What are your top 5 favorite fighters in Star Wars?

By sf1raptor, in X-Wing

1. Y-wing, because of all the jokes in the book series and how much i like the concept.

2. Upsilon shuttle, come on, its entrance was so baddas!

3. Yt-2400, cause SotE.

4. Lambda shuttle. I have a thing for shuttles.

5. Z-95 for its simplicity.

1. T-65 X-wing. Not only is it flown by some of the best EU characters (Wedge, Corran, Tycho, Luke, etc) but it's also visually appealing and has a functional concept.

2. Eta-2. I loved that scene in RotS so much. The clone wars further highlighted just how badass Anakin was in a ship that could keep up with him.

3. TIE Defender. It's a very cool, bold design with EU representation as a superior platform to literally everything else. What's not to love?

4. Millenium Falcon. It's just so iconic. The book on it was fairly amazing too - detailing how it became so special.

5. I've exhausted all my true favourites, so I'd say this is a tie between Lambdas, TIE Interceptors, A-wings, Starvipers, Tantive IV and Chiss Clawcraft.

I thought it was gunboat x5

Give it a couple of months.

1. X-Wing. Iconic, and an awesome looking ship

2. TIE Fighter. Again, iconic, and the perfect 'faceless' ship for the bad guys

3. Y-wing. A great look, and perfectly fits the rebel style of 'using whatever we can'

4. TIE Interceptor. Like the TIE fighter, but meaner and cooler looking.

5: ARC-170. A great 'predecessor' to the X-wing, with a cool chunky businesslike look to it.

Ok for reals this time:

...

5 Gunstar from The Last Starfighter (might as well be a SW movie, it’s better than the prequels)

Death Blossom

Modification

12 points, Gunstar Only

At the start of the combat phase you may discard this card. If you do, each other ship at Range 1-3 suffers 5 damage. Then suffer 2 damage and assign this ship 2 ion tokens and a weapons disabled token.

Would have a crazy dial too I imagine.

I dunno, the Gunstar looked a bit slow, but it would have a PWT and at least two Missile slots. I would give it two K turns and Trolls because the engine placement is great for maneuverability. I love that Death Blossom attack.

I don't think it would have a fast dial but I could easily see some speed 1 Talon rolls or S-Loops. Maybe even a white stop maneuver.

Come on @DarthEnderX, you know you want to fit the Gunboat in that list.

Did I misread the title and it said Top 50?

I'm just going by the number of posts you've contributed to the Gunboat thread. I'm sure you probably account for 20 or so pages yourself!

Yeah, but I don't actually like it. I just like the game TIE Fighter.

I never liked the Gunboat or Missile Boat. I always thought the flyable ships in TIE Fighter should have all been TIE variants, and if I was remaking the game the Gunboat would be the TIE Hunter and the Missile Boat would be the TIE Punisher.

But I can't change the past, the Gunboat was made, now it's iconic to the people that loved those games. I'm glad the people that loved those games and actually liked the Gunboat will get to have it in XWM.

But that doesn't make me like the ship itself, but I'll be happy to be able to shoot them down.

1. Khiraxz Fighter. The reason for which I entered in this game.

2. T-47 Snowspeeder. Because is agile, simply and beautiful.

3. X Wing. Opening and closing wings!

4. Firespray-31. The batmovil of Star Wars.

5. Tie Hunter. Because that **** good looking Tie and that awesome mission of Rebel Strike.

1st: TIE-Advanced
2nd: X-Wing (both t65 nad t70)
3rd: A-Wing
4th: TIE-Interceptor
5th: Y-Wing

The GUNBOAT is not in this list cause the OP asked for fighters not for deities.

In game:

B-Wing

A-Wing

Starviper

Scyks

Shadowcaster or Ghost

Film, TV & Books:

B-Wing

A-Wing

X-Wing

Ghost

Tie Defender

TIE Interceptor

A-Wing

TIE Bomber

X-Wing

YT-2400

Thematically / lore -- YT2400, Tie Interceptor, x-wing, starviper, Firespray. No particular order. Probably down to interceptor vs t65 for final pick although the firespray would do well with my enjoyment of the bounty hunter lore.

In miniatures - right now the Jumpmaster, the Kirhaxz (g4h proxies included), tie defender, yt2400, and ... Not sure yet. Not the kwing, not the Scurrg. Maybe the SF?
