Well the Xi-class Light Shuttle is also grey as are the Resurgent Star Destroyers. Hux must be running out of black and white paint.

Does anyone else thing it’s weird that you look like you can only get to the front of the ship if the door is closed? You have to run in, close the door, and *then* stroll over your door to get to the pilot seat...? Seems odd.

Excuse me but....

Disney's iron fist on FFG and X-Wing means this expansion will be OP and released with the opening of the park.

With an alternate paint scheme only available opening day at the park.

Wow... it's quite a bit uglier than I was expecting. I doubt we'll see this in game for a very long time though at least.

Probably see it before that Trooper Shuttle thing in 7...

Already ahead of you.

Maybe they're going off brand...

Yea, it will be odd, especially considering the TIE/fo Interceptor likely will be red when it comes to the game due to Resistance only showing the single model of it so far in red due to it being the 'named villain' ship. Wonder how it must feel that Resistance will be more color consistent, their ships are being painted up as blue squadron, compared to the uniformity loving FO.

There is also red as well, the Bomber miniature has the red paint scheme, though there is a blue varient in the movies and card art, and the A-wing has a few ship cards with the red look. Not sure if it has shown up anywhere else but Poe did let Kaz fly a red T-70 in an episode or two.

It was more of a maroon tbh.

Seems like on the lambda, there's enough room for a pathway around the ramp, but in the TIE Echelon it seems like the ramp takes the entire width of the nose section.

I know this is not exactly canon anymore (maybe never was?) but this floor-plan shows how the Lambda has a bit of floor around the ramp. Maybe the TIE Echelon has something similar but it seems more cramped at a glance with no knowledge of its interior.

EDIT:

Actually, I think I'm completely misreading the TIE echelon's ramp. I thought it was just there at the nose but the ramp actually opens to the rear or midsection of the ship. There's probably some amount of space at the back that allows moving around the ramp that wouldn't exist if it was the way I thought it was.

I'll buy this only if it comes with individual Job boxes you can deploy to defend from in coming fire!

I mean in X-Wing itself, I'm suspecting that the Resistance Bomber will be rereleased in blue in 2.0 whereas the FO will have a red Interceptor, likely, and the Tie Echalon in classic Imp blue.

Grey and blue seems to be the Resistance MO. It's kinda' funny really, just how... Uniform, they are.

Echelon Stats?

3, 2, 5, 3

One crew slot, one gunner.

Maybe a fixed and a mobile arc like the Hawk?

I'd drop everything except agility by one: 2, 2, 4, 2 so it's cheaper, with a ship ability similar to the TIE Advanced x1 that allows for a third attack die if some condition is met. I'd like to see it akin to the evil version of a HWK.

Very cool Hesh. Glad we have somebody like you with us.
