SWRPG Starter Ship Decision
Ultimately Decided On:
Kestrel. A bit munchkiny, but basically a slightly better/different version of the common HWK
Lancer
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Lancer-class_Pursuit_Craft
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Lancer-class_pursuit_craft?so=search
Hyperdrive: Primary: Class 2, Backup: Class 12.
Navicomputer: Yes.
Sensor Range: Short.
Ship’s Complement: 1 Pilot, 1 Co-Pilot.
Encumbrance Capacity: 60
Passenger Capacity: 4
Well armed, and fast in a straight line. Hardly any storage space. Basically the equivalent of what 6-7 “people” could carry.
Wayfarer
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Wayfarer-class_Medium_Freighter
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Wayfarer-class_medium_transport?so=search
Hyperdrive: Primary: Class 2, Backup: Class 14.
Navicomputer: Yes.
Sensor Range: Short.
Ship’s Complement: 1 Pilot, 1 Co-Pilot, 1 Engineer, 1 Cargo Master, 6 Crew.
Encumbrance: 850
Passenger Capacity: 6 More room. Tougher, slower, ALL the space tho (which could contain loot?).
HWK-290
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/HWK-290_Light_Freighter
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/HWK-290_light_freighter?so=search
Hyperdrive: Primary: Class 2, Backup: None.
Navicomputer: Yes
Sensor Range: Short.
Ship’s Complement: 1 Pilot, 1 Co-Pilot.
Encumbrance: 75
Passenger Capacity: 2
Smallest ship on the list, faster, more manoeuvrable, much harder to detect, and much harder to hit once detected. Good jack of all trades that’s functionally the size of a starfighter.
Starlight
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Starlight-class_Light_Freighter
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Starlight-class_light_freighter
Hyperdrive: Primary: Class 2, Backup: Class 15.
Navicomputer: Yes.
Sensor Range: Short.
Ship’s Complement: 1 Pilot, 1 Co-Pilot/Navigator.
Encumbrance Capacity: 85
Passenger Capacity: 6
Bigger, less zippy, slightly tougher version of the HWK with a smidge more room for storage/passengers. Also pretty.
Kazellis
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/Kazellis-Class_Light_Freighter
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kazellis-class_light_freighter

Navicomputer: Yes.
Sensor Range: Medium.
Ship’s Complement: 1 Pilot, 1 Co-pilot

pretty, bit more storage, better sensors
Short Hauler
https://star-wars-rpg-ffg.fandom.com/wiki/GX1_Short_Hauler
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/GX1_short_hauler
Hyperdrive: Primary: Class 2, Backup: Class 12.

Sensor Range: Short.
Ship’s Complement: 1 Pilot, 1 Co-Pilot/Engineer, 2 Stewards/Cargo Hands.

Trading speed and handling for basically double the haulage space and the ability to get shot a bit more before stuff starts breaking.
