I would want them added are additional factions. Diversity of play is a key element in these types of games - its nice to not always face the same opposing forces. * Republic - clone wars * CIS - clone wars * OLD republic - kotor era * Sith empire - kotor era * Corporate sector Of course, as others have stated it would be cool to see a few cross overs - after all, some ships do cross the somewhat blurry lines here and there. Finally, to the person who says "but a battle were Imperials are fighting old republic is not realistic" - neither is the same faction fighting with both sides fielding vader ..... Anyway, just my two cents. Oh, and I would love a good large scale battle ground game too!

While I don't know about a scum faction (the idea of mercenary factions is interesting) I would love more factions long term; * Republic - clone war era * Confederacy - clone war era * Corporate Sector - any era * Old republic - KOTR era * Sith Empire - KOTR era. I would rather see most of those before a "first order" or scum faction.

Actually, it should be four bulk freighters, with maybe one ship for escort from the imperial navy on the board for the imperial side. Then the rest of the imperials hyper in on turn 2.

Actually, this is kind of how we do it in our star wars RPG games. We have parts of the xwing and armada mechanics for use in space ship battles. Basically, the players move their ship around on an armada scale map, with npc ships out there, etc. If they get engaged with something, we switch to xwing ...
