How much pull do you think FFG has over the Rebels story team?

None. Besides, Rebels has been done for 6 months to a year. My point is the only way that the VT-49 gets another pack is we see it on either big or small screen, which in of itself is not likely.

I would also love to see a Tie Interceptor boost aces pack, but they could tie it in with a generic boost for all imperial ships with no shields.

EPT - survival instinct - after rolling for defense or bomb damage, you may change one die face to any other result.

And for the large ships if it's a Decimator boost:

Upgraded sensor suite

modification

Imperial Large Ship only. Gain the Systems upgrade slot if you do not already have it.

Cost 1

Explosive Countermeasures

systems slot

Action, prevent any bombs at range 1-2 from detonating.

Cost 1

could be helpful for the Punisher too

Truly, the only way I expect to see a decimator rerelease is if a movie or show features it. The Millenium Falcon has that recognition, wheras the VT-49 does not. But hey, if Thrawn flies around in one, it is assured.

I think you're right about this. It would be great to see, plus you could make a villain with a ship that is actually on par with the heroes instead of the hero's bringing down an Imperial Star Destroyer every time they encounter the empire. It really cheapens the might of the Imperial Navy. An even fight would be much more interesting and the Decimator, and Raider are great platforms for that story.

I'd love to see a Phantom update which involves them *NOT* cloaking. I'm not sure how that gets accomplished, or what the finished product looks like, but it seems like the most interesting premise to me.

However, I think the Phantom is likely the hardest ship to come up with a good fix design. In some ways, it already does what it's supposed to do fairly well. It isn't like a Punisher or U-Wing which is just outclassed by a cheaper arrival, or an X-Wing which is just vanilla and a little weak. If that's even true. Flight Assist Astromech is pretty strong, and made a 22-point X-Wing a decent filler ship (likely 21 soon), and Wedge and Wes are pretty reasonable ships at their point cost. With a Phantom, I guess some boring stat improvements would help the ship (Krennic looks likely good...), but that just seems boring.

A V-38 title that made them cheaper at the cost of their cloak action would be cool.
