I previously expected to see the Corellian Gunship make it's way into Armada, however now I'm not so sure.

The problem is it is yet another small base rebel ship, that is very similar to other ships already in the game (or soon to be). I would have imagined it's the be almost identical to the Raider, but with red dice instead of blue and turbolaser slot instead of offensive retrofit. It also competes with the Hammerhead and MC30 with its role as a small black dice ship.

Does anyone want to see the DP-20? And how would you design it to make it stand out from the Raider, hammerhead and MC30?

The thing is its hard to make another small ship have a purpose, due to the fact the game allows so much freedom in modification of existing ships. I think the DP-20 has been pretty much replaced by the Hammerhead. I think if they ever did a third faction you would see the DP-20 a a small ship in that faction.

Scum faction

I don't think a third faction will have it because I think a third faction will be Vong.

Sorry but i disagree. I think the DP20 should be added as a small-base dedicated anti-squadron ship for the rebels.

Because the rebels need help winning the squadron game?

Why should the Empire have all the fun with a dedicated Anti-Squadron ship?

It isn't that they don't need a dedicated Anti Squadron boat, more that they have fantastic squadron killing squadrons and yavaris for more killings. They got alot of squadron synergy. Rieekan even makes escorts like Luke and Wedge auto targets that can't die.

It was my understanding that the DP-20 was slightly heavier armed than the CR-90, and the Hammerhead I'm guessing will be lighter than the CR-90. So while I'm not sure if we are going to see the DP-20, and small ships in general might be a little over crowded I wouldn't count the ship out all together. Remember FFG will hopefully be making ships for this game for years to come. But I don't expect it any time soon.

6 double turbolaser cannons, 6 quad laser cannons, and 4 concussion missile tubes. Sound like a Gladiator SD without bays on a lite hull.

I think there would be a place for the gunship. Something like a small Liberty only more extreme. 4-5 dices front, 1-1 on the side and the back perhaps?

Best hope for the DP-20 will be if it shows up on Rebels.

Given that we've had the Dornean gunship appear in 'Return of the Jedi', 'Rogue One' and 'Rebels' - and that it would be a 'small-base dedicated anti-squadron ship for the Rebels'...

Oh i want the Broha'tok included as well, xanderf (proud member of the Broha'tok fan club after all). I just want to see it added as a combat flotilla.

The Rebels already have enough light ship love without needing something else. If you want a double AA ship with Engine techs, you already have the Nebulon-B. You can make it even better than a DP-20 by giving it Yavaris, allowing fighters to clear enemy ships even faster than a DP-20 would.

Fair enough (it's certainly the right size). But if that isn't a 'small base, anti-squadron' unit...only now with a scatter token...then what else is it?

(And it does help keep the factions less carbon-copies of each other - if the Imperial small-base/anti-squadron ship is a ship, while the Rebel small-base/anti-squadron ship is a flotilla)
