If the 60 meter figure is correct the Ye-4 gunship may belong in epic...
I don't think this will come, but how about the Noghri Death Commando's fast-attack patrol ship for Imperial use. With a Noghri Commando crew?

Or the Fury-Class star fighter. Complete with an imperial Astromech!

Yeah, but for a purely mechanics/what-a-faction-needs point of view, the VCX-820 might be the Lancer equivalent (gameplay wise) that I've been hearing some of my friends say that want for the Empire.

Empire: TIE Reaper, large based ship, akin to the (scum) Aggressor. Maneuverable, agile ship, with a punch to pack. Krennic in the set, with some new, powerful mechanic that synergizes well with many empire ships (and not just has The One configuration where it just reaches acceptable utility to include in a list). Second generic has an EPT slot, possibly PS4. Black Squadron something? (we want to have fun too, dangit) At least 1 unique pilot should be at least good, possibly amazing.Rebels: Kinda tough, most ships are used, and I'd prefer to leave prequel stuff out of the game as much as possible. They are so out of ideas that they take any driftwood as straws to catch onto. I guess they could get a Protectorate, just to irk scum players, with Sabine as one of the pilots naturally. They would also get a different 0 point title, Rebel only, while the scum title would become scum only, to differentiate between the two.
Scum: A darkened blister, coated with a special material preventing any type of scanning of its contents prior to opening. As soon as the blister opens, a sinister hiss of gasses erupts from it, with red haze radiating from the middle. As the mists disappear, the haze is revealed to be a small screen showing numbers counting backwards. When the timer hits 0, approximately 5 seconds after opening, the message "E Chuta!" shows, before the thermal detonator activates, utterly destroying the traitorous and weak willed...
Otherwise, dunno. I'm kinda fine with a mining guild TIE, provided they change it sufficiently. (maybe no speed 5 forward, and 1 hard turn is red?) It can even have an illicit slot. Actually, I don't care what ship they get, I want a Buzz Droid illicit slot for them. Drops an obstacle as a reveal bomb, overlapping the obstacle causes 2 stress and removes it from play.
1) no large base ship has ever had more than one generic at it's launch
2) prequel ships are fine and appeal to a lot of people, particularly those who are younger and grew up with them plus it makes sense for rebels to use them. They still have a decent pool to draw from, your personal bias aside.
3) Scum were garbage for all of their first two waves of existence and while they have gotten a good deal for the last couple waves the amount of **** and ******* in the forums is completely overblown. It's not a faction I personally enjoy playing but I'm not petty enough to show spite just because they've been doing really well the last year or so. Two+ years ago we heard the the same sort of **** about Fel, Fat Han, and Super Dash(or pwts in general for the more belligerent) though it wasn't this widespread because people expected those to be great while everyone was used to rolling scum with ease and dislike the change in dynamic.
Ships I would be okay with:
N1 Starfighter for Rebels, for an actual pilot Leia and Shara Bey.
V-wing for imperials - if the Silencer also has an astromech slot.
HH-87 starhopper, while ugly, is a generic scum ship used by hutts, zyggerrian slavers, and Black Sun.

The issue with Empire astromechs is that they would have to create a whole new upgrade type for them because none of the unique droids are faction specific and having R2 or a salvaged droid on a top line imperial ship is dumb. And honestly we don't need any new upgrade slots right now particularly ones which will almost never get new upgrades for them due to an extreme lack of ships which could reasonably have the slot.
Empire: Star Courier (Scimitar)
With the comics placing the ship in the OT, theres a ton of pilots to choose from, including Maul of course. Systems upgrade, cloaking, mines, etc.
Rebels: Phantom 2
Its going to come eventually. Now is a good of a time as any.
Scum: Ark Angel
Multi faction ship with a Scum and Imperial Dr Aphra. Despite the hate, it has a ton of crew and upgrade options.
Then the Episode 8 add on ships with be Kylo Rens fighter and the new A Wing, though I'd prefer the new bomber. That thing looks awesome.

A new icon is not a big deal. As I said, *if* the TIE Silencer has a Astromech slot, based on the existence of BB-9E, then a v-wing expabsion brings two ships that the empire would use Astromechs for, the same amount the Rebels had (until the e-wing). Heck, as the empire DOES make use of astromech droids, but in a manner similar to what we saw in the phantom menace. We could get a modification for large imperial ships that allowed an astromech slot, which, if one of the astromech gave shield regen, could breath new life into the decimator and the Lambda.
Now, until the film, the Silencer may not have this slot, but it is a possibility (just circumspect as based on a Lego leak, which is not reliable in any way).

Yes but in the case of the Rebels they not only had a big box to start them off with a good selection but plenty of ships to draw from which could use them in future releases, Empire will have neither of those things.

This is why I said an astromech equppable ship, such as the imperial v-wing, should only come IF the TIE Silencer has the slot as well.
Bur to say the Empire (or First Order) will never get ships equipped with that is just as much conjecture as me saying the Silencer might have one.
We might even get, and it is a long shot, an imperial ARC-170. But it is not impossible.

I'm not. Wouldn't work very well outside epic, I guess. (what's the point of 3 turret slots and who-know how many cannon slots?)

I'd say slim it down. Maybe make it a mobile arc.
I've mentioned this as an idea before, but if the imperials wanted an astromech slot in a very small number of ships, it could be added via a title. "Your upgrade bar gains the "Astromech" slot. You may only equip Astromech upgrades with the " Imperial Only " restriction."

?!? Star Trek bases ?!? .... that's sacrilege.
But seriously, take a photo of it next to the lambda, that way I can see if melminiatures (or whoever) went with the 21 meter figure.
I've seen my share of unboxings and I don't think I've ever seen someone almost start jumping up and down.
You gotta not screech at the mic though, that'z fah shue.

I saw someone posting photos of new type of a B-Wing, some bomber and Kylo Rens Interceptor. These were in Hot Wheels packs, go figure. I know nothing more.
I guess that those might be something that come up. I think we will be getting something from new movie, very unlikely to see old stuff.
