Don't really have much call for this gunship in my campaign, but bought it anyway just for the fun factor and to be complete. Was really surprised and impressed by the section on Starships vs Planets and Characters. Great analysis and very though provoking. Sometime in the future my characters will be challenged with stopping this ship without another starship. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Same excellent production values and well designed ship. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Adventure hooks in this product seemed a little weaker than in others in the series. Almost as if the creators also didn't really know how to handle this ship in a campaign.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Superb. I love these things, so much so that I'm creating a campaign just so I can use them. I'm printing them out on a so-so printer, and they still look great. About my only criticism would be that the tiles aren't square, which limits the number of ways they can be combined. But that's a very small gripe indeed. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The quality of the graphics, the obvious care and attention that's been put into them, and their sheer utility.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: If the tiles were square, you could combine them in a lot more ways. That said, there are so many tiles that it really doesn't matter.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

it was ok. I think it time to have a few new room or mabe a large ship or a derelict ship, or alien.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Absolutely awesome game aid for any serious GM. You have to buy this one.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Another very nice starship design from RA; this one is an ass-kicker through and through. Of particular interest to me were the text pieces on starships vs planets and characters that make an interesting essay on how one starship can potentially take over an entire planet with relative ease UNLESS another starship gets involved. The rules and discussion on Infantry Robots were also well done, and the deck plan was as usual excellent. The two new e-tiles were a useful addition and added some variety to the mix, something previous deckplans have not necessarily been noted for doing.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: New tiles, heavily armed ship, good text content. Price point as always excellent.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: Nothing really.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Great product as always. I get these for the tiles but the stats on the ship are top-notch!<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: Nice presentation and great tiles!!<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

"Is this gonna be a stand-up fight, sir, or another bug hunt?"

"Secure that sh#t, Hudson. With the deckplans for the Devastator-class gunship from Ronin Arts, the op will be whatever the GM says it will be!"

"It's a bug hunt ?"

The ninth Future: Starship deckplan package from Ronin Arts provides the perfect support ship for d20 Future players who just can't get enough of ground-pounding military science-fiction adventure. The Devastator gunship is armored-up and armed to the teeth, plus it's got a complement of infantry robots aboard who serve as shipboard security, and who can fill out any planetside strike force. <br><br><b>LIKED</b>: - Besides the usual excellent deckplans and ship's data, this product also stats out two versions of the InfantryBot (at Progress Levels 5 & 6) for use in d20 Future games.

-There's also a discussion concerning how GMs might create ground-based anti-starship weaponry (vehicle-mounted and stationary) using the d20 Future and d20 Modern rules. <br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: - Minor quibble first: the Crew number is omitted in the ship's stat block. The number can, no doubt, be inferred by looking at the remaining information, but it's an unfortunate typo.

• My biggest complaint with this product is that the Devastator is only written up as a Progress Level 6 ship. It has no interstellar drive, and in interstellar-scale campaigns at PL 7 or higher, it must function as little more than a glorified military dropship. The Devastator as presented will not fill the role of a "home ship" for a PC squad of space mercenaries travelling the galaxy looking for contract-work -- and the pity is, the ship's design would otherwise make it perfect for this sort of role -- if not for the PL 6 sublight engine.

Certainly, enterprising GMs could add a starship template, such as the Lightning-class template in the d20 Future rules, but that generic template was not designed with a military gunship in mind, and scaling up the Devastator's armor and weaponry to PL 7 properly could prove problematic. It's puzzling that Ronin Arts did not provide a template for a PL 7 Devastator; nor did they provide a PL 7 version of the InfantryBots. A puzzle, since Ronin Arts has done just these sorts of things in earlier deckplan packages.

So, tying the Devastator firmly to PL 6 limits it's versatility, making it only nominally useful in most interstellar d20 Future campaigns. This lack of flexibility will cost the product a star in this review ? regrettable, since in every other aspect, this deckplan package is as top-notch as the rest of the deckplans in Ronin Arts' Future: Starship series.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Excellent<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Disappointed<br>

The 9th in a series of spaceships designed by Ronin Arts to be made with Skeleton Key Games E-Future Tiles. New this time:
