We'll skip, entirely, the topic of the story of the prequels. They had some great ship designs in those movies. I haven't followed this game very closesly at all, but just recently jumped in (and have since regretted not going all in since launch). Have they mentioned any plans on adding Republic or Seperatist factions to the game. I know there are timeline issues, but screw verisimilitude. I want those sweet looking ships!
Prequel Ships
I've been working on some Droid Starfighters myself for the last few days. A thread will come soon now with pictures.
But other than that, the chances do seem slim at this time. We've two solid factions to which this whole game revolves. Even more now with the coming Episode 7 stuff which will most likely grab all the attention.
They have to do prequel stuff, if only for the gorgeous Naboo yachts.
They're following the movies, so I definitely don't blame FFG. But the Imperial side is mostly just variations on a theme. The models look good, but the original designs were very samey. The Alliance has so much variety.
As to the Episode VII ships, I don't know how long FFG has the liscense. Worse yet, when it comes time to renegotiate they'll be dealing with a subsidiary of Disney, not an autonomous company. But what do I know.
