New ship designs

By ldodt, in X-Wing

I would push for the dune lizard and Krayt/Kamigola to go with the Syck. A personal Luxury Yatch 3000 with one card for each faction could also be interesting. Maybe round out the bounty hunter's ships with a YV-666/Hounds tooth, G-1A/Mist Hunter and Jumpmaster 5000/Punishing one, but only the YV is really cool. Lastly the YT-2000.

Basically I would expect more scum waves but not a lot more rebel/imp waves. Those forces will be getting more Aramda for a while I would guess.

I would take the Yt-1930 over the yt-2000.

FFG could also take the ships that they have released and give a different version/variant/model of existing ships. Same ships but with different upgrades on the upgrade bar.

Too many saucer ships. YV-330 where?

Its also how we ended up with alot of the other ships like the defender, decimator and yt-2400. Sure there's alot of eu ships but how many would you really want to go out and buy?

You mean the awesome Defender, Decimator, and YT-2400, right? I'm not gonna lie: I had wanted a Tie Defender and E-Wing since Wave 1. A buddy of mine, when told about this game, his very first question was "Can I play as Dash Rendar?!"

There are a _lot_ of people for whom Star Wars is more about the EU stuff than about the Lucas stuff.

A lot actually. I'm hoping for:

Tie Avenger

Sentinel Assault Shuttle

Star Wing Assault Gunship

Tie Aggressor

Tie Drone

Cloakshape Ships

Skipray Blast Boats

Action VI transport

YT-2000

XJ-wing

A-9 Interceptor

Delta Escort Shuttle

V-Wing

All of this I would prefer to buy over a new creation.

Same here Star Brothers... cept for that ugly ass vacuum thingie you guys keep loving on.

:D

Yup... what the general fans saw in the movies ain't much.

We know the rest of the story.

Awesome is far to weak of a word. I supose what im getting at is that many great games and books and other things have added to the starwars eu. Tie fighter gave us the avenger and the defender, dark forces gave us the crow, shadows of the empire gave us Dash and his yt-2400. One could argue that even Galaxies jump to lightspeed is responsible largely for the people wanting the scum faction when without it we wouldn't have seen such a huge demand for it.

I know FFG will want to stick hard to the source material and probbly alot harder then most game developers would, and I know I'm contradict myself by saying I think its great that their genraly so strict on sticking to their source. But in ten or twenty years time what ships will look back on and think thats the awesome ship from the x-wing minatures game, that game is awesome.

I think if any game in the past 30 odd years deserves the right to add their own iconic ship to the star wars eu its this game of plastic toy ships and cardboard.

For as much as a certain group likes to deride the EU Star Wars would have been long forgotten without it. Until recently it didn't have shows like Star Trek adding life to the series. Without the games, novels and comics the fan base would have lost interest long ago.

Considering what FFG has and with upcoming releases will do for the Star Wars franchise, not only should they get their own design of a ship put into the lore, it should get their name on it too. The Fantasy Flier? 10/10 would buy

Would it be a ship designed to hold intergalatic tounraments of Dejarik and Pazaak as it crusies about the cosmos?
