Since the preview of Wave 8 and the Inquisitor's alternate advanced TIE I wonder if Imperial Z-95s can be a thing as long as they are listed as 'Imperial Headhunters' and have the clone wars model instead of the AF-4 variant. Would they be imperial enough?

And I'm still not understanding the SWG bias towards inclusion in expansions when T-wings, R-41s and FREAKING ASSAULT GUNBOAT AND MISSILE BOAT should have been wave 5/6. Would the X-wing minis game even be a thing if it wasn't for the fans of the old X-wing sims growing up and being willing to buy little plastic toys to zoom around on a table?

I agree that the R-41 Twing and Assault gunboat should be in by now, but SWG has some cool ships and Scum and Villainy is a thing. The decimator is a cool ass ship.

Yes? Because...Star Wars.

Unrelated - that's my standard email sig.

Fortune favours the bold.

How many pages does this thread reach before FFG finally gives us our gunboat? lol

Worked for the k wing.

Mine as well, Darius.

Worked for the k wing.

I'm struggling to remember anyone actually asking for the K-Wing lol

Imperial Epic ships, on the other hand...

SWG was amazing in the ground and in the air and that audience is waiting for a return of its greatness. I jumped at SWTOR only to be let down by it and quit. I had seen these models on shelves but wasn't a war gamer. When I saw the decimator released I got excited and went all in. The Scyk in its proper paint scheme meant there was hope this is the place to be.

I'm upset that the Kihraxz has the wrong paint scheme but that can be fixed so I'm anxiously awaiting the other four small privateer ships. I want to defeat nova couriers on the table. I want a sorosuub yacht defense against pirates scenario/escort mission.

And I want to kill krayyt dragons for pearls while waiting for my harvester hoppers to fill (but that probably won't happen in this game).

The x v t games were great at the time. Jump to lightspeed was lightyears better.

Goddamnit for ONCE I go on holidays and the coolest thread in the forum advances by six pages!

SWG über alles.

I hope the Dunelizard shows up so all head weekly Dunelizard threads will go away, although after it is released we will see 'how to fix the Liz' threads.

Um, actually, what's a Dunelizard? I'm glad I missed he MMORPG madness, the subscriptions would have cut into my beer money.

The Hutts had 4 fighters. The Scyk that we already have and these three beautiful ships.

Dunelizard http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/MandalMotors_G1-M4-C_%22Dunelizard%22_Starfighter

Kimogila http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/MandalMotors_M12-L_%22Kimogila%22_Multi-role_Starfighter

Krayt http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/M22-T_%22Krayt%22_Gunship

Black Sun had the Kihraxz but used an alternate version along with these three beautifully ugly ships:

Rihkxyrk http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/TransGalMeg_%22Rihkxyrk%22_Attack_Ship

Ixiyen http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/TransGalMeg_%22Ixiyen%22_Fast_Attack_Craft

Vaksai http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Vaksai_Starfighter

Proper Kihraxz paint scheme http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/TransGalMeg_%22Kihraxz%22_Assault_Fighter

Rebel Nova Courier - counterpart to the Decimator http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Nova_Courier

Factionless:

Y-8 Mining Ship http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Y-8_Mining_Ship

Sorosuub Yacht http://swg.wikia.com/wiki/Sorosuub_Luxury_Yacht

We need all of them in the game.

Before the gunboat.

SWG was also the first appearance of the Royal Guard TIE.

Kimogila I like. The others are ugly but Star Wars-y enough. After all, if SotE can give us a flying toilet, school bus with wale flippers and the battle butterfly then there's more than enough room for the SWG plethora.

After the Gunboat.

ok dont know if it has been said yet in 36 pages but here it goes, FFG please give us the Assault gunboat. Thanks

FFG, please give us the Assault Gunboat...in the same wave as the much cooler TIE Avenger. So that the Gunboat people will STFU, but it doesn't kill the game.

1:72 scale is cool and all, but it's just a little bit too big...

And while I'm at it, I'm going to post the Eurobricks lego designs again, because these guys are ace:

Eurobricks Lego XG-1 thread: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=78568

And the Missile Boat: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80301

Eh, the top fin of the missile boat is even uglier in Lego. That's a beaut of a gunboat, though.

The x v t games were great at the time. Jump to lightspeed was lightyears better.

I liked SWG, I really did. I enjoyed JTS.

BUT:

Are you ******* high?

POBs were better, big ships were better. The small ship game was grossly simplified.

and Yes, I was in the PVP game, i knew my stuff, I had the most feared ship on the intrepid server at one point. So I'm not saying this from a john snow perspective.

JTl at the end boiled down to who can get a lucky hit in a turn war, or who could nail somones reactor with a missile, or who was a clever sod in a Y-wing making them chase you right into the overpowered turret.

JTS was ok, we have astromechs, rebel commands are useless - ask freelancers and imperials for theirs.

JTS was flying around killing respawning ships for no real progress, or playdates for actual PVP battles.

Yeah, getting together for cyssk runs or soloing cyssk was fun. But come on, the unplayable for 6 months YT2400 cause of the engine bug. the hitbox bug with the RGI, the JSF spam...

But did you have a Black Sun Helmet? I did. My Ithorian in BH armor for scale.

Counterpoint: the R-41 and T-wing are boring designs with no role to play in X-wing Minis.

Counter-counter point: opinions are not facts

Counter-counter-counter-counter-counter-counter point: the TIE Interceptor (Fighter with dagger wings), Defender (three winged interceptor) and Pilunisher (nuff said) are uninspired copies of previous designs, and the E-wing is half an X-wing.

See how easy it is?

I actually used BS helmets as a primary source of income... they sold for so much, went through 4 at different points.

Also I was a 9ace.

I can talk SWG-JTLS.
