XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Imperial cargo shuttle with energy and pilots for imps and rebels and k2so crew, sure, you can make it interesting.

If krennics shuttle ever makes it into the game, it should be treated as different sculpt to lambda class shuttle, differences are minor and it could be a reward for league play for example. A "skin" to the ship.

Differences are not minor: it's a complete (hideous) new ship.

(even uglier and less practical than the Upsilon)

It's something out of Tron. Without the neon outline or the campy feeling of imminent doom...

... Wait ignore that, Krennic has tonnes of the latter.

I hope Krennic's shuttle never happens in xwing. That thing is hideous.

Sabine's TIE proved that in X-Wing, anything is possible.

An F-117 Nighthawk isn't necessarily pretty either, but you have to have some admiration for the nature of the design - both visually and technologically. The Delta-class shuttles are the same.

I appreciate the fact of unique design of Nighthawk, I like A10 in all its ugly glory. But that Shuttle, no thanks.

You'd have to put that shuttle on 4-5 pegs to keep the wings off the table.

You know what would need only one peg?

The Gunboat!

Kylo Ren's shuttle.

Uh, I mean GUNBOAT!

(Too soon?)

Half-way serious question. How many gunboat would need to be sold for FFG to profit from it and make it worth their time? We could start an "official" poll on the forums and you would vote on how many gunboats you are committed to buying.

I have yet to buy doubles of any expansion, so the multiples of any ships I have are an accident of those ships being in multiple expansions. That being said I would HAVE TO buy at least 4 of the beautiful GUNBOAT.

i have no idea how much of a ship FFG needs to sell to make it worthwhile though. Probably more than my four+.

Personally, I would buy however many Gunboats you could fit into a single 100 point list. So yeah, probably four.

Hopefully five!

They released Sabine's TIE... do you really think it will sell less?

Indeed. And you can't tell me the Gunboat wouldn't sell more Tha the Quadjumper, by an entire order of magnitude...

The only reason I'll buy the Quadjumper is to make a Kerbal conversion.

Enough to run 300 points with.

Epic fleet of gunboats would be epic.

True, true. I despise the existence of the Quadjumper so much I forgot that it existed, until of course you reminded me. So yeah, if FFG can attempt to sell the Quadjumper, they could definitely afford the gunboat.

You must be forgetting that awesome scene where the quadjumper...um...sat there and blew up. Um...yeah. That was cool, wasn't it?

I'd be in for two, 4 if it had something like the "imperial reinforcements" card posted earlier
