So I was lying awake this morning before I had to get dressed for work, and I had bit of inspiration, both for a new Sienar product and a terrible pun.
A new product in the TIE line, the TIE Payload Delivery/Ordinance, or TIE/PDO for short. Basically it's a small one shot ordinance carrier with a simple droid brain that can be fired insystem as a cruise missile, and will attempt to deliver its payload in one of several preprogrammed ways. It can be configured to launch it's entire payload at a capital sized hostile, individual missiles at the nearest smaller hostiles, or to hide and act as a passive missile launching mine that waits for one of the two other conditions to be met. Aside from being a fun little surprise for Rebel Scum, I could also see a number of them being fired insystem from an Imperial ship, then a timed microjump being made so that the TIE/PDO's enter the situation just after the engagement begins for maximum confusion. Terrible idea, or best terrible idea?

>In nucanon, IIRC, some author pulled a deus ex machina out of his ass and magically gave the Rebellion overwhelming numbers out of nowhere. I don't think it was ever properly explained or number-crunched.
That sounds pretty dumb. I could see increasing support after the emperors fall as more and more systems dared to officially support the rebels, but overwhelming numbers doesn't seem right. What book was this in?

I really want to see Rey get her head chopped off in the next movie. The Star Wars films basically never kill off female characters because (((George Lucas)))) is too much of a pussy to have women die on screen.
I want a violent female lightsaber death where she begs Kylo Ren for mercy while her intestines are fused into her ribcage by charcoal. What a fucking annoying character, too. I wanted to chainsaw her cunt up her stomach the whole two hours I had to sit through her bitchy British accent and Mary Sue faggotry.
And of course they present the black dude as this moron who gets "friendzoned" by her even though the only reason he helps her is (1) guilt that is triggered by some guy getting shot even though this dumb-ass has seen shittons of massacres and (2) he wants to get some sweet white pussy from a girl who is about 80 RGB values too light-skinned to be seriously living on Tatooine which has like nine fucking suns pouring UV into every grain of sand.
I hated the entire fucking movie so much. I seriously just want her to die. Instead they took out Han Fucking Solo by having him stabbed by his whiny bitch of a son. Where the fuck did THOSE genes come from? It's like Indiana Jones again with the prep-school faggot who had to come his hair every five minutes. The fuck? Does Lucas even understand genetics? Or was he too busy drawing fledgling lightsabers instead of doing his Punnett Squares in biology class?
I cannot believe they wiped out the canon, I ran a great fucking d20 star wars game in the post-empire era and now it's been replaced by these shitty Nazi lookalikes and my entire campaign feels ingenue now. This is what you get for running RPGs in published official settings. They change shit on you, and you cant call your stories your own because there are nine trademarks attached.

Don't you think, that Stealth Device cost too much for it's effect?
Alexander Stewart
Forged in Battle been scanned yet?
And is there a NOT SHIT scan of Savage Spirits yet?
Oliver Hernandez
Stealth devices are very much worth their point cost on 3-agility ships. Compare with a hull upgrade: if that extra dice helps you avoid even one point of damage, it's done it's job. There's a small chance it won't, but it might also prevent more than that.

I'd like this a lot if it didn't spin. And I don't mean that gif image in particular, I mean the fighter design.
Brandon Nguyen
Spin?

Every ship should have a purpose in a squad. All I'm seeing is a bunch of ace pilots with no synergy. If I spend points on a pilot with an ability, I try to build the squad around that ability.
Here's my double Defender squad;
TIE Defender, Delta Squadron Pilot (30) - TIE/x7 (-2) - Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) TIE Defender, Countess Ryad (34) - TIE/D (0) - Predator (3) - Ion Cannon (3) - Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1) TIE/fo Fighter, Epsilon Squadron Pilot (15) TIE/fo Fighter, Epsilon Squadron Pilot (15) 100 pts.
Basically, Countess Ryad rolls six dice when attacking (3 ion, 3 laser), with free rerolls from Predator. If I hit with the ion cannon, I'm almost guaranteed to get behind you next turn and do it again.
The other ships are there to dogfight with the enemy while Countess Ryad eliminates the biggest threat. You could configure the other Defender with the TIE/D title and a secondary weapon if you downgrade one or both First Order TIEs for standard TIE Fighters.
My god, that's a lot of spinning. Also, now I'm sad the protectorate fighter doesn't have a full stop maneuver, that could be pretty fun on such a ship.

Rey/Finn 2016! Why build a wall, when you bathe in the tears of butthurt?
Aiden Allen
It's got Tallon Rolls, however!
Ayden Martinez
I like it, but I would want to have two defenders with the ion to have them tag team a large ship or disable two separate aces.
If I could get some feedback on my list, Im trying to make a Defender/decimater combo and I have been trying all kinds of things. I also REALLY like how Ruthlessness work with TIE/D and Tractor Beam.
