Personally, I'm really hoping for new, slightly altered molds on the TIE Defender and the E-wing:
Sleeker, "X7/elite" style new Defender would be cool, and consequently make the 1.0 models even more special.
Alt e-wing could accomplish the same thing.
It would just make having the 1.0 models that much cooler. I'd love some variety on some of these "outlier" ships.
What do you guys think?
Edited by BucknifeThe Kihraxz in one of its many configurations is the one I want to see most ahead of the E-wing. That and an articulated B-wing.
I saw the thread title and immediately thought of the Defender "Elite" from Rebels. I love the longer sleeker look of it. The E-wing also needs a face lift and the Kihraxz is even depicted on cards in another configuration that is SO much cooler than the one we have now and actually makes more sense with the description of it on its cards (derived from the X-Wing design). So, you guys have already covered all of the bases I was thinking of.
I believe a new smaller Silencer is already in the works, making it more in the proper scale. That would be very nice.
On a detail note - I kinda hope they'll work on new molds for all the ships from Rebels. They captured the look of the ships as depicted in the series, but they look "cartoony" (because they ARE) instead of like true highly detailed ships created by kitbashing crazies working at ILM. They're too simple and I want more greeblies so that a VCX-100 can sit next to a YT-1300 and look like they come from the same shipyards on Correlia.
Flappy StarViper, B Wing, T70.
Dockable/Undockable Ghost/Phantom combo
E Wing without stupid cockpit gun
Vaksai K-Fighter
Spinning turrets for everything, because they're SO much better as arc markers than the fiddly base tokens.

This!
I am so close to doing it myself...
Alternative Kihraxz would be nice, either the Vaksai style or any of the other various styles- even with three currently I'd buy a couple alternates.
Mk 2 style Scyks, bubble-cockpit and swing-wing Z-95s, and a better E-wing (I had to mod mine by cutting off the roof cannon and putting it under the nose).
Articulating B-wing would be awesome.
YV-666 with fins is a long shot but would be cool.
Mk 2 Scyks.
An official Vaksai (though I do think the Alien Luxury Miniatures ones are really good).
I'd like to see actual royal guard interceptors with the wing extensions.
I'd like to see Rebels-style Defenders, although I wouldn't buy any as I've already repainted 3 defenders with white panels and there's no way I'm doing that again.
Of the models I'd actually buy, I am hoping to see a new Ghost kit with dockable Phantom I and II shuttles. Ideally all 3 ships in one big box. I already have a (painted!) VCX-100 but I'd buy another if they made one like that.
An E-wing that doesn't look silly would be great too.
I think the top gun on E-wings are fine, but I agree on all other points. I would like to add a properly scaled A-wing to the list. (No, they are NOT 9.6 meters long! They would probably be heavier than X-wings if they were that large). By my calculations, based on the Y-wing's cannon length, the A-wing in RotJ should be just less than 8 meters long, much smaller than the 9.6 cited almost everywhere. The model is 36.2mm, it should be 30.16mm.

This pretty much covers it, IMO. E-Wing I don't care much about unless there's a "non-stupid" canon version.
Dockable/undoackable Nashtah Pup, now that it might actually be semi-usable.
Banshee Shadowcaster would be cool...
I would not be against a scaled up K-Wing, I always imagined those things to be quite large at least a wing span of the M. Falcon and as long as x-wing. and half an A-wing.
If they found some star wars galaxies hull layouts for the black sun and cartel ships for scum that would be awesome. In game my kihrax looked more like the e wing, and my scyk had those decimator style pointy bits. The kimogila too. Lots of options there for scum and villainy 'aces' style packs. The minis already scream micro-machines from the 90's.
It would be nice if they updated the Rebel Falcon's dish.

I didnt really think of this till I started trying to paint one, but a transforming S Foil Arc-170 with higher detail and maybe a slightly larger scale.

No, just having them take the time to add that last rod in the dish and fixing it to have a screen accurate looking dish for the OT era falcon.
A to scale YV-666 would be cool, and obviously the khiraxz variants, but the big ones for me though are the A-wings, which are waaay to big at present(Theyre in something like 1/220 scale). Just putting them on the board looks wrong
That said, we wont be getting new sculpts for that. FFG deliberately fudged scales to make models certain sizes even when its visually way off. I doubt they'll change policy now
I know it isn't popular due largely to its resemblance to the male anatomy but I would love to see the Scimitar bomber replace the TIE Punisher. It just looks more like an advancement of the TIE bomber line rather than the "Need more firepower bomber! Me bolt on extra bomb pods for more boom boom!!" look of the punisher
Never was a fan of that ship. If they would have left the neck off of that design, it would have been a halfway decent. The wing forms are nice, though.

I could see that. if the neck was half the length it is now and the cockpit shorter and more ball shaped it would have a slightly TIE advanced look to it if you squint really hard.
Movable wings for: Starviper, Starwing and B-Wing.
Vaksai.
Larger Resistance Bomber, YV-666 and Upsilon.
Smaller TIE Silencer.
Ghost where you can actually dock Phantoms.
