Gunboat nevermore
I'll be flying the gunboat in the custom card league in no time. Done waiting for FFG to crank one out and we're doing it ourselves.
So yeah JBR7 and I had that talk and i think generally, at it's very core we agree, Everyone needs to bloody chill. Let's not be hatin' on FFG for not releasing the Gunboat (not that many were) and let's not be dissing people who want their favourite cool ships, Like the Gunboat, Avenger, DX-9, Kimogilla(it's coming Joe!) etc.

Personally, I'm still holding out hope for uglies...
If Disney is still ok with ffg making ships from the eu I think we will get it when the time is right..... I can wait for that time... Then I will buy 10 of them ..... Then we start a tie avenger thread !!!!
I've been thinking about this, and I find it hard to believe that Disney wouldn't allow FFG to produce the Gunboat. In a few weeks, we'll be getting a serious update to an old EU ships that is from the same obscure game as the gunboat -- and that ship is going to be powerful! How could / why would FFG make the TIE Defender such a powerful force to be reckoned with if Disney is so against the old EU? I just don't see Gunboats NOT happening. Sure, it may take a while, but I think we'll see them before this game is through.

Now your on board , did the same for my beloved HUTTs!
I'm not a gunboat cultist. I just have fond memories of both flying and shooting down those beautiful ships in the X-wing series of video games. And now I want it in this game so badly!!!!
...oh, does that make me a cultist? So be it then

Nah but marching around at an official FFG X-WING Event with these on...

YAH CULTIST!

...and you look snarky and pushy in front of the people who actually work on the game for the rest of us to enjoy.
Not Cool... and security will be keeping an eye on you both until they figure out that you are just harmless nerds living in your own special little world.
Nice.

Where can I order those shirts? No one told me … is there an Avenger version of this?
And why no one send me the memo that we are being sarcastic over this? And when did Red Seven even joined the gunboat cult? ;-)
The reason I really don't want a gunboat is that my giant plano is at its limits. The space I've allocated for Imperials can't handle any more large ships. 4 Shuttles, 3 Firesprays, and 2 Decimators are enough for me. Oh, and 4 Punishers is all the "missile boat" anyone ever needs. My Space Whales are all the "gunboats" I will ever need. I mean, what's the XG-1 really gonna give me in terms of capability? Two Cannon Slots?!

It's not remotely a large ship?

And so would be different from the punisher, it also would have only 1Attack die, so would rely on missiles. But would be much more agile, even before the Slamming it could do.
Gunboat capability, well a cannon slot, decent hull and shields- totalling about Y-wing health, and then 2 missile or torp slots (as in 2 total between the two). It would sort of be like a Imperial version of the Ywing, since it isnt very maneuverable, and would also not be able to do any turret/360 abilities...and it would not get crew nor astromechs. So something quite different from what the Imps have now.
Oh and the Gunboat and Missileboat are both starfighter vessels the size of an Xwing or slightly larger...so would be SMALLS!

Or this:
I've never had the impression that what a ships 'role' was had anything to do with what gets released.
It doesn't seem too important to the big man game company.
They sure aren't trying to give every faction an option to fill some sort of 'role'
The decision usually comes down to what adds more to the game without making a wave too complicated to test. Nothing has to fill any specific roles from what I can tell but if there is a big chunk of open design space or a missing "role" there is a good chance it will be something that adds a lot to the game. IE the Khiraxz filled the X-wing space for scum but imperials rather than mirroring the x-wing have filled the spaces just below it and above it on the power curve. One of the big reasons the Gunboat has to be low priority is the design space it fits in is fairly small. What it can do it not going to bring a ton to the game without some more intensive testing. I do not have much doubt it will show up though. It would be easy to bring it to the Star Wars LCG, rebels and rogue one and it would fit them all fairly well. It isn't a Tie but the empire can have more than just ties, sd and stormtroopers.
Personally, I'm still holding out hope for uglies...
They've released the TIE Punisher and TIE sf. What more can they offer?

You have to admit, the 'good post', 'bad post' posts are rather spammy.
Whatever!

YEAH... GO AWAY WITH YOUR STUPID (AND POORLY DONE!!!) STAR WARS SPACE SHIP PICTURES WHICH YOU ARE DETERMINED TO CONTINUALLY POST HERE AT THE STAR WARS SPACESHIP GAMES FORUM!!!
I DO NOT LIKE SEEING ADORABLE LITTLE SPACESHIPS AND THE PILOTS IN THEM ON HERE. I WANT TO JUST SEE TEXT AND NUMERALS!!!
SCREW YOU JOE BOSS!!!
yeah, that guy is messed up. i hear joe boss likes his steak burnt to hell.

Joe Boss was actually responsible for the Suez Canal crisis AND the death of Bambi's mother.
Don't tell anyone I told you, though.

What a Neanderthal... he hates Math-Wing too because he is to stupid to understand just how OH SO IMPORTANT it really is!!!

I'm with you guys, he is just a jerk! He is a poser too because he plays star trek attack wing, but just like with x-wing he has the nerve to ignore turnarounds (
) ; the meta, group think, and he has designed his own fixes!!!
I am putting him on ignore right now!!!
If I never see a Gunboat on the table, it will be to soon. From what I have seen, this nonsense of a Gunboat is nothing more than a poorly conceived attempt to see if a few can sway the game designers. The reason for my belief is this... Totally random questions are being inserted with Gunboat bs... Someone asks about Auto-Thrusters and in no time at all there appears a comment.... Well if we had a Gunboat... Really.. I get it if someone has a passion for something, but keep it in its thread. A lot of newer players have legitimate questions and don't need to be confused with something that is totally off topic... You know like a Gunboat.
You shut your mouth and like the Assault Gunboat and TIE Avenger like the rest of us.
You've inspired me to start mentioning them when they're not relevant to the discussion, that's a great idea that I hadn't thought of.
So you'll be inserting more useless drivel than normal?
Sick and **** tired of hearing about this stupid ship.
Anybody heard about this Assault Gunboat? They should probably put it in the game
You mean the Alpha class Assault Shuttle? or the TIE Gunboat?
Edited by WondergeckoI mean when you are poo pooing the official products which are THE BEST STAR WARS MODELS AND GAMES ON EARTH... and why: because you want some old ship that is not even in the recognized official cannon... dat is just to much.
DAMS...

You do realize, don't you, that the bigger the fuss you make about disliking the craft, the more some people will make sure to mention it just to spite you? Not that I approve of such behavior, of course, but I've been on enough forums to recognize where this leads.
