signoftheserpent 92 Posted January 13, 2015 What, I'd anything, will this book contain that's also in Stay on Target? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maelora 5,799 Posted January 13, 2015 It will probably have it's own ships, modifications and the like. Bear in mind that piloting is only one of six specialisations for the Smuggler, whereas it's pretty much the main thing for an Ace. We already know the Specs will be Charmer, Gambler, and Gunslinger, none of which focus on ships, so I'm expecting little overlap. 9 mouthymerc, Sturn, Doc, the Weasel and 6 others reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
progressions 2,180 Posted January 13, 2015 (edited) Probably not much, there doesn't seem to be overlap in species or talents or specializations, from what we've seen in the previews so far.

kaosoe 7,405 Posted January 13, 2015 No one can really say at this point. Judging by the three new smuggler specs announced, I would say there will not be much overlap between the two. 2 LibrariaNPC and Jaspor reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maelora 5,799 Posted January 13, 2015 We don't know the Species yet. Can we assume Gotal and Falleen from the art? 2 Lotr_Nerd and GM Hooly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zathras23 936 Posted January 13, 2015 Don't know if they're in the game yet but how about Devaronians (sp?). Everywhere I've seen them they seem to be Smugglers and the like. 1 GM Hooly reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maelora 5,799 Posted January 13, 2015 I would love that, but I very much doubt they'd put two 'pretty' species in one book! 1 Jamwes reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rowdyoctopus 1,409 Posted January 13, 2015 I'm hoping for some more detailed rules on how encumberance works on the ship scale vs. personal scale. As is, its wonky at first blush. They did say in the announcement article that there will be new ship upgrades and the like, so I would assume this book would detail plenty of things about the space travel part of smuggling, on top of anything pertaining to thieves, gamblers, and gunslingers. Stay on Target seems to focus more on the fighter pilot type stuff. I would assume Fly Casual would have similar types of information, but regarding smugglers. Hyperspace routes, ship cargo, ship attachments and modifications, perhaps a little bit about trading regulations and the like. 2 Braendig and Dark Bunny Lord reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You forget this is Star Wars, all members of a species act like the most prominent one. Rodians are a bounty-hunting culture, all Hutts are gangsters, all Corellians are cocky flyboys with a heart of gold. The actual corollary is: The first story significant member of a species/culture represents the primary normality of the culture. Subsequent members may be acting "against type". 2 Col.

Maelora 5,799 Posted January 14, 2015 Pretty sure FFG will have several different 'sub-species' as they did with aqualish, which seems to be what happens every time someone screws up what a race is supposed to look like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dougansf 130 Posted January 14, 2015 I'm hoping Fly Casual comes with some more attachments for Ranged Light weapons for the Gunslinger. There are precious few of them, and most of them have annoying disads for little gain. I'm curious to see if there is a new weapon that compares to the Dragoon in Stay on Target. Expansion creep is a thing. Detail into how to make smuggling/trading more narratively interesting would be good too. 2 miishelle and kaosoe reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Maelora 5,799 Posted January 14, 2015 Thus far, they've been remarkably good about 'power creep'. The splatbooks haven't been - for the most part - filled with 'Blasters +1'. I'm really looking forward to the stuff on smuggling rings and running a smuggler operation - our main EoE group is a freelancer smuggling consortium. Thus far I've been using the business rules in Far Horizons, but I'd like to see the underworld version. 4 Sturn, bradknowles, Desslok and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that a reference to putin, George Bush the younger president, Venezuela had a crazy leader until he died and the country went downhill after that, or someone else... it almost seems that anyone who is crazy enough to want to be a leader is unqualified so we have no choice but to elect the crazies Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starco 16 Posted January 15, 2015 I'm half hoping Mirialans will be one of the species in Fly Casual because they seem cool in a smuggler guise. Maybe the 'Fancy Paintjob' talent will cross over from Stay on Target into the Charmer tree? Both those overlaps don't seem necessary though. I don't think they'll have the same ship modifications as in Stay on Target, but possibly something that allows multiple transponder codes? Or engine 'baffles' (or something similarly stealthy sounding as a feature) to upgrade checks to detect a smuggling ship? Am very interested to get ideas on how to set up smuggler adventures, and scoundrel-y mischief too. I'm excited for the YT-2000, and keeping my fingers crossed for the Baudo yacht.
