After watching that new Top Gun: Maverick teaser trailer today, I think we need an X-Wing wave with nothing but Navy fighter jet expansions. 😁

Actually, just put them in X-wings/A-Wings, whatever.

Having the pilots in the game would be priceless in terms of in-game quotes.

Mav would be the only Y-wing pilot with a full-stop maneuver: "I'm gonna put on the brakes Goose. He'll fly right by."

Would need to be ported to 2.0 I guess, but it's a fully functional conversion

I'm somewhat known for my Top Gun... fandom... It's not uncommon for me to blast the soundtrack on the way to an event or literally just leave copies of the movie in people's houses after I leave if I find out they don't own it.

These are some of my custom shield tokens. Sixteen unique callsigns, though not all are shown here. Nothing gives more emphasis to your laments of Goose dying than flipping his shield token in the process.

Also, for the record: The perfect Top Gun ship already exists in X-wing. It's called the Alpha-class Star Wing. An ordnance based dogfighting craft with the potential for heavier cannon armaments? A frame that can pull a negative 4G inverted dive to keep up with more agile opponents? A system that thrives on target locks and fancy, fast flying? A chassis that literally makes you say "He's too close for missiles Goose, I'm switching to guns" .

I've said it many times, and I'll say it again. The Gunboat is an F14 in space.
