XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Well page 1 has been proven...

I don't know if it has been posted on any of the previous pages.

But if you remember the italian leak of the wave 9 ships, well, right at the bottom of the second picture it displayed 'XG1 ASSALTO BARCA PISTOLA'

Just in case, I will translate it for you: XG1 ASSAULT BOAT GUN

Since the Wave 9 spoiler that came out today points that the ships listed are effectively being made, well... I'd say that this is a faint glimmer of hope for the XG1.

Not to add, the last ship named was 'SUPERIORE STELLA VIPERA' which translates to 'Superior Star Viper'..

I want to see this supposed leaked page 2. I still don't belive that any of it was real, but I want to see it anyway.

It was pretty much the same image, only with more names on it.

I'll try to fetch it.

*** EDIT Found it.

DRINK The Dam Cool Aid Already JIM!

I just saw the wave 9 stuff after I posted my last. interesting stuff. I like how they did NOT give the TIE/sf a turret like others were complaining for.

But if there is a page 2 with GUNBOAT, well then...........

WELL that changes my tune then. The hope continues!

I agree.

It's a little early to celebrate yet but as Arma Quattro pointed out. It's looking really sodding likely.

Just in case noone said it earlier.

GUNBOAT.

Just in case noone said it earlier.

GUNBOAT.

Need I repeat myself...

Unfortunately, that one looks like a fake to me (or someone has edited the original for wishlisting purposes).

Here's the original for reference:

Could it be, or could be not, who knows.

I'll investigate further.

I don't believe it either.

"XG1 Assalto barca pistola" is a terrible word-by-word translation that makes no sense. Literally, it means "Pistol Raft Assault XG1".

The proper thing would be "XG1 Cannoniera d'assalto"

XG1 and Starviper! Holy Cats.

Yeah it made me laugh to read such terrible translation. :D

Looks like a Google Translate job to me. "Super/ior Star Viper" sounds like a shot in the dark for Scum, but Resistance Shuttle is a fairly plausible guess for the Rebels.

Also kudos for just including three ships, as Wave 9 will likely be the last wave to include two Scum ships.

So, there's a couple of plausible elements to it, but are there enough?

When's the next season of Rebels due? If we see a new StarViper in it, then we may have something...

Maaaan, I hope this is no fake.

If not: Do you guys thought about the possibility that in the future EU ships aren't anymore part of Waves but will be released like the TFA stuff? Just something that came to my mind.

Too my knowledge there isn't a release date for season 3, but season 1 and 2 of rebels started in October (With some bonus stuff before hand), so October seems like a safe bet.

There is no mention of rogue one ships on that list. There is no way we aren't getting a U-Wing and TIE-Striker in time for the new movie, I am pretty sure FFG is contractually obligated to do so (Based on the rushed TFA ships). I'm calling that one fake, but then again I thought rebel ARC-170s were fake for sure too...

but then again I thought rebel ARC-170s were fake for sure too...

Most of us did...

It's possible that Rogue One releases will be released separately, to tie in with the release of the film.

I doubt we'll see a Rogue One: The Miniatures Game core set (unless it's for Imperial Assault), but a TIE Striker and U-Wing Expansion Pack, "added" to wave 9 (or Wave X), then released on their own alongside the film? Maybe.

Never mind the fact that U-Wing and TIE Striker are as-yet unconfirmed. I won't be surprised but they've hardly been nailed down yet.

I didn't...

(meant as sarcasm, not trying to be rude)

OK, yeah. So imagine:

Resistance Shuttle (Force Awakens Leia and Akbar crew?)
XG-1 Assault Gunboat
Advanced Star Viper (whatever that is)

Announced as Wave X. Small wave, right? Then the U-Wing and TIE Striker are added to it in the same way the T-70 and TIE/fo were added to Wave 8...

****, I'm actually talking myself into believing this rumour now...

All that's missing is a Scum Epic ship.

Edit:

Yeah, definitely a fake. The reddit poster's comment was:

"Guys! I also found a photo of unreleased Italian stuff. It's totally not fake or anything."
Full marks for effort and attention to detail, though.

I'm in.

Okay, well, maybe everyone else knows this but it just dawned on me: there will most likely be no more EU-only ships in X-Wing.

So, if we want our beloved gunboat, then we need to start praying that the gunboat will show up in Rebels like the ARC-170 did.
