XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

FFG is prolly never going to make the other Large Base EU ships. :angry:

Oh, come on Joe. You know that ain't true.

You'll get your big Hutt beasties eventually. And a Scum Dustbuster to go with them.

But I ain't holding my breath waitin for 'em!

:lol:

My brother is waiting to join this game until they bring the Otana to the Scum faction. So there are people holding their breath. :)

That is awful specific if you consider that Ace Azzameen fought for the Alliance at Endor and the Otana was used for evac of the Hoth base at the battle of Hoth. Thomas and Galin were both killed in action when delivering bacta for the Alliance as well, it is really hard to not count the Otana as a Rebel vessel. Besides that the YT-2000 would be sweet model even when another corillian freighter sounds rather redundant.

On top of that we already have Emon Azzameen's Andrasta in the game. And yes, you can fly it as scum, not as rebel unfortunately.

"Faith in FFG, that they will deliver."

Reminds me of the prank call joke; phone Dominos and ask for a large pizza with bacon, onions and liver. When they say "we don't do liver" tell them that that's not what their menu says...

The Otana would actually push me to play a few games as scum.

But if they say, "We don't have liver," do you just pause for an awkward silence and then hang up?

"Uh, look, I'll level with you mister, this is a crank call that sort of backfired, and I'd like to bail out right now."

"They ARE Coming..."

:ph34r:

I'd love to see this have the Talon Roll The first Imperial ship with one.

Oh I hope FFG makes this one day!

Nah that'll be on the avenger when it arrives.

So this thread apparently started on June 14th, 2014. . .

Reckon we can get it to two years without the gunboat? If I was FFG, I would actually release an article celebrating the two years of dedication to a ship that just is not going to arrive in the this game at this stage.

Or maybe it will. . with the Havoc. . Wave 10. BIG GAME HUNTERS.

gunboat for imps and rebels would be nice, although i dont play rebels :)

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.

Oh dare to dream, dare to dream.

Never give up, never surrender.

GUNBOAT!

I agree. Together with a Talon 3 and Segnor Loop 3 and K5 and K3, and it's own version of the TIE/x7 title. 3/3/2/2 stats and F, TL, BR or boost.

Something like this would be perfectly fine. Time to print this sucker and play test it :)

When Gunboat thread reaches 100 pages Gunboat will arrive. Then we start the Avenger or Missile Boat thread.

Or DX-9 thread..

Or Delta class escort shuttle.

I feel like the DX-9 and Delta-class have more to offer the game than the Avenger or Missile Boat. The Avenger is really just a shielded FTL Interceptor and the Missile Boat is super overpowered in a way that doesn't translate well to this game's mechanics.

Avenger could introduce the Imperial T-roll, or at least sloops.

Missile boat could introduce a starfighter based infinite warhead mechanic.

You know what, those are excellent points. I'd be okay with both.

The Avenger was pretty ludicrously fast, red TRolls and SLoops on the dial would be great, plus maybe all green 3s. Possibly even the first ship to eschew 1-Speed manoeuvres completely!

The Missile Boat would need something pretty restrictive for unlimited warheads though. Either a prohibitive slot requirement (Missile + Torp like LRS is pretty good) or even an ordnance cost cap (sort of like the TIE/D title; maybe you can equip one Missile under 5 points and use it in lieu of a Primary?).

I know what will happen, we will hit 100 pages and it will be released . . . in Armada. . .

Problems with u-boats?

Well the Gunboat now does have some precedent with FFG, it is in one ofthe Scum and Villainy rpg books. And is mentioned as a Impeiral patrol vessel.

People have been going about this all wrong. .

Remember the stink people kicked off about the intentional draw ruling which managed to get not one but two replies from FFG addresses its detrimental impact on the game? Well where is the uproar for lack of Star Wing in the game and its detrimental impact on the game as a whole?

A 'Star Wing is Coming' announcement would have fixed IDs. Also Uboats, Palpaces, turrets Phantoms (retroactively), Paul Heaver et al, etc.

Mr Victus106, the hope for the Gunboat has been here for a long, long time...

Yep, the Gunboat's appearance (and artwork) in Edge Of The Empire certainly gives us hope...
