Ithorian Herd Ship freighter

By Dwing, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

This is my design of an Ithorian freighter/personal ship, based on the idea of the Ithorian Herd ships. This guy is working for the Rebels, smuggling stuff like tibanna gas canisters in the forest on his ship. The pilot himself sits high on top of it all and can enjoy the view of the forest and the stars above. Due to Ithorians being generally very peaceful, this ship is lightly armored with a pair of lasers that can swivel around the ship. Furthermore the ship has a docking bay for smaller fighters with a shield barrier normally used in much lager ships.

I see this ship filling a "healer role" in a list, more than something that deals a lot of damage. and I have an idea of a funky way of UFO flying, where you can put your move dials down, using any side of the base, as the ship technically don't have a front, you always have to put your turret indicator to the side that you use though. Then it will probably be a red action to turn the turret. But I will see if I ever get that tested.

This looks fantastic !

Very nice and original ship!!

Good job!!

Nice. What actions/values do you see it having? I can't really see ithorian ships having that high of a hull or attack, but can see them having strong shields..

I agree, might give it more hull, less shields for gameplay though (If it ever his the table, I almost never play Rebels) But focus, turret Swivel. TL, maybe coordinate. I like the idea of it being a help to the rebels, more than a threat, so maybe an ability where it can hand out an evade to 1 friendly ship at ange 0-1 each turn as long as it has shields. The shield envelop the close by friends or something like that.

How's about

"Action. Once a round, you can 'extend your shields' around one ally at range 1, and effectively take a shot that would have hit them, onto your own shields. You cannot use this ability if you have no more shields"?
