Well maarek stele in wave 1 was from TIE Fghter, not XWing IIRC. and of course they mined the XWing games early on. They mined ALL of the EU, and those games are an obvious place to find ships for the game.

Doesnt change the fact that the odds of getting the assault gunboat at this point are exceedingly slim since they seem to have gone full on canon only lately. As long as we keep getting new ships I'm not expecting to see any more legends ships show up unless they run out of canon ones

I really, specifically don't want the new shuttles for the game, and I really, specifically don't want to see the Rebels characters as pilots of even more ships. I want to think that FFG also realizes those two things would be bad choices; the Upsilon Shuttle looked stupid enough for a lifetime of stupid-looking ships. Forget the Zann Consortium - that game's story should have never happened, and it would be wasteful to bring back that huge legends posterchild of a Gary Stu writing. I'd love to see the Rogue Shadow as an Imperial and Rebel ship, but I know that TFU has been wiped from canon and will never come back. I think the Skipray Blastboat would still be a good choice, since it's both Imperial and Scum. The Blastboat was one of the original EU ships and would fit nicely into a Rebels episode.

My prediction: Some random thing I've specifically said I don't want, two new ships from Rebels that we haven't seen yet, and the XG-1 Assault Gunboat (who knows, it might appear in Rebels. itself). Plus probably something else Gozanti-related, since apparently the Rebels writers can't get enough of that. :-P

Making new models and rigs is time consuming and effectively expensive. Talk to any 3D animator, you reuse assets as much as you can help.

This, along with the fact Rouge One just happened has me 99.9% convinced that there will be some kind of Rouge One Veterans pack for Rebels (as I said) with T-65 X-wings and Y-wings and fixes through titles and mods for both and new pilots of course. I think the rebels desperately need life breathed into their workhorses and I strongly believe it will happen and soon.

The other thing related to the reuse of models would be a Saw's X-wings. Im 50/50 on this happening and I do not know if they would be considered Rebel ships or Scum ships if they did come to X-wing Miniatures. Based on the Rebellions view of Saw's forces in Rouge One it really could go either way, which is a exciting thought as a predominately Scum player

If we see partisan swings they will absolutely be rebel. His group was still rebelling against the empire, even if he wasn't officially part of the alliance anymore come rogue one

The brought in Juno Eclipse with the Raider so more TFU stuff isn't completely outside the realm of possible.

Its probably not the first place they will go for content, though.

Hey, shuttles are cool! I've played since launch, and to me, the game hadn't properly started until the release of the Lambda shuttle. And the Upsylon looks rather cool IMHO.

I believe one way or another Krennics Shuttle is going to end up in the game BUT it will serve a very different purpose than the Lambda and Upsilon. Krennics shuttle may even be small ship based if I remember correctly someone posted that its actual canon size would qualify it for a small base rather than large. Not sure if that's really a good thing tho...

either way the paint job on Saw's X-Wings are awesome and I would be extremely happy to see them in the game.

Scum also already have Kihraxz fighters, they don't need another X-Wing analog

(Which also is bad FFG plz fix)

I dunno a X-wing with an illicit slot and astromech would be pretty sweet, and different enough than the Kihraxz and Rebel X-Wing to make them interesting in their own right...

A Rogue One Wave (again) would be fine.

Update XWings YWings Ties

Scum stuff (even XWings) would be find by me

Indeed. It's Coming. T-65 X-wing will definitely get attention, hopefully rebel Y-wing too.

50/50 on TIEs as TIE Fighters are still pretty solid IMO and have a lot of good pilots to choose from. But more to choose from would not be a bad thing.

If Saw's X-wings aren't Scum however Im not sure how Scum would get any Rouge One tie ins... Its been a while since Ive seen Rouge One though so I could be overlooking a potential Scum ship...

I think they should hold off releasing new ships, and try balance out existing ships first. Release some fixes for underpowered ships in the current game, in the form of new Aces/Veterans packs. It would be great for x-wings and y-wings to have a place again. I also think a couple of the scum ships could be improved too.

Yeah Starviper / Kihraxz Veterans or Aces pack is hopefully in the works along with the T-65 X- wing and Rebel Y-wing ace / veteran pack. All (4) of those ships need some help to be viable again.

I have a strong feeling we won't see a rebel veterans pack, because we already got it in heroes of the resistance.

A scum veterans is probably likely to fill the time before Ep8.

ASSAULT GUNBOAT

Maybe Rebel T-65 X wings with access to illicit slots to represent their not so honorable tactics? Not sure how much that would help though, its a dangerous slot to add anything cheap enough to boost an X wing without it affecting Jumpmasters and Lancers.

There are a number of Rogue One pilots that could be added. If they done it like a "Most Wanted" style pack. Three ships (two blue X wings and a gray Y wing) with their associated pilots and upgrades. Then add in a new U wing base insert adding K2-SO into the game as a pilot.

It's easy enough to make balanced Illicits: Small Ship Only.

I don't think there are currently any small ships which could be made really problematic by an OP Illicit slot item.

This would be perfect. Are you reading this FFG!?

I'd prefer a slight variation - 1 blue x-wing, 1 partisan x-wing and the grey y-wing.

(would buy at least 2 of such a set, right from the get-go)

I'd but almost any expansion if it had assault gunboats. Just saying

More Rogue One stuff is what makes sense to me that they would release. I don't know that I particularly want more Rogue One stuff but the possibility of a T-65 buff is nice, and I'd prefer more Rogue One to more Rebels. Hopefully they announce something soon though. I'm getting really antsy, not having anything new to buy.

You don't need to be a Scum for that:

Nice but I wouldn't charge a point for it.
