That being said, the only role I need it to fill is kewlness in my game.
And Mara Jade, Hand of the Empire as pilot.
Same on the size thing. I was actually really surprised when I found out it's length.
And Mara Jade better be on it.
There must always be an unpublished boat (stark) on the front page (winterfell).

the IPV-1, our next Imp Huge ship. I would love to see this thing on the table with some Skiprays. Bringing back that WEG stuff.

IPV-1 is one of the huge few ships that should be available to all 3 factions. Just give it 1-2 titles that are faction specific.

I would also like to see the Customs Corvette:

Or the Corellian Gunship.

**** yes. Make it a dual faction thing if you have to. Give us ALL the good EU stuff!

Out of curiosity, does anyone know what WEG-created content we've gotten as ships so far?

Z-95....
Interdictor and Victory for Armada.
i think that's it.
This is the ship I preferred as it brings back fond memories of the West Ends RPG which should get through Story Group pretty easily. Since Scum gets all the love this should benefit the Imperials.
Here is to hoping.
On 21/08/2017 at 4:29 PM, Wondergecko said:Welp, it worked for the Starwing, so I'd love to see if there's some love for the noble Blastboat. Personally, this was always a favorite ship of mine -- a sturdy, hard-hitting assault craft with a good variety of weapons and a roomy cabin that actually makes sense for a picket ship.
It's a badass little ship, and in lore it was supposed to be occasionally classified as a small capital ship due to the output of its reactor. Game mechanic-wise, perhaps this could mean it gets energy tokens, like an epic ship. Anyways, who else is clamoring for this?
I'm not personally interested in getting one, but like the other ships I'll support this topic and make sure the topic doesn't become forgotten.

Well, I think at this point we have to thank Rebels for reintroducting the Interdictor, but the Victory is pure old school EU/WEG.

Assault Frigate Mk II in Armada was originally a WEG invention as well.
I can't remember if the K-Wing showed up anywhere else first, for that matter.
WEG invented far more capital ships and freighters than they did fighters, though.

The Headhunter predates WEG's Star Wars RPG. It originates in 1979's Han Solo at Star's End as a collection of fighters so antiquated that Han is more than a little concerned about flying one. If I recall correctly, and I may not, Han and his compatriots steal them from a musiem before using them in a raid on the Corporate Sector Authority.

But it was also this Version of the Z-95:
WEG gave it the X-Wing-Predecessor-Look.
SKIPRAY!

What would a GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat bring to the game?
What makes THIS a must have inclusion to the range that FFG will have no choice but to make the expansion?

Large imperial non-shuttle.
2 Red PWT or turret slot, 1 Crew, Missiles, Torpedoes.

Imperials need a solid, large gunship to run interference for some of their aces that isn't a Shuttle, doesn't cost more than half the list like a Decimater, and performs better than a Firespray. The Blastboat could supply that if modeled after the Lancer-class persuit craft. In the lore, it is outfitted with torpedos, missiles, and cannon upgrades. It could take a turret slot or be a PWT, but I think the mobile arc is a better mechanic.
I must admit, I've always thought the Imperials were short on big ships. So many Ties, so few.....anything else really. So it'd be great on those merits alone.
With a mobile arc and a lot of firepower I'd certainly be tempted to pick up a Skippy.....or a few.

Well yes, the Z-95 appeared in print many years before WEG used some even older production art to give the Headhunter a visual representation. I believe the designation of the last production run was AF-4, while the original run was the Mark 1 they Han flew in Stars End.
I think instead of calling it the Skipray Blastboat, it should be called: "Skippy"
What sort of dial and stats would Skippy have?

No speed two, all speed one and speed three. Also it can only go left by banking and right with hard turns.
