XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

I know now the assault gunboat is so very needed. In my podcast rotation; I've listened to the latest Gold Squadron and, well, the Cubs Won!! So....

Where is it?!? Let's talk the next release spoiler going back to ships of that Gunboat era!!

Just want to ask, what will happen if the Gunboat gets into the game? Specifically what ship will be championed next to make its way to X-Wing? Aside from calling for the missile boat.

First, we need a gunboat.

Once we get a gunboat, we can talk about where we go from there.

Clawcraft or that tie with a rear turret.

Skipray blast boat...oh yes

Guy apparently owns a warhammer. You were hoping for reason and sense?

Why would you not want a Warhammer?

Not only is it useful for home defence and displays of petty violence, you can put nails and carpet tacks in with it (although you might not want to try this with a plasterboard wall)

Probably the V-wing. Although that one actually has a reasonable chance. It'd be nice to see more use for salvaged astromechs, and the Heavy Scyk title lifts the Scyk a bit too far out of being a true swarmer.

TIE Avenger. Or...

The airspeeder or the star fighter? Well, I guess either way I get to buy another ship to go towards my Rebel's alphabet ship collection. We already have seven only nineteen more to go.

The starfighter - primarily because (a) it got screen time and (b) it's quite pretty.

That's... A totally reasonable and sensible way to respond to a fictional setting's show aimed towards young people...

Alright I have to ask, did anyone write in Gunboat on the presidential balot?

His 40k minis. It'll break him in such a way he'll need to combine games where space Marines blow them up on the ground, because there can only be one Empire.

A war hammer is a lot cheaper than a sporterized Saiga chambered in 5.56 with a magpul conversion. As to the 40k models, I've been a Chaos fan for years. As for the other comment on a setting meant for younger people, go read the NJO.

Praise the Sun, but I prefer the Mk 5.

How would they attach the peg?

It can't go into the panel, or be off center.

Put it on its aft side, like some B-Wing/K-wing conversions.

Pilot's like, I can't believe I pulled that off and nobody saw it.

Put it at a 45' angle. That way the peg can go in between the panel and the root of the 'arm'.

Why can't it be off-center?

Changing the standard?!

Blasphemy!

It could also go into the back at the root of one of the arms, much like a B-wing. Besides which, it's not off-centre - the turbolaser pod is clearly heavier (it's got a capital ship gun inside it, after all!).

After the Mk1, I prefer the Mk2, though it could be in X-wing as a title.

"TIE Fighter only. Imperial only. Primary weapon value is set to 0. Add a cannon slot."

I'm pretty sure the Jumpmaster is off-center

ALso the Outrider. And the Milennium Falcon, come to think of it.

Amusingly, that's the usual objection we see to releasing the Gunboat...
