Look at Jabba; he's all Top Gun!

He's a post-narrativist. Attempting to impose a coherent framework on his collection of images and text is an instance of the tyranny of the logical mind in action; gabe's piece can only be truly experienced by letting go of your preconceived notions about the possibility of truly shared meaning and permitting yourself to perceive the discontinuous nature of our individually constructed realities.

It's self-explanatory to me, in the context, but I just put it out mainly as humor.

But after I posted it I remember the text that I used, and I thought OMG that would work for a third fraction not to have to "catch up to imperial and rebel releases" (paraphrase).

The text I add said Jabba could use any ship with the crew slot as an Imperial ship. Also added a droid slot and increase the modification limit to two, but that's neither here nor there. My point is they could produce a title card that allowed for any unnamed imperial or rebel ship to be used by say the Black Sun cartel, a criminal syndicate that would be an enemy of both Rebel and Imperial alike. Like a criminal organization wouldn't steal ships?

Oh, and you should have gotten the connection with the first two chart images, but if you didn't:

M3-A Scyk fighter...

Appearances:

Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed

Not meaning to be harsh buddie, just gathering the visual verification that a new faction or new Pirate/Hutt ships are coming, which for the people like us that care will consider these new ships as the base for a third faction.

The ship was used by Pirates not unlike Z-95 Headhunters and so forth.

Vorp, you're so right!!

I think I've just been Inceptioned. Yeah, that's a verb now.

It's exactly the opposite of "letting go" really if you think about it.

Seems to me like you are still sore, purposefully avoiding agreeing with anything I post.

What did you think of the syndicate title card idea I posted?

I don't think so, everyone here knows who Jabba is. The image has a lot of shared meaning.

Didn't he used to be a senator in the prequels and ended up exiled to Mustafar when Palpatine caught him embezzling? From what I remember, he swam fifteen meters of lava to escape, and that's why he looks like that.

I mean, I could be remembering it wrong here, but everyone else remembers Jabba's story, right?

Or... there is no 3rd faction because, there is no need of one, and we can finally stop this blather about it. what do you not get.. is it the part where the ships already in the game .. that would have been Perfect for a 3rd faction, are already assigned to the 2 side already.. logic dictates no 3rd faction..

I'm going to have me the biggest laugh when we get a third faction and people like Wonder and his pals quit X-Wing and we all live happily ever after.

You don't have to be inflammatory. I don't think anyone is going to quit over a third faction, we just disagree about the need or probability.

Posting 3 pictures of totally unrelated things and claiming it's self-explanatory seems somewhat, and by "somewhat" i mean extremely, bat pooddo.

Hey guys i found a bunch of star wars pictures so that must mean there's going to be a new faction.

If you look at the post preceding it and consider the theme of the thread,

it is self-explanatory. But I'll help you since you need help:

Oh, here's something to feed speculation: the ship on Intimidation.

Of course, ships being used on images aren't a hint, it is just art being reused from the LCG, but somehow people always jump to conclusions when they see a new ship.

...This ship in that card, comes from the this game...

("Appearances: Star Wars Galaxies: Jump to Lightspeed")

You don't know that. LOGIC actually dictates that there WILL be some sort of 3rd faction or pirate/hurt/bh ships spread out over our Rebel/Imperial factions. How do I know this? Because MONEY is what keeps FFG in business and not your opinions.

FFG would make the same (or similar) money making the same third faction ships you want, but as Rebel and Imperial instead as they've done so far.

This sounds like something I said a few posts up referring to some Syndicate Title cards, no?

It's been said many times, but the third faction die hards ignore it. I'm not even completely against a third faction, I just think it's necessary.

Smugglers and thugs in employ of the Hutt cartels or similar organizations loved the Scyk fighter for its essential traits of speed and maneuverability. In the hands of a skilled pilot the M3-A Scyk fighter was a deadly weapon. Pilots of the Black Sun learned this in the Battle of Tansarii Point Station in which many of them were killed by spacers hired by the Car'das authorities who were in charge of security aboard the station. The spacers flew a completely unmodified M3-A Scyk fighter, relying only on skills and maneuverability.

Food for thought, I don't really care either way.

As of yet, no card art has heralded in a new ship, it's just art. (I don't see any Preybirds out here yet)

As to Logic dictates. I disagree with the idea it leads to a 3rd faction, for reasons stated.. that is the logic. They already have 4 ships that should ahve been in such a faction, and they are distributed in the Rebs and imps. Also we have NEVER heard the company say it's coming or hinted at it, and I do not call card art hints. My reasoning being that not all ships have been included in card art.

This weekend will be full of anticipation, disappointment and cheer. Some of us will be happy for many reasons. So hold your 3rd faction angst for Sunday night when we will all know, by then, what came out this weekend. If I'm wrong, so be it, but I am confident I'm not, but I'm sure you won't see the logic behind this idea because you're confused about what logic is.

I may just make decals out of that and put it on all my ships.. every last one of them, then tell everyone I got the new faction.. lol.

Preybird-Class Starfighter?

That looks like a cool fighter...

(HLC + Concussion Missiles + Crew slot)

...which card is that you're referring to??

Logic,

And this goes for everyone here invoking the term.

(And I'm pretty sure I'm not being a post-narrativist here.)

They already have 4 ships that should ahve been in such a faction, and they are distributed in the Rebs and imps.

They don't really.

They wanted Han and Boba so to fit with the films they go to Rebs and Imps. I don't even know what the other 2 are but the fact that 4 ships already exist is a good thing anyway. 4 new + pilot cards for 4 existing makes 8 ships to draw from from the get go.

They do.. really.. Not all the ships in the respective Firespray and YT are 'Rebel' or 'Imp" 3 of the Firesprays are out right Pirate Slaver and Bounty hunter.. they don't all work for the Empire

YTs Firespray, indeed should have been in a smuggler/bounty hunter faction, and the HWK and the Z95 round out the 4 ships.

though to be fair, the Rebels did use Z95s before X wings, but they are a staple in pirate gangs and smugglers. (also Planetary defense forces too)

As for the Yevethan DD-types, Check out the Art on Etahn A'Bahts card (E-Wing) the 2 ships he's firing at are those

Edit to correct my mistake of ships.

As for the Preybirds, Check out the Art on Etahn A'Bahts card (E-Wing) the 2 ships he's firing at are preybirds.

Yevethan D-types, actually.

that's right My bad.. sorry

I can admit when I'm wrong.. though I could have sworn there were Preybirds somewhere.. maybe an upgrade card.. hmmmm

I thought so too, but the only reference to Preybirds actually being on a card that I can find has (Yevethan D) parenthesized after it(which it really doesn't even resemble that much).
