To include Slave I, Hounds Tooth, and IG-2000 in the bounty hunter ship mix to get the OT Falcon but not Punishing One tells fans that Dengar might as well not have even been there onboard the bridge of the Executioner on that fateful day when the Empire gathered the six best bounty hunters in the galaxy to hunt down Han Solo.
Granted, Greedo was dead by then so you have an excuse to not include Manka Hunter, and Zuckuss and 4-LOM have yet to find existence in the game, but to leave out the sleekest, sexiest Corellian ship in the galaxy is an affront to fans, bounty hunter enthusiasts in particular.
I would rather have Punishing One in my arsenal than yet another Falcon. It’s more fresh and new, and offers the chance for further cohesion and synergy among the bounty hunter ship faction.
Don’t get me wrong I’m vehemently pursuing the Falcon and am looking to most likely earning the 7-Star version of such upon the first launch of the Falcon event. That’s only because early on in my playing I went bounty hunter mains, and as an enthusiast I believe a mistake was made not releasing Punishing One first, giving players time to farm it, then requiring all five bounty hunter ships to get Falcon.
The reason I found, that they haven’t done this, is because Punishing One isn’t actually canon.
All of it’s apprerances, according to wookieepedia, come from Legends writings and comics. But the fact of the matter is Dengar has to have a ship. The fans would not want you to change it from Punishing One to something else.
So this dilemma presents Galaxy of Heroes with a unique opportunity: TO ACTUALLY MAKE SOMETHING CANON AS A DEMONSTRATION OF ITS ULTIMATE POWER IN THE STAR WARS UNIVERSE.
Perhaps Capital Games will bring on the Punishing One later in the game, making it canon. DO IT. You know you want to.

That said, there might be some issue with rights concerning EU content. Not sure where Punishing One stands in that regard.
So lore wise slave one plus empire makes much more sense
EU - Expanded Universe, or European Union
Expanded Universe - basically old name for Legends.
The cards were fun to collect, but unfortunately the game itself was so needlessly complicated that it was the exact opposite of fun to actually play.
Anyway, I'd like to see Dengar's ship added, sure, but it seems like a weird thing to get so worked up about.
You’re crazy! I had a blast playing that game. Still have my decks from way back then
It was fun initially, but with every new set they added like 75 new rules and it just became a hot mess.
I still have a binder full of limited edition rares in protective coating somewhere. I keep waiting for them to become valuable and it keeps not happening.
Ethical Understanding.
1) Did you know CUP is in the game? We need CUP. We also need Greedo. In relative terms.
2) Speak for yourself.
Good point
I still have all my cards. Worth nothing now
You obviously never read Tales of the Bounty Hunters back when Star Wars novels were cool in the late 90s.
Nah, Bossk even had a line. Dengar just stood there looking like a slob. At least IG-88 was scary looking.
Dengar has the armor and the bandage on the head, adding an element of mystery. And he was human. This is the kind of psychopath who could go into a crowd of 25 stormtroopers, kill all of them and come out standing. He arguably should’ve been the Bounty Hunter tank with all that armor. In Tales of the Bounty Hunters he’s actually the guy that pulls Boba Fett from the Sarlacc Pit but I guess that’s Legends now and doesn’t count. If you’re the top six bounty hunters in the GALAXY you’re super talented and should be up there with the rest with a rightful ship at your side.
I read it this way, then reread it and disagreed
Rebels and resistance prob need the biggest boosts right now... rebels have good ships but capital almost and autoloss against anyone with HT unless your reapering TM and ITF to get to special first....
Resistance X wing is gonna be REAL good someday with more resistance ships
