With the first small-base non-TIE ship of the imperials being the Gunboat, what other ships could follow it?
(wiki-links would be nice too ;P)
non-TIE crafts
Enjoy!
Blastboat!!
V-Wing!!

This one could be potentially confusing, but I'd say the Howlrunner is an option.

Good choices!
Reading about the Skipray (GAT-12h) there could be a unique place for it. Give it 2-3 primary weapon rating with a 360-degree arc to represent the turret "Tru-Lok" laser cannons, one each of torpedo, missile, crew and cannon slots, high health/shields coupled with low agility (as shown above) and a limited dial. That way it's a heavier gunship that won't make the Gunboat obsolete.

Maybe we could get a new partybus?

Action: Once per game, empty your playload.
Place a Dead Floating Frozen Stormtrooper Squad token at R1 from your rear guide. This counts as an obstacle.

That's a strange title. Or would it be a crew upgrade usable only on the AAL?

Well, I suppose it could be applicable to any other non-space-combat atmospheric craft used to ferry crew/troopers/personnel to a planet's surface that has no other use in a space dogfight game. . .
OTOH, it could have the dubious distinction of being the first ship with an attack of 0.
(It is only armed with an antipersonnel cannon.)
As ugly as it is, at least this one is armed for a space fight:

Well we have phantoms and aggressors every where. So that ship has sailed
Love the Howlrunner

I guess I should also mention I often have a very dry sense of humor.
BLASTBOAT!!!
Also, the Blastboat is probably a large-base ship. It'll be the Imperial Jumpmaster. Triple torp-Blastboats will completely dominate and destroy the meta until they get hit by the nerf hammer.

Brut, even. I figured as much and responded anyways. I do like the look of that ship; too bad it's a Higgins Boat in space.

Not before everyone on the competitive circuit buys 3 of them, though.

As an Epic player, it's hard to relate to the "But I had to buy THREE !" mentality.
I'm not sure there's a ship that I fly a lot that I don't have three of. . .

I buy most ships in pairs because everyone needs a wing mate in Epic Play. I do have 17 TIE/LNs, if you count Sabine’s, though. I also have a half dozen T-65s.

that sounds like everything wrong with the meta in one ship
Non-TIEs:
ARC-170
V-Wing
Eta-2
I-7 Howlrunner
A-9 Vigilance
Scimitar Bomber
Skipray Blastboat
Interstellar Tug (as a tractor beam powerhouse)
Chiss Clawcraft (alright this one is sort of a TIE)
Bigger and better Gunboats!
TIEs:
TIE Droid
TIE Opressor
TIE Reaper
TIE Predator
TIE Ex Mk I, II, III, IV, V
TIE Scout
I still have the opinion that the Skipray should have 10 hull and 4 shields.
And a title which boosts Ion cannons as the Skiprays ions were comparable to small Capital ships Ion cannons.

Ion Cannon Battery
Imperial Raider Expansion Pack
If this attack hits, the defender suffers 1 critical damage and receives 1 ion token. Then cancel all dice results.
Still kinda underwhelming, TBH.

I'll bet you measure your capital ships in cubits.

A-9 Vigilance (of these two Dark Empire designs this one gets my vote, so funky and a HUGE gun)
Scimitar Bomber (this is so much a TIE except in name)
Skipray Blastboat (guaranteed a large base ship)
Interstellar Tug (as a tractor beam powerhouse)
Chiss Clawcraft (alright this one is sort of a TIE) (even more day of a TIE than the Scimitar bomber!)

While I love GUNBOAT I don’t see how she can be made better without overshadowing all non-GUNBOATs, she’s practically perfect in every way. And bigger? Enough noobs confuse her for the space cow already!
that list is pretty comprehensive but my beloved V-19 Torrent is missing, as well as Y-wings and X-wings. Shame. Oh, and Clone Headhunters as well.
