Rogue One Ships & Crew Options

By Boom Owl, in X-Wing

I know this has been posted a million times....but just re-watched Rogue One.

It reminded me that some day (doesn't have to be soon) it would be nice to see some of this added to the game!

Hopefully won't get lost in the shuffle with all the Last Jedi hype.

Happy Halloween Everyone.

Plus a bunch of T65 pilots!

I'd love to see a 'Defenders of Scarif' pack with the Delta-class shuttle and a TIE Reaper in it, and a Rebel 'Heroes of the Rebellion' pack with a Hammerhead Corvette and Blue squadron T-65.

One question is, would Galen be available to both Rebel and Imperial?

I can picture the Galen Erso card now;

Galen Erso 2 points

Your ship is particularly well designed +1 hull.

If a ship with Jyn Erso onboard fires at you and hits, remove your ship and anything else within range 3.

Image result for jyn erso

:P

TIE Reaper: Isn't this a troop carrier (AKA, yet another shuttle)? Did we even see it shoot in the movie? This would pretty much be a U-Wing with an attack of 0. Or maybe a TIE Shuttle. What would it bring to the game that hasn't been done?

ST-149 Shuttle: This ship is my single least favorite part of Rogue One (and I loved Rogue One). Anyone who called the gunboat a "90's looking ship" needs to take a look at this abomination. You could render it with 8 polygons without significant loss of detail! If this ship would get released for this game (because the Imps really need ANOTHER shuttle...), I would seriously reconsider my 'get at least 1 of everything' policy.

Ok, gripes are done. The rest are valid. A 'Heroes of Scariff' pack would make total sense. How about 2 blue T65s with the rebel heroes and a partisan X-wing for scum with crew cards for Saw, K2S0, etc... That is entirely plausible.

I know the possibility of this is pretty much nonexistent, but I would be perfectly fine with a most wanted type release that had the Reaper and the shuttle, and just new pilot cards for the T65, Ywing and Uwing. I really don’t want to have to get more models I don’t need.

But it just wouldn’t make much sense logistically.

Why would you think the TIE Reaper doesn't have weapons? Its not like the Lambda was blasting stuff in the movies and it has 3 die, there is no reason to suspect that a troop carrier designed to drop troops into hot landing zones would be unarmed. I would expect a 3 die attack at least. As far as what it would bring, likely more list wide support options to the table, and possibly a large ship version of adaptive ailerons so we have a highly mobile Imperial large base.

The reaper and the shuttle go into the same box as the IDT and the Gunship (Patrol Transport). Interesting shuttle craft which I wouldn't mind, but despite being a big shuttle fan I'm not even sure I would buy them.

I would be much more interested in the (new cannon size) sentinel, or the cargo shuttle (though I realise it's awkward size makes it unlikely). Just because they are nicer designs and manage to be more iconic even if the later has still only appeared in one film... The film's named after it.

Agree about the rest though.

The Reaper has at least two lasers, judging by it's appearance in SWGOH, which is also what gave it its name for the first time.

@Boom Owl you forgot one:

I've been screaming for a TIE Reaper since the movie.

How long did FFG do TFA tie-ins for X-Wing? We still have time. And hope.

You mean, "Boom Owl you forgot Rogue One ." :P

I'd be shocked if we don't see a Reaper and Krennic's shuttle at some point, and now that Biggs is fixed there's a lot more room for a T65 pack. I love Merrick so much I want him and his ludicrous grin in X Wing.

Antoc Merrick: 28 points, PS6. After you execute a manoeuvre, a friendly ship at range 1-2 may perform a free boost or barrel roll action, even if it is stressed.

K-turn boost yeah.

I would love to see a Rogue One era aces expansion. Mostly to get a T-65 fix, new Y-wing pilots and K2SO as a crew member that would add a dorsal like turret effect to the U-wing.

I thought this was funny, too! Before the movie, people on this forum were like “huh, look at this thing. I guess it’s in the movie. Looks like a sea turtle!” And then I watched the movie and felt really ripped off that we got the ship that Cassian crashes earlier in the movie (U-Wing), but no Rogue One!!! Bodhi never even flies a U-Wing!!!

I really want the real Rogue One. With both Rebel and Imperial pilots. Do it now, FFG!

He's already in the game as a crew and a pilot.

But he's so rubbish and not used, I don't blame you for not remembering him.

Yes! Should have generic and named pilots for both the Imperials and the Rebels. Would be perfect!

Bhodi is an Epic scale pilot, rather than 100/6.

I would prefer the Scurrgh way. One unique Rebel pilot and a normal set of imperials

Would love to see these too! Reaper could be Wookie Gunship style ship for empire. Cheap carrier but for only one crew to still give the TIE Shuttle a role. Shuttle could be Rebel/Imperial and have the jam action *cue Bob Marley Jamming song*

Krennic's Shuttle could have a new action like "Bolster Defenses" Action that turns on a boost to all allied ships at range 1-2 and lets them each reroll defensive die rolls.

K2-SO should have Biggs+Dengar-like effect on the ship you are on so you draw fire but when hit you shoot back. Then at the end of the round your ship takes damage/is destroyed. Would be a very interesting twist.

Two rebels. Bohdi And K2 with the 'Rogue One' rebels only title.

And two Imperial generics. With all those outstanding imperial characters we need as crew. Director K, Thrawn, Price, Lyst, Admiral what's'is'face.

Edit: And perhaps an " Unstable Kyber Crystal" card which kills everything still on the table one round after the shuttle explodes. :D
