  Fighter Customisation.
December 27, 2011 7:31:12 PM    View the profile of Hades 
Just a query; what are the rules on fighter customisation? I assume adding extra firepower, better engines, etc. would be prohibited, (please correct me if I'm wrong) but what of paint schemes and such? I ask this in regards both to the fighter that each pilot is assigned to in a squadron and fighter/s that may have been purchased beforehand.

Also, a question that really should have been asked before the above, are we allowed to fly our own, personally purchased starfighter in the service of the VE? If so, are there guidelines or such in regards to that?

as to your VE issue fighter, you can paint a name on her hull and kill marks...otherwise, you can paint it any color you want...as long as it's gray.

now, on personal fighters, ships and doo-dads, feel free to customize as you see fight.

Well, I was thinking a lovely pink... but grey's fine

Alright. Kill marks - what sort of marks?

like WWII fighters put swastikas or rising sun flags on the side of their fighters, you can put NR emblems or other insignias of dogfight kills you've logged.

The Star Wars tradition for kill marks, due to the large variety of targets, is a black silhouette of whatever you killed. Partial silhouettes represent partial credit for large kills, such as capital ships. In some cases  of extraordinary kill numbers, such as with Wedge Antilles, a second color is sometimes used to indicate a squadron of starfighters using just one silhouette.

To answer your second question: only VE-issue ships are allowed for official missions. You may use your personal craft in CD stories.

Very rarely, a member of the NHC may authorize temporary use of a personal fighter during a mission. The only instance of that I can think of in the last year was at the beginning of High Stakes at Belgaroth when I ordered the SCAPs back to their ships by any means necessary.

If you can present us with a proposal that's so reasonable it'll hold air against vacuum, there's also a small chance of using a personal fighter in an ancillary.

Note that personal weapons, droids, and other such minor belongings may be mentioned in missions to add depth.
