Its been a year since ships got added to the game and while many odd ships like the Geonosians, multiple Jedi Starfighters, and no less than two different U-wings there's still no sign of some of the most basic ships from even the original trilogy!Are Y-wings, A-wings, B-wings, TIE Bombers etc. being held back for some as-yet-unannounced major update to the ship content?

You're thinking of Y-wings. Those are the bombers for the rebels. And maybe bombers could be special in a way that they have abilities that affect the enemies capital ship. That would be cool.

You have to remember that there will also need to be pilots associated with each of those ships. When we get more pilot characters, we will get more ships. I'm still waiting for JKA and Yoda's Jedi starfighters to be released. I'm also really wanting the General Grievous capital ship the Malevolence.

Would not be a problem if the same pilot( as long as it was generic) could pilot multiple ships

I expect to see at least the resistance A-Wing soon (well with the release of the movie or around that date), since FO got two ships already it would make sense. Maybe also resistance bomber...

Oops, you’re right! I get A-wings and Y-wings mixed up because an upside-down Y looks kind of like a right-side up A :p
