Tantive IV at beginning of ANH?

By LUZ_TAK, in X-Wing Epic Play

No idea if there is an agreed set of upgrades for the Tantive IV as seen at the beginning of ANH or end of Rogue One. I crafted this one, using all known characters (that I'm aware off) and then selecting some other upgrades that seemed ok, since I'm extremely green in all things epic...

I tried to build something better, but if you're trying to fill every slot, I think you've got the best load out while maintaining screen accuracy.

Not really wild about C-3PO or R2-D2 on a huge ship, but there isn't aren't any more thematic options.

It doesn't have to fill every slot at all. How could it improve and make it cheaper?

Personally, I would drop gunnery and suppressive, and if you aren't totally married to having all movie characters there, I would drop R2

That sounds... criminal. Also, R2 seems good on a Zero-agility ship.

Dropping gunnery and suppressive, keeping R2:

The problem is that R2 can end up flipping damage cards, many of which can cripple a huge ship if left unchecked

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I wonder if they'd ever make a model/remote for the escape pods. That would be kinda cute. Open up a couple mission and build options. Being able to jettison the Droid Bros for some benefit would be comically and mechanically hilarious and intriguing. Wouldn't be much different than the Falcon pod
