XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

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.

Based on what? No disrespect, just curious what prompted that.

I'm absolutely down with the Gunboat showing up in Rebels (Rogue One would be better but is an entirely different stretch).

Were the Mist Hunter and Punishing One in Clone Wars at least?

Yeah, that's what we've been thinking for some time Boba Rick. The BEST chance we have of seeing a release for everyone's favourite five-winged missile deliverer is for it to be canonized by the Mouse Upon High.

Much like the Interdictor Cruiser was in Rebels.

It's not our ONLY hope (Obi Wan), but it's our BEST hope.

Edit: And besides, who wouldn't appreciate seeing the look of growing horror on the Rebels' protagonists faces as a flight of Gunboats jumps in and launches a volley of proton torpedoes at one of those Hammerhead cruisers?

I can imagine Thrawn steepling his fingers and smiling to himself now...

ARC-170 was my favorite of the prequel designs, so I'm glad to see it included in the game. Disappointed still no gunboat, as it would have made a good counterpart to the 170 but for the Imperials. Oh well...maybe wave 10...

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...

Yeah you guys can prolly expect the dam-starwing... lol... good, GOOD!

The Resistance Transport has been on my list for a while and a new improved Star Viper is awesome.

:lol:

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.

There are already LEGO sets leaked.

Hope this ship never comes out to see the salt fill this thread.

That's funny, my biggest driving hope is that it does come out so that the haters get their own salt.

Kinda like what happened with the ARC this morning.

Well hot dang

Oooh, that black shuttle looks pretty. More Cygnus designs!

Did they change the mounting of the TIE 's wings or do they flap like a bird?

Urgh, another aesthetically redundant wave. That said if (and only if) that rumours true, I'll buy some Wave 9 ships. Otherwise, I'll stick to chihuahuas.

They are still doing a Ren Ride with a striped Fo Fo like they did for the Heros Of The Resistance set... of course; but until then I am happy I got these babies in my fleet.

:lol:

What is that you're keeping your ship's in?

DAT... great for home use.

:D

Still no Gunboat? Really?

Man, I'm starting to feel like that guy whose wife always has a different excuse to say 'no' to his amorous advances every Saturday night.

"XG1 Assalto barca pistola" is a terrible word-by-word translation that makes no sense.

Well, it's exactly what Google Translate gives you if you enter Assault Gun Boat. So if it's just someone running a release schedule through a translator instead of a proper localization, then that's an understandable result.

Although Assault Gunboat returns "assalto cannoniera".

And this, dear readers, is why spelling an punctuation matters. It's amazing what a difference a space can make.

One gives us the glory that is

No gunboat this wave. Darned it.

So. It's official. We're getting prequel ships before the Gunboat. I'm sorry but that's just wonderful and hilarious.

Man I am right there with you brother, much as I looooove the Gunboat, there's something DELICIOUS about getting a genuine Clone Wars era starship before that.

Eeeheheheheehehheheeeheeee~

But it must not transport well outside the home.

Who the hel would take their wonderful models outside the comfort of their nice game parlor at home... in the first place?!

NOT ME!

There will never be a Gunboat, it would have made it by now. They are using rebels tv stuff. Your Gunboat is dead...long live the King....

And as a great Sith once replied, "Your faith in FFG is yours". Or something like that.
