Source Material for Expansions/What do you want in Expansions?

By FalsifiedHero, in X-Wing

Everything from Tie Fighter (Avenger, gunboat, missile boat, T-wing, R-41, support craft like the stormtrooper transport ect.)

Bounty hunter ships from Shadows of the Empire

Tie variants from the old Star Wars pencil and paper RPG

(Scout, fc, gt, recon/vanguard from ccg)

Gozanti from clone wars/rebels ( with a blue Tie, as someone mentioned above)

I would love to see imperial v-wings with a later scum repaint, as well as imperial versions of most of the clone wars ships (vader in eta-2!). Imperial y-wings and s-95s! Of course those would need to be slightly remodeled to reflect the ones from the shows.

Most other sources seem to have ships that didn't go far enough in the design phase to look 'finished'.

Oh and gratuitous assault gunboat stats:

2

1

4

4

Missile x 2, cannon

Title that adds system upgrade, tractor beam system upgrade included in box. (Removes an evade token or evade result when attacking in arc, range 1-2)

Cost of 20 for lowest ps pilot? Ace pilots able to use shield tokens to increase firepower or to boost.

Since I can't wait for anything I'm already flying 6 Assault Gunboats by Mel from Shapeways. Ditto for the Avenger.

I would love to see:

  • The Action VI transport (aka Wild Karrde). I suspect this would be an epic-sized Scum ship. It is referenced in a great number of the novels, and appears in several of the RPG guidebooks.
  • The Baudo-class star yacht (aka Pulsar Skate). FFG could have fun with this one by putting Rebel (Mirax Terrik) and Scum (Booster Terrik) pilots in the same blister pack.
  • The XG-1 Star Wing. Well known from both X-Wing and TIE Figher on PC, I'm a little baffled as to why we haven't seen this ship already.
  • The Skipray Blastboat. I suspect this would appear as a large base ship. It should definitely come with Scum pilots (Mara Jade?) but might also come with Imperial pilots as well.

The avenger tempts me no end, I may have to given in because I also want the armarda defenders someone's done.

I'd guess Skipray would be 3 attack turret, one torp, two missile, 3 crew. Not sure what Hull/Shield/Agility should be.

EDIT: Maybe a two attack turret.

Obviously a Large Ship

2 cannon slots with an upgrade that takes two cannons (triple ion cannon, 4 attack range 1-3, gives 1 damage and 2 ions),2 attack primary turret, two torpedoes, two crew, system. Scum version would have illicit slot.

Stats: 2 attack (as above), 1 agility, 5 hull, 4 shields

Actions: focus, target lock

I really just want Rebels right now.

I still want The Clone Wars but people keep saying FFG said prequel era stuff isn't happening. I've never actually seen the source for that so I don't how true that is.

But Rebels would still be awesome. Even if it's just the Ghost and nothing else (since we really haven't seen much else there).

I certainly hope it is true. Decipher made the (egregious) error of allowing prequel material to co-exist with original trilogy stuff in the old Star Wars CCG and it was a complete train wreck.

I LOVE that Mirax/ Booster idea. High five!

Tie Advanced V1 with Inquisitor. It could have the Tie fighter dial with stats like the x1. Also a new tracking device missile that acts like a target lock and denies use of evade tokens if it hits. New tracking token!

Not as bad as Opperatives. But yeah having a side deck of 10 or so cards to counter all the crap from Epi 1 that they just came out with was pretty lame. They never recovered. Otherwise that was an AWESOME game, of which I consider X wing minis to be a spirtuL successor.

ASSAULT GUNBOAT

No.
Or Yes.
No.
Why? At least when I give a one word answer I give an explanation...especially if I need to give said one word answer a second time...It still looks nicer than the hideous star viper so many were peeing their pants over not too long ago...it actually looks like it belongs...
I did, see above.And no it doesn't. The StarViper looks Star Warsy, the Assault Gunboat is a hideous looking thing.

you would rather see jar jar? The shuttle is overrated? You don't like the missile boat? That is your response? That's not really telling me why you think what you think...

Though your comment about the star viper is much more revealing...and makes me severely question your ideas on what constitutes a proper looking star wars ship.

my issues with the space mosquito are well known and documented and I don't really want to go into them again...

I'll just leave it with the fact that you and me won't agree on this...your taste is too out of sync with mine...

The Missile Boat just looks stupid, and the Assault Gunboat looks like a squashed lambda with giant missile launchers.

I guess if you like squashed lambdas with to many wings, that's your choice, but don't complain then if I like StarVipers, Interdictors, and K-wings.

1) Star Jewel

2) Scum, Rebel, or Imperial DP20 Gunship. Three titles maybe.

3) An aces pack for the X-wing and Y-wing, with multiple titles:

Doole's Defense Fleet http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Doole

is an example of pirates using Imperial ships.

  • TIE/LN starfighters
  • TIE/In interceptors

What about Wraiths and Defender Wing?

Sorry I used this list:

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Category:Rebel_Alliance_starfighter_squadrons

No Wraiths or Defender on it.

Well Defender Wing is really 3 Y-wing Squadrons, Warden, Champion, Aggressor.

What do you think of an Aces pack that has a dozen titles or more?

Must. Have. Now.

Must. Have. Now.

problem is one title means only one ship. They'd have to three of each (36)

or better still have a new type of "Squadron Title" that covers several ships.

We've already got non-unique titles but you do have to equip to each ship. The ones that come to mind are all free, in fact (BTL-A4, Royal Guard TIE, A-Wing Test Pilot).

A squad title would be cool, though. Just an extra 5-10 points that does something to the entire squad would be a sweet thing to have.

I don't think I want TCW era fighters as they were in the original series. I think the Y-Wing and Z95 are good examples of how to handle it. They aren't the best fighters like what they used to be but they can still be put to a purpose. Problem I see is a bit of overlap with existing ships. N-1 is a lot like a Z-95 but with an astro and torp slot instead. ARC-170 is like a really heavy X-Wing with a bit of Y-Wing thrown in. V-Wing is a weird TIE fighter. The two jedi starfighters aren't worth a flip without jedi to pilot them (save for a few sources where clones also flew ETA-2 Actis). The V-19 is also a weird TIE fighter, basically. And of course, they're all older fighters and so should be weaker compared to the IV-VI era. And the question then is what factions do they go in anyway?

The other way to do it would be a separate format... I don't really like that idea because then you've got a fragmented game where some want to play TCW and some want to play the OT era. I think the only way they show up is within one of three existing factions. It would be a larger possibility if we see some of those ships show up somewhere closer to that era, such as in Rebels.

So, yeah... I'll just keep thinking about it as a pet project for myself sometime in the future when I've got time for such nonsense.

I mean they'd have to include more than one of each in the pack or you would be buying a half dozen aces packs for more than one card. A squad title that covers all ships of that type in the build would be my "must have now."

Well, that is actually LFL's fault, not Decipher's. They didn't exactly get a choice in the matter.
