XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Not the kind of bombs used in the Miniatures Gane. The Heavy Space Bonbs/Rockets used in TIE Fighter were more unguided ordnance than the seismic charges seen dropped by TIE Bombers in Empire Strikes Back or Slave 1 in Attack Of The Clones.

GUNBOAT! 201 pages!!!!!

Ok FFG, In honour of the 200 pages, I talk the thing with my GF, she said, more or less, that: "hummm, this lambda with missiles looks fine, looks imperial".


So, thats right... you can finaly deploy the dam ship.

Sorry, those were proton bombs that the TIEs were dropping in Empire. But yeah...

Either way, same X-Wing game mechanics. :lol:

TO FIVE HUNDRED!

I said it before, the gunboat sweet spot is as a Young Han Solo movie tie in.

The Tie fighter is called out as short range fighter. As a young smuggler, he would have had to deal with Imperial customs craft, the sort of thing with more range and the ability to disable instead of destroy.

Red trim would be true to the video games, but canonically the Empire very rarely included any distinctive markings on their ships.

Which begs the question, what kind of colour scheme would you prefer on a n official FFG gunboat?

Lambda white?

TIE Fighter grey?

TIE Bomber blue?

Gozanti/Raider grey?

Coloured squadron trim or plain?

Personally, I think similar to the rendering above - slightly darker than the Lambda, no trim..

It's got to be the grey I think it's half way between the lambda white and the darker blue.

And I'd personally like the red trim.

Thats the way I like my Gunboat.

I have heard that the reason FFG won't release the gUnboat is because the blood that would fire out the noses of the faithful few upon announcement will attract bears. Dangerous bears, bears modified with SLAM drives. .

So, essentially, it is a health and safety issue.

If FFG doesn´t announce Gunboat in less than a year, I promise all of you that I will command a mass of angry Gunboat fanatics to invade FFG offices armed with torchs and swords.

:lol: :lol:
