Bring Out the Big Guns! Wave 5 announcement

By dvorm, in X-Wing

Very nice... I'm in love with that large imperial ship.

Although i am starting to worry / question the speed at which this material is being released. I'll barely have played with Wave 4 as Wave 5 is coming around... *sigh*

The three unique Decimators have EPT's.

Do a Barrel Roll!

Very curious about the debris cloud tokens. Drop them if your ship is destroyed?

2 EPT's, 3 new crew, unique modifications on the YT-2400

Upgrade cards: Ruthless something, seems EPT,

I would guess an EPT, but there is some extra italicized text under the Title. Maybe Imperial Only EPT?

Slated for Q3, assuming they hit that target, means it could be as late as September (although I imagine they'd like to have stuff for sale at GenCon).

Replacement for asteroids? Just for variety?

Only two ships in wave 5? No small ships? Am I reading this right?

It's not at all clear, but that looks like one possible reading to me.

Soo excited. Time for some REAL Imperial destruction to rain down upon the Rebels. HLC YT-2400 will be good . . . Until your ships close to Range 1. Also, I hear Autoblaster calling the Outrider's name.

It looks like the PS 8 ship cost 46 points and has 0 agility. Does the 12 hull and 4 shields and turreted primary weapon outweigh the 0 agility and the fact it eats up half your squad points?

The title turns off your primary attack, though, so you'd only be able to attack at Range 1.

stay on target!

I see the playing field getting VERY crowded with 6 asteroids, and 6 (unique) debris clouds.. Gonna have to have some fancy flying to avoid crashing into them (unless you're Dash of course)

Looks like a Stay On Target EPT... Hmm...

lol 0 defense on the Imperial monster...?

Super stoked. I have got to see Leebo's pilot and Dash's crew cards. I get the feeling Dash is going to be nasty as crew.

With Dash's ability running a turret HLC seems pretty viable, just stay in the asteroids, shoot everywhere! Like ninja stars out of a smoke cloud!

Fleet officer on a shuttle with a tie swarm would be fun to play.

The decimator, zero evade dice, rebel captive / mara jade almost auto include? for defensive tech

Just noticed the 0 agility on the Decimator.. Ouch.. So, no evade dice at all for the thing? Talk about a sitting duck. Guess we'll see a lot of people putting Stealth Device on it, although that might just be a waste of points..

Looks like there are some new Modifications as well.

It must have the ability to obtain an evade somehow, or else why would it come with one?

A little bit of quick math says that in terms of defensive efficiency it's near the bottom of the list. On the other hand, so are the named YT-1300 pilots, and they're certainly competitive enough.

OUR WALLETS CAN'T REPEL PLASTIC OF THAT MAGNITUDE

Depends on some of the upgrades and on the dial of course. Built in Focus is nice. 16 HP is nice. Green 2 bank is nice.

I really can NOT WAIT to fly around with my Heavy Laser Cannon Turret :D
