My friend statted up the little fighter/shuttle thing, which is a decent ship of its own. I just have to transcribe his handwritten notes and then I'll post it here.

It's pretty cool in that it mounts on the exterior of the Ghost. That and it can "slot in" via either direction, and once nestled in it looks just like the rest of the ship (i.e., it's camouflaged to blend right in, so you can't tell where it is).

Cool, but do you mean these are the stats for the Phantom?

Yeah, I think this is for the Phantom (the smaller ship that docks with the Ghost). I'll amend my earlier entry.

These are fantastic! Can't wait to get a whole Sourcebook for Rebels.

The only thing that caught my eye was the Hull code - 5D and 4Dight be a little much, as a stock 1300 only has 4D. I haven't seen the show yet though, maybe she can really take a pounding? Still, I'd expect that to be a modification, and not the stock value.

Thoughts?

It is a newer model, by a couple of centuries, do I believe, some other stock frielghters have that much..... Surronian L19s come to mind there.......... this als a more expensive, model then the yt-1300 ymmv however. Thanks for reviwewing it Mojo-Man. Very Happy 8)

I have looked at at least the physical model that Disney is selling and what images from the show that I could find and it appears there are no additional turrets in the back. Just the two fire-linked forward facing ones and the much smaller top turret.

Is this ship intended to be pre or post YT-1300? If it is pre, the stats seem a little robust. It is equal to or better than the YT-1300 in almost all respects, so, based solely on stats, there is no reason for the YT-1300 to be the better, more popular ship as of the classic era.

But a ship's popularity wouldn't only be based on stats. This VCX-100 has a cost of 50,000 more credits, so the YT's lower cost would be a huge factor in its popularity.
