Rebel Aces!!

By CrookedWookie, in X-Wing

i knew this would happen ;P lets wait another 2 years for it well 1 year for release then 1 year for shipping like imperial aces

I think FFG has kind of gotten their crap together on this. First waves had supply issues. And Aces was bad, no doubt. But lately announcing wave 4 and cap ships has been pretty good. The event for end of May means that wave 4 should be out probably around july, and cap ships probably before then.

Maybe I'm wrong but I get the sense that FFG has gotten a handle on that problem.

yeah the retailer in ma hometowns flagship store told me the exact same like u did it seems fantsy flight games is getting better in things like releasing waves and such things hope they keep up with reprints aswell !!

Because the B-Wing needed to be buffed, right?

The A-Wing makes sense, though.

Well it depends - there are a lot of ways to add content. The A-wing could definitely use some love, I think. The B-wing on the other hand, could very well add some more stuff; new pilots, whatever, without giving it anything that would necessarily qualify as a buff.

Plus it makes a lot of sense - X-wing is getting love in the Transport pack. B-wing is hot right now, why not put out some more stuff for it, knowing that a ton of people are playing it and will be inclined to grab it?

That's a good point. Don't get me wrong, I'm excited about this! I just hope B-Wings don't become used even more than they already are, tilting the metagame out of whack.

Just what we need . . . more reasons for people not to play the Imperials and more ways to make Rebels better.

Regardless I am excited for what this might bring to the table in terms of upgrades and stuff. In particular new System Upgrades for my Phantoms.

Now, now, Imperials got their Aces first. And you know that Imperials will be getting their own ginormous ships sooner or later. I don't even really count them (X-wing stuff from the Transport pack aside) since they won't be usable in normal play. ;) Nobody is forgetting about the poor Imps. :D

I have 4 B-wings so I hope for som nice pilots with this box:)

If I got this, it would only be for the B-Wing as I'm not an A-Wing fan ( don't kill me A-Wing fans it's just personal taste ). So if anyone only wants the A-Wing and not a B-Wing I'd be willing to do a swap.

FFG Be like...

You get a buff, you get a buff and you get a buff!

It's coming third quarter of 2014, it says. So July through September.

It's been added to the upcoming product page as "in development," too. It's SWX29! The Tantive IV is SWX22. So we don't know what 23 through 28 are, but they've been planned out already... Since that's six products, maybe it's two Imperial huge ships and another four ships for Wave 5?

Now I REALLY want that B-Wing!

the box looks quite ok i mean 2 of any new upgrade cards like from the imperial aces and then 8 cards 4 generic pilots we know to well and then 4 named ones well a good trait i guess cant wait for more aces boxes !!

Extra crew for the B-Wings???!!!!!

Farlander's ability must be an errata.....

Keyan Farlander + PtL is the closest thing I have seen to OP thus far

So it looks like there are Kyle Katarn and Jan Ors crew cards... very interesting...

HOLY!!!!!!!!!

Yeah, the A-wing is BACK. Between giving up your Missile for being cheaper and double Elite Talents (why hello Daredevil), ****. Just ****. Add in Jake, who is going to be as tough to pin down as Turr, if not more so with all the Focus shenagins Rebels have. I'm curious what the Photon Rockets will do. We get 3 of them.

B-wing doesn't get as much cool stuff, though adding a Crew, and that new Sensor is cool. Can't wait to see what Jan and Kyle do as Crew. And Keyan Farlander is going to really, really hurt.

Notice how all the Rebel stuff sheds stress and all the Imperial stuff gains stress??

Holy crap

They've acknowledged that the A-Wing is overcosted

OMG OMG OMG More B-Wing Pilots! I just had an orgasm.

So the question now becomes how long before they announce the imperial cap ships........

where the hell do u see a crew slot on the b wing card ?

An A-wing that can boost + focus + BARREL ROLL every turn!?!

*freakout*

Yeah I noticed the B-Wing title card beside the Jan (crew) card. It adds a crew slot to the upgrade bar....noice!

BTW, it seems that we run out of letters for our Target Locks :)

It's gonna be a big year for X-Wing...

Observations

What do you guys think the tax will be on a crew?

Nien Numb on a B-wing! Nien Numb!

CP30 on a B-wing!

With Chardaan Refit Reducing the cost of a A-Wing, could we see something like that for the advanced?

Keyan Farlander with advanced sensors (mind blown).

Kyle Katarn (HWK pilot) with Jake Farrel = greatness

I still don't get why "only aces get to fly prototypes" but only have a PS of 1. Very nice paint job though.
