_Nerd, I should elaborate: Would it behoove us to go with different specializations for our astromechs? My fear is that we'd be stepping on each other's toes, especially in non-combat situations.

Right, I missed the racial talent. What are the odds?

Alright got my pilot ready Wulf Soban http://swsheets.com/c/uhkc5opgl-wulf-soban- a Imperial defector turned rebel ( i'll be adding stuff as I go ) with his former imperial R2 droid Fix http://swsheets.com/c/0yeokp9cg-r2-f5--fix--

Speaking of which, is your Skilled Jockey talent the 5 XP one, or the 10 XP one? I presune the 10 XP one, because you've got the XP and it gets you deeper in your talent tree.

Yeah I went the 10 xp one :)

I've thought about it, and I'm happy to respec my astromech so that @Lotr_Nerd can go Diplomat/Analyst with no toe-stepping on my part. I'm thinking Commander/Commodore now. Here's the latest version of R3-GG. I'll tweak the backstory soon to reflect the slight shift in focus.

SavageBob I can respec to colonist scholar since your intial droid was more of a diplomat and mine was more of a translator/researcher.

Only if you want to. I like the idea of Gigi being a Commodore, and there's plenty of room for her to take on analyst duties with Strategist if I decide to go that route with character development. :)

IC and OOC for "Spade Squadron" have been added to the "Beginners game" subforum.

Lets get rocking !

So I can't Join :( Also I would recommend starting you guys off with either R-41 star chasers or Heavy Z-95s from Stay on Target sourcebook

I do like the design and flavor of the Heavy Z-95, but Y-Wings are a solid place to start.

Did this ever take off? I would definitely be interested in this

It did, but we're currently staggering our way through a training mission, (but not yet in structured time which is always awkward), which would make it difficult to add you. If you want to hang out in the OOC and put together a "waiting list" character, that's fine.

Hey, I'd like to join up, is that alright and can I get a link to the game?
