At the time I made these it was the first time I had ever made a custom card, plus there were less waves to compare to as there are now. Yea probably should be cheaper in retrospect which I already admitted a few posts back along with a few other tweaks I'd probably do now.
My N-1 Starfighter cards I made
Gotcha. That makes sense.
What about doing upgrade cards for them?
Energy torpedoes could be pretty cool. Instead of discarding the card, you flip it face down and flip it back up when you do a green maneuver. Could be pretty legit.
Ok, first a quick question (I'm new to these forums), has anyone tried to come up with a point cost formula for home-brew ships?
i.e. 1 body point = 1 cost, 1 agility = 1 cost, etc...
Second, what about the vulture droids? With scum and villainy coming out, I could see a bounty hunter, criminal or some type of outer rim warlord still using vulture droids (maybe a left over cache that was discovered) as well as buzz-droids as a type of mine.
Although I do like the N-1 cards.![]()
Why would an N-1 cost two more points than a TIE fighter?
You have it with the same attack and total HP, but one less evade.
That's a terrible trade-off.
It's like the advanced vs. Xwing.... Ok not quite as bad but you get the point.
I'd give it a sick dial (defender-esque with less red and no white K), loose a torp, add a sheild, and keep AG at 2. Make it feel like a z-95 but less PS, BR, astromech, better dial, torp instead.

There was a formula kicking around during wave 2-3 that was pretty close... Got you within 2-3 and you could adjust it up and down from there.
Baseline: PS0 2/2/3/0, 5pts
Att/AG +6
Hull +3
Sheild +4.25
PS+1
Something like that. lg ships got ~7pt discount. This was before things really started getting UNIQUE stuff.
i think these are awesome, but their agility should be a little higher. if not 4 (to make them the fastest in the game), definitely 3. Those ships are super maneuverable. i love the artwork and pilot names though. definitely would love the N-1 in the game.
Not moreso than X-wings or Z-95 Headhunters. They're not TIE fighter maneuverable.
I'd only have one Torpedo slot. It's got equivalent capacity to the X-wing, multiple slots are only found on bomber craft.
