Small Group Seeks (companion)SHIP

By Farseerixirvost, in Star Wars: Edge of the Empire RPG

Starting a 4 PC group and seeking some ship suggestions. We may need to shuttle the occasional person or two (and/or prisoner or two). So the Firespray seems a tad to small. Conversely, the YT 1400 seems a bit much. We don't need all that cargo space (at least, I don't think we do).

Any suggestions for 4-6 people, with medbay and maybe some holding cells? Or is the YT really what I'm after?

Maybe try the YT-560 from Enter the Unknown. It's smaller, with less cargo space, and designed for exploration and research.

I recommend the E-9 from Enter the Unknown. Without modifications, it's still pretty impressive.

You might consider the YG-4400 from Suns of Fortune.

It's a fast and Sturdy ship able to keep pace with Star Fighters in terms of speed. It's a ship specifically designed for smuggling. It's only stock weapon is a Concusion Missile Launcher nestled between the 3 large engines in the back of it. it's a good ship for running away dissuading pursuers.

I believe that FFG's take on the HWK-290 will be a much smaller ship if what they did for it in X-Wing is taken as a clue.

E-9 explorer small fast powerful and actually gives boosts to mechanics and computers while using its systems.

wow you ain't kidding! that link of the hwk-290 is huge. I always thought it was only a little bigger than a stunt fighter.

Lots of great suggestions! The E-9 looks darn sexy. I don't have Enter the Unknown (yet). Any chance there's a schematic of its interior layout in that book? Or online somewhere? (a quick search on wookiepedia only turned up an exterior image).

Thanks for the suggestions!

A layout I made but a Google search will bring up a original http://imgur.com/dAfIjan

he means the YV-560, see the exterior pic as well as the interior layout i designed in my signature below.

it is a very good ship, with sensor range long when most ships have sensor range short, so it can detect enemies before being detected it's self and can scan an entire planet from orbit, not to mention with 4x any other freighters food capacity you can have them go on adventures without stores around for ages and not worry about restocking supplies.

IIRC, the boost is for repairing those systems, not for simply using them (although pretty much all uses of Mechanics seem likely to be covered, with the possible exception of adding Mods to Attachments).
