As much as I've tried to figure out a build for the U-wing, it's pretty much been shelved for fun/themed matches only. As most people seem to have arrived at the same conclusion, I was hoping the community could agree to henceforth substitute the stupid wookie ship model for the U-wing model.

It has the 2 crew slots, the dial is suitable, and the 180° arc can represent the door gunners. I think stats-wise it's a close enough fit too.

At least then when I lose to a Biggs, Lowhhrick, and Miranda list, I don't have the added insult of having to stare at the most fugly ship in the game for 75 minutes*.

In my experience, it depends on your setup. I play casual tournaments at my game store, and I've already used 3d-printed Chiss Clawcraft models as Defenders, and a TIE Reaper for RAC.

As long as your game moderator/organizer allows it, and you don't mix up the models (use two Auzitucks but one has a different model) then you should be ok.

You sir deserve a medal! So say we all!

The U-Wing is better than the Lambda is. It's just that the imperials have a reason to take a cheap crew carrier (Palp) and Rebels don't.....
Personally I would let you fly it as a Wookie Gunship! I hate that mutant wooden space hind!

Just fly the U-Wing instead of the Auzituck.

Door gunners, in space?

Great idea! Not sure who approved that. I am a Rebels player but I actually haven't bought, and probably will not ever by the wookie gunship. It is that ugly I don't care if it's the most powerful ship out there. It even makes the toilet bowl hated jumpmasters look nice by comparison.

I take it you're just going to mod the U-Wing model to accept small-stand pegs, or just magnetize it?

It really should have been small-based in the first place. Its no larger than the Skurgg or K-Wing.

It's possible, look to the prequels when the Republic / Separatist cruisers go side by side at the beginning of Revenge of the Sith, the gunners on both ships have port holes with shielding to protect them from the vacuum of space but allow them to fire the cannons.
