An Imperial Crew Carrier

Seriously.

The TIE Caravan is just awful, the Reaper is neat looking.

I wanna see the Reaper as a large base with green turns, and 2 crew slots. Gimme a ship that can finally mount Hux usefully, and can tote Palp on a base that can actually meaningfully engage the enemy and doesn't cost 50+ points.

2/2/4/2, maybe, with green 1 turns, white 2s, red 3s, a stop, no turnaround. And ship it with a title that adds a third crew slot and a bomb slot, and is also open to the Striker.

Guys, these are all ugly and awful. What about the TIE Reaper from Rogue one?

Tie reapers for crew and aggressive tactics. Tie scouts for teams. Yes get all those epic teams into the basic 100pts game.

TIE Reaper, anyone?

Actually, we already have the Lambda, TIE Shuttle, and UPS.

So, just to make sure I'm following my own thread:

A. Players complain the the last thing the Empire needs is another shuttle.

B. I suggest a non-shuttle possibility for Imperial crew.

C. Everyone votes for the Reaper SHUTTLE.

It's not ugly?

I haven’t.

Subjective. Looks like a shuttle to me.

Correct! ;)

I like a lot of what you say Meanie but you give no compelling argument over why the Scout, an ancient, little known, EU invention should be chosen over the Reaper which has appeared in a recent feature film in a cool battle sequence.

I've never said I don't want another shuttle. I don't want another BAD shuttle, but I'd be happy with a good one.

honestly; what I feel the Empire is really missing from it's line up is a ship like the Shadow Caster; A fast pursuit craft.

Make it a "Anti Smuggler" ship; give it abilities in line with that; Jamming/Blocking/Removing.

Give us that ship; but drop the illicit for another crew and am happy.

Throw in a crew that blocks the use of illicit and one that scrambles Target Locks i'll send FFG chocolates.

Add Thrawn and i'll ask for nothing from FFG again.

Lol "if we make this; people may stop buying"

In second thought, let me change.

"I'll buy two of every expansion, for next 2 wave after that"

.......I can sell blood right?

Shuttle stigma.

The notion is this is a crew carrier without being a shuttle, per se.

I would love to see the Reaper (and Krennic) in the game.

See above the above.

In any event, I'm not trying to compel anything, but I does seem to me there is a lot of shuttle angst on these boards. Just doing a little brain storming is all. I'm all in with @the1hodgy's pursuit craft statement above, which I think the Reaper would fit nicely.

Lastly, if FFG was asking for my opinion, I'd go with the Sentinel-class Shuttle over the Reaper, because:

A. I like it, too, and I'm not adverse to another shuttle.

B. It has been in Rebels a lot, so they could add a lot of Rebels-based Imperial officers to the game.

C. It looks more like a "typical" Imperial crew carrier to me (the Reaper is more "specialized").

D. It offers the chance to have a cross over with Hondo.

But somewhere down the road I would love to have all 3 in the game. I mean, as far as releases go, I would be OK with TIE/shuttle/TIE/shuttle ad infinitum.
