- Assault Gunboat (6 votes) [People have just been voting "Assault Gunboat" for both Rebel and Imperial. Are there different versions?]
-----AvaLance


Yes.

The link that I provided for you is the XG-1 Star Wing, an Imperial only craft and the true Assault Gunboat. The other ships that some people are referring to as Assault Gunboats are more like Assault Shuttles/Transports. For instance, the Imperial "Assault Gunboat" that we currently have in game... take a look:

Sentinel-class Shuttle
http://frankg.dgne.com/swsv/cygnus/index.html#sentinel
http://hangarbay.tripod.com/td-sentinel.html (description/technical readout... no picture.)

That's what it really is. I'm not sure which one people are referring to with the Rebel one, but most likely it is of the same designation. A heavily armed transport.

Also, the Star Wing is a one person fighter. The other ones that people are talking about are (obviously) multi.

Missile Boat is an Imperial only craft and is also a 1 person ship:

As for the "Assault Shuttle", I believe people are referring to the Escort Shuttle, but I could be wrong. This one would also be an Imperial craft (as it is made by the same people as the Star Wing and they produced ships for the Empire):

Escort Shuttle

Disregard the yellow. I just went into X-Wing Alliance and there is actually a different craft designated as Assault Shuttle. I'll attempt to find an actual link to this one though.

Oh, and about the Skipray Blastboat, it was designed by the Empire but it wasn't a very popular ship and so it was eventually phased out and started finding it's way into the hands of smugglers. Also, the GAT-12h Blastboat you have listed is of the same series of craft as the Skipray. It's pretty much the same ship... most likely the only difference is weapon load-out.

V-Wing (a New Republic ship and therefore out of our time-line):
V-Wing

Edit: One of my edits was changing the Missile Boat's link to one that was more descriptive.
Edit: Also, here's a link to a more descriptive XG-1 Star Wing (Assault Gunboat):

Please forgive all of the Edits... I figured it'd be better than posting several times.

Hey, everyone. I'd like to start a poll and see what kinds of ships everyone wants to see added to JTL. Try to keep your number of votes in line with the voting system in ADDENDUM 2, and provide links to info and pictures if at all possible. I'll try to keep track of votes in this first post.

Personally, I'd love to see the TIE Advanced x2 (TIE Avenger), the Lambda-class Imperial Shuttle, and the MandalMotors StarViper. All are awesome ships and I have no idea why they didn't make it into the game. Anyway, have fun with this topic, and be creative!

ADDENDUM 1: CREATIVE LICENSE: Be creative. I'll keep track of ideas I really like.

ADDENDUM 2: VOTING RULES: Everyone only gets three votes. If you don't specify your votes from your nominations, the first three ships you mention will be counted as your votes. The rest will only be nominated and added to the original post.

ADDENDUM 3: THREAD FOCUS: This is a thread to survey the game's population as far as what ships they'd like to see in the game. Not what ships wouldn't fit in the timeline, nor will it become a flame war or an argument. It's a poll. Keep it that way.

Current Votes:

Proposed Imperial Starships:
- Lambda-Class Shuttle (30 votes)
- TIE Defender (24 votes)
- XG-1 Star Wing Assault Gunboat (11 votes)
- TIE Advanced x2 ("TIE Avenger") (6 votes)

- Missile Boat (2 votes)
- Sentinel-Class Landing Craft (2 votes)
- V19 Torrent Starfighter (2 votes)

Proposed "Unclassified" or Multi-Faction Starships:
* These are ships that have been voted for under more than one faction or that I'm just not sure on. Advice or assistance would be welcome here. *
- Barloz-Class Freighter (1 votes) [Unspecified Faction]
- GHTROC Freighter (1 votes) [Unspecified Faction]
- PES Enforcer (0 votes) [Unspecified Faction]
- Muurian Transport (0 votes) [Unspecified Faction]

Proposed Concepts:
- More ships usable by all factions
- Player-interactive Capital Ships and Space Stations (docking, interiors, etc.)
- Customization options for Imperial Starships (even if only limited)

NOTE: It really really helps me if you can provide links to detailed information about the ships, and/or images. Keeps this a nice-looking post. At any rate, I'm currently having trouble getting working links for:
- Trilon Aggressor Assault Fighter
- Corellian Action VI Transport
- GHTROC Freighter
- Slayn Expanded B-Wing
- Mon Calamari Light Freighter
- PES Enforcer
- Muurian Transport
- Barloz-Class Freighter
- XS-600 Transport
I'd appreciate it if anyone could get me some good links to these!

Every ship from X-Wing Alliance, including their neutral ships.

Plus i would like more of the ships to be cross-faction.

Randar's = the YT 2400 i think.

Please be more specific - I've never played X-Wing Alliance, so I don't know what ships you're referring to.
