Made a custom LAAT stat card for my battle of geonosis recreation and would like some feedback on if it is balanced and fair? Like if the point cost of 100 is a fair price to pay for what it can do?

you're on a roll BZNintendo! 2 from 2, my only complaint?
when will the fringe and droids get some attention hehe.

it would be nice to see transport X, where X is the stats for an LAAT/i from the "Incredible Cross-Sections" technical schematics.
being able to move ~36 CT's and 4 speeder bikes to a position would be very nice for mass-battles hehe.

I think Relentless is an artifact anyhow -
rather than amend or errata the rulebook, to deal with the irregularity of the base of large or colossal vehicles...
they put relentless to prevent those irregularities. go figure -
they're happy for circles which do not entirely fill a square, but, for the large colossals, they can't handle that it might be partially through multiple squares...

when all they needed was consistency from the aiming LoS rules - granted, SWMinis doesn't discern 'height' very well, it's a 2D flatland really hehe it also doesn't model terrain destruction, except for in Tile Wars hehe.

when turning, choose a corner that corresponds to the direction of movement. so you move from that corner.
any square partially encompassed by the turning model counts as it for targeting, cover, etc.
the only time a colossal character gets cover, is when a solid wall line boundary obstructs 3 of the 4 corners used in determining LoS to target.
job done, this works quite well for vehicles and prevents what the?!'s

Staggered Activation allows a points-sink like a high-risk vehicle,
be an activation factor for 'out-activate' strategies. Ion weapons and other attacks can be brutal to vehicles in SWMinis,
so staggered activation offsets that somewhat.
instead of spinning an Uggie or Mousie, you move 2 steps forward and 3 steps back etc...

here's my take on LAARTi

maybe you'll see some thing you like for yours

Thanks for the feedback, really helped catch some mistakes I didn't realize.

For levitation I didn't really know what else to call it so I went with that but I like "In Flight" better so I will change it.

I am using a very large piece with a big base so I defiantly had to make it colossal size, Here is a picture of it: http://imgur.com/a/jzSkt (also that is why I made it so it can only transport 4 medium pieces is because that is how many fit in the ship, anymore and it would get too crowded.

The blown away ability was because of the middle pole connecting the ship to the base. Originally I wanted to make it so every time the ship moved, any character on its base or about to enter its base moves backwards from where the ship is moving (making it like the ship is moving over them as they stay in the same spot instead of moving with it unrealistically). But then the problem was that if any chacater was in the middle of the base it couldn't occupy the spaces where the pole is located so I had to scrap that idea and made blown away instead to solve this. As for taking damage from hitting a wall, I did not think of that but just to keep it simple I think I will keep it as is.

Not sure what you mean by being able to use missiles and turrets each turn? With staggered activation the ship will only be able to use each attack once per round so it isn't too overpowered with damage output. That is how I understand staggered activation, if I am mistaken then please let me know as I am still new and may be missing something?

And yes this one, just like my custom AT-TE is mostly basing off the AT-AT as I feel it is still a good base to start on since it is the only other official colossal miniature to take inspiration from.

For relentless I feel this is needed as it would be difficult to turn around a colossal piece like this one, plus in the movies like the Episode II during the Battle of Geonosis the ships moved forward only during the attack and we never see them turn around so I thought it would be simpler to keep it that way.

I completely agree Rigid should not be there, just wasn't giving much attention to that when making this. Taking that out now.

Yeah completely missed that Mass-Driver Cannon wording there as I used my first AT-TE stat card as the base for this one, forgot to edit that but now I did so thanks for pointing that out.

As for the price I think its fair as it is somewhat equally as good as my custom AT-TE (100 Points) which is based off the AT-AT (200 Points) but at half the power so equally the LAAT should be at the same half cost (100 Points). I feel with those crazy good attacks and decent HP and damage reduction, it is worth the 100 Points but then again I am still new and don't understand point costs all too well. If you could go into more detail as to why it is overpriced I would really appreciate it.

Thanks for all the feedback really helped.

so you hit you do 60, i understand now sorry about that! What you could do to represent it carring more than 4 chars is give it reinforcements (requiring order 66)

I should probably start a new thread with this question; How do You figure character costs? .... Actually, I think I will!
