What Ship Do You Want Most Of All?

In one of the new canon books (someone else please remind me which) an Imp commander comment something to the effect of "Can we for once not destroy a ship that we built" in reference to the Neb-B.

Just once, I'd like to destroy a starship that we didn't pay for!

- Imperial Admiral Hurkk during the battle of Oovo IV

It’s non-canon though, the only sources being The Essential Guide to Vehicles and Vessels and the Age of Rebellion core rulebook.

MC40a. Would like another medium rebel ship option. Unfortunately, no niche to fill for it.

Yeah! This would be awesome!

Pepole always want somethung biiig and stroooong and cooooool...

My dream is a dual-faction Dreadnought class. Everything else I really wanted was already made for Armada.

Mc40 is a carrier, it's a light cruiser in the rebellion with 1-2 squads of fighters. You could use it as a proxy for the assault frigate, since it kinda shares the same niche. Still, something like being a rebel quasar to the assault frigates' vsd sounds good to me.

See I don't know if it is big enough to be a medium ship. I like the designs I see around for it though visually.

For imperials, Eclipse class & the TIE Avenger. Oh & Acclamator ?

Rebels, probably Liberator class from old Rebellion PC game.

I would like to see the Raddus as a rebel huge ship but the question remains, can you Raddus in the Raddus?

For Empire, I'd like to see the venator and acclamator.

For rebels, I'd like to see the muunficient and providence class.

SSD ?

YES!!! I WANT AN SSD SOOOO BAAAD..... Oh wait.....???

Normally I'm not one for Clone Wars, but the Venator looks cool. Resurgent class is also a want.

Its a hard question for me as well, at 600m it seems it could really be either small or medium, since the MC30c is 580m and small base, and the Assault Frigate mk 2 is 700m and medium base...but it is an awesome little ship, and is my favorite capital ship from the entre game of Xwing Alliance. The double Ion upgrade sounds interesting, I'll work on a version of that in my buildout.

Venator definitely, But I'd also really like to see an Acclamator.

Not sure what role it would fill, just like the design.

I would vote for dual faction Dreadnought :)

Ships from Clone War eras or Next Trilogy always have the potential to be included in the game in the near future. However some niche ships from EU has less chance to be printed due to the fact that they are not canon or not mainstream enough.

So, I wish FFG recognized some of the independent producers ( like Kuat Drive Yards) and allow their ships to participate in tournaments. Of course they would not allow the ships that are already produced by FFG or to be possibly produced soon by FFG ( like Clone War Era ships or Next Trilogy ships) but for EU ships like Dauntless, CC-9600, Liberator and etc.

3rd party manufacturers would print the models and FFG would just print the cards and the base.

Yeah I know, it is a long shot but it would bring so much variety to the game

For me its liberator cruiser, dauntless cruiser and corelian gunship for rebs. Strike cruiser, lancer and carrack for imps.

Vindicator heavy cruiser but as a small base gunship/ carrier. One variant being more direct combay and the other more of a support role. Similar number of dice as a gladiator but red and blue instead of red and black.

A pelta but the rear wing things can rotate. I know Xwing has rotating and moving parts so it could be done. I would also like to see another rebel medium, and more broadside ships for the empire. Thats why I want the Ventator mostly, because I think it can fill that role, and also provide more visual range than slightly larger grey triangles. Its why I personally love the Arquitens, Gladiator, and Raider... they have a different overhead appearance than the Victory and ISD.

I have not read it, but supposedly in the new canon novel "Tarkin" the Immoblizer 418 is made canon again. Was an earlier design that ceased production due to it being to soft of a target, but they continued to be in service through the GCW.

Mah Boi do I have a design for you.

Almost exactly what I had in mind just different higher squadron on the escort and switch the offensive slot with an ion slot on the heavy cruiser.

Ooh, where to begin? Obviously things like the Venator (large/medium ship with carrier and blue-dice variants), Dreadnought (medium-sized, blue-dice focused ship), and the usual stuff. Otherwise, most of the Rebellion/Supremacy ships would be nice: [Edited - because of course Mel's Miniatures has versions of all of these]

The Bulk Cruiser (medium sized, Rebel ship - slow but durable?) Link

The DP20, now that it is canon - although not sure where it would fit in with the Rebel line-up - they already have a couple of small corvettes. Link

The CC-7700 Frigate is also canon now (thank you, Tarkin), and giving the Rebels a small ship with Experimental Retrofit would be interesting: Link - why does everyone have to make this so bumpy; I like the clean surfaces.

The Liberator-class cruiser was included in one of FFG's other games, and could make another nice medium-sized assault carrier for the Rebels: Link - I can see what they tried to do here, but the underneath looks a bit weird.

350?cb=20120613093221

For the Empire you have the (canonical) Lancer-class frigate, although that's mostly replaced by the Raider: Link - not sure about that one.

LancerFrigate-SWR

And the Strike-class medium cruiser, a medium-sized ship for the Empire that isn't a triangle. Link

350?cb=20120613095325

If we're going into post-RotJ era stuff, I'd love to see things like the Endurance-class fleet carrier and Nebula-class Star Destroyer - they look shiny and different. Link - Nebula-class only.

So many pretty starships.

Added links to Mel's Miniatures - now if only I had a lot of money and could paint...

Personally I think I would love to see the Tartan light cruiser for the empire as a combat flotilla. Just 3 aa with like a red out the front and a blue out the sides. Gods I would love to see that in the game. Maybe the Tector Class Star destroyer too to you know give us an actual battleship for the empire. Mostly with squadron command - or 1

But we already have the Kuat and ISD I for the Battleships.

The Lancer and DP20 gunship could be the first ships purely focused on Anti-squadron. Like, a Black and Two Blues for the DP20 (has Conc missiles) and a Red and Two Blues for the Lancer. It could give non-squadron ships a way to REALLY fight back against squadron balls, aside from hoping for the best and trying to table the carriers outright.

I would probably give the Braha'tok Gunship the anti-squadron role, and have the DP20 be somewhere between the CR90 and MC30 in capabilities.
