Just curious for predictions on possible ships we might see come to Epic 2.0 for the other factions. So far we have two for Rebel, two for Imperial, and one for Scum. What other Scum ship might make it in and what about the other factions? The only ship I could see coming for Galactic Republic would be the Consular-Class Cruiser.
2.0 Epic Ship Predictions
I know it's not the most popular choice with some, but I'd really like to see the Minstrel class space yacht for Scum.
I was a massive fan of Dark Forces back in the '90s and I'd love to see Jabba the Hutt's Minstrel class yacht "Star Jewel" getting an outing again and reminding me of the excitement I felt the first time I saw the Moldy Crow lifting out of Nar Shadaa, only to get tractored in by the Star Jewel, leading to Kyle getting thrown to the Kell Dragons on Jabba's orders!
Things reallydidn't get much better than that as far as I was concerned at the time! 😊
-scum I wish for a actual combat ship for the scum corvette to sit alongside the raider and the CR-90
Mandalorian crusader class corvette

pretty close to the right size and adds more mandalorians to scum

same....I couldnt wait though..
Not a prediction but more of a wishlist. I'd like to see the Nebulon B frigate for the rebels & or Galactic empire, and also the Bunker Buster that we see in the Star Wars Battlefront II video game, which I also think is in TLJ.
Appreciate that both these models are much larger than the CR90, but given what FFG are doing with the SSD in Armada, I think they are achievable.

Achievable, indeed:
Where’s Joe Boss? Is he not Calling It (tm) any more?

Been gone from these parts for quite some time. He had lots of energy and enthusiasm for the game, was always a nice alternative to the usual forum attitudes.
That's the one...an official version of this would be...very welcome indeed 🙂

Probably passing on the C-ROC, but that? THAT I would buy in a heartbeat. It's beautiful. My Scum is almost all Mandalorians anyway, so the thought of a flat-out Mandalorian Rebellion against the Empire (or against the New Republic) would just be amazing to me.

The Nebulon B for Rebels and Arquitens Cruiser for Empire are on my wish list, but they'd have to be bigger than Huge ships – maybe "colossal" sized or something. The models would be a similar scale to Armada's SSD, so expect to wait a long time and prepare to pay a lot for either. We can dream, can't we?
I'd like to see the Gauntlet in at least some form in the future. Everyone says it's too big for a large ship. Maybe with 2.0 they've given huge ships the capacity to actually be kind of zippy. Who knows? It could be for a huge ship what the Sith Infiltrator is for Large ships; the platform that's just so much more nimble than anything its size is ever supposed to be. In practice though, I'd really prefer to see it as a large ship.
The Braha'tok and DP-20 would also be cool to see for Rebels. I don't know of many others though and I mainly play OT factions.

I hope we see something like this in The Mandalorian. It would make it's eventual appearance in X-wing so much faster!
I would like to see the Dornean Gunship get released for the Rebellion.
I think the title needs to be changed to Huge Ship Predictions. FFG has separated Epic from Huge ships.

It is really quite ugly (the reason you barely see it in ROTJ). A Hammerhead Corvette on the other hand is more palatable. Still it matters not, why not both? Scum, rebel scum, republic scum, separatist scum, resistance scum huge ships will melt like butter in a British summer when faced with the superior Imperial/First Order ships.
Speaking of which I’d quite like to see the IGV55 with the sensor dishes with some nice Jam/Co-ordinate enhancements.
And I suppose I’d let the Resistance (maybe Rebels) have the modified Raider, the Corvus

You mean they won’t melt at all, then, considering that the traditional British summer is cold and damp... any of the freakish warm weather we may have had in the last couple of years is certainly not what I remember of summer holidays growing up!
I have many fond memories of sitting on British beaches in the drizzle, eating slightly soggy sandwiches and drinking tea from a Thermos!

Why does this sound so picturesque? I can almost smell the seaside air. I want to experience this, soggy sandwiches and all!

It’s the quintessential British holiday! 😛

Uncouth. My grandma packed tea cups and saucers to drink the thermos tea from. Once it was so windy on Blackpool beach one of the cups flew off the saucer 😆

Ah, but it would give us Rebel Scum a carrier, which I believe would be a welcome addition.
And I agree on the topic of the Hammerhead Corvette.

Please no, we've had enough of our best ships and crew stolen, not counting these abominable traitors. Defectors don't deserve glory or praise; they deserve to be court-martialed and executed. It is the will of our Emperor for the greater safety, unity, and peace of the galaxy.

“ Things have changed. Look around you, man. Do you even recognize the Empire anymore?”
No predictions for CIS?

I hate the rebel Raider. It took everything beautiful about the Raider and just... removed it. Color, shape, wings... all gone.

Separatists:
Recusant-class Light Cruiser
Munificent-class Star Frigate
Republic:
Consular-class Cruiser
The Consular-class could be setup as a support ship, similar to the Gozanti, since the Republic is also getting the CR90.
I'm not familiar enough with Clone Wars stuff to figure out what would be a good support ship for the Separatists. The above choices were easy to suggest, given their appearance in the old WotC miniatures game.
