Kuat Systems Engineering Venom Class Heavy Strike Fighter, a modernized version of the older CloakShape fighter optimized for both anti-capital ship strikes, and atmospheric attack against ground targets.

This is my first "custom" ship for X-Wing, thinking stats wise:

Shields 4
Hull Pts. 5
Agility 2

Weapons: 2 Hvy Laser Cannons, 1 Missile Rack, all forward arc. High Speed, poor maneuverability. Still looking at what upgrades are feasible. Any ideas and input welcome. Also are there any card/maneuver dial/ship token templates around?

BTW, model is a re-paint of a TRON fighter I picked up cheap a while back for 15mm SF, but it was a bit small for that role.

Looks good- I think it fits the Star Wars universe.

Agreed, nice repaint.

That looks great!

Do you know the manufacturer?

It looks to be a Diecast Tron toy.

There is a points formula some where on the inter-webs for your statting pleasure.

Here's one of the PV formulas in use. As is probably the case with FFG official ones, any of the player-engineered forumulas get you a starting ball park figure, and then play test to figure out final fudge factors. link

Thanks to everyone for the comments!

Gokiburi,

Yes, it is indeed the TRON diecast three-person fighter, found it on clearance at Target a while back, under $2 USD a pop, should have grabbed a few more, but saw limited use for it at the time. Looks great for SW, but did not fit the 15mm "hard" SF forces I am building.

miniMo,

Precisely what I was looking for, many thanks!
