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

EU (and hopefully soon in the Miniatures Game);

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

Eurostile LT Std (Condensed) for the ability text;

Eurostile LT Std (Oblique) for the fluff text;

EurostileObl-Normal for the title/modification upgrade header;

BankGothic Md BT for the name of the pilot/upgrade/ship.

Here you go. It has both a cannon and a turret.

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.

Then why would it be called a gun boat?

Missile Truck.

Also, has anyone ever modified a shuttle to look like a Gunboat?

At this point, I feel the Gunboat's chances of being put in the game are slim since FFG might be looking to start pulling from the new movies, tv series, and books. I mean just imagine what we might see in the new Anthology stuff.

Are you looking to throw 4 dice down range? Or the special abilities like the Mangler?

If you want a cheap shooter look at the generic Phantoms. 25 points for a barebones ship with 4 attack dice. Just slow roll it and try to stay at R3.

You can't really slow roll without a 1 forward. But otherwise it's an interesting idea, I don't think I've seen anyone do it.

Then why would it be called a gun boat?

Are you a knight? If not, why should you be called devotedknight?

Because that's it's name. It's really not that difficult.

Could quite possibly meet his requirements. But we'll have to wait a month to find out.

Yes:

...it's way too big, though; the Gunboat is shorter in length than an X-Wing. The XG-1 is a snubfighter.

ARC-170!

Also if they were going to bring it in, you'd think it would have taken the spot the Bomber+ has taken.

Why's that? The Assault Gunboat doesn't carry bombs.

Nah, the egg carton is a dedicated bomber, the Gunboat is way more than that.

it's a true multirole fighter like the X or Y wing.

Aah, right, I'm thinking of the missile boat aren't I?

Or am I? Does that carry bombs? Am I thinking of nothing in particular?

Maybe you're mad.

Nope - neither the Gunboat or Missile Boat used bombs (unless you count the ridiculous capital-ship-destroying Space Bombs which were fired like missiles in TIE Fighter). Neither did the Skipray Blastboat.

The Gunboat had two laser cannons, two ion cannons and two warhead launchers;

The Missile Boat had one laser cannon and four warhead launchers;

The Skipray had three ion cannons as it's main weapons, a dorsal turret and two warhead launchers.

Which is probably why we got the Punterdictor alongside the K-Wing in Wave 7 - Ion Bombs, Cluster Mines and Conner Nets, the Bombadier crew = lots of options for bombers and bombing.

Hmph. ARC-170s carried bombs. Yup. Loads of em. They did!
