FFG designers work within a fairly narrow set of constraints. Figuring out where those constraints are flexible is part of the job, but typically they can't afford to think outside the box. In fact, they have to think carefully about the box, since manufacturing and shipping are two of the least flexible constraints.
I think, perhaps, that your words are falling upon deaf ears. You and I should converse more, my snicker-snacking friend. I think we'd both be much better served that way.
Lancers are classic, but that dungeon ship just looks brutal.

I imagine the dungeon ship next to the CR90 and with its contrasting big blocky front end it looks bad ass to me.
It would look really cool... that being said, the Ubrikkian yacht's still my vote. It's already seen use in video games as well as a command ship in a Scum v. Imperials fleet battle in The Hutt Gambit, and there's already two titles available for it (Star Jewel, Dragon Pearl).
I think you mean the Minstrel-class space yacht,
and I would agree because it does fit the game pretty well.
Three titles by the way, you missed the Imru Ootmian.

The Gozanti fits best in terms of size and 'coolness'. Always one of my favorites.
I think this version looks better than the imperial version. And I don't just mean the bold paint job.
Surprised at how the Gozanti is lagging.
I was thinking of closing the poll down since it's well over 100 votes
but it hasn't been three weeks, and thought maybe a whole month is fair.
I cast a vote for my Sentinel class corvette since FFG has opened the gate to new designs *L*

There are a variety of sites using that Loston Wallace image
for their own ship ideas. And I do like the size and armament,
but I doubt FFG would seriously consider a fan-made ship,
from one specific RPG community.
Besides, if they were going for an up-gunned CR90
they could have chosen an image that looked more like one.

I'm still holding out hope that the Gozanti becomes the Empire's 2 Epic point ship. There's just not that many decent Imperial alternatives in the smaller range, on the other hand there's at least 4-5 great options for Scum other than the Gozanti.
Doh. I didnt know there was already a Sentinel class corvette. Mine has twin triple guns and 8 single barrels. Plus an ion cannon and 2 ordnance launchers so definitely not as heavily armed

It's a cool ship, it's grown on me since having seen so much of it in Star Wars Rebels.
With three factions now, I think that it has three times the chance of getting in the game,
as I'm sure like every other ship that wasn't a kilometer long the Rebels got a hold of one.
My first choice for any faction would still be the DP20, as it out guns a CR90 even though it's smaller,
and I keep seeing it everywhere, like just minutes ago I spotted two in this video.

Aesthetics aside, why is "It's just like a CR-90, but with more guns!" a good argument for the DP-20 as an interesting, balanced addition to the game? And why does a DP-20 cameo in a Rebel fleet constitute an argument for bringing in the DP-20 as a Scum ship?

Only slightly considering you have more types and larger types.

There hadn't been any movement in the past couple of days,
so I decided to close the pole.
I'm glad I didn't force any choices on people.
It's makes for a much more interesting snap shot.
I wasn't surprised that the Minstrel-class space yacht
pulled ahead, but was surprised at by how much.
I don't think it needs any explanation, but the potential
for a card such as this spells out a good part of it:
• not to be used by anyone, especially trolls,
it is just an example of potential.
Edited by gabe69velasqueznot to be used by anyone, especially trolls,

Potential for what, exactly?
Crusader-class Gunship..................16% (37)
DP20 Corellian Gunship..................13% (30)
First off congrats on the well run poll and wow thirty votes for the DP20? Guess its a lot more popular then I thought and only seven votes behind the crusader that's nipping at its heels. Guess it might actually be a valid option.

The Corellian Gunship (aka DP20) may look like the little brother of the CR90,
but it's the tough one of the family. No one can say it's not popular,
as this video shows, the triple appearance speaks volumes:
Ships in video:
1x Nebulon B Frigate
2x Action VI Transports
2x GR-75 Medium Transports
3x DP20 Corellian Gunship
2x Z-95 Headhunters
5x Y-wings
1x "Rouge Shadow"

Okay, I'll ask again.

This small video did more service to Legends (and the old fans) than the whole SW Rebels 2 seasons... :/It's a cool ship, it's grown on me since having seen so much of it in Star Wars Rebels.

Ugh. It reminded me that Force Unleashed II exists. That's the opposite of fan service. At least Rebels has a storyline that makes sense (and isn't a complete rip off. That game had like, 4 hours of gameplay).
Two people voted for genital-class frigate!

Rebels could be a great vehicle to canonize and make familiar to the new public some great old Legends characters and vehicles. Well, it kind of does that sometimes, but other times it misses completely the point in its quest to add new toys for kids.
Imagine this:
Instead of those awful Miners Guild TIE Fighters, they could have used any of the many Scum starfighters from XW:A.
Instead of the hideous VCX-100, they could have used any ship of the YT-series.
Instead of yet another uninspired (Inquisitor's) TIE, they could have used any existing TIE variant, like the TIE Hunter, or even the Assault Gunboat.
Instead of the Hammerhead Cruiser, they could have used the DP20 or the Action VI.
Instead of the A-Wings as Rebel cannon folder, they could have used the Z95s.
Instead of the Blade-Wing "Stardestroyer laser", they could have used a B-Wing firing torpedoes.
Instead of lightsaber helicopters... well, that was the worst. They could have used anything different.
So much potential...
EDIT: I'm not defending The Force Unleashed II (a game I didn't even play), but only that small video clip.
