VIOLATING the blessed SANCTITY of our beloved GUNBOAT thread?!

[Fly me closer. No seriously guys, I can't reach with my chain sword]

Something like that

Unfortunately, that's pretty much how gunboats with Jamming Beam are going to feel. Sigh.

Enter Major Rhymer.

Umm... why are you not cowering in terror?

But, seriously, Gunboat aces with properly priced Rhymer and Maarek would be intimidating.

Range 2 Adv Proton Torpedoes behind a set of shields would make me shiver.

Something like that

"Brother Chaplain, we have outfitted your gunboat with the most advanced ordnance available to the Empire. You are to use your SLAM drive to quickly close on-"
"You heard him, my Brothers! RAMMING SPEED!"

It's the 1st December. The final countdown (not Striker) is now on. I feel like digging out the picture of the Hunboat with a Santa hat on it.

When the TIE silencer looks like it's going to become the staple in the meta game instead of the gunboat:

But then you realize running both together will make a really solid list......

Personally, I think someone’s going to come out with an oddball list featuring the gunboat that will do well and blindside people because they didn’t see it coming. Thing is, who knows what thatll be

It's almost as if the Silencer is very close to some kind of ship that worked remarkably well with the Gunboat. Strange that.

The Empire is on the verge of success...

Have I ever mentioned that to me she's looking like a teacher pointing at it like "Hello class, todays topic will be the Alpha Class GUNBOAT."

Back on topic, Here's a question to consider:

Ms. Pasma Meme-min.jpg

Did you happen to see this post?

Or was I not the only one to think that?

We have to ask FFG to provide us with nifty little avatars to use on this forum.. nifty little avatars portraying Gunboaty McGunboat.

I think I'm going to have to use a celebratory deployment of 5 x XG-1 Jamming Beam Gunboats.

Just because you can.

And because Spaceballs.

Thank you, FTS. I needed someone else to realize that this is the true GUNBOAT theme song.

"Ooh yeah, we're jammin', hey
To think that jammin' was a thing of the past
We're jammin', we're jammin'
And I hope this jam is gonna last
No bullet can stop us now, we neither beg nor we won't bow
Neither can be bought nor sold
We all defend the right, Jah-Jah children must unite
'Cause life is worth much more than gold"
