Not tonight. Picking up kids birthday present...

Is it a GUNBOAT?

Dude, she's 7.

Dude, she's 7.

Then I'd recommend a smaller joystick that will fit her hand easily, without too many buttons on it. Depending on how coordinated she is, you may need to work the keyboard commands for her so she can focus on flying.

Dude, she's 7.

But you're right of course; cadets start with TIE Fighters. You need to EARN the right to fly the mighty GUNBOAT.

Dude, she's 7.

My not-yet-three-year-old prefers a yoke over a stick. They're pricier, but easier to handle.

Dude, she's 7.

I was 7 when I was declared The Emperor's Hand.

Yeah had I a flight yoke i'd probably go for it and set them something up...

I might have to cave in and visit Shapeways earlier than planned, mel's putting out some brilliant stuff at the moment

I still maintain that going to mel for an XG is admitting defeat.

For ships I truly don't expect, sure.

Hopefully restarting my GUNBOAT Lego attempt this week. I am planning a micro-scale one as well as mini-figure scale. Updates to come! I hope I actually finish this time.

I'm looking at his Razor Fighter. Alderaanian ship. So pretty, but it'll never officially see the light of day.

But when I place my next order, it'll be hard not to include a Gunboat or two.

Yeah I am looking at the 8CM ATR with a set of Razors. I'll just play them as Fangs.

the beloved Gunboat is now part of the X-Wing TTS Collection on Steam....

Fangs, that's not abad shout. I was thinking subbing them in for Z-95s or Black Sun Aces

Eh Z's makes more sense but... Fangs gives them a certain ooh-lala.

Question time ladies and gents:

You are given a choice by the Gods, you can either:

Win, consecutively in 2017, a store, regional, national and worlds event. Going undefeated with possibly the greatest record that will ever stand in X-Wing. Business will resume as normal the following year but the gunboat will never, ever be released.

or

FFG allows you to design and release the gunboat, but you will never win another competitive Xwing event again. (you may win games but one way or another, something will happen that causes you to lose or have to leave early and miss the cut/final)

What do you choose

I've never won a competitive event before, why start now lol

If I'm garenteeed the win, then I'll bring mel's gunboats to each tournament and use my power as world's champion to make it happen. Check and mate.

I never really did events anyway, prefering to run my own campaigns.

I'll take one for the team.

Gunboat. No contest.

I've just booked a ticket to a Store Championship in September, need to travel 3 hours to get there as no events are run locally, and I'd happily lose every match 100-0 just to see some more FFG Gunboat art.

If I'm garenteeed the win, then I'll bring mel's gunboats to each tournament and use my power as world's champion to make it happen. Check and mate.

Well played sir. Well played.

GUNBOAT!

So idea, what if we all just started ordering shapeways gunboats and having them delivered to FFG.

That idea is expensive and impractical. I like it.
