More Episode VIIII Expansions, Please

By railwayman001, in X-Wing Painting and Modification

I thought I would start this topic here since some of the ships I'm gonna discuss and also suggest are gonna be repaints/modifications of ships that have been or will be released. Since the first two expansion packs themed for Episode VIII: The Last Jedi were released this week, a week and a day earlier than the film is gonna be when it premieres in theaters, I'm gonna recommend what the other expansions should be. The other new ships introduced should be the Resistance version of the A-wing (the RZ-2), specifically in the colors of Crimson Squadron, and the new class of First Order shuttlecraft that, from what I've read on Wookieepedia, will debut in Episode VIII, assuming it's equipped for combat and can easily be scaled down to the game's scale relative to all other ships (except for Epic Play huge ships of course) available for the game. There should then also be reprints of both the Resistance A-wing and the Resistance Bomber in Cobalt Squadron colors, and they should be released as a single expansion pack similar to the Heroes of the Resistance Expansion Pack from last year, maybe titled "Heroes of Cobalt Squadron" (or maybe "Veterans of Cobalt Squadron" or perhaps "Veterans of the Resistance"). What do y'all think? Who should the pilots be, including unique pilots along with their unique abilities and pilot skill values? What upgrade cards should be included, and should there be unique and/or new upgrades included? How much value should the ships' shields, hulls, and attack and defense numbers be? Should the ships' firing arcs be unique as well? Finally, what tokens should be included in the packs, and what maneuvers should be allowed on the ship dials? Oh, and should there be more unique associated condition cards and tokens introduced? I know the First Order faction has two (Fanatical Devotion and I'll Show You the Dark Side), but the Resistance only has "Rattled" as a condition. (The "Suppressive Fire" condition included with Sabine's TIE Fighter does not count, and I'm aware that the only Scum condition is "A Debt to Pay" but that is currently the only one.)

It sounds like Rose and her sister are fairly involved with Cobalt Squadron, so I would imagine they will release such a pack at some point. I really want an A-wing with a tech slot, but I'd rather just have a $15 expansion.
