Affiliation: Personal
Manufacturer:The Coyo’s parts were made by Sienar-Jaemus Fleet Systems. Initial assembly was done by Darth Pugn, with internal components largely refitted by her descendant Junker Pugn.
Model: ”Coyo” TIE Fight’ceptor
Modularity: Junker Pugn may attempt to repair or upgrade the Coyo with found TIE starfighter components but inherent mismatches means the ship’s key performance statistics will not improve.
Production: The Coyo is, thankfully, Unique
Material: The Coyo is made of TIE fighter-grade titanium.
Classification: The Coyo is a Starfighter ”Ugly”.
Length: 9.2 metres
Width: 6.2 metres (scaled to image using height estimated below)
Height: 4.6 metres (6.69 metres x cos(30°) hexagon x cos(38°) sloped)
Armament: The Coyo has 6 /20 rated armaments (medium-light) from a TIE/sf space superiority fighter. An extra laser cannon from a second TIE/sf can be found on its second eyeball.
Squadron Count: Not applicable. A squadron of Coyos would probably “dodge” into each other.
Special Features:

• 2 Life supporthttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Life_support systems (one per cockpit).
• 300 kg cargo space (150 kg per eyeball).
• 1 Sensor decoy.http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Sensor_decoy.
• 1 Courier Communications Scannerhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Courier_Communications_Scanner.
• A landing leg that folds up.
• 1 bulkheadhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bulkhead between the cockpits with Automatic sealup and ejector seats (these can eject the passenger and move the pilot to the other cockpit prior to sealup if necessary to keep the pilot operational).

Components from two TIE/sf space superiority fightershttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE/sf_space_superiority_fighter:

• Only three fixed L-s9.6 laser cannonshttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/L-s9.6_laser_cannon (two on one eyeball, one on the other).
• Only one turret with a single Lb-14 heavy laser. The second heavy laser normally found in these turrets would have dragged along the docking bay floor.
• Only one Missile/warhead launcher: ST7 concussion missiles; mag-pulse warheads (2 of eachhttp://s965.photobucket.com/user/FormingInTheMists/media/Armament1-1.png.html)
• Two independent shieldshttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Deflector_shield.
• 2 Hyperdrives equipped.
• 4 ion reactors with pre-charged deuterium power cellshttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Power_cell.
• 2 redundant multipurpose pilot/gunner seats (one in each cockpit). The rear/gunner seats normally found in a TIE/sf are taken up by the life support systems and cargo space.
• 2 enhanced sensor systems (both cockpits) each with:1 Aural sensorhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Aural_sensor.
• 1 Dedicated Energy Receptorhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dedicated_energy_receptor (DER).
• 1 Electro photo receptorhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Electro_photo_receptor.
• 1 Hyperwave signal interceptorhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Hyperwave_signal_interceptor.
• 1 Advanced targeting computerhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Advanced_targeting_computer.
• 1 Subspace transceiverhttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Subspace_transceiver with a range of 25 light years.

[*]2 redundant Ion-flux cooling systems.
[*]2 redundant autopilothttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Autopilot systems.
[*]2 redundant Distress signalshttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Distress_signal/Legends (one per cockpit).
[*]2 Solar panelshttp://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Solar_panel.
Maneuverability Rating: 2 /20 The Coyo dodges better than a TIE fighter due to its erratic movements and TIE Interceptor parentage, but it is not suited to trench runs where the “extra dodge” is fatal.
Speed Rating: 5 /20 The Coyo is fast-ish, it is a starfighter, but better at dodging than outrunning.
Hyperdrive Class: 4.0 /20 The Coyo gets adequate performance from one of its hyperdrives. The redundant back-up hyperdrive is in worse condition, performance is only 2.0.

Strengths:

• Coyo has unhinged dodging ability, although it is less suited to flying in straight lines.
• Coyo has some redundant systems (engines, cockpit and shields).

Weaknesses:

• Poor reliability.
• Middling sub-light and hyper speed.
• Lacklustre firepower.
• Horrific aesthetics.
• Smells like a Jawa inside.

Description: The Coyo is the personal transport of Junker Pugn the Jawa. Originally assembled from TIE fighter and interceptor debris by Junker Pugn’s ancestor, Darth Pugn, over four hundred years ago, it spent most of that time as a museum piece in Interi Spaceport on the planet Rubac. It was on display as a monument to the vast destruction that its occupant wreaked on the planet when she brought the Gulag Virus with her. Junker Pugn has found more modern wreckage to refit most of the internals since getting it airworthy again. The rear gunner seats in each eyeball have been converted to house life support and cargo space so that the pilot does not require a flight suit.
Development Thread: Not applicable.
Intent: A personal transport for Junker Pugn.
Who can use this: Junker Pugn

Interesting...

Production: The Coyo is, thankfully, Unique

Squadron Count: The odd and variable shape of Uglies makes it hard to standardize an Ugly squadron footprint. It is probably less than nine Uglies per squadron.

As this is unique the squadron size would be 1.

Only one Missile/warhead launcher: ST7 concussion missiles; mag-pulse warheads (4 of each)

Warhead launchers are limited to 4 waheads. You can make it 2 and 2

Maneuverability Rating: 0.8 /20 for dodging; 5 /20 for navigation (dodges slightly better than a TIE fighter due to its erratic movements, but not suited to trench runs).

Please just list one basic value. Normal value for a TIE fighter is 3. if you want to show it more maneuverable then a tie make it 2

speed/manuvering chart

Lacklustre firepower.

Normally a fighter is allowed 6 weapons max. unique production fighters get 2 more weapons for a max of 8 but you have to do a development thread.

Only three L-s9.6 laser cannons (two on one eyeball, one on the other). Only one Lb-14 dual heavy laser turret. Only one Missile/warhead launcher: ST7 concussion missiles; mag-pulse warheads (4 of each)

As it sits you have
3 laser cannons = 3 guns
1 dual heavy laser cannon = 4 guns (heavy = 2x)
1 warhead launcher = 1

For a total of 8 weapons, which is allowable as a unique fighter, but it requires 10 posts of development. A thread building or testing or flying or sitting around it hving dinner, as long as the thread is about it .

Or you can bring the weapons down to 6. best way is make the dual a normal laser and not heavy. A heavy laser is a massive gun for a fighter. Think the cannons under the AT AT's chin. those are heavy lasers.

Thank you very much for linking the maneuverability chart. I’ve changed to a fixed Maneuverability of 2, that fits nicely between Fighter and Interceptor. I’ve left a comment that it dodges better than it flies in straight lines.

You made some great points about firepower. It would be fun to do a dev’ thread but ultimately I don’t want the firepower of an AT-AT. I went with a single heavy laser (adding a text explanation) and also adjusted the starfighter image. The heavy lasers in the image didn’t look any bigger than the regular ones, now the one left over does.

I also trimmed the warhead count and squadron size which makes good sense. Thank you for reviewing it!

Hyperdrive Class: 4.5 /20 Adequate. The CoYo ideally has its two older hyperdrives working in unison. If only one is working the Hyperdrive Class is 2.0.

you are using 2 hyperdrives in tandom? Hyperdrives do not work like this. One can be a back-up but they do not make it faster in hyperspace to have 2 working at one time. Making the main hyperdrive speed 2.0 with a secondary 4.5 hyperdrive will work.

 

[Junker Pugn]

Hi @[member=Reshmar] ,

I’ve made the primary 4.0 and the secondary 2.0, since it makes sense to use the good one whenever he can. It still allows for this jalopy to ‘limp away’, story-wise.

So you are using the slower drive as your primary and the faster one as your secondary?

 

[Junker Pugn]

[member="Reshmar"]

No, the opposite - it would make sense to use the good drive when you can. I could add a cool-down period, or other complications to simulate some level of unreliability, but I don't have any sense of what would do that. Other than to simply have the fast one fail regularly (similar to the Millenium Falcon in the original trilogy).

Awesome. Pending Admin Approval. Thanks! [member="Spencer Jacobs"]
