Be specific. *wink*

 

[Ryan O'Connor]

Like a few beam types from Samus Aran's arsenal in a blaster rifle for example

 

[Sirella Valkner]

If you did something like that you'd have to frame it within in star wars with a few solid paragraphs explaining how it works within the star wars universe and with some development.

Can I have someone look at my armour? it's ready to go....

 

[Sirella Valkner]

Sorry that took so long Tegs. I honestly thought someone else had gotten to it.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Thanks, no probs.

 

[Ruye Etarn]

Just need a refresher, a Hero Unit is specifically for Major Factions, yes? I can make myself a personal Hero Unit? What makes a Hero Unit anyway? I've seen a lot of ships made under that title but not much else? I'm very curious in this subject, and as far as I can tell hasn't been concretely defined.

 

[Jaxton Ravos]

I may be completely wrong, but I thought a Hero Unit was just a modified version of something that already exists. Like say, a DL-44 Blaster Pistol. There are normal DL-44's, and then there's Han Solo's heavily modified DL-44. Han Solo's DL-44 would be a Hero Unit, where as the other DL-44's wouldn't be.

 

[Sirella Valkner]

A hero unit is exactly what it sounds like. If you're playing a game and you have units and you get Special Star Destroyer, or Special Unique Ship, or an infantry unit or a tank unit or an elite group of droids...anything above the norm it is a hero unit. Otherwise what you can and can't make as a hero unit follow all the same for rules for the rest of the factory.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

Hero things are usually unique, special snowflake items. Like the Millennium Falcon was a hero unit version of a YT-1300.

 

[Ruye Etarn]

Does that mean though, that I could possibly make a Hero Unit for myself? It isn't Faction limited?

 

[Ayden Cater]

Hero units are not, strictly speaking, limited to Major factions. However, standard limitations still exist. So a Minor faction couldn't belt out a Hero Star Destroyer, but nothing says a person can't have a Hero freighter they fly around in.

 

[Midnight Rapture]

Do I have to post a submission for my ship-- the Dusty Duck, renamed Knightfall ?

Thanks!

 

[Ashin Varanin]

Nope.

 

[Ayden Cater]

Though you might not be remiss drawing one up, since the Wookie page doesn't have much in the way of details for the ship.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

Can I make a species from a non-Star Wars game?

 

[Qae Shena]

The general answer is 'if it's from another franchise, no'.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

Alright, then, nope.

 

[Sirella Valkner]

Can I make a species from a non-Star Wars game?

As long as it isn't a blatant rip off and you don't use official art the answer is maybe. No guarantee, but maybe. Oh and frame it within star wars of course. It needs to look and feel like something from star wars.

 

[Jak Sandrow]

Well, I did want to use this, but, according to the rules, then, I can't.
