No red5, you get outlander :(

While I think it’s awesome we are getting more ships, I can’t say I’m not a little disappointed. There is now more rebel ships than reinforcement slots for home one. But they chose Outlander over Red 5 for the rebel fleet. This just makes me a little sad.

How do you feel about outlander being the new rebel ship?

    They could just apply rebel tag to ship but not jkl , however I'm not sure if there's another instance of a ship receiving a tag that the pilot doesn't have


    Well they are setting the precedent with the Outlander having Rebel and Dash not so it's not out of the question.


    I didn't even catch that he isn't rebel tagged; good call

    Hopefully jkl, as far less people have him compared to cls which would be incentive for spending so cg would like it
    Edit: just realized since jkl doesn't have a rebel tag, giving him r5 would be useless synergy wise...which leaves cls.
    And God I hope not for farm boy.


    Dash isn't rebel either...

    This could lead either to a second rebel fleet with a new capital ship (Mayne Mon Mothma in a Nebulon B Friget) or possibly a future scoundrel fleet that could give Labdo's falcon a home as well

    Honestly, I would think farmboy.


    Whole new rebel pilot Luke. He was wearing the same prison suit as Wedge and Biggs.

    Most people seem to be ignoring that Outrider has the Smuggler tag. No other Ship currently has it - not even any of the three Falcons. But what if they later went back and gave it to all three Falcons plus one or two others and then brought out a Capital Ship for Smugglers? Something like a LS rival to the Executor?
    First Light piloted by Qi'ra, anyone?
    hmm Dryden Voss and smugglers? Interesting idea, Would that rival anything they were a pawn of the empire really
  • I mean executor was during the rebel era, so it really makes a lot of sense the counter could be a new rebel fleet. With them adding dash that puts 2 pilots on the bench already.

    I wouldn’t be suprised if they put out a new rebel capital, 2-3 more rebel ships (red 5 maybe the pinnacle)

    New capital gets best ships (assuming you use falcon with new ship and red 5) red 5 scored the “disabling” blow on the Death Star(special ability)

    Ackbar with backups would stay then with FO resistance chimera executirtix all missing 1-2 true reinforcements

    If the executor counter wasn’t rebel what else would really make sense if you stay true to story line matchups

    Your first mistake was assuming there's any intent to stay true to lore.

    2) Frigates are not capital ships - Home One's mass assist ability actually includes Nebulon B's providing fire support in its animation
    3) Admiral Raddus' capital ship The Profundity is the next highest profile Rebel capital ship and would be appropriate for data transmission albeit for a different Death Star


    "Technically" the Nebulons are capital grade ships. (IE Not Fighters / Gunboats / Light Freighters)
    But, they are not "Star Destroyers / Heavy Cruisers" or larger in class.
    Agreed, Profundity or Liberty, maybe w/ Mon Motha as the Commander would be good choice.
