White Star Gun Ship?

[animus]

I've heard the new Whitestar Carrier is a monster - well worth the War designation. How's the Gunship?

It's lacking. If given the choice I would take 2 WS2's instead.

I agree - it's simply not able to pull its weight; and that's not including the benefits of having an extra ship.

 

[LordClammy]

it pretty much sucks. it needs some more damage and crew.

 

[Gargoyle117]

Yeah, I wouldn't use one if it was the last ship in the fleet. The Carrier is a far superior gunship.

 

[Triggy]

Unfortunately true

30 Crew and it would be OK, unfortunately it has half of that...

 

[LordClammy]

I would pump up the damage and crew as well as give it some more pulsars. as it stands now I think it has the same amount as the WS2.

 

[thehod]

You get more bang for your buck with 2 WS-2s and a better dodge ontop of it.

 

[LordClammy]

yeah, for now. hopefully it gets a major overhaul for 2nd ed.

 

[Gargoyle117]

I don't think it's getting bosted at all. It sounds like it is going down to Battle level and the WSC-2 is going to be a Raid level WS variant.

I'm just afraid that it will get a power decrease on the way down to Battle, which is unfortunate, because I like the WSC-2 and would rather not see it replaced by a powered down version of the gunship. The ISA hardly has enough higher priority choices as it is.

...The ISA hardly has enough higher priority choices as it is.

Are you serious? All they have (at the moment at least) is high priority ships. Other then the Vorlons & Shadows (and to a minor degree Minbari) they are the worst for skirmish & Patrol level games. I personally would take nearly any Skirmish level choice over a White Star Fighter any day of the week.

 

[Calistan]

Personally, I find the gunship to be ugly and I would not want one for my fleet. I hope they also redesign it into something worth purchasing.

 

[animus]

I think we'll see Bluestars coming in at Skirmish for 2e.

I think the Gunship should be reworked so it works. I'm worried about the WS2 moving down a PL - what about the current WS?

 

[katadder]

WS/WS2 are variants of the sameship and will both be raid level.

 

[animus]

Tell me the WS gets another beam dice - I never hit with it as is.

The WS gets another beam dice.







I'm lying, of course

:evil: CRUEL

 

[Triggy]

The ISA are in discussions at the moment so other than telling you broad ideas, the details (like numbers of AD) are not yet set.

 

[lastbesthope]

The 2E stats I saw a while back had a BlueStar for the ISA.

[katadder]

think matt has already mentioned a bluestar for ISA in his update on 2e anyway.
