Create a non-unique mount/vehicle that does not do anything until someone gets on it (this will require a special ability of your making). The only other requirement is the piece has to have the SA "Mount" or "Vehicle" on it so the character can get off of it.

In essence: a piece can do something to get on the piece designed, move around while on it, do whatever it can do, and than get off the piece as well.

1. The character must be canon (Legends OK) and from the chosen faction when required. They can have affinity, but the character must start in the chosen faction.

2. You may update any existing versions you already have and/or create a new one. You may update/create several versions of the character but you must ultimately select 1 you wish to run with. (this must be done by the schedule below)

3. Place a hyperlink in this forum to make it easier to find your character. You can just post the stats or image here but if changes are needed it would be easier (and save space) if you just used a Hyperlink (If you don't know how to post Hyperlinks in a forum setting please ask and we will help you. It's not hard )

4. Voting works as follows, pick your three favorite customs based on accuracy to the character, design, balance or whatever you decide makes the best incarnation of the challenge character. First place receives 3 points, 2nd place receives 2 points, and 3rd place receives 1 point.

5. You do not have to enter the contest in order to vote. But unless you enter you must have at lest 10 forum posts.

6. To make things fair you must vote in order to win the contest. You must choose three characters entered in the contest and you may not rate or vote for your own character.

7. The winner will be decided by how many points they receive. Ties will be broken by most 1st place votes, then if still tied, 2nd place votes and then 3rd place votes. If still tied, then the outcome is a tie.

8. You may not change or update the entered character AFTER the deadline.



You will have until Sat, July 218th, 2018 @8pm EST to get your submissions in. Anything submitted after this point will not be included in the voting.


Voting will start at 8pm on Saturday evening and end at 11pm EST on Monday, July 30th, 2018.

At the conclusion of the voting the scores will be tallied and the winner will start a new topic with their choice of theme.

Gentlemen, start you engines.

The swoop bike. I ultimately feel the mechanics work, but heavy handed. A single, smoother designed special ability may be better than trying to stack all the existing SA's on the card to replicate the un-piloted machine.

Here is my final entry. I wanted to play with mount a bit more, and I hope you will accept the Mount substitute of Enclosed Mount. I like the idea of this helping to bring a strong character into the fight, or giving a moderately strong character some survivability, or even placing a normally weak commander inside.

Shamelessly borrowing from Shmi to boost the character with a Pilot... imitation is the greatest form of flattery, right? ;)

Adam, points for simplicity and effectiveness, very Dash Rendar Shadows of the Empire feel to it haha.

Shmi, still feels like a lot going on here and probably could have combined a couple abilities. But skilled Rider is a great idea to boost up pilots thematically.

Jen, awesome minds think alike haha. Only issue is not being able to activate at all unless someone is mounted. I wonder if it should be worded differently to mesh with rules, but that's a Swine thing to consider. Otherwise solid and needed piece.

Oakel, mechwarrior suit! Awesome! Also extra points for going a different route than all of our speeder bikes. Still think you should drop machinery as it's currently redundant with mounted weapon. But good job!


3rd Jen
2nd Adam
1st Oakel

I believe Oakel and I tied.

I defer to Oakel to post the next one.

I know I was the CCC designer, but I really do think that "idea" could benefit some factions with a movement breaker that is unique. The Vong need it.

Thanks guys! Working on an idea. I'll post up shortly.

In all fairness, I think the tie would go to Jen, as he got more first place votes than I did. :)
