What New Ships Post-2.0?

By Jokubas, in X-Wing

Scum - Gauntlet fighter - large base mandalorian ship. Maul could be a pilot as well.

I'm really surprised this beautiful ship isn't already in X-wing. It is bigger than thought though. Longer than the Ghost, but sleeker and less volume than the ghost.

I would really like to see more Galaxies ships make it into X-Wing, like the Dunelizard, Ixiyen, or Rihkxyrk.

Sentinel Shuttle

Forward Arc: 4

Evade: 0

Hull: 10

Shield: 4

Upgrade Bar:

3 Crew, 1 Gunner, Cannon, Turret, Modification

Dial

0: Red Stop

1: Blue Banks and Straight

2: Blue Straight, White banks, Red turns

3: White Straight and banks, Red turns

4: White Straight

Other than the new Heavy Tie from Solo for imperials, and MAYBE krennic's shuttle, it's gonna be mostly resistance and first order ships for awhile to get them up to par with the original 3 factions I'd imagine.

Along with adding republic and cis factions (fingers crossed).

I actually don't imagine we'll get many new ships for 2.0. I'm expecting mostly re-released ships.

I still require:

TIE Hunter
TIE Oppressor
TIE Avenger

And I'm sure the new TIE/rb from Solo is coming.

Ark Angel. Just give me the Ark Angel with Aphra, and BT and 000, and I will be happy.

I'm still convinced we'll see the younger Millennium Falcon

I suggest we start referring to the 'Solo' era Falcon as the Millennial Falcon.

The SS-54 gunship from Life Debt would make a unique and interesting rebel ship. Medium to large, mostly forward with a 2-dice mobile arc and 3-dice primary. It can move side to side in the canon, so you could give it some interesting maneuver options.

Resistance will get the RZ-2 A-Wing for certain. Now that First Order and Resistance are standalone factions we'll likely see it as part of wave 2.

First Order doesn't have any kind of bomber so my guess is that FFG and Lucasarts will be putting their heads together and coming up with some kind of a TIE Bomber for them, much like they did with the Imperial Raider when they needed a huge ship that fit the scale for Epic.

Betond that, I think the fact that Calculate is a droid-only action all but confirms that Clone Wars factions are coming. That would give us Jedi Starfighters, more ARCs Naboo N-7 Starfighters and a bunch of droid Starfighters.

And Solo will give the Empire that weird heavy TIE that was briefly shown and almost certainly a Scum version of the Falcon if they don't want to use it to jumpstart a Smugglers & Scoundrels faction. In any case, Scum should probably incorporate at least some of the freighters already in the game into their ranks at some point. Maybe pilots for different factions in the re-releases of the YT-1300, -2400 and VCX?

Hoping most of the new ships after 2.0 is released aren't just conversions of existing ones. Still hoping we'll get TIE Hunter, Skipray Blastboat, Sentinel-class landing craft, Raven's Claw, Foxcatch, Pursuer-class enforcement ship and Sith Infiltrator.

Well, with the First Order and the Empire 'parting ways', you lose the option of ".....And Quickdraw" that was almost a default bolt-in to existing squads. Equally, the TIE Defender is likely picking up a sizeable cost increase, with Full Throttle, Shield Upgrade and Engine Upgrade now baked in.

Whilst I wouldn't want to replace one dominant ship with another, something akin to a TIE/sf (medium cost, decent toughness, not massively manoeuvrable, high firepower) fighter might be appreciated, and the TIE/rb Heavy Fighter looks like a good candidate to fill a gap in ship archetypes that's opened up in the empire's ranks.

A putative First Order TIE Bomber was talked about prior to The Last Jedi, even if not seen. But yes, something capable of carrying bombs would be nice.

A Last Jedi poster did actually show what looked like a bomber.

I wouldn't mind seeing the TIE hunter.

I doubt we'll see the TIE avenger just because it's too similar to the TIE silencer in appearance and function. I know the latter is now a different faction, but they're both still TIEs and frankly (if I'm being cynical about TLJ creators) it kind of undercuts the 'making of' arguments where they explain how they came up with the concept for Kylo Ren's TIE fighter as opposed to going "any old concept designs which haven't been used? An improved version of Vader's TIE advanced that's spikier? Sounds Good! Yoink! But in a totally original way, obviously."

Plus, the TIE hunter and TIE avenger are also kind of too similar to each other.

With the Defender moved up to the Empire's 'super ship' there's going to be tactical space between the TIE/x1 and the TIE/x7 for another ship, whether you consider it a 'budget TIE defender', 'up-gunned TIE advanced' or 'shielded TIE interceptor'. The fact that the TIE hunter carries torpedoes, not missiles (which most non-bomber imperial ships use for ordnance) gives it nicely different options to the Advanced or Defender.

I should probably update the Unreleased Ships List at some point.

Also in Canon it's used by two bounty hunters one in the cartoons seen multiple times and in Star wars Aftermath. The ship has a name and modifications so it can come with title too!

I want it to be the next scum ship as it's even quoted as being used by bounty hunters.

Canon:

Legends:

  • Empire: Rogue Shadow, TIE Avenger, TIE Hunter...
  • Rebels: Raven's Claw, T-Wing?
  • Scum: Skipray Blastboat, YT-2000 and several SW Galaxies ships.

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.

The new tie seems like a great obvious choice for the Empire. Also, Scum Millennium Falcon.

I am more curious about the Resistance and FO. Other than the A-Wing what else could Resistance and FO get? (Please don't mention that stupid troop transport - it is a completely depressing ship.)

The Last Jedi movie ads had what looked like First Order bombers in some pics. So maybe those? I'm sure a bunch of cool new ships will come out of the new Resistance show premiering in the fall.

There might be some new ships in the Resistance/FO era comics that weren't in the movies.

I've probably used up all of my pleas over the last four years but...

...this please. If only for the Twi'lek Dancers crew card and Cloak Closet and Swimming Pool modifications.

So, upgrades that give stress tokens and a new condition Jealousy to nearby ships that see the party boat and all the people having fun on it?

Pretty much!

Twi'lek Dancers
Limited, Scum Only

During the end phase, select an enemy ship at range one and wave coquettishly at your opponent. That ship may only be assigned a 2 straight maneuver next turn.

I'd like to see a Scum Mining Guild TIE Fighter. I know scum already has a few cheap filler ships, but I just really like the look of the cut out panels and the paint job.

So basically the Twi'lek dancers distract other pilots into flying off the edge or into asteroids? Pft, I'm down!
