I know liberty, and home one exist and we have models for both. But with the chimera box, will we see a wingless liberty? Thoughts? Hopes? Will the rebels get tons of variety on the model front and the imps get all the upgrade fun?

I personally would really like to see FFG come out with an MC 80A. I imagine it would be between MC 80H and MC 80L for capabilities based on its similar appearance . The MC 75 seems to be quite different. team TOS.

I doubt it as it'll blur the lines between the Home One, Liberty and MC-75.

I am now hoping for an MC80 Flagship Retrofit, which is [slightly] cheaper then the others (to fit more allied ships in the list), with the fleet command upgrade slot. Cheaper as same as command MC80 but 3 squadron, 4 blue/2 red sides, single blue anti-squadron. IAfitting home for Home One title.

The Alliance has so many options for command ships, I think something more portable than a new version of a ship would be best. An MC-80H1 has precedence as a command ship, from Endor. But so does the MC-75 in Rogue One. Maybe an Officer for the Rebels could give their ship the Fleet Command upgrade slot? Requirements: It can't already have the slot, (possibly) a size restriction on the ship since this is mostly for big cruisers, possibly a flagship-only requirement.

The only canon one I'm aware off left is wingless Liberty. I would actually be cool with that being released as a Chimaera type expansion. Have them treat it as two new variants of a Home One style ship. That give us two very similar models for the same class.

Mon cal ships were supposed to vary a lot between the same ships of a single class. So this would perfectly reflect that without trying to shoehorn an entire new class between the 3 existing ones

Not if the volume reduction compared to the Liberty drops the MC80A to a size medium base.

There is a shot of the wingless Liberty and Home One side by side from RotJ. They look like the same basic size but different engine patterns and blisters.

Ther eis akso also a shot of where the SFX teams take the wingless liberty and add wings

The Reb's do need a new medium ship. They only have one right now, and while it's decent, it isn't great at any one thing in particular.

Two models of that scale is enough I reckon.

There is evidence that the actual Home One is 3km in length. A model at this scale, with corresponding stats & points cost would be cool (assuming the points cap could make it workable).

I don't think they would do that. If they are going in any direction we will probably see a scaled down MC80 and maybe a dreadnaught. Return of the medium ships!

AF1 is what I say

I would love to see the MC80A, MC80B and MC90 added, but i loves me rebels ships

I agree with you Kiwi, we could use a few more mediums. My vote is for the AF 1 and the MC40, maybe even the Liberator-Class.

Don't forget the MC40a!

Ehmm... the MC90 is a dedicated combat version of the Mon Cal cruiser line, that is at least on par with a ISD2, if not, most likely better than a ISD2.

And even though I'm a rebel player at heart, introducing the MC90 before a better Empire ship than the ISD2 has turned up, would perhaps not be such a good idea for the game balance.

I rather want the AF1, MC40, MC80 wingless and MC80B (Mon Remonda), long before the MC90 ever turns up.

I think broadly speaking that the game needs other design types rather than more and more mon cal type ships. The AF1 being an obvious choice.

I would also favour some of the EU designs that arrived in the old rebellion game, namely the Liberator class carrier and the Dauntless class.
