Hey Everyone,

So by now you’ve all seen Gar Saxon’s awesome new starship, the Gauntlet Starfighter.

*Spooky voice* Ooooooor have you?

“What?” you say, “But it’s RIGHT THERE in the game, NRAJ!”

Ah, my young padawans, is that REALLY the Gauntlet Starfighter, or is it a Mandalorian Fang Fighter, a ship the Gauntlet is based on?

All right, all right, I’ll stop! But yeaaaaaah, thanks to intrepid Star Wars detective, /u/SilveRX96 over on Reddit, it appears we’ve released the wrong model for Gar Saxon’s Gauntlet Starfighter! Now, in our defense, um… R2-D2?

*hangs head in shame*

Alas, there are no excuses here and I offer my Star Wars credibility card up for you to cut a corner off of.

So we’re working on figuring out which model we need to use, or if this is the correct model with the wrong name. Either way, will have to go through the typical process of building, approving, refining, but since we don’t need to build an ability kit or test it’s functionality, the process should go quickly.

Once it’s all done, we’ll swap the models (or the names) out and all will be right with the Force.

In the meantime, you guys can take screenshots of how you owned (for a very limited time) an ultra-rare misprint of a Gauntlet Starfighter. You’ll be part of the cool kids who were there back in the day when the Gauntlet Starfighter was really the Mandalorian Fang Fighter.

Oh the stories you’ll tell!

Anyway, thank you so much for your patience and thank you to the loyal fans who helped bring the Force back in to balance. We’ll get this corrected and released as quickly as we can (spoiler alert: It won’t be this week).

Also, folks, this is a thread about Gar Saxon and his faux Gauntlet Starfighter. This is not a thread about Clone Helmets.

I mean, it COULD be, but it's not and we should have that convo somewhere else, i.e. not here.

    Forget helmets.
    More reworks please.
  • We get Chewie shards for the inconvenience, right?

    I am scared about this though, how will we know who is who if they've all got their helmets on? I mean, I'm unpopular with this vote, but I'm cool with the 'unique' 'clones' (what does that even mean) being visually identifiable.

    However, if NRAJ wants to put whip cream on his head, I will not stop him.

    All the clones look the same...if they had their helmets on, they would each look more unique

    Different stances, different armors, different helmets, different weapons, and you can see their names when you target them.

    If Jawas can be hooded, Clones can wear their helmets.

    I'm okay with whip cream though.

    If we all jumped on board and just beat this dead horse long enough, CG will cave, put the helmets on and then the clone helmet brigade will fall silent.

    Seems the me the quickest path to peace is to jump on the bandwagon

    nah, if that happens, the people who prefer clones without helmets will start hyacking threads. Just let those clone helmet lover just tire themselves out.

    That's exactly how Obama Palpatine got elected.

  • Since when have you guys care about stuff being canon *cough* Nihilus *cough*

    Unless, is there some subliminal messages here? Is there something Disney hasn't told us yet?

    It's not so much whether it's canon and more the fact it's the wrong ship to the wrong name

    It's like getting darth vader to pilot a tie advanced but the model is a tie fighter

  • Back to the topic at hand, is anyone going to use this? Mine will collect dust just like the Ghost and Phantom.

    CG misses the mark again. Maybe the next update we can get another not worthwhile ship, that's mislabeled, and a rework that you can't use. *shakes head* "Awesome" is not the adjective I would use.

    More empire toons are always welcome. Especially ones with full team cleansers with protection up

    I mentioned nothing of new Empire toons, just the awful reworked one. Veers was the rework, he doesn't cleanse. I do not welcome that abomination of a rework.

    Back to the question at hand, does anyone plan on actually using the new ship?

    Sorry, i meant to say ship instead of toon. With that in mind, my comment still stands. The gauntlet isn't a game changing toon, but we need more empire ships and this one has a good ability

    Have to wait to see the possible reworks on the troopers - no way can you analyze the Veers rework without that info.

    No worries. I agree about needing more Empire/dark side ships. However, releasing an unfarmable character and an unfarmable ship isn't the way to do it. CG basically says, here is your unproven 3* and have fun wasting resources. The cash grabbing business model they've adopted is getting very boring for a lot of players. But, I guess that's business. I'd personally enjoy new farmable ships for characters ppl have. And not this 20 energy, 1 node "farm".
