13 turbo-laser batteries!…….Have you come up with stats for this beast?……looks good….keep the updates coming

Looking good I can’t wait to see it finished.

According to Wookiepedia, the DP20 has 6 quad barrel cannons, 8 double barrel cannons, and 4 concussion missile launchers with 30 missiles each.  

I thought about pilot skill 2 for movement

6 Quad barrels shoot at skill 5.  They get 3d each. 

8 Double barrels shoot at skill 3.  They get 2d each.  

Not sure how many concussion missiles each round, I initially thought 2, but 4 would be epic.  

Hull 30

Shields 20

6 target locks ?

1 agility, because the ship is in motion.  

200 points.  

This ship is supposed to be a star fighter's worst nightmare, but I don't want it to be undefeatable.  

Once the shields are destroyed, I would like the starfighters to be able to target specific regions of the ship if they so wish.  

What do you guys think of these stats?  

Thanks.

I ran across this sight some time ago and thought it had some good ideas. http://www.wwpd.net/2012/10/x-wing-last-transport-is-away.html

I'd like to recommend that the gunship (and cap ships in general) move in their own round before fighter movement is selected.  That should give the Cap ships a sutible lumbering feel and not have them always stuck on fighters.  In fact, Fighters should probably be displaced if they are overlapped by a capital ship.

Given the relative speeds, would capital ships even move in a game situation? In the movies, the fighters zip around the big ships like they're standing still. And given that even a small capital chip like the Gunship is going to take up a big chunk of the play area, not moving might be a better option. There is a scenario I found a couple weeks ago that involved an Imperial corvette. Instead of moving, each turret was treated as a non-mobile ship. I though that was a clever wa of handling it.

I am working on converting the X-Wing Computer game missions into multiplayer scenarios, and the first one, Destroy the Imperial Convoy includes 5 BFF-1 Bulk Freighter and a  CR90 The Bixby.  I was thinking of having the Bulk Freighters remain stationary, each with a countdown timer one them, which would be how many rounds until they jumped out of system.  I have been thinking for the CR90 that is has a 1 bank left and right, and a 1 forward.  Perhaps even a 2 forward red, perhaps only every other turn.  Piloting skill of course would be 0.

A short video made by a fan.  3 gunships vs. an interdictor cruiser.

I'm hearing some great ideas here.  

Finally assembled the fuselage to the powerhouse.  I filled in the gaps with putty and smoother it out.

I painted it and cut some lines across the hull to simulate panels.  

The bridge

I found an engraving kit and took it to task.  

The missile launchers are mounted.  

Next steps: nose art, build gun turrets.

Look awesome!  Great work.

I'm very much enjoying seeing this project coming along.  it's great!  and feel free to make me one when you're done…

Thanks for the compliments!  Glad to see other nerds think this is cool. Anyhow, with the blizard today I did some painting and a wash.

Next step: arm the beast, make a base.

Wow, base???, how big it will be, you have a great project, congratulations, greettings.

Kaxel,

I would like the base to be the approximate size/shape of the ship.  I already have a hole drilled on the bottom of the craft.  I would like the base to be at least as tall as FFG ships.  

Thanks for looking!
