To be honest, I don't see the appeal of the Gunboat. It looks too much like a Lambda with extra guns/missile launchers. I'd much rather have the Skipray Blastboat, as the aesthetics are completely new and different, and it has a lot of firepower. However, I do respect you guys who want it so much, and would like to see you get it.
Just give me my Blastboat at the same time!
Oh....Wave 10- the Boat wave!! Gunboat for Imps, Blastboat for Scum, um....something-boat for Rebs!
The similarly to the Lambda is kind of the entire point to me - a starfighter that shares the Lambda's aesthetics (because it was built by the same company) and because if that, differentiates itself from the TIE series while maintaining an iconic Imperial look.
I do love the Skipray as well though, and that would be a brilliant ship to introduce a primary ion wePon attack.
1-1 by the way. Faced two Imperial Aces lists so far, both fun games (although I felt sorry for the lad lad I played because the dice were rolling hot)
