Yes, I love almost all of them. An nothing comes even close to how ugly the E-wing is.

How would you rate the ships?

I'm amused you find such difference in the X wing and Z95.. they are almost identical... I think the E wing looks like an aggressive predatory cat... I can agree on most of the others as I am a big fan of the imperial ships, and have only one real differing opinion... the Hawk... 2.. lol.. oh and skim a point off all the rebs.. I do like the imps kore.. lol.. over all. Phantom is an 8 for me

Sorry for being all overnthe place... typed what was in my head before really thinking it through.. lol

Hehehe.. yeah.. got me too

Honestly I Would rate all of the ships between 7-10... except the HWK, he gets a 3. And actually the E-wing would be about 8 or 9 for me, it looks pretty cool to me. Its all personal taste I guess.

The basic anatomy of the Z-95 and the X-Wing are the same, but beauty is in the subtlety.

To me, the E-Wing looks like a toucan. Froot Loops, anyone? :P

I think the ugliest ship out there is the HWK. But I think alot of it is the paintjob. I like the white/grey with the red stripe that's depicted on one of the cards much better.

If I had a steadier hand I'd probably repaint my Hawk. But, I don't so it'll stay red for now.

Wow, why bother with a 1-10 rating when 1-5 would work just as well when just 2 ships are "average" looking and only 1 would be incredibly ugly.

To me the most unattractive ships are the B-Wing, Y-Wing, and Falcon. Moving up I see the Lambda and Firespray. I'll skip a few but when it comes to "most attractive" I'm saying the A-Wing, and the TIE/ A, D, Int, Phantom.

I think this topic was made just so people could say how ugly the new ships are. When really i love them all!

I think that some of the lack of love for the wave 4 ships is that they don't stir up any childhood emotion for many of us. Up until now all but 1 of the ships was in the movies, so we grew up loving everything about them. So on an unconscious level they are always going to be the most "beautiful". But if we asked someone who had never seen a star wars movie to rate them, I think wave 4 would be somewhere near the top. Hwk would still be at the bottom. It looks like a minecraft turd with wings

I agree that the movies really do affect the way we think about these things. At first I thought the Hwk was by far the ugliest. But when I put it on a stand, and sat it next to an x-wing....it wasn't so bad. Then I repainted it and I think it looks nice now.

Point is.....when we play with them...I think they will all fit in nicely with our other models. I don't think they will look "out of place".

P.S. The Hwk is still the ugliest. =]

I can't really say any of them are ugly. I love each design, even the E-wing, for whatever charms it has.

Some people really need to learn how to count and/or grade. I mean some ships appear to be SO UGLY that people give them a 1 TWICE when grading 1-10.

What!?

Space Giraffe is a 15 at least

all the rest are 2 everthing thing else score 10s

Indeed

... on a 1 through 5 scale

everthing got one point for being Star Wars and one point for being done by FFG with high detail.

Okay so maybe it is a 1 through 3 scale...

Yes, the new ships aren't highly recognizable. I didn't say I had to have them based on fond memories. But, they all seem to add great elements to the game. I want them anyways. But, I suppose there are those out there who only buy ships for the collectible aspect, and don't actually play... Still, I think this wave will sell just fine.
