Hey guys! If there would be a Hammerhead Corvette (edit. Thanks for clarifying that), like the one from Rogue One, what would you like/think it will bring (as crew, teams, hardpoints, etcetera)?
The super looked after crew K-2SO it's an obvious one, but what else? Or what do you expect that droid could bring to X-Wing?

This would be more at home in the epic forum Yes?

no its good here. this is general discussion and all topics are welcome.
Some sort of new ramming abilities would be fun.
It's a corvette.
Scum needs a 2nd epic before Rebellion gets a 3rd, but yes. Hammerhead would make an excellent choice of Epic ship.
If Raddus and Ackbar are going to show up in X-wing, this is the expansion to do it. I would love to see Gen Merrick (the dude with the 'stache) but I'm not sure I need any more X-wings... Maybe if it has flappy wings in a blue squadron colors... But only if they are good.

So Hammerhead corvette would basically be on par with the Cr90 in size but its tankier with fewer guns. the cleanist application in game might be a title that gives passive reinforce, on a chasis with a light turret and 1 hardpoint.
a really big support ship would be cool.
as for crew, could be all sorts but i assume it would be filler and neglected characters, as the hammerhead doesnt have known crew. a "captain Ram-bro" or whatever card would be fun, let you mash other big ships

The OP calles it a Frigate

my bad, saw he labelled it a frigate
Its got some big guns on the sides. I could see it moving quickly, having some serious frontal and rear firepower, but not so much to the sides. Also it should have some good frontal armor but a weak rear.
Some Old Republic Hammerhead models were frigates but the one from Rogue One is definitely a corvette.

Hmm, like super bumping, something like both ships roll an attack die and suffer damage, but perhaps the Hammerhead gets to roll a defense die, while those it hits roll two attack die.

Something like that sounds about right.
Now potentially harder but also flavorful is if it could “push” the ship it rammed, like the Hammerhead in the movie with the Star Destroyer.
I'd include an upgrade/title so that its fore section should be protected against overlapping/ramming damage.
I'd include a mod so that it has a permanent reinforce in its fore section but loses the reinforce action.
As far as titles go: it deals extra ramming damage against other capitals (1 point).
I'd give it a modest primary. (Range 2-4, 4 dice, spend energy for a 5th die). Seemingly, it has 2 turret slots - I'd put that on (double TLT - ouch!). In total, that would give it relatively modes attacking power, but mainly energy independent, emphasizing its tank possibilities.

That would be hard to implement, unless two ships struck perpendicular or head on, it would be too messy to move them in clear move. Unless you said F*ck it, I bumped you and get to slide your ship around where I like as long as they still touch and I complete my maneuver. A bit like crimson leader/specialist being able to place bombs anywhere of his Base.

Agreed. Figuring out how to implement a push mechanic is probably a task better left alone. But if they managed it, it would be cool.

Make a new Push Template that is the length of the legal push maneuver (like a 1 straight distance) that has 2 hooks, one at each end of the template. The template slides UNDER the cardboard base and hooks on the plastic stand. Then, the ship slides sideways along the template from the first hook to the second hook, in the direction the Hammerhead pushed it (smashing every ship in its way, BWWWUUUUHHAHAHA).
Move the ship that will be struck FIRST, then move the Hammerhead into bumped contact SECOND.

Well duh. Obviously the Star Jewel will be here soon, but after that the Hammerhead and the Dornean Gunship will be our next two huge ships for the rebels. And then maybe they’ll supply us with an Imp Huge ship that actuslly appears in a film.

Hammerhead (epic) with Blue Squadron X-Wing (or Y-Wing) would be perfect.
Crews: Radus and K-2SO are essential. Maybe also Ackbar.
Since rebels are about to get another X-Wing release, I'd bet a Y-Wing release. Give Rebels the Y-Wing upgrades from Most Wanted, a pack with Ion Torpedoes, and some new pilots (with EPTs).

It would be nice to see the Y-Wing as the mini, but toss in cardboard for Blue Squadron X-wings (General Merrick, Blue Squad Vet, Jaldine Gerams, et. al.). Make it a Battle of Scarif pack.

That's even better.

Maybe also a new title (BTL-S3).
