Where's the Beef? (Or, the Argument for an Imperial Shuttle)

By Darth Meanie, in X-Wing

The B/SF-17 is misnamed. It should be the B/SF-52. That thing has as much Hull as a Gozanti cruiser.

The Imperials are apparently loathe to use both shield generators and durasteel.

Sure would be nice to have a couple more ships with some heft to them. . .like a shuttle.

I'd like to see the one from Clone Wars that sort of looks like a discus. It rotates 90° for landing. Used in a few episodes by Anakin and Ahsoka.

We actually have two combat shuttles in the movies that haven't hit the tabletop. There's that big Strikerish looking thing from Rogue One, then there's the assault transport from Force Awakens.

It would be an awesome expac to get this as an Imperial shuttle. Then include the stolen Rebel versions of both it and the Shuttle Tydirium.

Cargo upgrade slots for the cargo shuttle! More epic stuffs leaking into 100/6.

I still hope we see the Sentinel shuttle one day. Even as a 1 point epic ship would be cool.

never a bad thing... usually.

I still think you should be able to field epic ships as just obstacles in 100/6 tournaments.

TIE Reaper :). We could do with a highly manoeuvrable large ship. Could it have Adaptive Ailerons? :lol:

oh the torpedo.... I thought you meant the bomb XD.

ugh.... I need more coffee....

they would have to FAQ some special rules for seismics and epics but they could make it work.

Now that were getting the Gunboat, the shuttle we need is a JV7 !

Make them Epic only. Flavor without consequence.

you mean the T-6 Jedi shuttle? Maybe if it shows up in something GCW or sequel eras we will get it. I like the model, but I want pilots from the time frame this game pulls from.

Me too

Maybe it's just me, but that looks a tad potent for the price...

Really? A transport with the agility of an X-wing?

Yea were is the beef? I wish they would finally get around to releasing the real gunboat...
