GUNBOAT ACES PACK

By Boba Rick, in X-Wing

I really feel like we need an aces pack next year to add additional GUNBOAT pilots and pretty new GUNBOAT paint schemes.

You know what. You got the goddamn gunboat. Can we PLEASE stop having to bring it up every 5 minutes. It's becoming even more unbearable than it already was.

At least they're incredibly mediocre, so there's that.

Something like this (Maarek Stele is not optional):

With the official Gunboat full reveal, I converted my custom expansion to an Ace pack:

I agree with all of those, although the new information we have about the GUNBOAT means that all of those pilots are a little bit overpriced. Also, I would like the customs configuration to do something with weapons disabled, perhaps, “when attacking with a primary weapon you may ignore weapons disabled tokens”? That way you could SLAM>Linked Ions

Also, SLAM+Bomb ‘boats would be hilarious ! :wub:

Just for you....

*Chanting*

Gunboat! Gunboat! Gunboat!

And just for you, more Gunbiat paint schemes and more pilots are always welcome.

But we don't even have the Gunboat yet! Why does it need aces!?

1. Cause it's awesome
2. Cause many in the forum's feel like they had a tiny part in making it come true, and that's a great feeling
3. Cause Marek Steele is not included in the base pack
4. and last but not least, imps could still use some love in upgrade diversity, so any aces pack is welcomed

Emperor's hand is... actually pretty cool.

I feel like it might be overcosted by one point though. Expertise is powerful for 4 points but it has a built in counter: stress.

Oh, indeed! I made those before the full reveal. Need to get back to them (and Talon Squadron could be kicked up to PS3).

@FTS Gecko ? @Odanan ? You know what to do with this one.

Obviously, there will be a Sabine pilot card included.

And of course Boba Fett would steal one for Scum or something like that....

It must be so awful for you having to read people discussing something they like and enjoy.

Rho Rho Rho Your Boat is a very good squad Tier 1 if not Tier S On arrival.

Yeah, just keep it to a sensible discussion, or at least to the million page thread actually about it. It's just a little pathetic now.

But hey, whatever floats your boat.

You raise an interesting point. Just how buoyant are Star Wings, anyway?

Off to Mon Calamari, or some other oceanic world! (Does it matter if the planet is primarily saltwater or freshwater?)

I think it's super cool, but honestly I think it should absolutely be AT LEAST 8 points. It's PRE-NERF PALP in an EPT slot!

It would be SO COOL if they could get it right.

Almost. It only works on blanks and only on the ship that equipped it. Three to four points seems fair.

Awesome!

So what do you think about the Customs Configuration change, since the other GUNBOAT titles pull some weird jank with weapons disabled? I think if you added “you may ignore weapons disabled tokens while performing primary weapon attacks” really gives Linked Ions a home on the right ship, the GUNBOAT.
