Hey,

One of my players plays a noble - playboy on the run and wants him to have his own spaceship with hyperspace capability (debt obligation). You know, chicks dig it.

So I'd like to ask you for help in creating such a machine, since I haven't played the game long enough to tackle the mechanics - I wouldn't like to create anything too powerful...

The ship would have to be a one or two seater, I guess fairly fast, probably not very armoured, maybe with a single point of shields. The player says he doesn't care about weapons, but I guess it might be useful, so I'm thinking about a hardpoint or two. Maybe some other mods should be pre-installed?

Hyperspace capability - it can be that gizmo from the book for 10k, but to apply it to the ship I need base stats first.

Any input welcome!

Look at the Luxury yath 3000 (I think) as for ideas how it's represented. I doubt that I'd allow a luxury space Ferrari, I would have no problems with a Ferrari airspeeder though. I don't think space worthy luxury 2 seaters spaceship would make sense, but in a big galaxy, why not?

The Jumpmaster 5000 on page 256 could work, sort of, perhaps? It's literally a two-seater.

Imagine a densely populated system - habitats, planets, stations etc. Like the Glittering Band from A.Reynolds books (non-Star Wars sci-fi) - Such a fast system craft would be useful there, I think.

The Jumpmaster jumped out at me as well. Right size, has enough hard points for a speed upgrade, and enough interior space for a selection of fine vittles, repasts, jacuzzi and all the rest.

"Hey baby, wanna take a ride in my Jumpmaster and see me Gain the Advantage?"

Hrm. I think she'll just Punch It to show you you're not a Skilled Jockey. Brilliant Evasion!

I would make it something like the N-1 Starfighter (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/N-1_starfighter), but as a 2-seater. The look is pretty much as you've described (probably in red! )

If it were for me, I'd try with the following stats (Based on the Y-Wing with a bit less weapons):

N-2 Starfighter

Silouette: 3

Speed: 4

Handling: 0

Shielding 1/0/0/1

Armor 2

HT Threshold : 12

SS Threshold : 10

Hull Type/Class: Starfighter / Luxury

Manufacturer: Theed Palace Space Vessel Engineering Corps

other specs the same as Y-Wing with Passenger Capacity 1

Cost : 200 000 Cr

Weapons : Keep something simple, like forward laser. Wingtip Mounted Light Laser cannons (Fire Arc Forward,; Damage 5; Critical 3; Range [close]; linked 1)

The goal to keep the weapons, would be that the Galaxy is dangerous, but not something too big

Obviously, this is not in any source books, but the Galaxy as it is can have much more spacecraft manufacturer than the ones specified in the corebook.

It would make sense that after the Clone Wars, Naboo would have moved to a different market, their ships are luxury, from the get-go, so I wouldn't see it a big thing that they would build 2-seaters version for private use. I see this as the Hummer, for civilians! (with style!)

Good ideas aljovin, about the manufacturer and style.

I think I'll use TIE stats, adding a passenger seat and a hardpoint, reducing cannons to one (for clearing space debris), and making them light blaster. This way we have a very fragile, very fast ship... to put into a hyperdrive sled ha ha
