And yet they all still come out awesome...

All. Come out. Awesome.

I could lose the tie crawler, and the torpedo bomber seems a little pointless.

But most of them are fine.

C'mon, the Crawler isn't a real TIE.

Treds in earth.

I would take the Crawler over the Raptor any day

Well, I don't play Imperial Assault, so I'll likely never have to deal with it.

One thing the XG-1 could really shine, with the DX-9 and Avenger is if there were some kind of meta campaign which factors in things like life support and hyperdrive...

Hell, my dream campaign would factor in logistics, search and rescue, injured/KIA/captive pilots, factors of relying on convoys and carriers (imperial mainly, but not exclusively) Base evacuations (rebels mainly, not exclusively) etc. TIE Fighters and Interceptors are very efficient up until they can't get to where they need to be, K-wings, some Z-95s too.

Basially TIE Fighter-like scenarios geared towards certain minis. I like it!

What if under 21?

Or dead?

The Punisher design is the TIE Interdictor, though. The first time I saw it, I assumed the heavy pod config was due to generators/etc for a micro gravwell system.

The TIE Interdictor doesn't have gravity-well generators--that's the Interdictor Cruiser. The confusing names is one possible reason FFG renamed the fighter.

I'm saying, when FFG finally starts doing Clone Wars stuff, they're going to just add Republic and CIS subfactions to the game.

FFG has said over and over that it's not going to happen. The new movies add more material, which makes it less likely that they'll need to do it. And Disney's marketing push makes it clear that they're focusing on Rebels and the new trilogy, and... let's say setting aside the prequel trilogy.

So while I won't say "never", I think it's very unlikely that we'll see the Clone Wars represented in X-wing Miniatures.

That's nice. I don't believe them.

The nice thing about consensus reality is that it blithely continues to operate, even for people that don't believe in it.

I'm european, we drink at 16+ typically.

Also, would pour beer on the grave. Like a boss.

I don't believe FFG when they say never either, but it would be messier than any previous faction update.

For what it's worth? I'm still crossing my fingers for this one.

Like many of you, I spent a huge amount of time playing X-Wing, TIE Fighter, and X-Wing Alliance. And the ships included in those games - including the TIE Defender, the Z-95, and the Assault Gunboat - all have that "true" Star Wars feel to them. Unlike the TIE Phantom, TIE Punisher, Decimator, Raider, K-Wing, etc.

In fact, the Assault Gunboat is the ONLY starfighter I'm still waiting on...

(...although the R-41 Starchaser might pique my interest as well.)

I'm pretty much in the same (Gun)boat.

In fact, having overdosed on plastic crack following the release of Wave 7 (seriously, last night I was like Al Pacino at the end of Scarface, just with X-Wing tokens and upgrade cards instead of mounds of white powder), I'm seriously contemplating holding off from future purchases until we see FFG bite the bullet and finally give us our Cygnus Spaceworks playthings.

I appreciate the imperial Firespray-31 but I wish we had gotten the Delta JV-7 shuttle as the model instead. Looking over my fleet it just looks so out of place compared to all the ties, raider and shuttles...

My Firesprays are now Scum exclusive!

I never did really dig the Firespray being an Imperial thing, to be honest. I mean, let's face it- it was literally that for the single reason of putting it up against Han.

Like seriously that's it.

Delta shuttle from shapeways in Frosted Ultra is like $90.

IIRC MacrossVF1 did an amazing scratchbuilt Delta Shuttle model...

edit: you can see it here: https://community.fantasyflightgames.com/topic/133652-macrossvf1s-corner-of-paint-and-plasticard/page-2

The standard Delta from shapeways does the job just fine. I use it as an imp firespray.

Too bad on the named pilots, we'll have to find some new ones.

Rho group pilot? (I know, gunboat guys want it, but I'm convinced we should settle for Nu, leave Mu for the missileboat, and take some weapon name for the other generic. Also, I'm saving Eta for the Avenger, I think I remember some z-ETA avengers)

Then some cool callsigns, lets see...

"Janus"

"Chimera"?

"Sarlac"?

Any Star wars two headed monsters?
