XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

Defender=Gunboat

Punisher=Missile Boat

The position has been filled

Hardly. The Gunboat is more sluggish than that.

And though sluggish and without a SLAM, tbh the Punisher is almost right.

>Fresh take on The Decimator
>Fury

This is cool

Not sure what that has to do with the Gunboat, but yes, it is.

I still want to see a Decimator with the Raider's solar panels though.

I'm re-reading this thread from the beginning and seems like I missed out on lots of fun.

Would have loved to participate more in this fan-based cooperation.

Let's just hope that FFG will finally satisfy our requests.

Gunboat could do the Linked cannons idea, but in a different manner.

Cannon slot:

Linked Cannons

XG-1 only

When resolving a primary weapon attack, if that attack hit, the defender also recieves an Ion token.

GUNBOAT at 60 (pages). FFG fixes Defender with Mk II and Imp Vets. Tractor beam coming soon, Mag Pulse is canon.

All signs point to slightly increased chance of GUNBOAT becoming real. Chances also indicate GUNBOAT likely won't be the same ship we remember, if FFG Defender is the gauge.

It still looks like the wreckage of a GUNBOAT on that derelict ISD in TFA.

Best chance for the Gunboat now is for it to appear in either Rebels or Rogue One. Both fiot the timescale for the Assault Gunboat's deployment, but of the two, Rebels is probably the most likely (as it continues to introduce material and ships from the EU).

This isn't to say that FFG won't produce ships that don't appear on screen; just that those that do appear on screen are pretty much odds on to get released at some point. The Immobilizer-418 Cruiser appearing in Rebels now seem to make it a nailed on cert for Armada, if it wasn't already.

Hoping for the Gunboat in a movie is like hoping to win the lottery.

Hoping FFG runs out of TIEs and makes the gunboat seems so much more possible. It's possibly one of the most scorned popular ships by creators ever.

Hopefully it won't.

But FFG is already running out of material.

I rejoice whenever I see this thread up on the front.

On the other hand I saw TFA again two days ago and tried to spot that wrecked assault gunboat inside the star destroyer at the beginning...

Not quite sure about it folks.

After Imperial Aces 2 comes out I would expect the tie special forces then probably something from REBELS the cartoon for imperials. There are more small imp ships in that series that would fit.

Come on rebels cartoon old buddy don't let us down!

I dunno, I saw it three times and it's hard to tell what it is, but it still looks fairly GUNBOATy to me

How would you tell if it's more Gunboaty than Lambdy Shuttley ?

They seez something they presume it's Gunboat

There were some still/gamma corrected images of the scene posted a couple of pages back, with the important bits highlighted. I'm not convinced, and even if it was an XG-1 a crashed ship easter egg still amounts to little more than wishful thinking.

It was interesting to see pretty much all the trailers for Force Awakens featuring destroyed tech from the original films, (crashed Star Destroyers, X-Wings, AT-ATs etc..)

  • Extra Munitions
  • XX-23 Thread Tracers
  • Long Range Scanners
  • Guidance Chi(m)ps

As an ordnance carrier, an Assault Gunboat expanson would be a perfect way to increase the circulation of all pretty much of these cards. Come on Wave 9!

Better than the original.

Played Tie Fighter Special Edition yesterday... *sniff* it's so good to fly the good old Gunboat thing.

I've been holding out hope that FFG would give us the Assault Gunboat and the Missile Boat, but I just couldn't wait any longer! (I still hope we get them!)

The main problem with these 2 ships is the discreprency between the size and payloads of these ships. These things are supposed to carry 40 concussion missiles each.... On a small ship....

Ugh no Assault Gunboat and the Missile Boat. Please stop. I wish the Mods would delete this thread.

But Opinions are so cool.

Just like my opinion that your opinion is flat out rude and wrong.

WOW. this tread has been going since June 14, 2014! FFG PLEASE LISTEN TO OUR NEEDs, and TAKE OUR MONEY!

If they made a gunboat, missile boat and avenger... I'd buy 3-4 of each.

Please make them. I'll buy the plastic crack.
