Rebel Faction Wish List!

Rebel or Scum I'd like to see the YT-2000 added to. Though I'm a big fan of it coming to Scum A) so that we get one protag from the X-Wing games in each of the original factions, provided they add Keyan back, and B) you could run the Azameens all together in a list, hopefully.

See, I just want him in Rebel rather than Scum because I really, really don't want to utterly loathe him and dread seeing him on the table. I know Emon's in Scum, but frankly, that's the primary reason Emon and I are currently not on speaking terms.

With the Clone Wars battle packs, it sort of opens the gates for a few potential options:

Battle of Scariff: Blue Squadron X-Wing, U-Wing, and Y-Wing (yeah, they were on loan from Gold Squadron in the movie, but still...). Before you say anything... shut up. This is a great way to give us a Blue Squadron X-wing, something we've been asking for ALMOST as long as the Gunboat as well as some new pilots (well aware the X-Wing has a TON right now, but new blood is always good) as well as more Y-Wing and U-Wing pilots INCLUDING K-2SO as a pilot AND crew! Maybe a few new Astromechs to go along with those pilots!

The Specters: A green squadron X-Wing, Phoenix Squadron A-Wing, and a B-Wing in prototype colors. More Hera pilot cards! Also, new pilots for X-Wing and A-wing, and possible return of B-Wing/E2 style configuration card for the B-Wing as well as a new cannon with the 1.0 Linked Battery function (throw that in with the Starwing re-release please?)

Rogue/Wraith Squadron pack - highly unlikely as it's Legends, but just a neat package to bring in the pilots not in game yet from those stories.

YT-2000 Otana - others have said everything that needs to be said about this ship.... HOWEVER, I'd LOVE for it to be dual faction and have unique dials and titles for the YT-1300 (Sabra and... I forget the name of it's sister ship) for scum and the rebellion and make it a FOURTH YT-1300 variant: Stock YT-1300! Because that's what the game needs... more YT-1300s! Weaker dial than the other 3 Falcons and less hull and shields. Also, single arc turret.

High Initiative A-Wings are a must as well as more B-Wing pilots

Here's the thing with the Rebels (and even the Empire to a lesser extent): they don't need new platforms, they need more pilots and/or crew/astromechs for the existing platforms they have that have new abilities that either make better use of the platform or have some kind of synergy with other pilots.

So I know I posted this stuff earlier but I want go into more detail with it starting with Star Wars Rebels:

Hera: ok as we all know Hera is a go to for piloting anything and already has two ships with the Attack Shuttle and Ghost, but she would also fit in well in the A-Wing and X-Wing. The A-Wing we all know has one of the best dials in the game and paired with Hera's ability I don't believe it would be crazy over powered just making it more maneuverable and she is known as Phoenix Leader amongst all those pilots and would add a I5 pilot to their line up which is much needed right now. With the X-Wing again she would add maneuverability to the ship with her ability but not much else, but again, I mostly just want her flying one cause its canon and I am a thematic player when it comes to my lists.

Sabine: The only other ship she needs to be in right now is an A-Wing and again would give the ship some more maneuverability but not the high Initiative level that they need but she could be a little thorn in the enemies side if not taken out early enough.

Ezra: He really needs a ship that he was mostly in control of and Maul's Nightbrother which I think the only way it will come in to the game is if they recreate Epic play because it is just too **** big for Second Edition or extended format. Another ship Ezra could be in is the Y-Wing since he flew with Dutch Vander to protect Mon Mothma.

Gold Squadron: Coming from rebels you have 2 more pilots are Gold Two who is currently unnamed and Tyson who flew along with Dutch and Ezra to protect Mon Mothma in her escape from Coruscant. Although Gold Two didn't really do much in the Rebels episode, she should still be represented since she did fly with the squadron, and Tyson should have some sort of defensive ability to help out his friends since he did sacrifice himself to protect the Ghost from the TIE Defender.

Sensors on Ks for traj sim, plz

That'd be new

Also, just better force crew (hello, obi) and especially Gunners that don't work exclusively with bloody turrets

Please no. At least the current crop of trajectory sim capable bombers can be shot at after they launch their bombs. Good luck getting a shot to connect on a launch, maneuver, SLAM Kwing…

If you've forced them to SLAM, they can't shoot you to stack damage atop tsim

Basically, ain't nowhere even remotely near Redline levels of power
