Some cool new ships. I'm eager to hear more about the Phantom, as that seems to be the ship with the genuinely new ability. With a point cost that low for the basic E-95, but still retaining shields, the maneuver dial is going to have to be pretty limited.

I do like that they're really re-emphasizing the nature of the game as dogfighting.

I really need to get back to regular playing.

Nice models but I draw the line with this game at any ship I have never heard of.

I'll likely buy a pair of each because I'm a sucker like that. And I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I kind of wish they went Prequel Trilogy ships rather than EU. I know nothing about EU, but then again I know very little about Star Trek I'm finding out so that won't stop me.

-The Ion Missiles are a big-ship's nightmare, or at least strong headache.
-Their combo under the E-Wing that they've laid out doing three actions before revealing a dial is gamey and with Attack Wing Mixed-Faction Gaminess being so dominant right now I hope XWing doesn't go that route with power combos.
-It's is a bummer that they show cards for the Rebel stuff, but nothing for the Imperials...BOO!!!

HELL YES. Z-95 and Tie Defender. BLAMMO! Exactly what I wanted to see here. Three of each, please.

Didn't think about the E-Wing or the Phantom- interesting choices and pushing that EU thing out just a little further. Totally down with it.

Watching Clone Wars actually has me kind of wishing they would do some Clone Wars-era ships...there are some really cool ones, like the Clone starfighters (M-wings?), Grievous' little hot rod fighter, the really early TIEs...

Damn, gotta go sell some stuff to make the preorder...

Drooool. Any skepticism I ever had over EU ships is officially gone. If they do some Falcon sized models for this... oh man.

Not too interested. I'd be interested in more "unique" ships like the moldy crow, these generic eu fighters just don't do it for me.

Also the description of the e wing is worrisome. It's an x wing AND an a wing!

Tie Defender is my favorite EU ship, good to see it.

Z-95 and Tie Defender were huge back when I was rocking the space flight sims with Tie Fighter.

Edit: Actually the Z-95 were cheap fodder for the beginning Tie pilots who wouldn't be overwhelmed by superior ships.

Holy balls. Never in my wildest dreams did I think they'd make an E-Wing. I am PUMPED. Yeah, I think we're going to be going with 2 of each again. Probably a 3rd and maybe even a 4th Z-95 as the idea of a Rebel swarm is awesome.

Huh. I guess I'm not as big a Star Wars fan as I thought I was. I have no idea what any of those ships are. I'm actually more excited about that dragon Flight Path game than I am about these new ships.
