Kind of jumping in on the "Favorite Ship" topic but with a twist.

Out of all the ships that have been released or announced for X-Wing, which one do you loathe the most? It could be for aesthetics, playability, scale, whatever.

No matter how much I try, I can't get over the Upsilon Command Shuttle. For some reason, it doesn't fit in the Star Wars universe. And practically anything fits in the Star Wars universe. From the Naboo Starfighter to the Ark Angel to the Action VI. Even the non-Canon Lego-approved Star Scavenger is more Star Warsy.

Most loathed for scale is the Rebel Transport. FFG could of made that to scale but instead shrunk it. Wouldn't have been so bad, but with the Gozanti arriving in 1/270 scale it just looks wrong by comparison.

Most loathed aesthetically is not the Transport, which would be cool at the right scale, but is the eyesore that is the K-Wing. It just doesn't look Star Wars. Some futuristic Earth bomber yes, but it doesn't belong in Star Wars.

K-Wing is horribly ugly.

E-Wing is too, mainly on account of that weird roof gun.

Tie Phantom is terrible design, even after the nerf. It's the worst case of rock/paper/scissors gaming that they have introduced. You either have the tools to beat it easily or it crushes you. The fact that it got 4 attack dice is utterly broken. It's usually at R1 and then getting 5 dice. It should've just had 3 red dice and get that extra 1 to fire with 4 dice. I probably would hate it less. I also think Advanced Cloaking Device is a horrible card that pretty much means you will only ever see the 2 named pilots. If they reduced the attack dice to 3 and removed ACD, then I would be fine with it.

Imperial: Punisher is a lazy, escalationist design.

Rebel: K-wing for a complete lack of aesthetic consistency.

Scum: Kihraxz has a stupid name.

Aesthetic-wise, Kwing/Aggressor/Lambda.

Kwing looks like its attempting to be a water-skiff (look at the "legs" on its wings) but 1) it has no rear fuselage to stabilize it and 2) ITS WINGS ARE BACKWARDS (i used to work avionics for the USAF)

Aggressor looks like a cockroach.

Lambda to me just doesnt fit in the imperial theme at all. Neither its capital ships or fighters even remotely resemble that ugly thing.

I'm not a fan of phantoms (there are 1 or two builds stapled to the thing) and the lots of attack dice puts me off.

I'm also not a fan of the JM5K, i prefer symmetry so having a big wing and then the cockpit/engine bugs me (similarly so does the falcon and yt2400!!)

Upsilons, N1s, Assault Gunboats, and B-wings.

Can't hate any ship on a looks basis as FFG does outstanding jobs on the models since wave 2. Okay, maybe I don't like the Y-Wing because of how bad the turret is sculpted, it is the only ship that hasn't been done justice. And the Ghosts paintjob isn't great. Many look way better than they have any right to (K-Wing, Punisher)!

Now for gameplay - I dislike the arcdodgers for the most part as they remove a lot of the guessing game. Sure you die when you make a mistake (at least you used to - thanks Autothrusters), but with both boost and barrel roll it is so much harder to make mistakes! Flying them is just boring to me because of that, I rarely feel pressured when I have the element of certainty on my side. So I rarely fly Interceptors, Jake Farrel, TAPs and their likes. Also haven't bought a Fang Fighter and probably won't for a while.

The fat turrets also don't appeal to me at all, which is rather sad because I love the Decmators model, but they basicaly push you into 2 ship builds and do nothing exciting, they just shoot (or don't get shot) and run away. Meh. These I also don't fancy playing against too much. So YT-1300 and Decimator - they spend a lot of time on the shelf.

Another thing that annoys me are the way too great dials for YT-1300, 2400 and the Jumpmaster. They feel weird. The JM5K dial is such a missed opportunity when the asymmetry could have been made such a great deal - but in reality it is barely noticable.

K-wing because it looks like it belongs in an anime show and the Punisher because it should have been the Assault Gunboat.

Also, scale wise the Y-wing is too **** small.

Not sure there's any ship I "loathe", really. There's a fairfew I'm not particularly interested in (mostly the First Order ships and the unreleased Wave10 ships), but I don't loathe them, I just have no plans to buy them.

Even though I'm not exactly a fan of the Alliance getting Sabine's TIE, the model looks good and I'm sure fans of the Rebels TV series will love it, so I can't really complain.

To be fair I'd rather have gunboats then any of the wave 10 ships in the game. Also better then the N1s everyone's suddenly clamouring for. Those are about the highest compliments about it you'll get from me

Ghost, Quackjumper, that one with Asajj as the pilot, and Upsilon are all loathed by me.

I hate sabines tie, or make it a scum ship not a rebel one, yes I get that she is with the rebel alliance but I'm an emp all the way (unless they come out with the naboo star fighter) so it goes against everything I'm for, as for looks, I hate the k wing as well

The ugly flying bug that is the IG-2000.

And the Khzzkzkzzz cuz no one can ever remember its name.

Oh, we remember it's name, we just can't spell it.

the Ghoast is bigger than the rebel transport and it's a "large ship" not to mention the phantom is literally a better x wing

The ugliest ship is the TIE Punisher. Super lazy design, though FFG made it look as good as they could.

My least favorite model is probably the K-Wing as they shouldn't have made the guns so detailed on it. Both of my front ones came off already, and I'm surprised the little turret on top hasn't snapped off yet.

I think the TIE interceptor is possibly the worse source to game translation. In the movies/video games/etc they were basically just tie fighters that were a bit faster and more maneuverable, had slightly better hull, and had twice as many laser cannons. In this game they are often one of the hardest ships to kill which is nothing like the canon depiction.

I have to disagree here - they are basically tie fighters that are faster, more maneuverable and twice as many laser cannons in game.

Its the pilots that make them shine - just like they did in the SW universe

VCX-100=43.9 meters

GR-75 medium transport=90 meters

K wing is very ugly as is the E wing.

JMK toilet bowl is hot garbage.

YV-666 is a space turd. Maybe the toiled bowl and turd would make a good list.

Punisher is pretty dumb looking. Yo dawg I heard you liked pods, so I put some pods on your pods so you can sit in a pod while you fly.
