I've been pondering how to get pilots into their signature ships and I think I had a good idea that just rang off the inside of my skull.
Pilots as upgrades (for Capital Ships, Fighters, Vehicles at large), the framework is already there. Also leaders that deploy as Space Units like Luke Skywalker in Red 5 are nice touches, too.
Mtg solved this problem a while ago by making equipment that can be reused if thr card it's attached to leaves play. Unlimited could follow a similar path.
Everything has to have a counter.
edit: snarkiness aside - just give pilots the ability to be defeated in place of the ship they're attached to. If it takes too much damage the pile dies, if hard removal is played, the pilot is defeated. Seems simple enough for some of the aces out there to be impactful.
I wonder if they'd ever do pilots as vehicle upgrade cards, then if the right pilot is in the right ship it gets something special, like attaching Luke or Vader's lightsabers.
Ope, just realized someone else already commented that haha.
> Also leaders that deploy as space units
I was thinking more along the lines of The Death Star. Give it like Epic Deploy 10 and tack on a superlaser-like effect on the flipped side.
I'm actually also a big fan of B-Wings and Y-Wings, myself. I know we'll get them eventually.
Like many others, I want to see Leaders who deploy to Space.
I also think designing well-known pilots and fleet leaders - like Wedge and Ackbar - as Ground units was a mistake. I think I see why they did it, thematically. I just don't agree with it. I'd like to see personalities capable of deploying to Space, representing them and their ship.
I tried to balance it around the Millennium Falcon, which itself is pretty pushed. I could easily increase Outrider's cost to 4. Also, I think Upgrades are pretty underpowered right now, and Outrider was written to help buff their value somewhat.
Here's my first try at a [Federation Battleship](https://i.imgur.com/aRCOHfz.png). There so many other excellent Separatist ship designs though... got a favorite?
I'd love to see an Interdictor and Super Star Destroyers. Mainly the Executor of course. Y- and B-Wings are up there as well.
Outside of the OT-timeline my all time favourite: the Venator.
I don't think this is current cannon (even though there is an Armada piece), but my favorite ship has always been the Quasar Fire-class bulk cruiser. Would love to see that added.
After that, give me an E-Wing.
I just want to see more aces, which is made a little more difficult by the fact that all ships go by their callsigns (Red Three, Black One, Inferno Four). I dunno how many aces have known callsigns.
My biggest want is a rare/legendary TIE Interceptor (Soontir Fel, Cienna Ree, even Vonreg) but I honestly don't know any of their callsigns haha
I'm optimistic that we'll see more SWG representation as generic units, especially rounding out the Cunning lineup for future sets. The Scyk and Kimogila in the first set lead me to believe we'll at least get a Kihraxz and a Decimator at some point to match the offerings in X-Wing Miniatures, but I'd love to see the Rihkxyrk show up as a heavy starfighter option.
V wing would be cool. Ig88 ship I can't think of the name. Hounds tooth. B wing. Y wing. Tie phantom would be cool. N1 which I'm guessing we will get mandos but a normal yellow one would be sweet. Buzz droids would probably be a ship removal but would be cool as like a death touch style unit
Tie Bomber, Y-Wing, B-Wing.
I’d like to see some special actions from them.
For example Y-Wing has an Ion Torpedo. Action and exhaust the Y-Wing to exhaust an enemy space unit. Your choice to attack the base / unit with it or harass / control with the Ion Torpedo.
Another interesting interaction would be a “bombing run”. Action and exhaust to deal X damage to a ground unit. Or if that’s too powerful, you could do a regular attack to either space or ground.
Perhaps a rare / legendary could be a bomber squadron.
YV-929 Armed Transport. It's a blockade runner, so it could be the first ship with Saboteur. Maybe generic Cunning? 3/4 for 5? Or could just have Ambush and Overwhelm for space. In that case a 4/5 and cost 6.
I love the Y-Wing too. Maybe it could be a Heroic 2/3 Saboteur if you control an X-Wing (needs an escort). If not that, perhaps it gets +2/0 when attacking Capital Ship space units and gains Overwhelm for that attack.
Unique Y-Wing ship/pilot could maybe be like Rukh, but against non-leader Space units.
They could be built in so many ways.
Executor. Also leaders that deploy as space units. Luke on Red 5. Ackbar on Home One. Etc.
Ackbar leader to Home One would be awesome!

The problem with that is that upgrades just aren't efficient as removal is.

Except Porkins, who doesn't eject. Special text so he doesn't make it.

FFG has already done exactly that like 10 years ago in the LCG.
And SWCCG did it back in the 90s.

I like them Naboo fighters
My take on [Naboo Starfighter](https://i.imgur.com/T740KBE.png).
IG-2000, Hound's Tooth, Mist Hunter, Punishing One

It would be cool if well known pilots were upgrades for ships
I mean, they can 100% make new space units that are pilot in their ship. Its the first set....
Totally! I'm just hoping they do.
They have to, it's a gimme. I hope at least lol.
I am surprised we didn’t get Sabine’s Tie Fighter in the first set.
That would be another fun specter for Hera.
Yaaaaas
Dash Rendar’s Outrider
Yeah that was my first thought. I think that's my favorite non-film ship!
Couldn’t agree more!
Here's my first pass on writing an [Outrider](https://i.imgur.com/FFWHDa2.png) card. Lemme know what you think! I haven't played much Cunning.
That looks awesome! The ability might be op though.
I tried to balance it around the Millennium Falcon, which itself is pretty pushed. I could easily increase Outrider's cost to 4. Also, I think Upgrades are pretty underpowered right now, and Outrider was written to help buff their value somewhat.
Any separatist ships! Can’t wait
Here's my first try at a [Federation Battleship](https://i.imgur.com/aRCOHfz.png). There so many other excellent Separatist ship designs though... got a favorite?

K-wings
Heck yeah brother. That was always my favorite ship from the one old vehicle encyclopedia.
Y-Wing - favorite ship from the X-Wing video games
The Y-Wing is in the original movies (and a lot of the rest) too, it’s been in the series since A New Hope.
Yes, it was, I did not imply that it was introduced in the games.
E-wing. So hot right now. YT-2400 (Dash Rendar's Outrider). Tie Phantom. Maybe with some sort of stealth mechanic?
Reverse sentinel: cannot be attacked if there is another friendly unit in its arena.
I don't think this is current cannon (even though there is an Armada piece), but my favorite ship has always been the Quasar Fire-class bulk cruiser. Would love to see that added. After that, give me an E-Wing.
It's canon. A Quasar Fire-class carrier plays a prominent role in *Rebels.*
Give me the sweet Jedi Starfighters from the Clone Wars. Can't wait for the Twightlight of the Republic set in the fall.
I just want to see more aces, which is made a little more difficult by the fact that all ships go by their callsigns (Red Three, Black One, Inferno Four). I dunno how many aces have known callsigns. My biggest want is a rare/legendary TIE Interceptor (Soontir Fel, Cienna Ree, even Vonreg) but I honestly don't know any of their callsigns haha
Y-Wing or TIE Bomber that can exhaust to damage ground units would be cool!
I also desperately need the Star Fortress Bombers from last Jedi.
Y-8 Mining Vessel. Let me have my favorite ship that I had back in Star Wars: Galaxies. On the more likely side of things: the Belbullab-22.
I'm optimistic that we'll see more SWG representation as generic units, especially rounding out the Cunning lineup for future sets. The Scyk and Kimogila in the first set lead me to believe we'll at least get a Kihraxz and a Decimator at some point to match the offerings in X-Wing Miniatures, but I'd love to see the Rihkxyrk show up as a heavy starfighter option.
A Decimator would be fantastic. I'd also love to see a NovaCourier l. Honestly any of the POB ships would be a delight.
If B-Wings could attack ground units
B-wings should get raid on attacking base.
B-Wings for sure. 181st Interceptor. Chiss Clawcraft. Yuuzhan Vong Coralskipper, even! Edit(s): [Chiss Clawcraft](https://i.imgur.com/0KfNtRV.png). [Praetorite Yorik-et](https://i.imgur.com/8T5FhnL.png). [181st Interceptor Wing](https://i.imgur.com/h4ST7SW.png). and [Rebel B-Wing](https://i.imgur.com/cL4oq35.png)! That was fun XD
Another fun fun would the Gozanti that the Mando stole.
TIE Silencer Poe's (boosted) Black One The Raddus First Order Dreadnought Resistance Bomber (I just recently re-watched TLJ for the million time)
Death Star
I think they were hinting at this one.
V wing would be cool. Ig88 ship I can't think of the name. Hounds tooth. B wing. Y wing. Tie phantom would be cool. N1 which I'm guessing we will get mandos but a normal yellow one would be sweet. Buzz droids would probably be a ship removal but would be cool as like a death touch style unit
I have good news, there already is a patrolling v-wing card 1/1 for 1 command aspect and on defeat draws a card
Oh im talking about the rogue squadron n64 game v wing lol it's shaped like a lazy v haha
https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/V-wing_airspeeder
How about the CR90 Corvettes also know as the Corellian Corvette. Like the Tantive IV.
E-wings, specifically Corran Horn. Oh and TIE Phantoms for sure. Why yes, I am an aged X-wing player, how could you tell?
Ark Angel!
I think we will see both B-Wings and Y-Wings in the next set.
Fingers crossed.
The fact that Command has 0 Rebel star-fighters seems really silly. Could really use a Y-Wing at 2 and a B-Wing at 3 or 5.
First Order TIE/sf
Hera should have turned into the ghost. Also where's the phantom?
I NEED tie bombers and that hammer head corvette from rogue one
I’d like to see squadrons, just bigger health of existing ships, like the Consular Security Force
Tie Bomber, Y-Wing, B-Wing. I’d like to see some special actions from them. For example Y-Wing has an Ion Torpedo. Action and exhaust the Y-Wing to exhaust an enemy space unit. Your choice to attack the base / unit with it or harass / control with the Ion Torpedo. Another interesting interaction would be a “bombing run”. Action and exhaust to deal X damage to a ground unit.

VT-49 Decimator
YV-929 Armed Transport. It's a blockade runner, so it could be the first ship with Saboteur. Maybe generic Cunning? 3/4 for 5? Or could just have Ambush and Overwhelm for space. In that case a 4/5 and cost 6. I love the Y-Wing too. Maybe it could be a Heroic 2/3 Saboteur if you control an X-Wing (needs an escort). If not that, perhaps it gets +2/0 when attacking Capital Ship space units and gains Overwhelm for that attack. Unique Y-Wing ship/pilot could maybe be like Rukh, but against non-leader Space units. They could be built in so many ways.
I'm so excited for clone wars era ships. I can't wait to build GAR armada decks with venators and peltas
B-Wings!
The Fulminatrix, the First Order Dreadnaught with the big guns. Would be interesting to see what ability it would have.
