I seriously want the TIE/ad Avenger and XG-1 Starwing in X-Wing.

Me too.

I mean, I don't want any Gunboats myself, but I want them to be in the game for those that do.

And so I can shoot them down...

Honestly, I don't even know why a ship has to have a "role", and why ships can't have similar roles, and just be different in terms of stat lines. Like it's been said, there is so much overlap in the game already, I don't see any merit to the idea that a new ship doesn't fit into X-Wing just because it is similar to another ship. Especially in a game that has 2 X-Wings and 2 TIE Fighters in it.

X-Wing has quite a few variables for differentiation. Stat lines and maneuver dials alone create differentiation. A 3 3 3 2 TIE Avenger with a decent number of greens and perhaps the Sloop is easily a different fighter than anything else in the Imperial inventory. Its point value and pilots will determine its "role" and how it fits into lists, the same way a Defender and an Interceptor are used differently.

I agree, this is very true. A 3 3 3 2 with a few greens a red k-turn and sloop would fit nicely. Just like a 2 2 4 2 with roll, target, and focus and a dial with red 3 banks and green sharp turns and a red k-turn would be good for gunboats.

Okay, with the Gunboat Mission Accomplished, this forum clearly needs a new multi-hundred-post pet project. Time to continue finishing the X-Wing Computer Game Collection. At the rate it took to get the Gunboat, we could have the Avenger by 2019.

Seems unlikely, especially with the TIE Silencer inevitably on its way. Much as I want it.

Nah then we also need the large base stormtrooper transport from those games too...

Also, those freighter things that were the 2 huge trapezoidal containers with a long 2x4 at the bottom holding them together. Stat them at [0 0 75 0] for 50 PTs and slow play it!
