Stay sharp - Nimbus V-wing preview

By Sciencius, in X-Wing

I anticipate that we will see all 3. If the Nu really focuses on clones, the g-9 on Jedi, with Palpatine's shuttle being an all rounder. Between keywords and hyperspace there is room for multiple shuttles. I do think the theta T-2c (palps ride) and the g-9 will show up before the Nu. But I want all 3.

I agree with KC, the Nu is what the republic needs. Unfortunately, I don't think that what they are going to get. I can see the Nu being a 3 dice gun, but I am skeptical about palp’s shuttle. I also think that there should be more of a focus on clones, as we tend to see jedi playing the support role. In the Laat, we have another option to the jedi; making clone-only squads more viable. I think that the palp. shuttle will be the next large base (its too big for medium??), but I expect clone z-95s next.

The Nu Shuttle is about a meter longer than the LAAT, and by the looks of it, not much wider, aside from the wings, so I'd imagine it would be medium still. I'd like to see it act as a precursor to the Lambda since that is what it was in canon. 3/1/4/4 statline? Crew/Crew/Cannon/Mod/Sensor to mimic the Lambda, but with less hull and no rear arc. It would be unique for Republic as the only ship with a sensor or cannons, and the heavier shielding and primary cannons with less hull and lack of gunner help differentiate it from the ARC and the LAAT.

Same maneuvers as the Lambda Shuttle, but the 1 banks are white to match the garbage blues of the LAAT and the Y-Wings, but make the 2 hards white to compensate, as the medium base should be a little more maneuverable than the Lambda.
