scum players: what ship do u want to see in wave5?

By Greedo_Sharpshooter, in X-Wing

very unlikely we will get a new ship so... what reprint r u hoping for in wave5?

i would like the HWK-290... still salty about having to get a rebel conv. kit to get the title... guessing new players can be saved the hurt. be nice to see a new repaint... rebels and scum should look diff...

aggressor assault fighter aka IG-88 could be good... maybe we scum just gets Z-95?

its decent plus u have quite a few third ship options eg hwk or 4-Lom.

Assuming its a pure reprint

HWK or Y-wing

Assuming it might contain a new card or 2

Scyk shipped with autoblaster cannon and a light scyk configuration would be sick.

If they do rerelease the scyk or y-wing, scum hyperspace really seems like a swarm faction with all the cheap ship options.

Mining tie

soon the z-95

Escape shuttle

y-wing/scyk

assuming the y-wing or scyk are wave 5 scum will have a lot of swarm options, more than empire as scum will have 3 or 4 options for ships that are less than 30 points, and if it is the Y-wing scum gets it’s Howlrunner. If scum gets the Scyk we get defensive Howlrunner and another < 30 point ship.

Not this season for Hyperspace. Maybe the one starting end of July. Scum is limited to just the MGT for swarming right now outside of Extended.

I suspect we won’t get a new Scum ship for another few waves, leaving reprints. My best bet is the HWK to alleviate the Moldy Crow problem.

If we do get a new ship, I would want to finally see the Gauntlet Fighter.

That is as wide and as long as the length of an Imperial Gozanti. If it shows up it'll be an Epic ship.

Or they could just Ghost it!

What about the large yellow ship in the card art for the mining guild tie?

It is actually about ten meters shorter than the Gozanti.

I’ve heard the argument that it should be epic many times, but it acts nothing like the other epic ships. Check out how it moves in the Rebels season 3 finale.

Most of Epic ships alread work on a different scale as the rest of the ships. Shrinking the Gauntlet down is probably the better part of valor in this case.

Ghost: 43.9m long, 34.2m wide https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Ghost

Gauntlet/Kom'rk ("small" variant): 52.3m long, 52.4m wide https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Kom'rk-class_fighter

Yah, I just double checked that. Doesn't change that it is 20m wider. We also don't know how they're going to be doing Epic 2.0 maneuvers yet. I'm firm on it being a Huge base.

YV-865 Aurore Class Freighter: 52.3m long, 42.33m wide https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Aurore-class_freighter

I'd say Huge. Though if the Kom'rk is made a Large then the Aurore better be a large base...

I'd be down for a gauntlet with fang r escort 😊

I'd also like to see the HWK or the IG-2000

Okay. And I’m firm it doesn’t belong on huge base. True, they could rework Epic movement, but until we have proof of that, I still stand by the assertion that the Gauntlet shouldn’t be huge.

Agreeing to disagree as to which would be a better representation based on what little we know works for me. :)

Z is in w3...

Rogue class starfighter for me. Joint scum and cis release.

Fair enough. 🙂

I'm hoping for more of the bounty hunters joining in over all the random small ships. IG2000 or YV666 seem likely over the JM5K or G1A.

I'd be hopeful about the HWK as well...I haven't flown mine since 2.0 hit because there's not really a point without the title. But the HWK and Y-Wing were initially fill-in for Scum just to make them a viable faction, and I don't know if FFG would re-release either in a new faction identity with so little to draw on from canon appearances (as far as I know; I'm not up on all the recent canon changes in multimedia other than Star Wars: Rebels and now Star Wars: Resistance on TV).

G1A and YV-666 are Canon. The Aggressor strangely isn't yet though an IG-88 is (as is the IG-86 assassin/sentinel droid series that IG-88 is now derived from in Canon), and neither is the Jumpmaster yet. The releases/re-releases so far have been strictly Canon ships.

When was the Decimator made canon?

Same time as the HWK-290... In the Star Wars: Commander mobile game (and the game is Canon, oddly). 🤣 Though Rebels and a couple of comics picked up the HWK.

On topic...

If we are going with "iconic" then it will probably be the famous bounty hunters so Mist Hunter, IG-2000, Hounds Tooth, Punishing One.

With how FFG has been going the past year or so I doubt this is what will happen. There may be some direction from Disney on what they have to release but maybe not.

Personally I would hope for stuff that differentiates Scum from the rest of the factions. Starviper would be good because it moves like no other ship in the game (I think).
