No Prequel Ships Settled

By z0m4d, in X-Wing

Course, we were also told by FFG flat out

"no big ships". And we got the tantive

"Rebel and empire only" and we got scum

So as time God on, who knows what we will get. I still hold on hope for a star destroyer, who cares if we need a flatbed truck to move it... Or if it s a 6x3 game mat....

When did FFG make those declarations? Where can I see or hear it myself?

Wait, isn't this thread like five months old? Oh bug off! To blast with ye! They'll make what ever theys want you sees! :blink:

I resurrected this in response to a prequel thread resurrected. Yes, FFG will make whatever they want. The CEO said the game is the GCW going way forward.

Dude, you're getting really unreasonable about this. I mean this thread is yours, and it's all about how... ​fervent you are in your assertion that prequel ships will never appear.

It's really unbecoming.

Hopefully we'll never see prequel ships. Unfortunately, I still suspect we'll still see a "I WANT PREQUEL SHIPS!!!" post once a week. Sigh.

Personally, I wouldn't mind seeing prequel ships. They've had enough time to grow on me. But constantly reasserting that they won't be made will have zero impact on whether or not they'll be put into the game, regardless of how good your reasoning is.

You do nothing but push for prequel crap to be included don't try and come off all high and mighty.

You've only got to look at these forums to see how divisive the subject is adding clone wars ships to a game called x-wing will do nothing but harm the community and then the game.

Look at 40k and how unbound rules have sharply divided the players.

Why would it harm the community? Many of us can't stand unimaginative EU b******s that looks like a 12 year old "designed" (on in some cases, assembled it by accident after they broke their TIE Fighter) it, and their inclusion hasn't ruined the game or the community.

If some people are so selfish that the inclusion of a ship they don't like, which would make many people happy, would cause them to "harm the community and then the game" then I feel sorry for such people but shan't miss them.

I do nothing but push for "Prequel Crap"? Huh, I didn't know The Ghost, XG-1s, Missile Boats, YT-2000s, and other assorted vessels were from the prequel era. Go figure. Pardon me if I just like the idea of really varied ships like the N1 and the ARC-170, or perhaps even the ETA-2.

Like the YV-666 (really? I mean that's not a randomly chosen number. That's edgelordy as hell to pick. No pun intended.), or the Mist Hunter, or The god forsaken VONG. But aside from the Vong I'd be okay with those ships.

I'd begrudgingly _deal_ with The Vong but they really only have The Coralskipper. But it wouldn't make me leave the game.

I just really like variety, even if it's not variety I'm particularly fond of. Because it adds something new.

Absolutely - I have no objection to ships I can't stand being in the game, because they bring other people pleasure. I'm not that bothered about variety myself (I don't get to play enough - I already have loads of stuff I haven't had chance to try yet), but again - if it makes other people happy, then go for it.

I'd draw the line at the vong, but everything else has a place. The prequel ships, and other ships should be in the game. - even as uniques (as in 0-1 ship per list) they should still be possible.

Think of us fluffy people.

What if a bunch of clones seceded from the empire and didn't follow 66 (there is precedent) and instead acted like a galactic -A-team flying ARC's against empire targets? I totally had that for a RPG project idea once. it would be as cool as hell to fly this. It would be justified. it most importantly of all would be awesome.

I like some of the older stuff just fine, but I am pretty sure that FFG is going with the cool new stuff like a full range of E7 goodies. There are to many mixed feelings about prequel ships, while just about everyone is happy that all new STAR WARS content is coming over the foreseeable future.

Provide the new hotness, and avoid the old mess ... and that's what FFG is going to do, because they are smart.

:D

Though if they're really smart they'll sell the Episode VII ships now before people have seen the movie and can scream about how JJ Abrams ruined Star Wars more than the prequels ruined Star Wars.

Nah JJ is on point, and this is all going to be awesomeness.

:)

I believe in JJ for Star Wars.

I hope so too.

Yeah same here, he loves it even more than TREK. The new TREK is very cool and fun. WARS is going to be even better.

:D

I hope so too.

I am willing to bet my entire huge X-WING collection that the new films are going to be super badass. I follow the news and it is all coming together great.

:)

I want the new Star Wars to take me back to being the huge star wars nerd that I was in 1999 (Star Wars was my first girlfriend, when she got overweight and ugly in the 2000s I ditched her for my ex wife 40K, now that star wars is all sexy again I'm no longer with 40K and back to Star Wars - my first true love.) Can JJ Make the supercool star wars films that will take me back to before 1999, to the time I hosted Jedi knight LAN sessions on the college PC network, to the time I used to own everyone at the x-wing games. God I hope so.

I learnt to read Aurebesh yesterday.

the time I hosted Jedi knight LAN sessions on the college PC network

Your uni's network was fast enough for LAN gaming?!?

Hahaha This was back where individual rooms had their own closed networks, and I was a master at using computers compared to the guy they hired to maintain them.

Son, this wasn't TCP/IP. This was IPX.

I'd of been more optimistic about Jarjars starwars if i hadn't seen those two fracking terrible startrek films now all i'm hoping for is it's okay, i can settle for okay but i cant take another prequel trilogy without someone dying.

CGI is a tool not a rule... JJ knows that. It is gonna rock. Just the few moments in the teaser had classic HEARTFELT STAR WARS all up in it. You can be a poop and tri-bladed nerd rage all yea want, but that badass new badguy was super cool. Look at how he whams that **** medieval blazing red saber out. Look at that Falcon zooming all around!

:D

Hells-Yeas!

:lol:

I'm in the "tri-bladed nerd rage" camp - looks stupid, is stupid, in my opinion :(
