Alternate Universe ship

[Harleigh 30]

Is this the right forum to discuss alternate universe ideas?  Just for fun I am trying to make the rules for Serenity in X-wing and I am hoping for some feedback on the cards

If you dig there was a thread where someone did make cards for Serenity in xwing rules. It might give you a head start.

I think there was also a thread of ships from other universes you'd want in XWing. 

 

My picks were the SSV Normandy from Mass Effect and the Hearth of Gold from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

I am just using the Rebel Transport rules with a Serenity miniature. The scale is actually pretty close to X-Wing fighter scale and since Serenity is unarmed I think it is a good fit.

 

Here is the thread that Stellar was talking about

This guy was looking to make Serenity an effective 100 point ship in a faction by itself.

 

I myself would like to start a project to make stats for Robotech mecha and pilots using X-Wing rules, but that is a major project and so far I haven't found the time to lay the ground work needed to get started.

One of the guys in our play group has just done up 4 Veritech fighters to bring into play    

I also have a close to scale firefly and I use it as a transport atm, which really annoys Jackson, our resident "purest"

Then show him this wookieepedia page

I keep a print out of it in the box with my Firefly, just in case.

Incidentally, for those interested, this is the model of Serenity I am using.

It is just about the same length as the rebel transport mini for X-Wing, which makes it about the correct scale compared to the fighters in the game, and is actually a way higher quality toy than I was expecting from a product like this.

I went for the "Little **** heroes" version, which is a bit smaller than yours but has excellent detail.  Thank you for the link, some of those ideas are excellent!  I will post what I have come up with for pricing feedback later today.
