I decided to give it the sensor dome off an Imperial corvette. It needs more work - a lot more work - but threw on some basic colours.
Michael Cruz
It's pretty big compared to the Falcon, but it needs to if you're going with dual snub fighter hangars.

This ship was designed using the attached PDF. Print off one sheet per player, and have them circle an item. Mash the items together and generate a starship.

if we wanted to find an old consular-class for the rebellion, where would a good place to look be? something like that cant be easy to find
Luke Green
>if we wanted to find an old consular-class for the rebellion, where would a good place to look be? >something like that cant be easy to find There would probably be a few floating around the black market, but you'd need some very particular contacts to access that particular arcane segment of the business. And, since that would be a class highly desired by pirates, there'd likely be a bidding war. But you could almost certainly lay hands on one that way if you had to Second option; there's likely more than a few in Imperial reserve stockpiles and boneyards. They're gonna have pretty good security and the ship is like to be halfway to a hulk, but theft is certainly an option Third, little boats like the consular would have gone down in massive numbers in the Clone Wars, and a certain percentage of the wrecks are gonna be salvageable, though pirates and mercs and other rebels are gonna have picked the most obvious ones already. But there're gonna be a few repairable hulls out there if you know where to look
Ryder Reed
on that note, what is the smallest possible crew you could use to activate it? the crew in the manual i think also includes personnel not strictly needed to fly it
Alexander Morgan
Has anyone else noticed that the Sith code only ever truly worked for Vader? he's the only person who was freed by The Force.
Michael Mitchell
have defence die ever really worked? they only work half the time, and only stop 0.3 wounds
the only thing they seem to do is be the only thing that can stop lightsabers, if only barely
Joshua Lopez
Fuck, like 4-6 guys could get it moving and into hyperspace, get it to where it's going but not be able to fight worth a shit
On an important side note, when FFG was coming up with crew numbers, at least for the small warships, I suppose they didn't quite get that such a ship would need three shifts of the listed crew numbers to operate properly, though a pirate or rebel boat could get by with one full shift and a couple guys to stand watch the other 16 hours of the day, but that would be extremely raggedy-assed in any situation aside from pirate-style raiding
Dylan Davis
Why aren't there any replicant/synthetic androids in Star Wars? Is the concept just not really expanded upon? It seems like the technology would be there given the cybernetics we see with Luke's hand. Regular droids seem to possess or develop personalities all the time too, so they're already human-like without even looking it.
Asking because I have a player who wants to create either this or a heavily cybernetic human - Ghost in the Shell style.
Asher Davis
there dont seem to be replicants that advanced, although a infiltrator droid with synthflesh would make a half decent attempt, although it would look incredibly unsettling of you looked at it up close
bio-tech is not actually very advanced, preferring heavy handed plastics or metals, and obvious mechanical prosthethics, rather than manipulating cells

I've only ran FFG Star Wars and droids feel like what is basically just another race and not, well, droids. I feel that WEG & Wizards did better in making droid characters feel more like a machine rather than just another random race. If only the Droid character rules in WEG were less nonexistant.
Eli Butler
It'd be a bit of a nightmare to make droids function on their own entirely separate system though.

General question: what's Veeky Forums's opinion on SWD6?
I came across REUP recently, and I was thinking of running a game, but I'm not too familiar with the system.
Asher Jenkins
I'd say it's probably second best. Better than d20, but can't really stand up against FFG.
Chase Baker
>General question: what's Veeky Forums's opinion on SWD6? Pretty good. Even if you don't use d6, the splat books are a goldmine of lore and starships for use in the other game systems.
Isaac Peterson
The guy spelled it with 2 "b"s in the original image. I figured it was a deliberate misspelling, like "Khrome"
Jacob Rodriguez
Its an old system that was good for the time. I regularly plunder the modules and books (both D6 and D20) for a literal mountain of fun stuff
Landon Harris
In TPM, didn't it just have Qui gon, Obi, and the two pilots?
Benjamin Rogers
Arguably better than FFG's system depending on what you want out of it. D6 is very easy to house-rule and has much better scaling than FFG, in fact it's got the better vehicle rules in general. It's more of a simulationist (insofar as star wars can be) system compared to the more narrative mechanics seen in FFG's, and is a lot more dangerous for PCs, especially if they're scrooges with character points. As far as I remember, I'm pretty sure that R2 single-handedly flew a Venator in TCW too.
Grayson Morales
Being able to fly something doesn't imply you only need the one guy for a long-term crew. Anakin landed half a ship too, with a little help from another guy, but there's a difference between flying and crewing.
Jayden Wood
Ok so I have an idea for a list but I'm not sure how to best implement it. I want big ships with a lot of red dice complimenting each other.
For fun: Starkiller Base Pilot -FCS -Hyperwave Comms Scanner Starkiller Base Pilot -FCS -Hyperwave Comms Scanner Lieutenant Dormitz -FCS -Hyperwave Comms Scanner
This can counter deploy against any list and chuck red dice like mad. Takes a bit to turn around though.
This can compliment Chiraneau with each ship having 4 red dice, target locks, and focuses on each attack. Pattern analyzer combos with Inspiring recruit to do 1 red turns in the shuttle while still giving out actions. Green for RAC locks, action to coordinate RAC expose, EI to fleet officer. RAC moves and can bump without fear. Action could be to boost if I drop some upgrades.
4 red dice and 5 red dice each turn with target locks/focus. Less synergy than the last one, but Kyle brings his ability to couple with RAC's crits, and a second exposing ship.
Thoughts? The space Cadillac is more maneuverable and powerful than the space cow. And I think the triple threat list would be fun. Get into range 3, chuck 12 dice, get a lock, 0 stop and lay on the trigger.
Eli Ramirez
>in a long time... a long time. I think my cooking's awesome
Alexander Smith
Sabbacc Fortune guy here. All that 3d look hella cool. The size is pretty accurate as it is considered a Medium Freighter and the same size category as the ubiquitous Action VI (Sil 5). Plus being able to launch 2 snubfighters takes space. Sure its cramped, dirty and cluttered space but it needs space none the less.
Adam Wilson
Space Nazgul with some connection to Nihilus--viable Sith antagonist concept or no? If yes, what makes more sense fluff-wise? Sith fanboys who did enough homework to become shitty watered down knock-offs of the OG or fragments of Nihilus' spirit that splintered off and manifested some time after his burial?
Jonathan Rogers
It's an interesting idea, and I think I'll use it myself. I'd rather they be Force Ghosts or something, tied to some Sith Lord's Holocron, or power, to tie into why the Nazgul themselves are terrifying, however. Plus fighting something that can strip the Force from you and kill you might be a bit much.
Grayson Lopez
Strip force abilities and thats it. No force abilities can be used while they are near so they are immune. Anti-force ghosts immune to lightsaber damage would be terrifying to any Jedi.
David Williams
How about a bit of both. Some cult springs up, starts imitating a sith lord and eventually finds an artifact of their power, probably a holocron. They decide to open it, only to for their minds to be overwhelmed and bent to the will of the sith lord, essentially becoming hosts to his force ghost.
Brayden Turner
>I'd rather they be Force Ghosts or something, tied to some Sith Lord's Holocron, or power, to tie into why the Nazgul themselves are terrifying, however.
That's kind of why I'm trying to figure out how to tie them to Nihilus. When he was buried, he made contact with Korriban's dark side nexus. Surely that sort of thing would allow him to do spookier shit than just throwing unintelligible insults at wannabes like Darth Krayt. Plus, I love the concept of the guy and feel like KOTOR 2 kind of squandered his potential. Seems like there's so much more that could be done with him.
Ian Smith
What exactly is it that makes the Move power so powerful?
Nolan Flores
You can throw AT-ATs at people. Quite easily.
Wyatt Sanchez
>What exactly is it that makes the Move power so powerful? if you dump enough XP & force points into it you can use it to hurl YT-1300s at your enemies.
What more do you want?!
Caleb Flores
Fair enough. I guess I was thinking the splinters or what have you would have the full gamut of Nihilus's powers and that's some high tier shit.
That's pretty cool, yeah.
Owen Campbell
Quick question /swg/. I'm playing Imperial Assault on Tabletop Simulator and we want to use the non-core scenarios. Do any scans of the other rulebooks exist?
Liam Watson
As I recall it, the visual dictionary for the film specifies that that particular vessel was set up for discrete diplomatic operations, with the majority of shipboard functions covered by droids/automation. Fewer people on board means fewer sources for leaks.
Samuel Gutierrez
It starts off reasonable, but with sufficient investment of XP (in the skill and in Force Rating upgrades from talent trees) you can hurl awfully large things, very easily.
I've got her picture in my photo wagon.
Jaxson Hill
in strongholds of resistance there's a side-bar that says that a skeleton crew would be 1/4 or less than 1/2 of it's listed crew. however in the AoR core it lists each crew position on the ship. strangely it calls for 4 engineers to operate, which is strange when you consider that both the gozanti, GR-75, and VCX-100 are very similar in size and only need 1 engineer each for a full crew...
Guess Consular engines are more finicky than others.
Luis Flores
Ha ha keep it popping
Carson Ramirez
I still run it. In my opinion, it's the best system there is.
Ian Walker
To be fair, Shadows of the Empire is probably one of the likliest of Legends canon to be reofficialized. Black Sun is already canon, as well as Xizor's race and their connections to Black Sun. Plus the story has very little in the way of continuity issues with current canon. At this point it would be easy to just say "Shadows of the Empire is canon", but what will likely happen instead is it will get revisited somehow.
Jose Baker
REUP or the one of the original editions?
Cameron Roberts

Pablo and a lot of the storyboard hate SotE, mostly because of Dash being a cheap knockoff and Xizor being a rapey creep.
Hunter Bennett
In my opinion, REUP is WAY too wordy and unnecessarily detailed. I run a modified/simplified version of the WEG-published Second Edition, Revised & Expanded.
The most important part of WEG's D6 Star Wars RPG is that rules and rulings can be made up on the fly. There's a quote from the book that says as much:
"No set of rules can cover every situation. It's expected that you will make up new rules to suit the needs of your game." - The Star Wars Roleplaying Game, 2R&E, pg. 69, WEG, 1996.
REUP defeats that idea by including each and every homerule that an entire community of players has come up with over two decades. That doesn't improve the game. Rather, it just slows it down.
Star Wars is cinematic. We don't see the heroes of the Rebellion worrying about food, or sleep, or recharging their droids - unless, of course, those things add to the story.
Levi Lee
I need images! Images of light freighters!
Christian Morris
Why wouldn't the Tusken Raiders attack these and take all the water
Luke Reed
So I brought this list to my LGS and it did well but me and this other player both agreed that the K-Wing needs TLT. Problem is we can't figure out what to change. Thoughts?
>Rey VI Finn Kanan TFA Title >Miranda EM Conner Net Ion Bombs Cluster Mines Sabine Adv SLAM
Jeremiah Fisher
I would suppose the jawas have some defenses set up. Tusken raiders aren't exactly known for their siege weaponry.
Austin Ortiz
I'm pretty wary of Cluster mines after watching a Tie/sf fly through all three in one maneuver and suffer 1 damage before Sabine.
Nathaniel Rivera
Alright, don't know where else to put this, sor I'll ask here.
I'm doing a heavily cyberpunk inspired campaign and I'm using EotE rules pretty much out of the box, the only thing really home brewed is the setting.
But I want net diving/hacking to be more of a thing, with Deck customization and everything. I know half the solution would be to make a rig with upgrades akin to cybernetics, but does anyone have any suggestions on how to integrate a more robust hacking system into the game?
Ifeed possible, how to boil a Netrunner game down to thirty seconds of decision making amd gear/programs choices that translates into a dice pool. I don't want to do a dungeon crawl for one person, just a way to put more flavor and choice into a computers check.
Tl;Dr how do I make hacking more cyberpunk and as interesting as combat?
Ian Miller
Because.
Owen Barnes
Agreed. It's helped me once so far but that was due to my opponent flying into it and only having one hull, and it was actually Sabine who delivered the finishing blow. That's only 4 points though which would be enough for Autoblaster or Dorsal Turret.
Nicholas Miller
Have you checked out the expanded slicing rules in Special Modifications? Also perhaps treat decks as a crafted tool or mobile workshop from that book
Colton Powell
I believe Special Modifications has in depth Slicing rul... user above beat me to it. You could always run a cyberpunk campaign in Star Wars, Nar Shadaa and Coruscant are ripe for that kind of scum.
Landon Price
She's probably love to honky-tonk.
They are in the unique position of being able to work in parts of the story into nucanon, while simultaneously improving on the flaws.
I doubt they would, however. It is easier just to leave it well alone.
As already pointed out, Special Modifications has good hacking rules. It also has rules for creating stuff like cybernetics, which could fit what you are looking for.
In short, get Special Modifications. It is the book that keeps on giving.
Nolan Adams
How often is the extra pilot skill helping Rey out right now? Seems like aces are few and far between at top level play atm. But if your local meta is ace-heavy, then you'll want to keep VI.
Mason Brown
Looks solid. The UPS looks to be a useful heavy gunship type, not unlike the YV. Kylo w/ swarm leader, hux crew, and some x7 defenders seems mean.
Jose Fisher
I haven't played many people in my local meta but the one's I have love Soontir.
Thomas Taylor
I'm surprised that there are no lightsaber techniques that incorporate cortosis shields or anything. Is there any particular reason for that? or has it really never occurred to them that having a big slab of laser-sword-proof metal between them and an angry Sith might not be a bad idea?
Camden Rodriguez
I've run the same thing and it is awesome. Because Rey is so expensive you just have to choose between TLT, bombs, or homing missiles.
Caleb Reed
Jedi are space samurai, samurai don't use shields.
Christian Gutierrez
Thanks guys! I'll check out the book and see what it has to offer, which from what it sounds like is quite alot.
Tyler Harris

Sabine is Obi-Wan's daughter (dude got around), hooks up with Luke, has Rey, is dumped on Jakku by Ben Solo.
Solved it for you.
Jacob Garcia

Angel Cox
That is the worst blaster I've ever seen, and Rey is far too uninteresting to be related to Kenobi. Also Luke would never cheat on Mara.

Ayden Parker
So, how could one run around as a force sensitive who is comparable to Corvo Attano/Emily Kaldwin in terms of ability? Could you use Move to grab unconscious enemies and pull them towards you to stash them out of sight?
Cooper Stewart
Now that I'm thinking about it, I figure it's not unlikely that sabine's father was a clone trooper [/spoiler]maybe it was Fives[/spoiler]
Charles Watson
Corvo's biggest power is teleporting, and I'm not sure Jedi can do that.
Carter Hughes
>Memeing this hard
She has flaws you just refuse to recognize them, so far she following the traditional hero's journey and most of the flak the movie gets isn't about her as it's about the reused tropes from the rest of the series. great bait though.
Leo Myers
but could you use Emily's Pull ability or Domino?
Aaron Bennett
but they got that Force power: enhance, so he could run and jump so fast that it seems like he's teleporting!
Adam Allen
Nice to see someone else running it too! I'll probably practice with a few different builds before settling on one before the next local tournament.
Caleb Jackson
Tell me her flaws, not that user but I'd like to actually get other peoples' opinions on her.
Asher Baker
It's white, the barrels are too small and it's only got one stock. It's awful.
Carson Morris
Not the other guy, but that blaster is complete shit and doesn't fit the Star Wars aesthetic at all.
Samuel Sanders
Legends had a Force Teleport power. IIRC, it came up during the post-Vong era though so nobody gave a shit.
Levi Long
It actually came about in the Hand of Thrawn Duology, but no main characters ever learned it above parlor trick levels till after the Vong.
People give Zahn shit for the Luuke cop-out? No, the worst thing Zahn ever added to the EU was fucking teleportation.
Samuel Collins
>Luke would never cheat on Mara. Mara Jade does not exist, per Pablo.
Sabine's mother would have the opportunity to meet Obi-Wan (Filoni made sure to make sure that was hinted at), and obviously would be the Asian half of the equation.
>also awesome fucking blaster and mando armor. I have no strong feelings about the image one way or another.
Charles Bennett
To me the obvious answer is Bo-Katan for Sabine's mother. Has met Obi-wan, is part of deathwatch and tied to house visla, and has the right ties to mando leadership
