I can't quite make out what Assault Configuration does, or the PS7 pilot's ability (or name, but that's not as important)
Beyond our wildest dreams.

I'm totally fine with that!!!
Next step: make it canon!

If it was the Missile Boat it would need at least 1 missiles 1 torpedo upgrade slot. Looking at the images it has a canon and one other. Not enough for a Missile Boat.

No, though it does have jam tokens.

Told you so. ?

At least it'll be in the game albeit some sort of amalgamation.
GUNBOAT!! this is the happiest I've ever seen the FFG forums
I'm.... I'm actually lost for words. Like my mouth was open and moving a bit but nothing came out...

There is that 'assault configuration' mod for it. I imagine that gives it more of the missile boat upgrade line? Can't quite make out the text on it...
That model.... I kinda prefer Mels Miniatures one

Now I've seen a bigger image, it looks like it does have missiles and torpedoes, and no canons. So... with only 2 attack dice, yep, sounds like a Missile Boat.
FFG FTW. Fantasy Flight Games somehow makes a great ship even better. Way to go!

According to someone on Reddit, it HAS a Torpedo and Missile slot. And the Title gives it the cannon slot.
So it totally IS a Missile Boat by default, and then the title turns it into the classic Gunboat.
Edit: Bah, you ninjad me. 
RHO SQUADRON CONFIRMED!
Oh, yeah! Ordering at least four of them! It has a reload ordnance action?
I'll be ordering 4. That must go without saying.
Reload action; so something like "you can't attack this round, but next round you get a second torpedo/missile/bomb?

Yup, with the most expensive (PS7) pilot at 27 pts, it stands to reason running a four-ship-swarm of these should be easy to do.
I'm in for four. But I'd already known that since X-Wing was first announced so many years back - all the way back when we were expecting the gunboat in wave 4!
I'm convinced this thread made this happen.
3-4 Kimo's too. that might actually make me play Scum. IDGAF about the P2. I'm so excited now I've not been excited for x-wing in over a year.
Wave 12 shall be known as the Gunboat wave.
"Oh the Phantom II, that came out in the Gunboat wave right?"
Edited by Joe CensoredTo be fair, Kimo is a big **** deal.
