Prototype rules for an E-Wing

By crazyxginger, in X-Wing

Here's an idea for initial Ship Stats.

-----

X-Wing Dial.

PS:2

A:2

D:2

H:4

S:2

Actions:

Focus, Target Lock, Barrel Roll

Upgrades:

Astromech x1, Torpedoes x2 x1, Systems x1, EPT x1 (PS4), Cannon x1

pts: 20 (PS2), 22 (PS4)

Edits have been Striked or Underlined

Points and Stats would place the E-Wing right in between the Y and the X. But not completely taking away they roles the X and Y currently own.

The attack dice are to low, the E-Wing has three assault lasers which are grossly more powerful than Heavy Lasers.

To imulate Assault lasers you could do two things, make them a upgrade card OR a special ability maybe only a named pilot would have.

The rules could work like this. They do strength 3 damage, for each dodge die sacrificed you get one addtional attack die up to max dodge dice.

Where did you find E-Wings have assault lasers?

The A version had laser cannons or heavy blasters. The B version carries three Assault Laser cannons. refrence Star ships of the galaxy 2001 page 67 third paragraph.

Well look at that. I ask for some stats and boom! Thanks for all the input there guys.

Although I still need some suggestions for how to base these suckers. I'm thinking magnets but where can I find some small magnets and also where can I get extra bases?

I have no idea what the link to the thread is. but there is one floating around where you use magnets and brass rods to mount models. might be back 3-5 pages.. it was a fairly large thread that started about painting...

basically the person modified all their models to rods and magnets so interchanges would be easier and the stands more durable.

The one's I ordered from Shapeways fit the FFG pegs just fine. Can't remember the artist... thought it was the same.

My thoughts:

Tie Interceptor Maneuver dial

A: 3 E: 3 H: 3 S: 2 (maybe add another hull or shield)

Focus, Target Lock, ,Torpedoes, maybe Boost so it matches the Tie Interceptor's speed (would love to put a System on it but that may be too op)

23-24 Pts for PS 2

26 Pts for PS 4 (maybe add EPS since you are already can't field more than 3)

I think this conveys pretty accurately that this is the most advanced ship the rebels can field, the cost is kind of prohibitive to using a bunch of them, and it doesn't necessarily take another ship's place although it seems to be in direct competition with the X-Wing, but the cost makes it a tough decision. It plays like a beefier Tie Interceptor but w/o evade or barrel roll isn't as dodgy.

Awww man, I was off by the evade action, one point, and I flipped the shields and the hull. So close....

Do you have pictures of the your e-wings, I would like to see them in size to other ships.

I might want to buy some.
