Ships from Star Wars Galaxies: TIE Aggressor, Decimator, Kihraxz, Scyk, Kimogila. Are those the ugliest in the game? I don't think so.
3 hours ago, Jadotch said:Funny, I find the Rebels ships far uglier and more generic looking than the Galaxies ships. The Ghost itself looks cool, but the rest are kind of bland and generic sci-fi-ish. The Lancer looks like something made in Spore.
Lancer and Phantom II = Star Trek
Scurrg = Elite
Ghost = flying brick

The Rihkxyrk is the single best looking ship from Galaxies.
It certainly look intimidating, but I don't know if FFG can nail that detail level in a miniature.

Yah I love the look of the ship, which is the main reason I want it for x-wing. Would probably be a large base (bit longer than the IG-2000). High health, low agility

But do you think that now with the Scyk, the Kihraxz, and now the Caligula Fighter, we have too many ships from Galaxies? Happy to be proven wrong. I just feel like nobody here seems to have actually played that game, and it seems weird that this one game is so dominating the scum faction.
Like @DarthEnderX said, until it has all of them, it doesn't have enough. I literally would not be playing this game if they hadn't added the Decimator from SWG into the game. I saw it on the shelf of my game store, had to have it, and wanted to check out the game it was for. Seeing the ships I remember from SWG being made in models is a great part of this game to me.
Every playable ship in SWG, green if it's already in X-Wing (I left out the trainer/heavy versions of Z-95/Scyk/TIE Fighter):
Rebel:
Z-95 Headhunter
Y-wing
Y-wing Longprobe
X-wing
A-wing
Advanced X-wing
B-wing
T-Wing Interceptor
YKL-37R Nova Courier
Incom X-4 Gunship
M3-A "Scyk" Interceptor
G1-M4-C "Dunelizard" Starfighter
M12-L "Kimogila" Multi-role Starfighter
"Kihraxz" Assault Fighter
Vaksai Starfighter
"Ixiyen" Fast Attack Craft
"Rihkxyrk" Attack Ship
Havoc Starfighter
MandalMotors M22-T "Krayt" Gunship
YT-1300
Black Sun AEG-77 Vigo Gunship
Neutral:
KSE Firespray
ARC-170
Naboo N-1 Starfighter
Belbullab-22
Eta-2 Actis Interceptor
Sorosuub Luxury Yacht
V-Wing
YT-2400 Freighter
Y-8 Mining Ship
Imperial:
TIE/ln Fighter
TIE Interceptor
Imperial Guard TIE Interceptor
TIE Bomber
TIE Aggressor
TIE Advanced
TIE Defender
TIE Oppressor
VT-49 Decimator
YE-4 Gunship
That's 23 out of 40 if we don't include the advanced x-wing as already in game (it was just a heavy mass variant like the royal guard interceptor and vaksai, but since they each came in a veteran's box, there's some extra hope for all of you wanting another x-wing fix). In fact, everyone that wants the X-Wing "fixed," should be rooting for more SWG ships!
Can any other game boast as many playable ships from X-Wing as SWG? I doubt it so I won't even check! Does any other game have as many playable unique/unmade ships still available to be pulled into X-Wing as SWG? Again, not a chance!
In summation, Star Was space battles are made better by the creation and inclusion of SWG ships.
You forgot to mark the start of the Freelance ships from the Rebel ones.

Yes. X-Wing Alliance has about the same number of flyable ships that are still unused in this game.
Alright! Like I said, happy to be proven wrong! I've been proven wrong, so now I'm happy! I wasn't intending to seem mean or rude, I just honestly thought there weren't that many people here who liked Galaxies, and I was wondering why FFG keeps making Galaxies ships.
Glad to see there are in fact people to whom FFG is catering with these ships! I never played the game myself, so I guess I just didn't know it had such a large following.
Thanks everyone! It actually does make me feel a lot better to know that when I see some new ship that I don't recognize, there are people out there who have fond memories of said ship!
3 hours ago, ViscerothSWG said:For a time, SWG was the biggest mmo out there, and it's still the best.
You can even still play JTL on Legends server.
I won't be happy until every ship from SWG is in this game. I finally bought into x-wing after the decimator was released. I'll keep buying as long as they keep releasing SWG ships.
On top of all the player usable ships that I usually list, there's another horde of random unique looking freighters and gunships that would also be great for this game that you shot at and protected in SWG.
SWG is the best source for X-Wing!
SWG!!!!
wait wait wait wait Wait Wait WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT WAIT.
For years I kind of checked in on those other SWG fan projects just waiting for one to have JTL (aka BY FAR the best part of SWG). Eventually I gave up expecting it to never happen. They've done it? They've finally done it?
For those not in the know, the Jump to Lightspeed expansion added space combat to Star Wars Galaxies. That in itself isn't all that noteworthy, as back in the day there were lots of good space sims. What made it really special (IMHO) was that you could walk around inside ships while they were flying around and in combat. Think about that for a minute. What games have let you walk from cockpit to turret while looking out windows at the combat occuring in real time with your ship? I mean, that's something that Star Citizen is spending a ton of resources to implement, and Elite Dangerous hasn't (won't?) implemented.
Also, you could decorate the interior of your MFing Decimator with lots of swag. Decked out Decimators, Y-8s (HUGE GLASS BRIDGE!), and Sorosuub yachts were so dope.

And, while for a long time the servers would go down every 4-6 hours, they fixed a lot of the bugs in the past few months and things are more stable than ever now!
All the screenshots I wish I had taken back then, I can take now! The only catch is it's NGE on the ground. But it's an acceptable compromise for me.

I did the same thing, everyone once in a while going back to see if any servers had JTL implemented yet. None of the pre-CU servers have it to my knowledge, but several of the NGE servers do. If all you're worried about is space, not the ground stuff, then it doesn't really make a difference. I found the Legends server myself a few months back when I went looking again. I loaded it up and have worked my way partway up the freelance chain again. Haven't played in a while since I got distracted by other games.

Vaksai is not in and this is a problem. Making Vaksai a title and calling it a day is like giving the TIE/FO an SF title and calling it quits.

QuoteIt was a TransGalMeg Industries, Incorporated -manufactured Kihraxz light fighter modified by Black Sun.
That's...pretty much exactly what FFG is giving us
Different ship configuration. A bit like how the TIE/FO is a different ship configuration to the SF.
Also the Vaksais cockpit configuration looks better.

2 hours ago, AllWingsStandyingBy said:Yes please! It's about time Scum got a useless release.
Although knowing FFG's track record with Scum ships, the Mining Guild TIE would probably be 10pts and would have an EPT, two Illicits, two bomb slots, and a torp slot on the PS3 generic (it's lowest PS generic)...
Lets be realistic. EPT, 1 Ilicit, and a 1 point title that gives you choice of a 2nd Ilicit, bomb, crew, or a torp slot.

So yes, let us cease with the trashy Galaxy ships and in fact cease with the trash ships in general (including that ugly grey mess that is the Assault Gun boat).
disagree fully. after Xs and Ys, the scyk and kihraxz are exactly what got me into the game. I, and many others, view the design style of those ships to be excellent.
I want multiple kimogolas. i love scyks. if you dont thats your choice not to purchase them, but FFG will have my money every time they make a gorgeous brute from the hutt fleet. the #1 most wanted ship on this board is the gunboat... so maybe you should consider that other people have different tastes and accept that popular ships people want are gonna get made?

There are a couple examples of that ship being modified with weapons, such as Lando Calrissian's "Lady Luck" and Mara Jade's "Jade's Fire". While I'm sure other can point to other reasons why they want it, those two are enough for me.

That's why I edited it to "Never mind". Mara Jade's ship popped into my mind right after I hit "submit reply".

It's all good. I should've remembered Lando's tricked out yacht as well. Which reminds me, I need to read my Thrawn trilogy again.
I'll admit I didn't know a single galaxies ship before it was in the game. I also find that most of the designs err on the ugly side.
I guess if they want to keep mining that game that's fine, but as I've said in other threads I really wish they'd start doing more canon ships first.

Same, I would have infinitely preferred the TIE/fo being a TIE Fighter title instead of a separate ship.
