I personally would love to see the Chiss, I would probably fly them a lot. I just don't think FFG will take that step.

Could be fun. Would be interesting to see where they would fit in.

While not likely for a while, and dependant on the stories in the pipe (film, television, novel comic and game), I think we will see the Ascendancy. They do show up in the canon novel Thrawn recently released.

However, if you are expecting the Chiss and their ships just like they appeared in the legends stories, you may be in for a letdown. We may get different ones.

Even though I'm not even Empire player, it would be great to see Clawcrafts http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nssis-class_Clawcraft

I could maybe see them in a few years. But right now there's way too many ships they need to add first.

Maybe they'll kill two mynocks with one stone and make the chiss fighter of choice the noneboat. *roll eyes*

Now that Thrawn's canon I think it's pretty likely we'll get a clawcraft at some point. I'd love another Imperial ship that's not explicitly a TIE.

God I hope so. My favorite ship in star wars.

My body is ready

That's just a TIE with curves

I think Armada will get Thrawn, and he'll be as broken as Palp, Manaroo and Zuckuss combined...

The Chiss don't really have a distinct enough fighter design to separate them from the Empire - the Clawcraft is basically a next-gen Defender. Again, I could see Thrawn in Epic play, but not for a while.

The Chris's wouldn't be a separate faction. Just make em imperial. Or scum!

clawcraft is just as distinctive as any other of the 5000 tie variants

That's pretty much how I feel about it.

What could happen is in a future novel, they have the Chiss design several variations of Clawcraft that are different enough to be in X-Wing, such as this:

Oh they'll make it. The Thrawn book certainly leaves the door for them WIDE open

Please, FFG. Just give us this one little gift...

Thrawn would an excellent replacement for Palpatine. Give him something reasonable, like forcing the opposing player to play with open dials. ;-)

I thought everyone wanted a gunboat?

HA!!

Given that the thread is 6,050 posts long, people have got callouses on their callouses from rubbing that lamp.

I'm not instantly hostile. But to be frank, I'd expect the missile gunboat to come first.

I really want the Clawcraft in the game. Hopefully we see it in a future wave soon (provided we get anymore waves in the future, that is).

Mechanically I want the clawcraft to action drop a token of some kind and then later in the game you can swap places with it.

Because awesome.

Looks very promising and plausible. It'd be neat to make them a sub faction, give them a sort of softer IG88 bonus, where they're better when other Chiss are in play

If you want chiss, then I want the galactic republic.
