Punishing one

By Knucklesamwich, in X-Wing

With punishing one being introduced in armada along side the other EU ships we already have in our hands can we predict a wave 7 addition?!? If this is true the scum will be the best faction to play! The ESB bounty hunters all have named ships and I predict some really interesting abilities that can be explored with these guys! The scum is shaping up to be a real hoot!

More unsubstantiated theories! Another thread that never needed to be made because we have around 4 currently predicting wave 7!

Guess we should expect the nebulon b frigate in x-wing too, cuz hey, it's in Armada.

To be serious though, I'd love to see all the bounty hunters introduced to the game with their ships and everything. Whether that will come in wave 7 or wave 9, I don't care. Each wave should have something it brings to change things up and so far that's what each wave has done.

Well a Neb-b isn't a small ship so.....

OK...I have to ask. I read (listened to) the Bounty Hunter Wars. That's where Dengar helps Boba Fett, but the whole time, Dengar is a bit of a wimp. I have looked up his whole story. He was a racer who crashed and the Imperials built him back up to be a bounty hunter. He has to work for them to pay off his bills. I guess I don't get him much. I've never seen him be very competent. Am I missing something? Who cares about Dengar and his ship at all? Why was he even on the bridge with the other bounty hunters?

Because George Lucas did not know that someday somebody would write something about Dengar...

And he is Simon Pegg

I wondered the same. Just didn't bother to look up his backstory...though now that I've heard it, I'm not impressed.
I've read through the IG-88s story, though, and that one's pretty darn sweet. Curious as to what the deal is with other bounty hunters.

It does look pretty sweet next to a CR-90, though...

Mostly because his ship looks boss.

Really!? I just... I don't see the appeal of this thing.

You are not alone.

To each their own. I personally like it. I am excited for Wave 7.

I want access to all those bounty hunters ships, they all have sweet rides!

Well said. But don't mind if I'm pulling for the Skipray Blastboat!

I'd love to see that too!

I want the assault gunboat from the Xwing pic games.

Dengar and his ship look boss. His story is a little weak but if you read tales of the bounty hunters he throws a dude off a cliff and shoots him while a grenade goes off in his mouth in the first couple pages. If that isn't BA I don't know what is.

It's not a terribly impressive ship, but part of that is the man flying it.

Who is really just not that impressive.

We ALL* want the Assault Gunboat from the X-Wing PC games.

* "all" in this instance refers to XG-1 Star Wing Assault Gunboat fans**

** approximately 99% of the forum.

Maybe FFG will hear us eventually!

I'll have to check out that story. It's not an audio book, so I haven't read it yet. :) More time for audio books.

OK...while the character was rather wimpy in the one book series I read, he was supposedly a professional racer before his accident. So, you have to think he's a good pilot. Maybe he's a better pilot than a killer?

As for Dengar, I wouldn't be averse to seeing the Punishing One. Might be interesting to have a large base ship with both the turret upgrade and salvaged astromech upgrade slots. Kind of like a big, horseshoe-shaped Y-Wing.

Also opens up the possibility of new turret upgrades as well... Mangler Turret, anyone? Flechette Turret?
