XG-1 "Star Wing" Assault Gunboat Thread

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

I'm thinking about buying a bill board here on the highway in Phoenix asking ffg to make the xg-1 assault gunboat for Xwing

Perhaps one in Roseville, MN would be more effective?

I'll chip in. Maybe we should set up a Kickstarter?

Marek Steele will be the only pilot to be in 3 Imperial ships.

You know, I would too. But only if we get a picture with Alex and Frank in front of it.

Campaign to release Stele for TIE Fighter, Interceptor and Bomber. Maarek Bomber would be crazy. Gunboat and Missile Boat Stele would be pretty fun as well.

They should do Farlander in X A and Y too.

He'll just end up in a K-wing given FFG's track record.

96 pages, seriously?

These guys really want the gunboat

That's an understatement... they REALLY REALLY REALLY want the Gunboat!

And DX9. And TIE Avenger.

But yes, the fact that the Gunboat isn't a TIE means I really want it.

Note. I still want a DX-9 more. Sorry, but a Gunboat isn't a Gunship.

Personally speaking, I'm tired of TIEs. I crave some variety in the Imperial Navy.

GUNBOAT!!!!!!!!!

I propose that FFG possible consider the Alpha class Xg-1 Starwing Assault Gunboat for inclusion as a future expansion in their TIE Fighter, I mean X-wing Miniatures game.

GUNBOAT!

What a myopic point of view.

But, since you brought it up, I'll clarify. I'm more than happy with the TIE Fighter (I should be, I have eight of them). I'm also delighted with the TIE Interceptor, the TIE Bomber and the TIE Defender (although a trifle concerned about that one, as I'll likely be playing against it more than I will be with it).

I can live with the Phantom (it's different, I suppose), and Vader's craft is of course iconic.

After that though? Thanks very much, but nope. I'd rather see something more aesthetically interesting that TIE NewColour or TIE AddAHull.

And I you're not down with that Princezilla, then you're posting in the wrong topic.

Atari Empire Strikes Back is still one of the greatest Star Wars games ever made.

The Lambda is a transport that is sometimes fitted to be a logistics ship and plays accordingly, it is not a Starfighter.

Which is the reason why Cygnus Spaceworks build the Star Wing, the lambda shuttle indeed is not a fighter. :)

Besides burn heretic Gecko, he said he does not want to have the Avenger. I got the stake, anyone got a light?

I have matches.

I'm actually with Princezilla on this, the Assault Gunboat doesn't feel like an imperial starfighter at all (in all canon sources, they're all TIEs). For a non-TIE design, I'd much rather have the Sentinel-class landing-craft.

Please don't kill me.
