What Ships We Have in 2.0 and What Might be Coming

By Animewarsdude, in X-Wing

Rebellion - X-Wing, Y-Wing, Modified YT-1300, A-Wing, B-Wing, HWK-290, Z-95, E-Wing, YT-2400, K-Wing, VCX-100, Phantom 1, ARC-170, Tie Fighter, U-Wing, Auzituck Gunship, Phantom 2

Current Count: 17 Ships

N-1 Starfighter - Featured in Battlefront 2 and Shattered Empire and most importantly would add Leia as a pilot to the game.

T-47 Snowspeeder - Very unlikely, but we do have the Tie Striker in the game. Also, the last canon fighter craft used by the Rebellion at the moment (according to Wookiepedia)

T-Wing - Was used both in the X-Wing series games as well as Galaxies and would add another alphabet fighter to the game. Likely not high priority but FFG needed to add something...

H-Wing - Has art made for it by FFG and would add another bomber to the Rebellion in the event they need a third. It likely fills the same niche as the Y-Wing and K-Wing as a turreted bomber so might be a bit unlikely.

+ Many, many more ships than I can post here from legends and anything new added moving forward.

Total Count: 21 Ships

Empire - Tie Fighter, Tie Advanced, Tie Interceptor, Tie Bomber, Lambda Shuttle, Tie Defender, Tie Phantom, VT-49 Decimator, Tie Punisher, Tie Advanced Prototype, Tie Striker, Tie Aggressor, Alpha-Class Starwing (GUNBOAT!), Tie Reaper

Current Count: 14 Ships

Sentinel Shuttle - Only OT ship left to add and was heavily features in Rebels, likely could serve as a heavier more combat ready shuttle and bring new officer crew options to the the Empire.

Heavy Tie Fighter - Likely a ship we will see in Wave 2 or 3.

Tie Defender Elite - They could add it, though it will more likely show up as a configuration for the Tie Defender if they do anything with it.

Patrol Transport - From Rebels, and technically Clone Wars, but would give the Empire a small base crew carrier, likely with only 3 to 4 hull.

Tie Scout - Was in Empire at War, could possibly be a ship with systems upgrades, Jam action, and a ship ability to be pinged off for target locks.

Preybird Starfighter - Legends ship but would give the Empire another non-Tie small ship option.

+ Many, many more ships than I can post here from legends and anything new added moving forward.

Total Count: 19+

Scum - Y-Wing, Firespray, HWK-290, Z-95, Starviper, Scyk Interceptor, IG-2000, YV-666, Kihraxz Fighter, Mist hunter, Jumpmaster 5000, Fang Fighter, Shadow Caster, Quadjumper, Scurrg H-6, Kimogila, Customized YT-1300

Current Count: 17 Ships

YT-2000 - Would add the last protagonist of the X-Wing series to the game and a ship that many have asked for, some might argue it for the Rebellion instead but Scum would let you fly the Azameen family all together.

Luxury Yacht - Would add Lando's other baby to the game, could add Hondo as a pilot, and if FFG wished/got approval they could add Mara Jade as a pilot.

Kom'rk Class Fighter/Gauntlet Starfighter - Bigger than the Ghost so it might not be added but would add Maul and members of Death Watch as pilots.

Dunelizard - FFG seems to like pulling from Galaxies for ships so another one they could add.

Rihkxyrk Attack ship - From Galaxies but also showed up in Empire at War, so might have some appeal to it.

+ Many, many more ships than I can post here.

Total Count: 22+

Resistance - T-70 X-Wing, Salvaged YT-1300, MG-100 Starfortress

Current Count: 3 Ships

T-65 X-Wing - Iden Versio used one in Battlefront and was part of the Resistance, it could possibly be like the ARC-170 and just have 4 pilots to represent it not being the main craft.

T-85 X-Wing - A ship that we keep hearing about but never see, maybe that will change with episode 9.

BTL-S3 Y-Wing - Used in one of the Poe comics, could add a ship to a rather meager faction via the conversion set.

RZ-1 A-Wing - Used in one of the Poe comics, could add a ship to a rather meager faction via the conversion set, but considering the RZ-2 I could see them not adding it.

RZ-2 A-Wing - Was shown in TLJ only a matter of time before it is added.

Z-95 Headhunter - Used in one of the Poe comics, could add a ship to a rather meager faction via the conversion set, ideally they could create a new mold for it and it would make it tied with the Falcon for being the most cross-faction used ship, and the most used ship if a Republic faction was added.

Ship From Resistance Logo - We know nothing about it at the moment but will likely be one of the first ships added to the game after the show airs this fall, a likely candidate for a wave next year.

Resistance Transport/Pod - Shown in TFA and TLJ, not really all that interesting of a craft but could possibly have some sort of docking/undocking mechanic.

Resistance Intersystem Transport Ship - From the DL and WDW expansions, and is a more armed transport with a rear arc like the Lambda. Also in my optnon it looks better too.

+ Anything from Resistance and Episode 9

Total Count: 12+

First Order - Tie/fo, Tie/sf, Upsilon Shuttle, Tie Silencer

Current Count: 4 Ships

Tie Bomber/fo Variant - Depends entirely on if the Tie Bomber seen in TLJ was a FO variant or something older.

AAL-1971/9.1 Troop Transport - I'd sort of hope not likely since it doesn't have much in the way of combat ability and is more or less a space U boat to just drop troops off.

Xi Shuttle - Shown in TLJ, doesn't have a ton going for it but if the FO needed another shuttle.

+ Anything they give it from the Empire, and anything from Resistance and Episode 9. What is listed above is all the canon ships I could find them using.

Total Count: 7+ish

I don't think we'd see docking/undocking here- except for emergency situation like the Pup. More likely it would be two sets of pilot cards and dials, one for with the full ship attached and one for just the pod. The pod is likely more maneuverable on it's own than with the rest of the ship, but has less firepower.

Basically, it could be both the Resistance's version of the Lambda and the Sheathipede in one package.

Heavy TIE from Solo!

Yes! This seems WAY more likely than the Preybird.

And because of the announcement yesterday about the Clone Wars coming back...

Republic

N-1 Starfighter - Possibly a Core Set ship, or at the very least would add Anakin as a kid pilot. Though more likely what would be of interest would be its astromech upgrades, and the possibility of them doing a Rebel/Republic pack with both cards for the factions in the same expansion.

NB-1S Royal Bomber - For all those noble times when you need to bomb the ever loving crap out of something and still have a shiny looking ship.

V-Wings - The Republic's non-Jedi interceptor option, with its Astro slot it would open up some more options than the current interceptors too.

V-19 Torrent - The Republic's cheap swarm fighter.

Clone Z-95 - Likely the most well equipped of the Z-95s as they wouldn't be second hand or upgraded civilian market craft.

ARC-170 - The Republic's answer to a heavy fighter, and unlike the Rebelion's version it would have generics to play around with.

BTL-B Y-Wing - The Republic's bomber, likely having a little more hull than the current version of the craft in the game.

PTB-625 Bomber - Basically a heavier ARC-170 that focused on bombing. Also has FFG art which helps its chances.

Delta-7 Aethersprite/Jedi Starfighter - Likely comes with only unique pilots, and could possibly see multiple releases to bring fan favorite Jedi to the table. Adi Galia and Obi-Wan hopefully being shoe ins for some of the first pilots.

Delta-7B Aethersprite/Jedi Starfighter - Likely just a configuration option since all it does is add a normal Astro droid to it instead of a built in one.

Eta-2 Jedi Starfighter - A more nimble Jedi starfighter likely playing up the Risk vs Reward aspect highly and like the Delta-7 could see multiple releases to being more Jedi options to the table.

Jedi Bomber - I guess for when you need to bring peace and civility through napalming. Made for a game tied to the canon Clone Wars show, not sure if we'd see it though.

LAAT/i Republic Gunship - Crew carrier, and while likely not having shields and being a troop transport it at least is armed to the teeth and capable of space flight.

Eta Shuttle - Jedi shuttle likely being more focused around support rather than combat itself.

Nu Shuttle - More of a Clone shuttle so likely built more for weaker officer crew upgrades like the Empire is getting.

Theta Shuttle - Type shuttle that Palpatine used, Tarkin used it too, maybe the best overall shuttle though not excelling at one specific task itself?

G9 Rigger Freighter - Anakin's piece of junk from Clone Wars likely with Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka being the pilots for it. I guess if they wanted to keep it unique too they could have R2 be the last pilot for it.

XS Stock Freighter - Used by Lux Bonteri, and would give a YT esq ship to the Republic though could likely be folded into the Scum or Rebel factions instead.

Cloakshape Fighter - Used by the Republic before the Clone Wars.

Cutlass-9 Fighter - Used by Saesee Tiin.

+ Any ships that I missed or that are added to canon.

Total Count: 20+ Ships

Seperatists/CIS

Droid Starfighter - CIS main swarm fighter.

Hyena Bomber - CIS main ordnance carrier.

Droid Tri Fighter - CIS Missile carrier and interceptor.

Scarab Droid Fighter - CIS heavier fighter, basically a droid fighter with shields.

Belbullab-22 Starfighter - Grievous' starfighter.

Ginivex Fanblade Starfighter - Ventruss' starfighter.

Nantex Geonosian Starfighter - Non-droid fighter that is shielded.

Rogue-class Starfighter - Used by the CIS, though possibly a Scum ship since it was used by Cad Bane.

Umbaran Starfighter - A weird and unique craft that would likely be fun to design for.

Sheathipede Shuttle - A non brainer for them to add afterall it is already, though slightly modified, used by the Rebellion.

Sheathipede Class B Shuttle - A larger and more armed Sheathipede Shuttle.

Maxillipede Shuttle - A different option to add though likely too close to the other Sheathipede shuttles.

HMP Droid Gunship - Likely takes a role similar to the K-Wing or Gunboat in being a craft with lots of fire power and being very mobile.

Light Droid Starfighter - Based off the first Droid fighter that can be built in Galactic Battlegrounds, would allow for another interceptor role craft.

E-STAP Droid Starbomber - Trade Federation bomber from Galactic Battlegrounds though won't win any beauty contests.

Commerce Guild Bomber - The CIS bomber option in the expansion to Galactic Battlegrounds.

+ Any ships that I missed from various video games.

Total Count: 16+

Oops forgot that one while I was working on writing out the Republic and CIS stuff.

Definitely, though the Preybird would be cool to see all the same.

Didn't see it on the front page so sort of forgot it. You definitely have a lot more ships there.

That being said; the cockpit of the transport, as per the Force Awakens visual guide, say that said cockpit is built from a newer model b-wing.

This means it is possible the b-wing is a modular workhorse craft - you can fly the pod itself, with a transport module, or a combat module. THAT would make it interesting.

I'd love to see the Kom'rk Class Fighter/Gauntlet Starfighter as a Epic ship for Scum, as also the YT-1930 (for me prettier than the other YTs) for Scum too
