Is the top one a Decimator? It looks like a Decimator.

How about this?

I was trying to make a Che Guevara type pic but there aren't any good auto-meme makers for it and I'm too lazy to boot up photoshop when I don't actually want the Gunboat made before the rest of the SWG ships... Still, I couldn't resist making these.

I just HOPE we get the Krayt Gunship (and Kimogala/Dunelizard/Ixiyen/Vaskai/Rihkxyrk/YKL-37R Nova Courier/Sorosuub Yacht/Y-8 Mining Ship/Naboo N-1/X-4 Gunship/AEG-77 Vigo Gunship/TIE Aggressor/YE-4 Gunship/Belbullab-22/Eta-2 Actis Interceptor/etc...) first.

That's a pretty awesome idea ViscerothSWG, and some great work as well!

And I'd be more than happy seeing your wishlist arrive in game as well. I never had the chance to play Galaxies myself, I gather I missed out then?

I'm stealing this later.

It was an excellent game.

For the space flight, travel to any system, find some ships hostile to your chosen faction, and lose yourself for as long as you wanted while dogfighting. Land and check your cargo hold... sort through dozens of looted engines/weapons/etc for upgrades. Combine multiple like components into one with the better stats than the bunch through reverse-engineering. Outfit your ship with those upgrades. Or buy the re-engineered components from other player Shipwrights (mine was Ithorian) if you didn't want to make them yourself. Every ship you owned was truly customized. I owned a lot of ships.. and regret not taking more screenshots while playing.

I spent hours having fun just mining asteroids for the metals in my Y-8. Shoot large asteroids into small chunks then tractor those pieces to your hold before they fly out of range.

Some ships were very rare:

"In order to get a schematic for a Firespray, you will have to do a lot of Re-Engineering. Every 100-300 reverse engineer processes, a RANDOM disk fragment (A Kuat Systems Engineering Schematic Fragment) will be produced. Once you have all 8 fragments, drop them in the component analyzer then click analyze. You will receive a limited use KSE Firespray Chassis Blueprints (Schematic) for about 3-8 uses."

...of course I had one.

There was PVP too, of course, and for multi-person ships like the Decimator, you could bring friends into your ship to man the guns/pilot. (Hitting anything with the turret while an erratic pilot was at the wheel was nearly impossible.)

The ground game was almost as fun. Almost.

I just hope we have a Starwing before the Skipray. Words cannot express my loathing for the Skipray

I don't mind the Skipray. But if the Starwing doesn't fit the Imperial aesthetic, the Skipray really doesn't fit it.

The Starwing does fit. perhaps not as a fighter but it is based (based as in copied witha few detail changes *L*) from an Imp ship. Th Skipray doesnt even fit the SW aesthetic

Now I disagree with that, Gosric. I think its rotating wings and lumpy, thrown together body fit it pretty well. Just, y'know. Not Imperial. At all. Which is why it'd be scum and scum only. Forever.

The thing I never understood about the Skipray is what purpose the rotating wing served. But yeah, the Gunboat fits the Imperial aesthetic fine, given its obvious resemblance to the Lambda-class shuttle.

It really needs a ducking clamp under it. Can you imagine? Awesomesauce.

Skipray looks to me like a helicopter without the rotor.. weird beyond words..

So does the Mist Hunter - both have that Hind/Apache look to them. I wasn't overly keen on the G1-A artwork, but I love what FFG have done with the model.

Skipray already had a Micro Machine toy a couple decades ago. Same with that carrier ship in rebels. Gunboat, no toys, no models, nothing official, ever.

...yet.

The Moldy Crow once had such a problem.

But FFG was the first to ever make an official, properly scaled model of it. There is hope yet, my friend!

How many of the releases for the X-Wing game have been firsts for that matter? Have the Mist Hunter / Punishing One had official models elsewhere? The Scyk> Kihraxz?

I refuse to believe anyone else has made a Punisher lol

The rotating wing is the thing that annoys me so much. I was grimacing to myself while i made the bloody thing. If the wings remained flat and a few changes were made it might not be bad looking ship. But it will never be a favourite of mine.

Basically yeah, that. FFG is the first for a LOT of these guys.

The Micro Machines Skipray had the wings horizontal, I really hope that if/when FFG does a Skipray for scum they have it the same way. Rotating the wings to vertical seems to have no purpose other than to pointlessly block the turret from firing aftward.

I do actually prefer the vertical wing configuration for the Blastboat. I think it's a rather interesting ship from a potential gameplay point of view.

3 dice primary weapon with the Ion special rule; turret slot, system slot, crew slot and two torp slots. Could be a great control ship that needs additional points feeding in to ir to supplement it's damage output

I'm not giving up, FFG! Alpha XG-1 Starwing Assault Gunboat, Blast Boat, and R-41 Star Chaser, please!

The R-41 is actually a pretty compelling case for a Rebel cannon carrier with low point cost. Basically Z-95's with a cannon instead of missiles, maybe even illicit slots.

Kinda my problem with the B wing is that rotating cockpit.
