May I introduce the TIE Hunter Expansion! These nimble and heavily armed craft were fielded by the elite Imperial Storm Commandos, designed to counter the Rebel Alliance X-Wings. Okay, I had specific reasons for choosing the stats the way they are.2 Attack: they have the same lasers of standard TIE Fighters, no more, no less.4 Evade: these things have the most difficult profiles to hit of any TIE out there.

From the top they're pretty much just a thick bar, and from the side they're pretty cylindrical.3 Hull: why ruin a good thing? I can see 2 hull, but that implies they're more fragile than a standard TIE or Interceptor and that's really not the case.1 Shield: they have shields, but they aren't that good. This is mostly for balance purposes, and makes the shields on the TIE Advanced a little more significant.They have two torpedo slots because they have 2 launchers at 6 torpedoes each in Rebel Strike, which is actually MORE than a B-Wing, a craft which is armed with the capacity for 2 torpedoes in this game. They also have two forward facing ion cannons, which is why I gave them the cannon slot.I was thinking for the cards included with the Hunter would be an Advanced Proton Torpedo, Ion Cannon, Adrenaline Rush, and perhaps even 1 or 2 Seeker Torpedoes, just for something interesting! Agreed, all of the things mentioned above make these seem way under costed.

Rolling 5 with a stealth device, and up to 7 through an asteroid at range three is super tough. If you're going to play one with the pilot abilities you suggested I would probably guess about 45-55 points before upgradesyep seeing as it is SO much more survivable that a X1 and probably has a better dial, it definitely should not be 22pt for a PS 2, when a PS2 X1 Advanced is 21pts.

A better stat list would be:A: 3E: 3H: 2S: 1Action Bar: Focus, Evade, Target LockUpgrade bar: TorpedoOkay but they are very costly, have little firepower without torps and they also have no evade action, so it might be okay!

Imperial Civil War Tech Support. Lucrehulk ship question. Isard lusyanka versus 40 storm commando escort carriers = 80 squads of Tie Hunters 12 starships each= 960 individual fighters. Surprisingly the carriers won and the carrier armada was promptly snuffed out of existence by a few lancers frigates a turn later. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. The list of aircraft carriers contains all aircraft carriers listed alphabetically by name. Those listed in Bold are currently in active service. For listings by other methods, see: List of aircraft carriers by country; List of aircraft carriers by configuration. The Imperial escort carrier was a type of capital ship used exclusively by the Galactic Empire's storm commandos. The Storm commandos' Imperial escort carrier was different from the standard escort carrier of the Imperial Navy. It was a nimble, narrow-hulled ship, with a flared arrowhead bow.

They also have one less total hp than an X1. They cost as much as a B-Wing! They will be difficult to hit but offensively they are Tie Fighters just with double the cost.With a stealth device though they might be a little nasty it seems though. Just make it unavailable to them. You could say there is no room to intall modifications, or they have a permanent device already installed.

Edited November 17, 2013 by ForceM. Seems that there's a lot of opposition over the 4 evade dice, and I can't say I didn't expect it.Alright, how about we drop 1 hull point and 1 evade die we give it a new quality that I call Elusive. It's a active benefit that gives it an Elusive Token, basically an Evade Token, if the pilot is not stressed at the beginning of the Combat Phase. Elusive tokens HAVE to be spent after the results of a first attack against the ship is declared, and is then lost.

Unused tokens are withdrawn at the end of the round. If this is too powerful a benefit I'll instead make it an upgrade card, but we'll drop the cost of the Hunter by a couple of points each.I dunno, what do you all think? I wanted to basically bring something new to the table in terms of gameplay while also making a TIE that was balanced and fun. So we'll keep the point values the same, but bring the Hull and Evade values down by 1 each while giving it the Elusive quality.

So we'll keep the point values the same, but bring the Hull and Evade values down by 1 each while giving it the Elusive quality.I have no problem with Elusive as a concept, however no ship yet has a special rule, special rules are really for pilots only. That was why I suggested a DEFENSIVE MANEUVERS action instead.

We have seen new Actions introduced like boost and it keeps it off the Ship Card. My suggestion was an action that gave you the +1 agility. The advantage of this is there are many ways in the game to stop this and bring it back down to a normal level.

Blocking the ship, the ship becomes vulnerable after a red maneuver as it can't take an action, anything that gives it stress. + it stops the ship using an offensive action.

Edited November 17, 2013 by Rodent Mastermind. What about an action which gives an extra evade dice till the end of the turn. That could be added to a ships bar. I think that might be an option for some ships like this, and wouldn't be a special rule just an Action on the Action bar. It would take you above 3 but is counterable by causing collisions, and wouldn't be able to be activated after a red maneuver.That should have been what the evade action does, instead of just automatically evading a hit, give the ship one more green die this turn.

It is really just designed to be level 2 Evade. For ships that evade better than level 1 Evade. Edited November 17, 2013 by Rodent Mastermind.

I dunno, what do you all think? I wanted to basically bring something new to the table in terms of gameplay while also making a TIE that was balanced and fun.With respect, I think there is entirely too much of this going on. Realistically, there would not be a lot of difference between fighters that are fulfilling similar roles.That said, I don't have a problem with what you've posted. But I'm not the one you have to please.Duly noted, but I don't see why having a variety is a problem.I actually like the idea of adding an Evade Die as an action! We'll change Elusive to an Action instead. I dunno, what do you all think?

them nicking all the good names as I do really like Elusive as a name for it.You don't know how many times we have named abilities only to have playtesters point out the name already exists. Edited November 17, 2013 by Rodent Mastermind.

Just as the IJA in general was modeled mainly on the German Army, the IJAAS initially developed along similar lines to the; its primary mission was to provide tactical for ground forces, as well as a limited capability.

The IJAAS also provided to other branches of the IJA.

In 1910, the society sent and to France and Germany, respectively, to receive pilot training and purchase aircraft. Japan purchased its first aircraft, a and a, which had been brought back by the officers from Western Europe.

On December 19 1910, Captain Yoshitoshi Tokugawa in a conducted the first successful powered flight on Japanese soil at in Tokyo. The following year in 1911, several more aircraft were imported and an improved version of the Farman III biplane, the, was built and flown in Japan by Captain Togugawa. In 1914, with the outbreak of war, the Japanese laid siege to the German, aircraft from the army together with conducted reconnaissance and bombing operations. The Provisional Air Corps consisting of four and a single flew 86 sorties between them. In December 1915, a air battalion was created under the Army Transport Command, which became responsible for all air operations.

However, serious interest in military aviation did not develop until after. Japanese military observers in were quick to spot the advantages of the new technology, and after the end of the war, Japan purchased large numbers of surplus military aircraft, including, and.Interwar Years. Siberian interventionIn 1918, a was invited to Japan to help develop aviation. The mission was headed by and composed of 63 members to establish the fundamentals of the Japanese aviation, the mission also brought several aircraft including, two, as well as dirigables. Japanese army aviation was organized into a separate within the in 1919, and aircraft were being used in combat roles during the 1920 against the near.

Similarly, started producing aircraft under license from in 1921, and started producing the bomber from France, and hired German engineers such as Dr. To produce original designs such as the bomber. Kawasaki also produced aircraft engines under license from.

In May 1925, the Imperial Japanese Army Air Corps was established under the command of Lieutenant General, it was regarded as a branch equal to the artillery, cavalry or infantry, and contained 3,700 personnel with about 500 aircraft.By the end of the 1920s, Japan was producing its own designs to meet the needs of the Army, and by 1935 had a large inventory of indigenous aircraft designs that were technically sophisticated.By 1941, the Japanese Army Air Force had about 1,500 combat aircraft. During the first years of the war, Japan continued technical development and deployment of increasingly advanced aircraft and enjoyed over most battlefields due to the combat experience of its crews and the handling qualities of its aircraft.However, as the war continued, Japan found that its production could not match that of the Allies. On top of these production problems, Japan faced continuous combat and thus continued losses. Furthermore, there were continual production disruptions brought on by moving factories from location to location, each transfer with the goal of avoiding the Allied strategic bombing. Between these factors and others, such as the restricted strategic materials, the Japanese found themselves materialistically outmatched.In terms of manpower, Japan was even worse off.

Experienced crews were killed and replacements had not been planned. The Japanese had lost skilled trainers, and they did not have the fuel or the time to use the trainers they did have. Because of this, towards the end of its existence the JAAF resorted to attacks against overwhelmingly superior Allied forces.Imperial Japanese MilitaryAdministration.(Dai Nippon Teikoku Rikugun).(Dai Nippon Teikoku Kaigun).Rank insignia.History.
