I think my biggest question about 2.0 at this point is: How long will it be before we get new ships in second edition?

It seems like we'll be catching up on the existing ships as soon as possible, but we don't know how long that will take since it's quite a few ships for some of the factions at this point. New Resistance and First Order ships are almost certainly going to be coming now that they're independent factions, and may even come with their re-release because of that, but I'm curious about all factions because new ships are what's most exciting for me.

Personally, I still want the Luxury 3000 Space Yacht. It's the last ship that has nostalgia for me (thanks to Star Wars Galaxies) that isn't already playable in standard X-Wing, but I'm not sure how likely it is anymore. It was featured in Clone Wars, so it's still within canon, and apparently is known to conceal guns for Scum users. The Lady Luck just re-entered canon again as well (although the various sources I checked were inconsistent as to whether it's confirmed to be a Luxury 3000 Space Yacht). The Yacht in general should definitely be a Scum option. For Lando's, I think it would probably be Rebels, but Resistance is perhaps a possibility based on the timeline.

If it's not Resistance, does anyone think it has a chance? Looking it up again, I guess the scale might disqualify it, but I'm not sure how accurate that scale still is. It sounds a bit big to me. Does anyone know how it came across in Clone Wars?

What other new ships are other people still looking forward to after Second Edition catches us up on existing ships?

I would guess episode IX, possibly Solo, or other new standalones.

There's going to be a new film a year for the rest of our foreseeable lives and probably an animated tv series running alongside it. Designers get bored eventually.

I guess my main concern there was that the main movies are Resistance/First Order era and the tv show is now Resistance with Rebels over.

The spin-offs have both been Galactic Civil War era though, so I guess that window is still open.

Anything that hasn't been added that anyone is itching for though?

I bet we see completely new ships in wave II and that it drops before the end of the year.

I'd love to see that new heavy tie from Solo on the table.

If they delve into Clone Wars, there’s a bevy of new ships available for the game.

no idea if solo provided anything new, havn't seen it

but honestly, wouldn't be at all bummed if we've basically seen the end of ships for the OT factions. They've got a large enough roster as is, and the ST factions really need fattening up

This. So so much this. Please FFG this will convince me to go 2.0

Well assuming they want a decent equality in ship options among the factions they'll have to add Resist/FO ships. Obviously the next movie will be an option, but I know I've also seen a few people want the resistance transport Leia was on, and I'm sure they could whip up some new TIE variant.

Who knows what they will come out with honestly.

But my wish list would include...

Resistance

• New A-wing
• Transport from TFA (support ship)

First Order

• Not a clue

Rebels

• Dornean Gunship (the only OT ship not produced)
• Hammerhead Corvette
• Blue Squadron X-wing

Empire

• KDY Provider-Class Cargo Ship (in retaliation for the GR-75)
• Imperial Heavy Cargo Shuttle (Imperials need more shuttles)

Scum

• GX-1 Shorthauler
• SS-54 Assault Ship
• Aurore Class Freighter
• GR-75 repaint for scum
• Gozanti Blacksun repaint

Besides variations and pilots for the classics (Pops Krail, General Merrick), I'm still waiting on three ships from the OT that have yet to make an appearance.

SS-54 Assault Freighter!

Jas Emari and Sugi as named pilots, PS 5 and 4

Two Generics? PS 1 and 3?

3 die front arc, and 2 die rear arc, (listed as turret so perhaps rear 180 arc)

Large/Medium Base

Canon named ship so we get Halo Title.

Two Crew slots would make their good ship for scum. Perhaps the Halo title turns a crew into a gunner slot? And adds an illicit slot?

Either way this is a good ship with multiple cannon pilots and a great way for scum to get a double crew ship.

Sentinel-class shuttle, only in scale OT ship not represented in the game.

I kind of want to see the Heavy Tie from Solo, if for no other reason than to have it where it is 2 dice primary with its bullseye and right part of its arc but has a 3 primary out the arc to the left of the bullseye arc. I don't know how good or bad that would be, but would allow for something different and probably interesting flying where you try to balance keeping arc with the left part of the ship the bullseye to trigger EPT/abilities.

Sentinel shuttle would like to have a word with that. And it could be the answer to the 4 dice primary that the Rebels get 2 of, and that the FO will likely get with the Upsilon. Besides, it also serves as a vehicle to get Thrawn and other Rebels themed crew options out there due to its heavy use in that show to help push sales of it. As for the ship itself from some googling stuff it could be different due to:

- Faster than a Lambda, mix between a Lambda and a Tie Bomber

- 25% more hull than a Lambda

- 2-3 crew slots + 1 gunner

- Possible 4 dice primary

- Can take missiles

- Could possibly take a turret upgrade, was said to have an ion turret on board

With TIE Silencer in First Order Faction, I hope we wil see TIE Avenger in the Empire, and why not, the Missile Boat.

R-41 Starchaser is an option for Scum faction.

• H-Wing
• H-60 Tempest
• Slave II
• TIE Predator
• TIE Oppressor
• TIE Avenger
• TIE Hunter
• Ixiyen-class Attack Craft
• R-41 Starchaser
• Devaab type Fighter
• M-22 Krayt

I won't be surprised though if prequels factions enter the game, FFG would make a ton of money off of the millennials that remember the prequel ships fondly.

I did not like the movies but I would drop serious cash on clone wars era x-wing and leggion.

Luckily for us the game has nothing to do with bad writing or acting and everything to do with the awesome ships. And clone wars is full of great looking ships.

Please ffg do it...

N-1 Naboo starfighter, & all of its actions can link into a barrel roll !! (Including barrel roll into barrell roll, that will be its ship ability)

I would definitely take a Jedi Starfighter. I'd take an ARC-170 as well, but we already have those for some reason. I think the new rules open a lot of possibilities for the Clone Wars armies to be distinct factions as well.

You may execute a barrel roll after fully completing a maneuver. A free B-roll every turn even on reds. because spinning is a a good trick.

I'm still convinced we'll see the younger Millennium Falcon show up as a Scum ship. We have the RZ-2 A-Wing for Resistance and that First Order shuttle from TLJ. There's the new Resistance animated show which I'm SURE will give FFG plenty of material to use. Now, while I'd LOVE to get another two factions out of The Clone Wars with the Republic and CIS, we sorta run into an odd issue. While the Resistance and First Order are indeed lacking ships, there is still more media being made to flesh those out, but with the Republic and CIS, there's nothing new coming out to bolster the handful of ships each side had, so once they pop out the last few ships... poof, that's it. Those factions are complete.

Not really sure what all the H-Wing brings to the table that the Y-Wing or K-Wing doesn't already bring, but would definitely buy at least one for the model if they made one.

You're correct, which is why I'm very glad "Resistance" is happening as soon as it is.

Doubtful. The Scurrg has its cannons on its side, and it doesn't get weaker inside the bullseye arc. The Jumpmaster's fire arc originates from the side as well.
The X-Wings also shoot from their sides. The decimator's turret is in the back of the ship. Few ships have their cannons placed in the exact middle of the ship, where the fire arc originates.

The fact is, the fire arc placed is in the middle because of an abstraction. There are many other abstractions in the game, barrel rolls for example don't make you move after you finished your maneuver, but during. This is why going over a rock robs you of an action, because actions happen DURING the maneuver. But, obviously that cannot be easily represented in the game without extremely finicky maneuver templates and rules, so we abstract it.

So I don't think we will get some clunky rules to represent such a novel concept, that is absent for other, similarly unorthodox weapon placements.

~ N-1 with “Ani” pilot: When firing proton torpedoes at a capital ship, add 1,138 crits.

~ Since we still don’t have any ship released under the name GUNBOAT, I am still waiting for that.

Throughout six years since the release of the game, the Alliance accumulated 17 ship types + 3 that are leaving with 2.0.

I can name 15 Republic ship types using only mainstream canon sources, and 20+ with more obscure ones and Legends. Enough to survive six years, and I'm sure we will get new Clone Wars content within the next six years.
