Swallow and Narukami would be great.. One because is a WiGE with a ton of ME262 vibes and the other is a menacing tank.

Edit. Added an extra N to Narukami  :'(

In principle, I'll support any that aren't limited to small numbers of factions - eg. no FedSuns-only, no Falcons-only.

However these are pretty widely available:

R10 - about time we had an omni-APC, one squad in, one hanging onto the roll bars!
Gossamer - just looks cute, and we could use some new VTOLS
Hadur - give the Arrow Regulator some competition
Ballista - even if it does die off post-Jihad, that's still plenty of time
Sekhmet - looks good!

Sorry, Narukami is DC-only and Red Kite is FWL-only,  which is very limiting, and the Hanse is stupid ;)

Having a Strix would be neat, it's a cool design.

Definitely want some Gun Trailers—ideally a base trailer and then a series of separate guns that fit on top for easy magnetization.

Would definitely find use for a Shun.

Could use a Narukami.

The Savior would be a wonderful objective/campaign piece.

Can’t see the egg past all the crow feathers.  ;)  ::)

I almost said gun trailers too. I couldn’t remember either.

This suggestion comes with a guarantee of a pledge if it moves forward.

Lol, if the quadvees were available last year, we would have put some in the Gen Con Bloodright, since it was Hell's Horses.
