LAAT! Woohoo!

By Kingsguard, in X-Wing

This is the ship I have been waiting for since the Republic faction was first announced! I'm excited.

Me too!

Yo, I’m happy for you guys. For me, it was the N-1 that literally brought me out of X-Wing retirement. I love me some prequels and anyone who can’t handle it can go pound sand.

Tatooine sand, to be specific.

(It gets everywhere .)

I'm gonna fly these mfers until my opponents are sick of the color yellow.

hmm, come to think of it, I should really buy a 3rd N1 so I can do a stupid messy list with Padme and two handmaidens

One gets shot, and she has another one right thru most of the movie.

And ill speak in Jar Jar the whole game.

I've been waiting for R2-D2 to come in as an astromech for the Republic for so LONG! 😭

I've been wanting both the LAAT and the HMP Droid Gunship since before there were even rumors of the prequel factions. I'm pretty happy.

Waiting now for the last piece of the puzzle: the ETA2 Actis....

And the quadrumvirate will be complete....

Only if we get Yoda, too.

Hey, that was me!!

In fact, I just flew 4 N-1s this week and won one of my games with 0 damage (thanks to a little help from some R2 units).

It looks like the LAAT/i is medium base, which will be nice, but I can't help but think of it as ground support and thus "what is it doing in a space battle?"

Personally, my next big wish for Republic is:

Agreed, but it makes me curious what large base the Republic might get? There’s the Llambda precursor at the end of Ep III that might fit the bill, yeah? Maybe a Naboo something or other? Anything else?

Yep. The Theta class Shuttle. I would almost guarantee this will be the Large base.

And it pairs nicely with V-Wings!!

The Nubian J-type is 78 meters long, so it would make a nice "small Huge" for the Republic.

Does that thing have weapons?

I'm also excited for the LAAT/i, but more for the crew/gunners it brings to the party than the ship itself!

No, but neither did the GR-75, technically.

The LAAT has been my most-wanted Republic Ship, since we already had the ARC. But crew are probably my favorite upgrade type in the game, for theme reasons, so I’m sooo psyched to have some options for the Republic. AND KIT, none-the-less! 😍

The second J-type would actually be a better small epic ship, imo. It can dock starfighters, so could have some of the support role that the gozanti does.

And this being Naboo, where their queen often pretends to be someone else, and someone else pretends to be the queen, I don't doubt some of those royals fitted their ships with hidden weapons. That's the option I'd suggest here, similar to what we have on the GR-75.

It's main failing is that it isn't as iconic as its predecessor.

I want the Naboo ships. Silver chrome. ugh.

Make it real silver foil. I'll pay.

No idea what niche they'll fill in the faction, but I really want v wings to happen. They look so cool.

I was perusing the Asmodee catalog and actually saw the Nimbus-class V-wing on the list. I don't remember the number and definitely did a double-take because I didn't see anything else that hadn't been previewed yet.

Nintendo’s Starfox? 😉 😜

Other way around. Star Fox Assault's Cornerian Fighters very closely resemble V-Wings.

But mostly the biggest difference is that they're missing G-Diffuser assemblies.

With a new sideways huge base? 🤔 🤔

Ah yes, I keep forgetting about that one. Also that fin-like Jedi transport (though does that have weapons?), but Idk how big that one is either.
