XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Anyway the ARC is great it's so perfectly cool

Now these points of stats make a beautiful card

and we're out of ideas but that's ok it's not hard.

So I'm glad we've got 9 even though people think we whine.

Our hope for the GUN's still alive.

And believe me it still alive

We're shooting rebels and it's still alive.

We're playing Xwing and it's still alive.

And when you're trollin' it'll be still alive.

And when Wave 10 hits it'lll be still alive.

Still alive.

Still alive.

Anyone mind if I compile this and put it on the anti gunboat thread?

Gunboats never die!

Ah, Mercy. Rivaled only by Pharah in the waifu scale.

What about D.va? Widowmaker? Symmetra? Tracer? heck, even (the dubiously fat) Mei is adorable.

OKay so aside from getting utterly off topic (which always happens, not really an issue), can we leave out the discussion of physical appearance of video game characters? It's sort of uncomfortable.

Gunboat hypothetical status: I'm hoping for Wave X, and I like the idea that I've sen mentioned by others that the wave might consist of Gunboat, Blastboat for Imps and Scum, and then something like the T-Wing for Rebels/Scum. I don't feel like anythiong in that wave would be overpowered but would really lean towards Control as a play style.

Mercy: Too-much like Doc, Pharah: Should never be wearing First Nation American themed gear, D.va Is a little kid, Widowmaker: To freaking weird, Symmetra: Also to freaking weird, Mei: Is cool.... But freaking annoying. None are "Waifu material, and only two are play worthy, Mercy and Mei.

I like Soldier because he could easily have a Punisher skin made for him, he sounds like the Garth Punisher, I like the Cowboy because he sounds exactly like Erron Black from MKX and could easily have the "Man named Frank" outfit made for him. I also like Reaper, he could easily have a Hit Man Punisher skin made for him.

To try and keep with the theme of "GunBoats" I would pick a newer better looking H-Wing. They had a ship that looked like it in the SWEP7 art book, with improved details, also a Y-Wing courier.

Buh? Mei ain't fat. She's just really thick.

But forget the others dude, Pharah and Mercy are where it's at.

While I do not begrudge the fact that this off-topic posting is keeping our beloved gunboat thread near the top of the page, I think we should probably have a thread for Overwatch-related musings... and keep it there.

Oh no, like two whole posts are off topic. What will we do?

I don't exactly count BKL's things as posts.

Anyway yes, Gunboat gunboat gunboat is a gunboat it's a great ship yes gunboat (that's the topic right?)

It wasn't the aside that was worth commenting on, so much as the manner in which the comments were made.

In any event, aside from the BTL-A4 style attack of the Ion/laser Gunboat combo, is there anything else unique you'd apply to the ship? More and more I'm coming around to giving it a really unique dial as well. That thing was relatively slow but the mechanics of TIE Fighter made it feel pretty nimble. I could turn around in a pretty small radius, for example.

Could be the place for the game's first 1-K?

Or it could be our regen ship, reduce primary attack to regen a shield.

I did that often enough in tie fighter.

That's the TIE Avenger (supposedly the faster shield regen of the Empire)

The next timeI get bored with a sketchpad, I will comit unholy blasphemy unto the page- the Tie Gunboat, and the Alpha Class Assault Shuttle.

That art is quite cool. And I like the card text itself a lot too!

Time to set off for Yavin. If anyone's in the area tomorrow, feel free to say hi. I'll be around the bottom tables somewhere.

I would just like to say for the record that travelling down the M6 to the NEC at the weekend IS IN NO WAY ANYTHING LIKE jumping to light speed to Yavin in an Assault Gunboat.

**** traffic jams.

I used this as a basis.

That's a lot of hard work you've put in there Odanan, good stuff!

Sometimes I think Odanan is Alex Davey incognito
