HOLY CRAP DEM S-FOILS

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It's so cool to see something with VAGUELY proper control surfaces in Star Wars..! I mean can you imagine watching a whole squadron of these suckers pop open? Like, holy crap..! The wings go wide, the doors open, it banks and you've got a gunner just holding on for dear life as he sprays down like thirty stormies! Pilots break off and gun down an incoming shuttle, and the gunner facing the sky sprays down a TIE fighter above..!

Aw man.

This is officially my favorite GCW Era Rebel Fighter.

Yeah I think it's wicked cool and should be a 3-crew Rebel ship which has side arcs it can only use if it has an empty crew slot. The door gunners. They can wear space suits.

It is a thing of beauty and an amazing feat of the designers to ad something that don't feel out of place to the original Rebel fleet.

This is what I call "proper control surfaces in Star Wars"

Also good to see all you old happy friends. In this new new age.

Just wait until you see the TIE Striker unfold its wings... big secret, shhh.

How do you think ffg will make the model? S-foils closed or opened? :P

Seeing so many complaints about this by Star Wars "Fans"


They all boil down to the following:

But it wasn't in the original trilogy! IT SHOULDN'T EXIST! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

I hope they make them swivel. Folded for easier storage/packaging, unfolding for the table.

I also look forward too the Empire getting their 3rd shuttle, another 3 crew ship perhaps.

I saw somewhere that FFG has a SKU left over that has yet to be revealed. Has anyone seen this? might just be the U-wing.

Well, it certainly looks better and more appropriate than anything else currently in the release schedule, that's for sure. By an entire order of magnitude.

Roll on Force Friday!

Indeed. You can see X-wing hints in the engines and Y-wing hints in the cockpit assembly, but it looks unique in both wing configurations.

Never seen such expectation for an ugly.

That's is not a U-Wing. That's a Arwing.

I prefer this to re-doing the old Alphabet-Wings. It looks like it fits in the old GCW era ships, without stealing too much thunder from the existing ones (It's not going to dogfight like an X-Wing or bomb like a Y-Wing).

I'm concerned about it being added to X-Wing however. Being primarily an Atmospheric craft, and a gunship at that, it doesn't really seem suited to the game. Maybe a Rebel Lambda? I guess that would be neat.

Those wide wings just look silly to me.

It worked on Ren-Bat but yeah they are way to dam long and thine... but I will buy one or two for EPIC LAND WAR Games... Dat Glory... and such.

We need transports...

:D

Oh, I'm sure I'll buy some when it comes out, but I just hope they don't make it with the wings so wide.

They changed the wings on Ren Bat so maybe... it will look good.

Lock S-foils in Awesome Position!

We have 1 ship with movable wings, so why not 2?

Actually, we have two moveable wing ships, the Upsilon is confirmed to "flap" as well.
