It's also drinking massive. Like longer than a Ghost massive.

And it looks rubbish.

Interesting bit from the cutaway book. the stealth system the U-55 transports were using to hide from the First Order? were developed by Rose Tico, who initially had converted one of the Bombers to use it for a special mission. the Resistance found it so useful they refit a bunch of their ships (like the U-55's) with it. (it is basically baffles and other systems to reduce their signatures on sensors and make them hard to detect.)

not sure if that should count as "stealth device' or be its own distinct thing as an upgrade, but hopefully we'll see that aspect get used in the game in the future.

Maybe a tech making it impossible to get a TL on you? Anti ordnance counter.

Krennic's Shuttle, Zeta-class Cargo Shuttle, TIE Reaper, Blue Squadron repaints it is then.

Good Star Wars ships from a good Star Wars movie.

100%. And get back to Rebels. Do the Resistance A-Wing, then get back to the ships found in the OT.

Paige crew: (0-1) pt, when your ship is destroyed, it may place one bomb following normal rules, even if you have already placed a bomb this turn.

Rose crew: 1 pt, at the end of the turn, you may flip a faceup damage card face down. Roll a [kind] die. On an [side] result, discard this card.

Poe crew: 2 pts, once per turn, when another friendly ship is defending at range 1-3, it may change 1 [focus] result to an [evade] result.

I'd love an A-Wing tweak which would allow A-Wings to be Missile carriers without paying a 2 point tax on them. Make it a title so it can't be equipped with test pilot. You either get cost-effective missiles or two Elite upgrades: not both. I'd go for "Spearhead Fighter, [overhead]. Reduce the cost of one missile upgrade by three, to a minimum of 0 points. When attacking, deal all damage cards face down." With that, an A-Wing could now be a pretty great cheap missile carrier.

The "mag pulse" name @jmswood used in the OP has promise to me. Perhaps make it a Tech upgrade, rather than a missile. I love that there are Elite and Illicit upgrade secondary weapons. Add one in from Tech. My first idea is that it could allow you to roll an extra die with your primary weapon, but you'll get a stress and a weapons disabled token for next turn. Kind of a mini-Corran ability. Perhaps that's not unique enough.

Considering the Holograms that DJ showed Finn while en route to the Supremacy about what ship designs were sent to the First Order and such, were those FO designs of a TIE Interceptor/FO and/or a TIE Bomber/FO? Reason being that I wonder is because it show a T-70 X-Wing and it had me thinking the FO designs were up to date with those models as well.

Don't think DJ's ship has much to offer us:

In scale scum epic that is analogous to the Rebel Transport?

Scale-wise, it's about halfway between the length of a Ghost and a Gozanti, but probably less overall volume since it's not as thick or wide. A lot smaller than then 90 meter long GR-75.

Actually, the canonical length of the imperial Gozanti is 63.8m, so it is about 10m shorter, which, if doing it in scale to the other ships, could make it viable as an epic. Remember the Gozanti (and C-ROC) are not the sliding scale of the other epics.

Making it analogous, though not in size obviously, to the Rebel Transport makes it a viable ship for epic.

Ghost: 43.9m

DJ's stolen yacht: 52.8m (1.1 meters different in length from the midpoint between the Ghost and Gozanti)

Gozanti: 63.8m
