I have plans on being the GM for a Star Wars rpg session, and I was thinking of giving them a small ship to start off with. And that is would be a Wayfarer Transport ship (pic related). But are there any other ship options to choose from? Or is the Wayfarer the best one?
Blake Gray
Depending on which RPG you decide to play there are several options suggested in the rule book, from a YT-1300 to a collection of aging Y-wings.

Elijah Nguyen
Shut up your dumbass ideas would star wars terrible and boring as shit. If you want to make a hippy peace loving setting than go ahead.
Isaiah Roberts
Except Yoda, anyway.
Nathan Stewart
What book are you using? The FFG games already have a section with what ships you can give your players to start off.
David Moore
He just lost the will to live.
Easton Ortiz
who is the qt in the y-wing
Michael Davis
Cad Bane is the superior.
Evan Mitchell
The superior what? Dicksucker?
Liam Collins
Figures that a frogposter would throw a fit when told to self-actualize.
Parker Parker
Now that you mention it, the apparatus he is wearing is supposed to prevent him from suffocating while choked by a forceuser. Pretty sure it would work just as well for sucking dick.
Dominic Brooks
>Obi-Wan >Yoda >Kanan >Ahsoka
And two of those are just in a few years. Anyone who thinks that nucanon won't retread the same shit as EU are fooling themselves, not when you can have special snowflakes as your book/comic/tv show/video game characters
Jonathan Smith
do you guys have any tips on how to mentally deal with the fact i want to play SW but i can't because new films are trash?

Parker Parker
You should probably kill yourself my man Fuck off hippy the setting is called STAR WARS not peace wars numale.
Hudson Morris
>He thinks Kanan and Ahsoka make it
That's cute.
Logan Ross
Is Star Wars Destiny good?
Jose Lopez
Nah, they'll just put in untrained force users who are just as good as jedi like R1 did.
Don't play in a time frame covered by the new films? Ignore the characters and take the parts you like? Get over yourself?
Charles Cruz
>new films are trash? But only ep VII is bad, user
Andrew Morales
What does playing Star Wars games have to do with watching Star Wars movies? It's not like rolling red dice and placing maneuver templates doesn't work unless you've seen Force Awakens three times.
Carter Ortiz
Well, it's suggested that any ship under 150,000 credits would work.
So like depending on the size of your group, you could put them in a HWK-290, or a JumpMaster 5000, you get the idea.
Lucas Mitchell
Go play games instead of making bait posts on /swg/?
Alexander Williams
>150,000 EotE says 120,000 or less. F&D says 70,000 or less.
Jaxon Bell
Was getting BTFO worth the (you)s?
Connor Price
so Badass Rhaddus is still alive right?
Jacob Bennett
Cad Bane lives an adventurous and exciting sex life, and has claimed the title of superior at every sex act. Known and unknown.
Jackson Jackson
Jedi have the force, they dont need a big spaceship
Jack Thompson
I just don't know where he got 150,000 from.
Josiah Peterson
>Doesn't mean Order 66 or the dark times >Actually means ever dying ever

Camden Reed
Consider that every single one of the STAR WARS we've seen in the STAR WARS films have been kicked off by some Dark Side dillweed high on midichlorians deciding that the status quo is boring and setting out to incite people to murder each other until ??? happens and things magically go their way.
It's a key element of the setting that the use of the Dark Side actively makes things worse for everybody in the grand scheme of things. Warfare and cool space fights isn't a cosmic no-no, but using THE LIFE FORCE THAT FLOWS THROUGH US AND BINDS ALL THINGS TOGETHER as a weapon is.
Brayden Gomez

OK, whew, some of my favourites for starting PCs
A YT-1300 - boring, but a staple for a reason. Plus if your party aren't hardcore into star wars, the Milennium Falcon cred can work wonders.
Other YTs under the price barrier - good if your party wants something a little different but still very familiar (much the same reason they probably got written into the EU in the first place). The YT-2400 is a good aspiration ship though, so it can be nice to leave it dangling.
Ghtroc 720 - my shipfu. It is a Turtle. A Space Turtle. It is the best.
HWK-1000 - is a great ship. But I think it also works nicely as a ship for the players to have their eyes on to follow the dream if you are playing Edge. It certainly packs a lot for its price.
Aiden Adams
Why not the Lambda?
Ayden Adams
Because I have a bad memory.
Point is with 70k and 120k, you still have enough for a JM-5000 or a HWK-290.
Yeesh.
Dylan Hall
Ahsoka is already dead and Kanan doesn't make it to rogue one.
this is not a issue of universal mortality, it's being a Jedi where Jedi can no longer be.
Liam Gray
So since we're talking about shipfus...
What's the best large ship for an expierenced party?
I'm playing a character with the commodore specialization, and I finally convinced the GM to let us get a ship larger then a freaking freighter (an MC40). What's a similar size ship you guys like?
Blake Lopez
Party bus. YV-666. That way you'll all fit in it!
Henry Smith
>It's new, therefor it bad
Joshua Rodriguez
Marauder Corvettes are sexy

Zachary Reed
Currently redesigning the interior of my party's ship, using pic related floorplan. We're taking out the gunwell, and reducing it to four bunks. What kind of amenities would a ship have beyond the obvious lounge, workshop, cargo bay, refresher, engineering bay, supply locker, and galley?
SHUT UP PLO-KOON SURVIVED THAT CRASH
Chase Foster
>3.75 k crew Are you sure that was wise? How do you rationalize doing anything for yourselves with that many people under you?
Colton Martinez
Oh, oh dear.
Jeremiah Reyes
I am glad that we both agree that the setting is called STAR WARS and war is an important and inescapble facet of the series. If jedi never used the force to defend themselves than the Mandelorians let alone the sith would have ruled the galaxy forever long ago.
Daniel Wright
Can someone shoot down my silly idea for a list? Prince Xizor and friends...
Xizor & friends (100)
Prince Xizor — StarViper 31 Push the Limit 3 Advanced Sensors 3 Autothrusters 2 Virago 1 Ship Total: 40
Lambda is an OK starting ship that fits well with a Rebel party that has a base elsewhere.
To me, it has a few big downside: - Imperial Cache. The look of the Lambda, and it being a government contract ship paints a big target on its back if the party aren't Imps/don't have a ground base - Living space: This could be a benefit, and I did run a game with a party of Rebels where part of the struggle was living out of it, eating meals off a power cell hot plate and sleeping on an durasteel floor. There isn't any, so it isn't a good party base/party space. It is a party vehicle to ferry them from place to place. - It does have enough for the party to do in it though, so it can be a good functional ship.
Luis White
>silly idea >Xizor and friends >no Guri >no uncommon aces on uncommon ships >just more Jumpmasters Is your idea of "silly" to wear beige socks instead of white socks?
Michael Wilson
Where do you guys go to find games/players online? Game Finder thread's been dead for a while and I'm thinking of starting a game for myself
Andrew Campbell
Facebook/reddit real life. What are you an anti-social neckbeard?
Connor Ross
MC 40s are big fucking ships. In that size range, I'm very fond of the old Dreadnaught, and the Vindicator is also pretty neat
Connor Allen
No, but getting in character is much easier for me through text rather than in person
Plus all the people I know in real life are only interested in DnD
Parker Rodriguez
You can try the roll20 gamefinder, but I can almost guarantee the types you'll find will be of a lower caliber, if not down right fetishistic. Ask some work/school buds if they want to try a game night and offer them beer/pizza.
Joseph Green
>silly idea >two Jumpmasters >Manaroo, no upgrades
See what you've done here is just made a not great scum list. Xizor is a top meme but then two Jumpmasters, one with no upgrades? But why?
Grayson Moore
...
Jose Sanchez
Especially the one who is like Scum's golden bullet right now.
You treat Manaroo right, she is a classy lady.
Landon Howard
Just build a custom one.
Parker Wood
Are you just jonesing for an excuse to go on another 3d creation adventure?

I'm already on one and it it glorious.
William Parker
My players acquired a very nice, profitable cantina in Nar Shaddaa last session. I'm thinking I'll handle it as an Obligation for the whole group (thinking 10 or 15), but every week of ingame time they each get a cut of the profits. Thinking 1000 creds, which seems like a lot but this group make a lot of money on jobs so this won't severely affect their ability to access cool shit.
Anthony Sanders
Looks Ubrikkian
Ethan Fisher
When you're done with Wanda see what you can do with these.
Colton Barnes
Sorry I am new getting ready to play my first game of EoE. My gm is accusing me of powergameing before we even start and forbid me from playing a gadgeteer/outlaw tech. What is a super strong class combination that can wreck all game?
Luis Allen
>Are women verifiably on average and best to best "rubbish" compared to a male equivalent at any kind of combat? Yes. I had the privilege to serve with a couple of the assignees to TF in Afghanistan. These women were every bit the professional you'd expect. One of them got caught up in a firefight with us and snagged two confirmed kills for herself.
The other was a great fuck.
Honestly I don't know what else needs to be said.
Oh, except that both of them could fireman carry my 205 pound ass. With my PC and rifle. Good enough for government work.
Adam Perry
How do you store your X-wing upgrade cards?
What good methods exist besides binders?
I'm running out of space in my case, and want a non-binder way to hold them.
Daniel Clark
>GM is calling me out on power gaming before the session even starts >help me find a different way to powergame
"No"
Camden Perry
I have trouble believing Tarkin would use space-wikipedia. He seems like such an intellectual elitest that he would dismiss it's reliability and only trust the physical 333 volume Encyclopedia Galactica.
Jacob Wright
I think enough was said about all that last thread, user. Let's keep it on topic this time.
Cooper Rivera
Yes, but, why not field Tel Trevura and Manaroo with good upgrades? I get wanting to have fun, but there's wanting to have fun and fielding one random Star Viper.
Why not take two Star Vipers and Manaroo for top memery?
Evan Carter
Yes, she is.
Austin Gonzalez
>What is a super strong class combination that can wreck all game? Please go away.
Julian Roberts
That's why you treat her well. If you don't, Dengar will fuck you up
Jason Garcia
I'm a commodore. I have a Jedi Advisor. I have a leader for both the troops and the squad we'll carry and we're all kind of interested in doing some larger stuff.
Originally, I wanted an Assault Frigate mk II, but there's no rules for that. And then when I asked for something like a Victory or an MC80, the GM laughed at me and said that neither of those would probably happen.
(I think at some point the Victory might still happen, it'd be frickin' sweet).
Camden Cruz
If you're group's all cool with it then far be it from me, just seems larger scale than my tastes. Best of luck saving/enslaving the galaxy.
David Walker
Hopefully you can follow my thought on this one, the thing flies haft forward, blade down. Add the four fusial turbine chain bit to the top of the axe head at a 90 offset so they stick out like winglets from the aft. Place the white plastic bit onto the corkscrew and attach to the blade of the axe head. The disc is stuck through the haft of the axe at the same orientation as the fusial turbines. Giving it a rough look like a star trek federation ship.
The plastic C and corkscrew is an powerful planet scanning array for an orbital prospecting ship.
Engines are individually low powered but reliable as anything available in known space and together all four will make it move at a decent speed.
Engineering and the bridge as in the back of the axe head, science and geosurvey lab are in the blade wing under the ship. Cargo hold with basic ship to shore shuttles on either side of the disk space. Living spaces in the middle of the ship.
Basic hardmounted droid on the bridge can maintain or reposition the ship as needed while the crew follows up scans with ground recon.
No idea how it went from long haul survey ship to your groups hands but hey, maybe that scanner can be refitted to firr broad ion waves as a last ditch hail mary or screw you to waves of fighters.
Single nose mounted twin laser cannon is under powered for a ship of its size so maybe they should do something about that?
Camden Williams
Don't be pussies and please answer the question. The gm is my friend and I am just trying to get him back for bullying me.
Justin Cox
Ok, you want to power game?
Play a Diplomat Advocate with Analyst. You sit back and make knowledge checks and support social checks. Staying in career will ensure you get to signature abilities, which includes 'Diplomatic Solution.' This will allow you to spend 2 Destiny Points to resolve a encounter peacefully (depending on upgrades).
Your party will appreciate your ability to help them succeed and even Crit more often, provide tactical knowledge that translates into actual physical boots in all encounters, and being a acceptable face (but even better support face). Plus, the GM will like that you provide a means for him to provide more insightful story and setting information logically to the party. All without you needing to fire a shot.
Now, if this build or ones like it that don't relay on blasting every challenge to death does not suit your interests; or if you only want to play out of the Bounty Hunter tree despite the plethora of other options available...
Fuck off.
Because FFG is a fucking narrative game.
Andrew Powell
Well, funny you should mention that.
It's Age of Rebellion. And we're playing good guys. Rebels, I should say.
... ... ... I'm playing a character that whenever he introduces himself, he claims to be a HERO of the Clone Wars.
This is technically true. Technically true, his dress uniform has a chest of medals and campaign ribbons.
He just... was a commodore in the Confederacy of Independent Systems... As a member of the Commerce Guild and he bought his commission. But he killed a jedi! Via orbital bombardment!
Asher Myers
Kill yourself, if he's really your friend he'll be sad that he drove you to such ends. But he'll probably just be glad he doesn't have tolerate you anymore.
Jace Allen
Sounds fantastic.
William Ortiz
Oops
Colton Gray

Aiden Murphy
Kill yourself, it unlocks the Sith Inquisitor class.
Isaac Stewart
How about we help you be a good friend. Listen to his advice, don't be an asshole, and try to make the game fun for everyone.
Justin Williams
Maybe talk to him instead of trying ruin his game like a bitter child. You're the only one being a pussy here.
Absolutely top notch.
Jaxon Rogers
Well fuck you then I'll just brainstorm a cheesy combo on my own like I was planning to. No wonder you guys will never get laid.
Liam Bell
You're playing a Star Wars RPG, you're not getting laid.
Levi Carter
Play a Drall or Cerean Colonist Scholar, mix with Analyst from this guy's post:
If you truely just want to bug your GM, do it by having your character outsmart every move a antagonist makes. Because Knowledge rolls, if done as read in the Skills chapter of the Core books, can be potent if used.
But if your idea of bullying your "friend" GM who bullys you is to make a combat guy, keep in mind this:
He's the GM, he can magically insert a simple Proton Bomb drop from a merc, pirate, Imperial, or Rebel fighter to inflict anywhere above 40+ planetary damage over the area of a city block.
Wyatt Parker
I'm convinced the guy who posts this shit it just one guy constantly saying it over and over. You're a hardcore purist, we get it.
Noah Perry
What are some of the rules he's imposing, if you don't mind elaborating?
Brody Butler
>Ahsoka is already dead You very clearly see her on screen, alive.
Joshua Sanders
I'm thinking:
Gear as the body of a YT-style freighter, attached to the axe in the plane of the blade.
The c-clip can go at the end of the axe handle.
The hexagons are cargo containers. They replace the hammer-end of the axe.
The corkscrew arrangement... is just greebles, I think.
The idea is a YT-disc freighter with a big fuck-off laser cannon bolted to the side.
