What ships would you like to see in future waves?

By Lord Master Igneus, in X-Wing

I'm not going to bother asking the question in the title again, but here is what I would like to see. I'm not sure how they'd play or function so I'm mainly basing this on appearance and descriptions I've read.

Heres what I'd like to see:

TIE Hunter http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Hunter

TIE Opressor http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Oppressor

TIE Sentinel http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/TIE_Sentinel (it'd have turrets!)

Scimitar Assault Bomber http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Scimitar_assault_bomber

I can see more Bounty Hunter's ships being released for the Empire as well.

Anything and everything. More options are good. But spread it out to lengthen the gagamesgames lifespan.

Yes:

Rebels - T-Wing

Rebels - R-41 Starchaser

Imperials - Assault Gunboat

Imperials - TIE Avenger

No:

More bounty hunter ships masquerading as Imperials. They're not Imperials.

I had every ship I ever wanted a the end of wave 2. I am more excited about the new pilot abilities and upgrade cards from wave 3. Wave 4 did announce ships that I didn't know I wanted, but now I do. As for what is left to come out...

So many people are calling for the Star Wing Gunship, we will probably get it, but feels like an Imperial B-wing to me. Ordnance/Cannon/ maybe even a advanced systems. I will buy them if they come out, but I am not too excited.

We also need at least one Imperial Huge ship, my bet is it will be that ship from the new TV show Rebellion or Rebels or whatever. The one that can dock two TIEs under it. It looks pretty cool. I alone in the universe don't want a dagger shaped corvette sized ship. Imperial ships loose that awe factor that is so important to their coolness when they are the size of a corvette.

I am not sure what we will get for the Rebels. Maybe the X-wing Recon.

Actually they could add a whole recon themed wave, Y-wing Longprobe, X-Wing Recon, TIE Recon, and the TIE Scout. The TIE Scout might be a large based ship, but I think it is about the size of the HWK-290 so it could be small based too.

One think I would really like (especially with all the Phantoms out there) is a turret upgrade on an Imperial ship (but I don't know which one) I would also like another Turret upgrade option. Blaster Turret was such a disapointment.

All the above having been said, what I think FFG needs to do is just wait for the new movies and TV shows to introduce new ships. The way movie advertising works, we can probably get ships from the new movie as much as 6 months ahead of the movie.

No:

I couldn't agree more. And it's funny you should mention that...

I'd be quite happy if post Wave V and its two new large ships and the yet to be revealed Imperial huge ship(s), all we get are a bunch of aces packs and then a pause or lull. No need to keep bringing out new models indefinitely. Perhaps bring out a Clone Wars era version, or one based on the new movies. The last thing I want is it to become a never ending money pit for new models like GW has for their games.

Knowing when to stop is super important!

No:

But when the Imperials HIRE them for the game - then they are certainly working for them.... at least for a little while.

And for what I'd like to see:

Call me crazy but I'd like to see more Canon stuff - this means the Cloud Car from Bespin's Cloud City. Now I've not done a TON of research on these things, but they flew alongside the falcon and they had guns, guns that were significant enough to make Han take them seriously. And they were pretty far from any planet's surface - so I don't see why they couldn't operate in space.

I also want to see the Shuttle Tyderium. This might end up being a repainted lamda with rebel cards, such as bothan spies... or it could be a dual faction expansion that includes both rebel AND imperial versions of the ship, PLUS upgrades for both sides. I doubt we will see another shuttle though, because the demand for additional shuttles doesn't feel that high... so maybe we can get this stuff via some other expansion. I imagine it would be difficult to figure out a way to get ship specific cards like Chewbacca piloting the Tyderium, (and the Tyderium title) outside of an actual lambda ship box - maybe they will break with tradition and just give us those in some future "Battle of Endor" expansion.

I second the TIE Hunter, but would like to add Skipray blastboat, K-wing, Starviper (AKA Virago)

Bounty Hunter ships, Visago, Skipray Blast boat.

I like the following:

Tie Hunter

Tie Aggressor

Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing Assault Gunboat

If the ship doesn't look cool, it isn't complete and these three LOOK COOL!! :D

Anything third faction so I don't have to buy WonderWAAAGH a ship

I want this more than any specific ship. Now that the Outrider is down the pipe I am thoroughly satisfied with the ship diversity.

I do want to see a massive huge Imperial ship. I think epic movement template allows for some huge ships to navigate properly on the board. I would also like a Stealth-X. I know it's not the same type of stealth the Phantom uses, but mechanics over fluff in this is fine by me.

I really want mission packs, campaign guides, scenarios. upgrade card packs.

I mean, a 747 operates pretty far from the planets surface (or SR-71 if you want to get even further), I don't see why it couldn't operate in space.

Flying out of atmosphere requires a totally different propulsion system, not to mention life support, radiation shielding, etc. Even in Star Wars, there's plenty of stuff meant for only atmospheric flight.

Well we know that Human Airplanes require oxygen for the engines to function. So you actually DO know why it won't operate in space.

All we know about the cloud car is that it flew next to the falcon, and seemed to have the same type of engines that other ships had, IE we saw an X-Wing, the Falcon, a Lambda, and the Slave-1 all fly in that same area. Nothing from the films suggest that the ship is restricted to Tibana Gas clouds, or whatever.

I'd actually like to see the ARC-170, since the rebels used those after the clone wars, I could see a lot of cool things that could be done with that ship.

Are there any Imperial ships that are compatible with Astromechs?

The StarViper-class Attack Platform would be cool, also the Cloud Car for the lulz!

OK, to actually answer the question, I'd love to see the Imperials finally get the XG-1 Assault Gunboat. I wouldn't mind seeing the TIE Avenger as well, and maybe even the Skipray Blastboat.

The only Rebel ship I'm really interested in seeing now however is the YT-2000, straight outta X-Wing Alliance.

And I can't wait to find out what the Imperials will get on the epic scale....

All the ships listed on the 7,000 other threads asking the same question.

None of the ships listed on the 1,000 other threads asking the opposite question...or at least listed as do not wants on the want threads.

Yes:

Rebels - T-Wing

Rebels - R-41 Starchaser

Imperials - Assault Gunboat

Imperials - TIE Avenger

No:

Same here. In fact, I'm a little surprised we got the TIE Defender and Phantom before the Gunboat.

Ghtroc 720

Neutral faction. Firespray, YT-1300, etc. Z-95 and equivalent on the starfighter side. New named pilots as neutrals cannot use existing Imperial/Rebel. I suppose for tournament purposes, always 1 wave or more behind to balance mixed synegies with not having the new shiny stuff or simply have a restricted list (no E-wings, Phantoms, etc....)

I don't want any of those TIEs from the OP with one exception: The Scimitar. It seems less like a kitbash than the other examples.

I want to see the Assault Gunboat and the TIE Avenger. If FFG (or LFL?) is taking stock of whatever we say here I think it's safe to say these have been the most requested Imperial starfighters since Wave 4's release. I haven't heard anyone shooting these down, while I believe Im not alone in my opinion that the TIE Hunter seems rather silly (S-Foils on a TIE? please.)

I'd like to see the R-41 someday. I imagined it like a Y-Wing with a cannon slot. Maybe Base 3 attack too, but with an unforgiving dial and no astromech.

Pulsar Skate....

I had one in Star Wars Galaxies. ;P
