What should I fly my Ebon Hawk as?

Bit cheap isn’t it? Should be double that, I’d have though!

I had another though on the size by the way - the Hawk slept six (obviously one of your meatbag companions in KotOR had to sleep on the couch or in the medbay), while Google suggests the Falcon slept three. Makes sense that the Hawk would be more spacious!

That is a 1.0 style card. The primary weapon indicator is a big indicator. Unless you mean 44 pts bare is too cheap for a med base.

Nah, I knew it was 1.0, I was just joking pretending that I didn’t :P

I’ve painted an Armada version as a test. Happy with the colours, the curve will be hard freehand on the big model though!

Looks nice and well played. :) If you're still open to suggestions on what to base it on in game, the Scurrg with a device slot swapped out for a gunner, the title for an illicit and the second device either another illicit, an additional modslot, or a sensor slot could work as a med base version. The dial isn't bad for the size. :)

I certainly am. I don’t know what the Scurrg is like, off the top of my head, will have a look x actually this gives me something to do when my conversion kits arrive next week (they’re coming to the office and usually things arrive around lunch time, so I’ll have the afternoon to look through them). Might wait till the following week to play with it though, should probably start 2.0 off with some actual 2.0 ships!

Bare Lok Revenant on YASB 2.0 for reference. Just apply my suggestions to get an idea of what I'm thinking as an option. https://raithos.github.io/?f=Scum and Villainy&d=v4!s!146:-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1:-1:-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Yeah, but Han made so many alterations, who knows how many a less modded 1300 could sleep.

By my calculations, the falcon probably had a crew of at least 8 during the battle of Endor

4 just to make sure the power system didn't explode. :) 2 gunners, Nieb and Lando did the rest. :)

I can’t tell if your disagreeing with me or simply listing the 8.

But we saw 4 in the cockpit, 2 gunners as you said, and I figure at least 2 engineers in the back nursemaiding things. Could easily be more.

1.0 pricing. Inflate as needed :)

Well, the Dynamic sacrificed cargo capacity for the passenger capacity, per the lore.

I was agreeing while trying to be funny. Looks like I failed.

You know, looking at plans, I think perhaps the Falcon just has way more interior space than you’d think given the limited interior shots.

Disney, please make some amazingly detailed VR models of these ships for us to explore!

Blimey, I’m surprised they could find 2 people brave enough to fly the Falcon inside the Death Star, let alone 8! Still, they didn’t have to sleep there ?

Well, we only really see about a quarter of the inside. Those 2 curving passages have to go somewhere

Cargo bay and sleeping quarters most likely.

They did a VR thing for exploring the Enterprise didn’t they? Some Star Wars versions of that would be amazing (and would force them to make it all make sense, physically),

Isn't Star Trek a Paramount IP? Or am I misreading the application of "they" this time as a specific instead of a general like "someone"?

The latter
