This dude is an awsome mini.
So I thought let's make him a BB star player.

My suggestion;

Fulgor the Meteor
7337 Block, Leap, Very Long Legs (the jetpack)

why av 7 when heÂ´s a dwarf?

the jetpack should have speciel rules...secret weapon ie...

yes! jetpack secret weapon!

i think av 8 should be there. slayers are unarmoured and theyre still av 8.

i think Mv should be reduced to 4 or 5, and he should be given sprint, as that jetpack is heavy! but he can move when he needs to

maybe also get rid of block...its dwarfy, but an almost reliable leaping player is a monster on a dwarf team.

I forgot to put in secret weapon.... and a cost.

MV 4-5 is way to slow... it would make him totally useless. But 7 is still very fast for a dwarf.

Try again;

Fulgor the Meteor, 200 000;
6338 Block, Leap, Very Long legs, Secret weapon

Extra bonus to Intercept?

Why he already has Very long legs?

Base him on a blitzer with a jet pack and use the basic rules for a Pogoer with 3 star player skills.

===============

Fulgor the Meteor, 110 000;
6339 Block, Dirty Player, Leap, Pass Block, Secret Weapon, Sprint, Sure Feet, Thick Skull, Very Long legs

===============

Pogoer we decided in LRB 5.0 added the following to a base player: +1 MA, Dirty Player (from the impact of the landing), Leap, Secret Weapon, and Very Long Legs.

As a Star player he then needs somes skills ... 3 skills should do it ... so Pass Block, Sprint, and Sure Feet give him his skill rolls to make him a star and reinforce the abilities of the Jet Pack.

Then cost ... for secret weapon players ... there was no fixed LRB 5.0 math ... it was more trying to see what felt right ... division by 2.5 for only playing for one drive was common when we did this:
80k Blitzer + 30k for MA + 10k for Star Stat increase + Skills (160k) = 280 / 2.5 rounded down = 110k

That would be pretty close to my recommendation.

Wow that be imho way to powerful for a dwarf even though I thought of the pogoer (leap, very long legs) I see him more like runner then blitzer.

Take away 1 AV, take away dirty player and keep the cost. Then I would play him.

Get rid of Block. Dwarves have way too much of that anyway and he doesn't need it. He's a fast score for the Dwarves. That's HUGE.

Problem is with this player is that Dwarves and players with AG 3 + VVL + Leap are going to be an issue regardless of their MA almost.

Dwarves don't need scoring stars ... so my stats I threw out where based on what he is and a normal Pogoer. That's doesn't mean I thought he was a good idea for a Star Player ... I don't think Dwarves need this type of star at all.

Heck I cringe that Zara plays for Dwarves.

The link to see the fig didn't work for me, but would No Hands help to negate the possibility of an agile dwarf star helping on offense?

Maybe he needs to keep his hands on the jetpack at all times

well in my experience they dont need the other stars either...they cause enough damage as it is. otherwise i like galaks suggestion, but with the following tweaks:

Fulgor the Meteor
5338 Block, Leap, Very long legs, Secret weapon, sprint, Thick skull

i think this makes him a scoring threat, but a very unreliable one (temperamental new tech, you see) the mv5 is to represent the weight of the pack, with the sprint being the extra boost from the pack.

if you get lucky and have rerolls, a strong player, but many things can go wrong.

The origin of my idea is only the mini. He's just really cool. Haven't thought about Dwarves or their need for Star players.
With some converting he would make a CD starplayer as well.
Maybe someone has a idea of stats with a CD blocker as base.

Is it just me or are there no legs on that model? I don't see any legs...
