White Star: Starship Options and Star Wars Ship Sampler


Piloting Maneuvers/Skill
When a character needs to make a fancy maneuver with their ship (such as flying between crushing asteroids) the character can roll under their Dex score (with modifiers from the Referee) to perform the maneuver.

Options: Pilots get a +3 bonus (plus Dex modifier if any) to the Piloting roll.

If using the Save as Skill system the modifiers above all apply.

Combat Options
Allow Pilots to add their Dex bonus (if any) to their ship/vehicle's AC.

Pilots receive an extra +1 to their ship/vehicles AC at level 3, 6, and 9. (This makes Pilot's really shine above other classes in starship/vehicle combat. It also rewards Pilots gaining levels in Pilot over multi-classing.)

Modifications Options
Star Wars ships, at least the primary heroes and villian's, are heavily modified. The Millenium Falcon and Slave-1 being prime examples. More so than what basic White Star allows. With this option any ship can be modified with any modification. Normal limits (such as Advanced Shielding limited to three) apply.
Costs remain the same.

Starships
Most classes of starships are similar in stats until they are modified. For simplicity a stock YT-1300 and another light freighter are mechanically the same until modifications are added in.

White Star does a good job of emulating the ships of Star Wars. Most categories of ships make excellent base templates. However..
I want varied stats for starfighters, not just the basic stats for stunt fighter in White Star.
I also believe a Star Destroyer is more of a beast than the Dreadnaught entry.

Here's my versions.
