I think you could drop some of the abiltities like sniper because, although it make sense to have them, if you have an accurate larty it's an auto win...I made the mistake of making an accurate one it is was ubplayable...try to design it like an AT-AT with the whole staggered activation thing, perhaps....and I'd also make a new ability such as advanced flight, in which it never counts as adjecent or in range or CE because, after all, it is flying...

For the minis it's self, one of the links at the-holocron.com has a 3D paper gunship big enough to hold 4 troops, and it's pretty easy to assemble...and whatever company has the model rights for Star Wars is s'possed to be doing a gunship that's too scale...only issue with that is the doors are closed...

If you need any more help I'd be more than glad to donate my time ^_^

Here are the stats for my Gunship.

It's accurate, but it's too powerful to be playable...

Republic Gunship, Lucky Lekku

Cost 250

HP 300

AT --

DM --

Collosal

Advanced Flight (ignores all terrain, inlcuding pits; Never counts as adjecent or within 6 square range)

Mounted Weapon

Speed 10

Accelerate 30

Order 66

Anti-Armor (damage from the this unit cannot be prevented in any form, ignores all abilities that reduce, redirect, or prevent damage)

Bombardment (Attacks cannot be prevented)

Transport (carry up to 10 Medium and 1 large ally; passengers can attack as usual, but cannot use replaces attacks abilities or move. Allies can disembark and board when the this unit has landed. If this unit is destroyed those onboard are also defeated, save 11; if successful place on a closest square on the ground, taking 20 damage. Passengers can be targeted, but receive cover +6)

Cluster Missiles 40 (sight; target and all characters with 3 squares of target take 40 damage. Characters with mounted weapon are defeated, save 11)

Laser Cannon 20 (Make 6 attacks; 2 attacks on the front arc and 2 each on the sides; sight, 10 attack, 20 damage, splash 20)

Composite Armor (negates all damage, save 11; on a success, damage is instead reduced by half, rounded down)

Anti-personal turret (Rear arc; sight, 12 attack, 20 damage)

Multiple Pilots (can use all of its weapons systems once ber activation)

Deployment (instead of taking it's normal turn, this character can deploy any number of its passengers at the beginning of the round, or troops can embark at the end of the round. At this time it is considered "on the ground" and can be adjecent. It can land in a pit, but can't deploy into one. I cannot move until next round)

Emergency Rapelling line (passengers can deploy without using deployment. they can deploy into any square below the gunship, save 6 for 10 damage. Characters with Wall Climber ignore the damaging effect)

Vital Weakness (if this character rolls a 1 for a save against enemy missiles make an additional save of 16; on a failure this character is automatically defeated)

Me, I think any kinda saves should be high. 16 instead of 11.

CC, yours seems way too powerful. Just my opinion bud. With the LAAT I would think Blawkhawk helicopter. 300 hp seems way too high. You have some really good stuff in yours. I would take half of it out though.

Darth_Sal, your stat's in my opinion are much more balanced. Though I would make the save 16 instead of 11. I like where your going with yours, look's good. Maybe make the damage with the save 20 instead of 10. Just my thoughts.

Jak,

"I like the idea of it not receiving CEs, and multiple pilots.
I'm not worried about the high cost, it would only be used in high point games

I'm trying to keep the SA used for this to be ones already in use in the game, rather than
making up new ones."

Completely agree with you there.

This is a great start.

I would have.
flight, speed 16, affinity(republic, empire) damage reduction 10, fire support mission, troop cart(with 2x capacity), double attack, greater mobile

EMP missle 20-save 16 for activation for all size figures
composite beam laser-30 dmg,

HP-? lower than 200, higher than 150
DF-? mid to high teen's
AT-? not sure
DM-? 20 to 30

I do have different versions, but I posted the stats of the balanced ones...HP and defense on vehicles is always difficult, imo, because they vary sooooo much...I mean, you have the gunship taking like 50 bullets from the geonosian fighters in AOTC, but then in the hand drawn Clone Wars they get taken out invariably by a single missile...so I kinda went off of a helicopter where they can take punishment, but a lucky shot from a pistol will take it down. Maybe I should expand the vital weakness to include a 20 from a basic attack...and maybe I could do squelch's ideas of raising the saves...one of the scenes I based it off is when Fordo rescued the Jedi from Grevious on Hypori...it took out a LOT of hardware, and it's the equivalent of like 30 supers, so that makes sense to me...

about it being vulnerable to a "lucky shot",
if an opponent crits it the damage could be x3 or x4.
If the LAAT fails a missile or grenade save with a 1 the dmg on those could be x3 or x4

maybe the CE used to limit it's ability to receive CE, could be like moff tarkins,
(you can activate up to 3 figures)

That "lucky shot" sounds cool. I like that.

How exactly would that CE work? Not sure I'm getting it.

Or you could just add an ability like Droid where it is immune:

Vehicle: this unit is immune to commander effects; this character counts as having mounted weapon for the purpose of special abilities

Make it cost adjuster like -2 or -5 depending on how high you cost it.

I still don't think it should have regular flight.

I don't think a snowspeeder should, either, but I don't control that...the current flight is based off of the unit flying when moving and then always landing...which makes...NO sense at all

maybe a SA called hover- this character is never considered adjacent to enemy figures

That sounds cool.
