Next Fighter packs

By DScipio, in Star Wars: Armada

What do you want and what do you expect from next fighter packs?

Want:

Transport Set:

Lambda Shuttle x8

Delta-class JV-7 Escort shuttles x2

Delta-class DX-9 Stromtrooper transportx6

Gamma-class ATR-6 Assault transportx2

Beta-class ETR-3 Assault transportx1

Imperial Set:

TIE-Avenger x6

Xg-1 (Assualt Gunboat) x6

TIE-Defender x3

TIE-Phantom x3

Missle Boat x3

TIE-Heavy Bomber x3

Rebel(,) Scum and Pirate Set:

Z-95 x9

T-Wing x6

R-41 x3

Y-Long Probe x2

V-Wing x6

But I expect to get the very unintertesting New Republic Fighters (E-Wing, K-Wing) first. :(

Most likely stuff from X-wing that is not in Armada. So yes E-wings more Z-95s. I don't know how many squadrons of Tie Phantoms Tiedefenders and lets not forget about Wave 7.

For the Alliance, I'd guess 2x E-Wing, 2x K-Wing, 4x Z-95. For the Empire 2x Defender, 2x Phantom, 2x Punisher, 1x Decimator, 1x Lambda. Be interesting to see how they'd do a rule for cloaking with squadrons. Maybe generics with the Scatter defense token? Everything else is pretty straight forward.

The better question is if there is currently enough room in the distribution of squadron stats to accommodate new fighter types? In other words, how different can you make various squadrons with only Hull, Speed, Anti-Squadron, and Battery dice to work with as differentiating factors, all of which operate in a very narrow band between minimum and maximum values. You would need to rely on Special Effects like Counter 2, Escort, etc to facilitate their distinctions, lest we end up with multiple squadron types represented by the same stats and abilities.

I want Defenders more than I want to continue breathing.

Prepare yourselves...Counter 4 is coming.

I feel the same about Phantoms. Been my favorite TIE since 97.

I'm sure Lord Vader can assist you with that.

While new ships would be cool I wouldn't mind a release of the Wave 1 fighters with new aces, I know I'd buy it.

I thought V-wings were land speeders?

Air speeders yes, but that was before the prequel trilogy which brought us those V-Wing interceptors you see at the very end of Revenge of the Sith.

If TIE Defenders and Phantoms are considered next, I don't see FFG doing seperated fighter packs. I'm guessing an "Advanced fighter" pack will give us those craft, possibly the Decimator, against the E-Wing, K-Wing, and something else?
