Gunboat

Over in the X-Wing forum there is a very long topic asking for the Gunboat and they got it. There was even the suggestion, if I read it right, that FFG do take notice of the forums.

I've started this topic as a long shot, not knowing if it'll ever happen, but sometimes long shots pay off.

Alternatively this topic will fall off page 1, sink low in the forums and be forgotten for all eternity. It's up to those who would like to see space stations to keep this topic alive.

Either way, though I've started playing Armada I'm holding back on collecting more since I have models I'd like to see, have a reasonable expectation of seeing, and want to make sure I have enough savings to splash out on once they're available. While space stations are not on that list of models to save up for, I'd certainly spend to get them. Even though not technically a space station, the Scariff shield gate is an example of one such impulse buy, as are habitation domes from Rebels. If that Skyhook appeared as an Epic scaled model I'd make sure I could buy it on release day.

That's kinda where I stand on getting what you want from FFG. Sure they added the gunboat, but only after they added a number of even more esoteric ships (in my opinion). If it took that long with that huge of a thread, I suspect we won't be able to have much impact in our smaller section of the forums.

Wow this is pretty cool stuff!

Very cool.

Guess I'll have to do some modelling and painting. Or I'll give them to my brother since he enjoys that side of the hobby.

To continue the discussion, if FFG were to make space stations would it necessitate some kind of neutral grouping of available ships/stations/squads so both sides have access? Are there lore examples of Rebel only space stations? I think we can safely assume the Empire had many stations only they possessed or built. We do know there are many third party stations out there, and we have examples such as Golan and XQ platforms.

Empire at War had some Rebel Space Stations.

In Rebels there was an abandoned station. Though the Rebels just grabbed some supplies and left, it's just as possible that a Rebel cell could use an old abandoned station from the Clone Wars as a base of operations.

There's also the possibility that an otherwise neutral space station could be being attacked by the Empire, forcing them to side with the Rebellion, because they were helping the fleet.

Legends has a lot of cool stations I would like to see models of, but if there could be one, it would be one of the XQ's. I remember in the old X-Wing sims all factions used them. It would also be cool to have interchangeable parts for easier or harder stations.
