But that would include the Ep I and III games as well as TFU I + II, Force Commander, Clone Wars, Stardighter, Empite at War and Star Wars: Battlefront D:

I liked Empire at War

I've added that video to page one, because it's a really good introduction to the Gunboat!

Very good point @MrMaggles - here, have a YouTube video!

Great video!! We need to spam this to the Rebels and Disney filmmakers.

It's a great 3D model as well. Great to see the Cloakshape and GAr-12 make an appearance too!

Original Empire at War: Great for it's time, and now serves as a good introduction to star wars RTS.

Forces of Corruption: X-wing Wave 5, adds scum, great expansion overall. 2 Death stars(at once)! Take that rebel scum!

Hand of thrawn mod: Glorious

Amazing game but was only really enjoyable with a certain mod. Forget the name of it but it gave you super star destroyers and tweaked a lot of troops. Man I had a lot of fun with that game, you want to talk tie swarms that game made you feel like you were rocking some left wing militants with superior firepower. Thanks for reminding me this game needs remade.

A remake with more/new canon units would be great. And improved ground battles (which became boring after some time).

It would be amazing to see Gozantis, Light Cruisers and Raiders... and Gunboat, of course.

12. Droids (1988 - probably crap for today, but I have fine memories of it)

EDIT: My history with the Rebel Assault series is of love-and-hate. I liked the games very much, but the experience was ruined by the ghost of free-flying from the X-Wing series. And I never got a chance to play Rogue Squadron or Shadows of the Empire. :(

I had a deprived childhood, clearly. :P

I really do hope we get it soon. Seems FFG is stretching it with Rebel ships, the wookie canoe and ARC-170 comes to mind. The gunboat might not fit in with the tie solar panel theme, but at least it fits with the Lambda. It would be a shame if the only thing Imp players has to look forward to is Imp shuttles and slightly altered tie variants from ep 8-9.

Resurrected Starships has done another video! More story based this time, but still, it's nice to see more Gunboat content out there.

Hi all!

I just stopped by to approve all the recent posts by our fellow brethren and sisterens. :D

Keep the Gunboat Dream alive! :D

Amen to that, brother.

It's interesting to see so many people choose TIE Fighter as their favourite game. It's probably the boldest Star Wars story ever told; a tale told from the Empire's point of view. I'd love to see Disney take a cue from it for their next adult-orientated offering following the success of Rogue One - let's see a Star Wars film depicting a pilot's life in the Imperial Navy.
