FFG, please list the spoiler for the Phantom & Defender.

By Takeda, in X-Wing

The suspense is killing me:). This would bring a lot of joy to a loyal customer !!!!

I would expect to see one of these toward the end of the month, if not a little sooner. But they have five Wave 4 preview articles to space out over February, March, April, May, and June (one general preview and four ship-specific ones), so we'll have to wait three or four weeks to see each new one.

Are you dashing my hopes that Wave 4 will be available in April?

Those hopes have already been dashed with the announcement of Kessel run 2.0.

Well, Imdaar Alpha is a pre-release tournament and it's happening at the end of May/beginning of June… and at that point, I'd guess it'll be a GenCon release. :unsure:

I can't necessarily "like" this, but I do agree with it :(

If that's true, it's a pretty massive improvement over how things have been lately.

Wave 3 came out in Sept 13, over 5 months ago. So 5 or so months between Wave 3 and Aces.

If we get the Transport, CR-90 and Wave 4 by Aug or even Sept, that's still 4 new releases in the same time frame between Wave 3 and Aces.

Does everyone forget that Wave 3 was announced in May, released in Sept? Yes, the Aces delay was bad. Worse than Wave 2. I don't see why you shouldn't expect Wave 4 by July.

Actually, it's just as bad as Wave 2's delay.

Wave 2 was originally slated for release in November 2012, and was actually released at the end of February 2013.

Imperial Aces was originally slated for release in mid-December 2013, and it's actually being released in mid-March 2014.

They're both three-month delays.

With Imdaar Alpha coming at the beginning of June, I think a mid-July release for Wave 4 sounds about right.

Good lord, this kind of thread already ? The Wave 4 announcement is hardly a month old, it shouldn't be too difficult to exercise a little patience. I'm sure we're not so bored with our B-Wings and shuttles that the game has been rendered unplayable until the next release.

Please, have a coke, a smile, and play a few matches. Everything will be okay.

Or even better, some coke and a smile. That being said, I am very interested in Wave 4, contrary to some posts I've seen, but having my Aces and Transport will more than kill the time.

B-wing isn't my style, all hull and no dog fighting capability. It's more of a jousters dream come true.

... what? The B-Wing is a pure dog fighter. It's terrible at jousting. With the short K-Turn and the more short range dial (excluding the red 1 hard turn), it's an excellent close in knife fighter. Especially if you put on Advanced Sensors, allowing you to act even as you pull a red hard turn or K-Turn, or to barrel roll prior to moving to setup a killer shot. Or put Sensor Jammer on there and let your enemy agonize about lost damage.

In my meta they are a paper tank.

Either the people you play with are amazing or else they don't know how to fly the B-Wing effectively.

This. Operator error seems to be your problem, not the ship. Either way it begs the question, what happens when Wave 4 doesn't meet your expectations?

A little of both but most players in my meta are extremely good at maneuvering along with PTL /boost. It's somewhat hard to explain but if it doesn't have high defense dice it dies quickly. The meta primarily consists of high pilot skill combined with boosting into a prime shot or denying your opponent a shot at all.

Patience youngling...

or...

break into their headquarters and take those plans by force!

Ok let's just get it out there shall we. Its really all about that Rebels are squeakily clean do gooders that need to be exterminated by the empire. :) of course I still like the Bwing as a model, fully converted mine!

The Bothans are working as hard as they can... but even they deserve time away from stealing plans.

For the Phantom all I needed to see was 4 base attack dice...and the ability to put a Gunner in that bad boy!

Please DON'T release the stats / spoliers. Some of us like to open the ship and read it the first time for ourselves.

Wait that long, sir you have serious control over yourself. Being part of the dark side I have not patients such as this. :)

They can easily please both by releasing spoilers! If you don't like looking at the spoilers, just don't do it!
