But...but.... Light CLAYMORE!!!!
What can go wrong with this???
No Prequel Ships Settled
(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.)
I hope for the sake of the women in your life that you understand just how bad this metaphor is.
Yeaah It was simpler before I kinda stopped playing 40K in 7th.
Still, happily married with 2 kids so don't take it too literally.
Also we'll be going to Halcon together as a TIE pilot + Ordo Hereticus inquisitor couple, and we'll look fantashtic.

That is the same camp that thinks the new S&V Boba is the weak part of Most Wanted... no good Bro.
That is he same mindset that kept Luke from raising his X-Wing out of the swamp... no good Bro.
Unlearn what you have learned...
Weren't people incredibly hyped and saying the same stiff when the teasers for phantom menace came out? If you get too hyped then it won't live up to your expectations.
P.S. Scum Boba is bad...

A Cautionary tale to be sure. I guess that is what i am partially referring to going back to 98/99.
I remember downloading the trailer to TPM on said network and watching it with my friends at the time. It was amazing.
Another fine example is the movie Fanboys. I find that movie sums up the pre new star wars movie feel perfectly.

Absolutely nothing.

Tell that to just about any jedi/sith that lost a saber battle because they had their hand chopped off.
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.
It's only when the "Prequel Ships WILL Come" threads start popping up. Because they won't.

I dunno, I probably shouldn't get all sensible and analytical about it. I just didn't think it looked right, but that's just taste.

I must have missed those ones, I've only seen (and started) "prequel ships could come (and I hope they do)" threads. It seems like some people, perhaps yourself, read into it more than in intended cos you have a preconception from previous arguments on the subject.

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.
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.
There's a difference between ships that were produced and used prior to GCW, and then used in the GCW, and the ships in the prequel movies, which were not used in the GCW.

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.
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.
New isn't always good. If you don't apply other qualifiers, this is what happens: http://goo.gl/W7N5rI

True. Until somebody makes something up and suddenly they were used in the GCW.

Already done in Legends Canon. see SWG both the game and trading cards, SWG has been used directly as an influence for XWM in several instances (Kath Scarlet, banana pirates, the syck and deci).
Ipso facto.

I see this thread has died as the argument has moved back to my old ARC-170 thread. I say we keep them both going, just to annoy the prequel ship haters!

Sure. Hold your breath for the canon to introduce the N-1 and ARC-170 into the GCW. Dive much?

That's some great selective copy and pasting there. Didn't said poster admit that that was in flippancy and not seriousness?

I don't see much point in antagonising, but there is still plenty to discuss about the ship. Like the pilots and their abilities.
Yeah, I was only joking about that. I just thought it was a shame that the resurrection of the other thread seemed to have killed this one, I was enjoying this one.
There we go.
Edited by DariusAPBYou're all freaking idiots.
I'm just kidding.
See how that goes?
Yeah, ones clearly more defined as aimed at insulting than the other.
I saw his comment as fairly deadpan and lampshading the inherent divisiveness of the subject.
Which is as it was intended.
To expand on this, let's go back to the posts about female gamers a few months back and how after a couple of serious threads a few joke threads came up. The first few it was a good joke. It would be entirely appropriate for fan wishing for the YT2000 and/or XG-1 to come up at some point for the same divisiveness that the community has on these ships. (I am pro XG-1, some hate it as it looks unimperial).
Edited by DariusAPBYes, the Internet is the ideal medium for deadpan. If only we could express emotions with grammatical keys so readers know we're not being serious.
Edit: And I don't believe he was kidding. He only said so after he was called out and realized he was in the wrong.
Edited by z0m4dCongratulations, you just summed up Satire as read in newspapers. This is not a new thing.
Edit edit: I dunno, I saw it as the lampshade he said it was. I make throwaway comments like that myself. When I do I usually see myself as channeling my inner Angus Deayton (if you ever watched have I got news for you, it was a great satire show in the 90s UK).
Edited by DariusAPBEdit: And I don't believe he was kidding. He only said so after he was called out and realized he was in the wrong.
Clearly I'm a fairly obnoxious person and a liar too.

From the horse's mouth.

I wasn't gonna say it but since he's admitting it now.
Come on chaps, are personal attacks really necessary to hold your argument?
