Page 300 is on the horizon - I think we should do a "best of" page. Find and post your favourite GUNBOAT comments from the last three years!

Doesnt that just pretty much involve reposting the first page? Or do I have to trawl through and find the Gunboat haters who said they hope it never happens?

Perhaps the first/most accurate predictions of the ship's stat line (or the names of the generics) could take a front seat?

FOR THE GLORY OF GUNBOAT!

@Odanan

Do you have a page of some sort where I can find your cards and possibly print them and use them in casual games?

They're just so good...

Sure! Here is the new Odanan's custom cards thread (and here is the old one). Or you can browse my Deviant Art gallery.

Thanks for the compliments!

300 pages? This is madness!

No, it’s totally sane. What’s crazy is FFG taking 12 waves to give us GUNBOAT.

Gimme! I wanted these in Wave 4, but if I have to wait for Wave 6, so be it. It would be nice to have a beam upgrade introduced with this ship, too.

So young and innocent. Before the dark times, before the Phantom menace and TLT spam, Scummies and FAQING TIE PUNISHER.

I was aiming for more of a ”THIS. IS. GUNBOAT!! “ but I’ll take it.

In the games, it's maneuverability was similar to the X-Wing.

From the article: "the Alpha-class Star Wing had limited maneuverability"

These are the words of the designers, which one would assume means they want us to prepare for disappointment.

It has SLAM, Odanan.

The SLAM is a feature that can make getting to or getting out of a spot possible even with a non-Scum (post Wave 7) dial.

......,

However, due to the fact this is a game, and we're all just young kids in comparison to the length of eternity, I'm in it for fun no matter what the dial. I'm predicting it will be my favorite number two, just behind the TIE Interceptor.

Oh and did you notice noone cares about the Sheathapede Phantom even tho it’s yet another prequel ship hitting the game? I’m almost feeling pity for it. Almost.

Well, frankly, it's another shuttle. I don't think most people get worked up over shuttles in the first place.

Until they realize how good coordinate is on such a cheap chassis.

Another shuttle!!!! Woo hoo!!!!!

cant wait for Nu, Theta, Delta, Delta again, all the Greek letter classes!!!! Who needs K-turns, we sure don’t! My dream of having all the foldy-winged shuttles must come true!

and to think it all started with this

My favorite transport was always this one:
(to keep it on-topic, there is a gunboat in the picture too)

I think it's a Gamma-class Assault Transport?

They were dangerous sons of ******* that could take care of themselves.
I think I would make it have a firing arc like the Raider's. Frontal, sideways, but not directly behind.
Or to avoid punishing Autothrusters-carrying ships, perhaps a turret primary weapon but with a blue line on the rear of the base so that the turret cannot fire thru it.

To be realistic it would have to be a 4 die PWT that changes all hits to crits. And like more hp than a Decimator. Those things were super tough unless you unloaded a ton of Torpedoes into them. Dealing with mine fields was safer.

Hurry up FFG!!!

Thats because these things carried around capital ship grade Turbolasers and Ion cannons ^^
And with a length of 45 meters it would perfectly fit as an imperial Epic.

Sounds like it was replaced by the Raider.

The Ghost is about that size, and we already have a Ghost sized "lotsa hull" ship with a turret, the Decimator.

More like the Decimator, I think. It should have roughly the same size.
Although this carried more torpedoes and stuff like that. But it overlaps quite a lot with the Decimator, so I don't see it coming.

EDIT: Ninja'd. I need to read the last post before replying.

Speaking of the Decimator, it might fit nicely alongside a pair of GUNBOATS in a Wave 12 Imperial squadron...

It seems to be made to suffer.

With a name like that...

On the Gamma Class (aka ATR-6), i think it aould be cool to see it with a PWT, but a forward arc for a cannon and torps secondaries. Plus the reload action and a title that lets it kill everything...

I hated seeing them launch when flying in XWA...they were even scarier than the Gunboat to me...
