One ship card you would REALLY like to see FFG print?

By The_Brown_Bomber, in X-Wing

ok here is my ONE wish for a future ship card.

Shuttle Tydarium - Lambda Class Shuttle (rebel only). PS 5, Cost 25pts

  • Select a friendly ship at range 1-2 and Increase its agility score by 1 for the turn. Then receive one stress token.

Something involving the CR-90 having imperial variants.

Yeah, both the transport and the corvette should be playable on both sides.

Modification: Lambda Shuttle only

You now have a secondary rear fire arc with 1 Attack dice.

I 100 percent agree. It would allow me to use a ship that I like but cannot seem to play competitively. It would make that ship so much more viable, and it is in the fluff and even modeled on the ship model! I almost feel like FFG meant to have that and then somehow forgot, since the dial is so bad.

Really? One attack die? You'll never land a hit against any of the ships that are likely to be behind you.

It is a competitive ship, imo. Stats for cost are too good! Especially in a timed game where it doesn't matter if it is turned around, as the game will be over.

I would like to see a generic card for all ships. With a skill level 5 or 6, a system upgrade, and a special talent indicating you may have up to 4 points for any combination of elite pilot skill.

Example you could have Push the limits (3) and Deadeye (1) for a total combination of 4 points.

A-wing title that adds system upgrade slot, 0 points.

it would both help them in the context of the game and make more sense thematically, as A-wings are known for having sensor jammers and other sophisticated electronics. For 25 points a green squadron pilot with push the limit and advanced sensors would be quite fun to use.

I hope one day FFG will make just a card expansion with new pilots and equipment. No model, just cards.

Remote Operative: 10

Player may use 1 generic pilot and ship of opposite faction.

Evade and attack dice are diminished by half (rounded up).

No upgrades or actions are given to this ship. On destruction,

all ships within range 1 must roll 1 attack die and suffer any damage.

Kinda off the wall, but the idea would be that your faction stole a ship from the opposing faction, loaded it with explosives, and made it remote controlled. Since they are controlling it by remote but not actually being there, their attack/evade reflexes would be diminished, and they wouldn't get actions.

Not really a "competitive" card, but I think it would be pretty fun for certain scenarios...

I'm suspecting there is only so many ships they can make, but so many more pilots. Separate pilot card packs would be a great addition to the line up.

Needs a Chewbacca crew card to go with it:

Ship gains +1 defense dice

"I don't know, just fly casual"

When defending at range 1-3, if the Range Ruler of the attacker intersects an asteroid token, you may add one Evade Result to your result instead of adding one Agility Die to your roll. If it intersects another ship base, you may add one Agility die. Both may be added if both apply.

Thoughts? I'm thinking it has too many words... could someone simplify it but still keep the same idea?

"Backblast"
4 point card, A-Wing only, allows rear firing arc to be used at the expense of a focus token.

I just want an x-wing for Corran Horn and an astromech for Whistler.

Oh, and this: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Baudo-class_star_yacht always was one of my fav ship designs.
