Once per round, when defending, you may cancel all your green dice results and add 1 [ EVADE icon] for each die canceled this way

you can hit every molecule around the ship, but not the ship itself
3 attack? it should be 2 (making it much cheaper).
I could see them at 10-11pts PS1, but multibase is meh, the "canon" 3.5m number is off even at a cursory glance.
I actually love the ETA-2 (and ARC-170) about as much as any other ships in Star Wars, but I don't really see them fitting in with the game.
I definitely wouldn't complain if they put them in, though. More ships, more better!

Nah, I did my research, "...dual laser cannons(2)" is definitely not ATK2, plus I wanted to differentiate it from the ATK2+cannon Eta-2.
Keep in mind it's paying for PS as well, the generic is 18pts.

Definitely. Look at vultures in "walker mode" and then they are suddenly shrunk down to the size of a pickup?
I'm not loving multibase but it could really make them feel dynamic and swarms of FFG did the details right (and they usually do).

Two attack, Jedi fighters didn't have shields either they were reliant on the force to keep them safe.
So all your adding is a tie fighter and we already have those.

5-6m probably, I'm not sure if TCW Vultures(which there are some good reference shots for) had any size differences.
My guess is someone measured just the length standing.

See above post re: attack. The Aethersprite /does/ have shields as per Complete Cross-Sections.
I love the clone wars part of those movies, but much of the movie suffered from other parts (god damned gungans)
I would welcome the ships from the clone wars, the problem would be factions. First, all the clones ships have a very rebel alliance feel to them. First they are brightly painted, second they don't have the traditional tie fins things. I think the animated series even has Troopers flying What appears to be Y wings. The problem is, five years later these guys are the storm troopers.
The sepritist ships (droids for anyone who hates I II and III too much to remember) are the forces being controlled by the dark side, but that doesn't really make them buddy buddy with the empire. The empire was litterally created the day they where defeated. So it doesn't really work. They also can't ally with the rebels, cause they still hate everything.
TFA doesn't really need the retitleing of the factions. You add some tie/fo's to your force, easy plot device is that your using some new stuff with some of the older. But how the hell do you tie in those other ships... Idk. Is still play em though.
Good point on wedge findin obi's ship, that makes it usable in the current setting. They likely woult because there got all kinds of new ships to do now. Also if they make it in the current setting it will clash with any attempt to create it in the clone wars era should they ever go back.
Based on his "Flying is for droids" remarks, I'd make Obi-Wan PS 6. And he needs a droid that grants an evade ability to "Jettison the spare parts".
costing nowhere near final
Very cool. Probably 1 point, max.

Yeah, the text is from before we got Integrated Astromech spoiled, a lot of my costing errs to caution a bit.

I'm gonna take your word on that then but i thought i'd read they were unshielded.
The Ships are cool. But I do not know that FFG will ever make them. Chris stated that FFG & Dat Mouse are discussing what to do in the near future as X-Wing grows... dunno.
BUT... a lot is going to happen in the coming years and one day we might see some of these ships... maybe.
The Eta-2 Actis is definitely unshielded (same source, too), maybe that's where you got it?

very possible.
A starfighter I would like to suggest as a future expansion is the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, also known as the Jedi Starfighter.
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Delta-7_Aethersprite-class_light_interceptor
The fighter first appeared in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones piloted by Obi-Wan Kenobi which he used to pursue Jango Fett with to Geonosis.
During the Galactic Civil War which the X-Wing Miniatures Game is set, Obi-Wan's Jedi Starfighter was later found by Wedge Antilles after crash landing on the planet and then piloted by him. He used it to destroy Imperial Forces in space before finding the ship's hyperdrive ring and presumably piloting it back to the Rebel Alliance.

Let me just stop you right there. You do not speak for everyone.
However, I agree that Prequel ships dont belong here. Honestly, I don't really think TFA ones do, either.
"don't count as people"
Good DAY, sir.

I like it. The only issue is that it's a bit weird to have a Jedi Starfighter with no Jedi to pilot it, but maybe Ahsoka Tano will pilot one in the Rebels series.
I would welcome the ships from the clone wars, the problem would be factions. First, all the clones ships have a very rebel alliance feel to them. First they are brightly painted, second they don't have the traditional tie fins things. I think the animated series even has Troopers flying What appears to be Y wings. The problem is, five years later these guys are the storm troopers.
The big exception to this rule is the ETA-2 Jedi Interceptor, which is clearly the ancestor of the TIE fighter with the solar panels and the front of the cock pit.

Many of the old Republic and CIS ships and vehicles were still used by the time of the Galactic Civil War by both the Rebel Alliance and Galactic Empire, even still by the time of the Imperial Remnant. I believe that if we were to incorporate any Prequel era ships, they should only be ones that were present during any media set during the time of the Galactic Empire and beyond.
The Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing star fighter is another ship that could be introduced for use with the Galactic Empire as they were used during their early years and later by the Imperial Remnant.

I wonder then how Wedge was able to properly pilot one, unless they don't necessarily have a huge advantage when piloted by a force user?I like it. The only issue is that it's a bit weird to have a Jedi Starfighter with no Jedi to pilot it, but maybe Ahsoka Tano will pilot one in the Rebels series.

I don't think the force is required to pilot the ship, but it's just a bit odd to lack a Jedi pilot since the most common name used for it is "Jedi Starfighter".

I guess they could have a Jedi pilot for the ship. They could have Ahsoka as a possible pilot. Also apart from Luke, there were a couple of other Jedi who served the Rebel Alliance that could pilot it. One Jedi that comes to mind who could definitely be included with it is Rachi Sitra:
