Looking for a low cost Empire ship that carries a Cannon?

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

Using the Expanded Universe and the like. Is there a low cost Tie ship that carries a cannon? Not including the Tie Defender.

The TIE Hunter came equipped with an ion cannon but I'm not sure if it could be switched out for something else. It's about the size of an Interceptor.

Tipperary, What do you call it?

That's one of the Experimental TIE Fighters although I'm not sure which Mark # it is.

Mk1 iirc.

Honestly if you want a cannon there's no good reason to go with a TIE variant over the gunboat.

Compatibility with tie only mods.

Of which there are... one?

It's not like the Gunboat would have a bad enough dial to really warrant Mk.II anyway, same for the Hunter.

Yeah it is called the Lambda Shuttle and it has the same point cost as an X-wing. ;)

OGP costs 1 point less than a Blue Squadron Pilot.

Generic shuttle as posted above. Or Tie defender, not so cheap.

Assault Gunboat

There's a whole thread devoted to the Gunboat.

I really wish people would move on from the gunboat. Big changes to the game are coming and it's never going to be one of them.

30 pages so far, and counting.

However, I should note at this point that I'm personally against the Gunboat having a cannon slot in any case. :P

Do you have a palantir or something to foresee the future?

Apparently so. And apparently the same thing has happened to him that happened to Saruman and Denethor when they checked in theirs...

Then why would it be called a gun boat?

Got kissed by a facehugger?

Put that away before the wrong person at ffg sees that.

Next thing you know it'll be in wave 9

^Gunboat with AGI2 is a little odd, but possible.

No way they'd print a ship with 5 native actions, though, and the Hunter's not super likely.

What fonts did you use for the lettering on these cards?

Looks like whatever font the StrangeEons module uses. It's spot-on for the pilot/ship/stat text, but the fluff/rules font is a bit off, plus having a super-thin bold that's nothing like the bold on FFG cards.

Of course the same thing was said about the K-wing ;)

The guy specifically asked for a TIE. Take your Gunboat pleas back to your dank dark Gunboat thread you goblins.

What do you consider low cost?

The TIE Hunter is more or less an X-Wing with 2 Lasers/2 Ion Cannons instead of 4 Lasers. So it would have a 2 attack and a Cannon slot in this game.

If you mean like a Scyk, I don't believe the Imperials have one that cheap.
