Pretty sure FoC didn't have cloakshapes, and Aggressors are a little big.
Something I noticed about the EU ships released.

Must've been thinking XWA for Cloakshapes. There's several Aggressors, I should have specified the Trilon(IG-88's ship) rather than the Zann capship.
Maybe they use market research to decide which ships to release. I could see a pack of interns reading through forums like this one, taking notes on what's mentioned and how much desire or dislike there is for each ship mentioned. Every ship released since wave 1 has had a post up here before it came out.

Probably because pretty much everything FFG has done since wave 1 has been fairly predictable. For example, everyone knew that the z-95 was coming as soon as it was confirmed that FFG's license allows them to include EU ships. So having a thread about "do you think FFG should make a z-95" doesn't really mean very much beyond the fact that people are capable of seeing the obvious and posting about it.
Edited by iPeregrineMaybe, but things seem much more obvious after the fact.
Technically the Outrider is canon since it shows up briefly in the sky over Mos Eisley in the ANH SE.
Actually, does the E-Wing make an appearance in the first Rogue Squadron for the N64? I can't remember...
It was the V-Wing that made an appearance in N64 Rogue Squadron
"Burnout on cannon one burnout on cannon two, hold on my blasters are still cooling!" I loved that game so much growing up. I put so much time into it and got gold on every single mission.
It should be pretty clear by now that FFG's X-Wing developers /are / were fans of the original X-Wing PC games. After all, the miniatures games shares the name and attempts to emulate the combat.
Keyan Farlander was the protagonist of the original X-Wing Series.
Maarek Steele was his Imperial counterpart in TIE Fighter, and the TIE Defender made it's first appearance in that game as well...
I imagine it's only a matter of time before we see Imperial Assault Gunboats, the TIE Avenger... the Azzameens and the Otana,..
The origins of these craft can be looked up in Wookieepedia.
The TIE Defender is also from the TIE Fighter game, but was judged to be over-the-top for X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter. I wish that FFG would have taken that as a hint, but oh well.
Yes, they do seem to plumb the video games more than other sources. I understand that, and am glad that we got the Z-95 regardless.
Because the TIE Defender is so overpowered in X-wing Miniatures, right?

It's still worth a shot...
Missile Boat, missile boat, Missile Boat!
Missile Boat, missile boat, Missile Boat!
Everyone come chant with me!
Missile boat!
Missile boat!
Any ship which isn't from Tie fighter, it is from SWG.

Except for the Tie Phantom, YT-2400, E-Wing, and HWK.
Edited by AverageBossI dug through the SW:Card game cards (which is quite a fun game btw) as FFG re-uses art for both X-wing and SW:TCG. I found these that, IF there was a third faction, it could possibly include some of these
and whatever ship this is:
As far as the card game goes though, the expansions have been focusing around the original movies. There is one expansion where they introduce Jedi Knight (the game) stuff, such as:
Well if this theory is correct..... We have to get StealthXs and Chiss Clawcrafts into a game!!!
Here's hoping they eventually start to draw from the Bioware Star Wars material...

Clawcrafts I could get behind. A slow but hypermaneuverable ship would be pretty cool.
