I mean, yes, but if that title was free, Harpoon GUNBOATS would be completely overpowered, and the entire ship would get nerfed into oblivion and we'd never see it again...

Yes this is pretty much what I would have done. But hey we still got GUNBOAT and she is still awesome.
also this needs to be on the front page.
GUNBOAT!

One torpedo slot isn't worth 1-2 points (ask the TIE Punisher).
I actually like that the titles don't cost 0, since it forces the player to make a choice (choices are good) between OS-1, XG-1, or vanilla. That leads to three clearly different ships.
I think the day the Empire gets a cheap Coordinate ship or crew, we will realize why OS-1 costs 2 points.

coordinate with this! If that’s not cheap enough then try one of these:
better yet, Imp only crew adding coordinate to action bar: Comm Officer or something

How are people coping with the huge increase of Black One PS11 Poe these days? You still getting consistent Harpoons off?

I would guess Deadeye Rho if they can spare the points.

...and then HSCP takes the focus away =(

HSCP PS11 Fenn is quite common at the moment and so is PS11 Black One Poe. Just seems to me that the OS-1 Gunboat is having a more difficult time because of it. .
Now the HLC Assault configuration on the other hand . . with Crackshot and Linked. . that seems to be working.

Not so much.
Even with B1 and Hotshot to deny shots, LRS Harpoons are by far more popular and delivering by far better results.
By the Prophet! What's going on here!? Page 4?? Sacrilege!
What's going on with the divergent threads (looking at Aces Pack Post) (-.-)?
How am I supposed to find my favourite and bestest news about our most Glorious Five Winged Angel of the warring stars if it's all the way on Page 4???
On another note:
When is this ^ happening??? Please please FFG!!! We believe in you!

The anti-gunboat has risen, as the prophecy foretold. It brings false tidings of well costed fixes and meta counters, while secretly picking of the 'boat thread posters one by one.

Got my five GUNBOAT squad ready to go, putting Flatchet torps and Proxying LRS (only have two of those sadly). Black One can’t shake that many TLs! But then these aren’t OS-1s.
also I wish I could upload the pics of my GUNBROOD, they are lovely gorgeous things.
Been trying out this little list and pretty happy with it so far.
2x Nus w / XG-1 title, Mangler Cannon, Tractor Beam, LRS
2x Rhos w / Harpoon missiles, Guidance Chips and Deadeye
Nus' can block, go in with SLAMS to block or tractor people into rocks to mess with their next round or use Mangler Cannons to more reliably trip the Harpoon condition.
Deadeye Rhos are there to do what Deadeye Rhos do.
So in preparation for a local tourny this weekend i played my Deathboats list again yesterday (Deathrain + 2 HLC Rho)
First game showed me exactly how lethal this list is. Rebel Nym, Wedge, and Airen all at PS10 and with harpoons/plasmas/gchips (EM on scurrg). The dude legitimately only had 1 attack the ENTIRE GAME where he didnt score all hits/crits on his dice....i still beat him ... with a punisher backed by gunboats lol... after his 5th 4die attack that landed all hits i was sure i was in trouble but nope somehow i still won rofl.
Second game i FINALLY lost a game with this list....its 16-1 now... *sobs* MY PERFECT RECORD!!!
god i love gunboats lol
We must keep this on page one for the glory of the Gunboat and it's second coming of the aces pack to bring our Maarek Stele saviour home to his proper ship.

Adv Sensors not TrajSim
The premove boost is essential, or premove focus before a forward-bomb -> roll forward -> 4k (this JUST clears your bomb and often sends you far enough to get a shot with unguided)
TrajSim is worthless junk, especially on deathrain.
So has anyone designed a cool GUNBOAT tattoo?
maybe a unit patch or just a silhouette on the Imperial insignia?

Well, there is one tattoo Gunboat pilots adopt.. but it has to be earned .

Don't forget Soontir......then we'll have a PS 9 and a PS 8 with awesome pilot abilities.

If I'll ever do a tattoo, that's the one.

But wait, using force lightning to create glowing tatoos hasn’t been seen before, that’s not how the force works!

Shame, this thread was like 4 pages back.
so I saw a few things:
some of the tourney results have had a severe lack of GUNBOAT. What’s up with that? Since when do furry fellows in flying canoes get the love over the Empire’s GLORYBOATS?
and appearantly the Harpoon Alpha (class) strike that our lovely GUNBOAT excels at has been deemed unfair and a NPE. Once again, no love for my BOATS.
comments?

Watching 3xNuQD in action at the Polish System Open. It's a majestic sight.
Andrew Nuckols (of CPC) went 6-0 in swiss before losing in the top 4 at the Louisiana regionals this weekend. He was running Quiz, Palp shuttle, and a 40 point Major Vynder.
