Would you buy Wave 5, if not for upgrades?

By zlynn22, in X-Wing

Definitely getting the YT-2400. Absolute auto-buy for me, first day.

The hulking Imp vessel looks cool enough to buy as well. It's priced low enough for me to not resist.

One of each.

Two of each, as per usual with large ships.

Satisfied FFG customer, checking in.

Hopefully I can get the money together before they release, that's a totally different beast altogether, lol.

I had my own Decimator in Star Wars Galaxies, built using a crap ton of resources and decorated to boot. I'd buy it for the fond memories alone :)

This ^^^ Oh, the memories of flying planet to planet tracking wannabe jedi and then blasting them. Good times, good times.

Damnit ffg will you ever stop making such cool stuff, mah wallet can only take so many hits.

Purely an imp player so I'll buy one see how that plays and maybe a second if it's good.

I'll be buying at least one of each.

So I knew we would have one of these threads. It's inevitable with any release, but wow, that was fast. We don't even know the majority of the cards yet.

Read my original post closely. I am wondering mainly about the face-value recognition of the ships themselves, upgrades aside. I don't need to see the cards to consider this question.

Well there you go. You'll be buying one of each. Job done as far as FFG are concerned surely?

Good point. But it's more likely just because I have no self control when it comes to buying Star Wars things! Especially with this game. Buying only one ship each WOULD be holding myself back. :o

Yes I am getting them!

My guess is this is it for wave 5. I would actually be surprised if there was an additional two small based ships. Also, the fact that each come with a ton of upgrade cars lends credence to this conclusion.

I've not yet succumbed to acquiring a big ship, but man that outrider has me tempted.

I really love the Outrider and I'll buy it. I hoped a long time that they'll release it.

When I take a look at the imperial ship, I feel nothing. It's ugly, but I'll buy one for tournament play.

Initially one of each, then later a 2nd Decimator.

Yes!

This has been another episode of short answers to simple questions. Stay tuned for next week when your normal host Vorpal Sword will return . . .

You think that's bad... I'm going to start one talking about wave 6 in the next 5 minutes if no on else does... just to get it out of the way!

Totally buying them. Great job again.

And to the OP... I want a kwing too... I bought one on Shapeways since I doubt we'll ever get it. Wouldn't mind if we do eventually anyway.

Twelve of each

...my wallet is in the middle of filing assault charges against me

The non-iconic ships don't bother me, I like looking at the EU ship entries on wookiepedia and I think wave 5 is a cool addition to the game. I'm ordering 1 of each initially, can pick up more later if I feel the need. Both those ships will look good on the table and neither one looks like it will be a slouch once dice are rolling.

Imma put in my pre-order for 2 each today.

Would I?

Yeah, I don't have much to add to this.

So say we all! So say we all! So say we all!

(Wrong Forum? :P )

Of course, the ships totally worth it, greettings.

I read somewhere something along the lines of;

"We cannot repel releases of this magnitude. " ^_^

Absolutely. FFG has demonstrated time and again they know how to introduce new ships into this game. A turreted imperial ship? That's a no brainer. The YT-2400? I've actually been patiently waiting for this one.

100% yes on the Deci, looks like a gorgeous ship. Might get 2...

Not a fan of the YT-2400s...didn't really appeal to me back in the shadow of the empire game. I'd only get it if my wife looks at it and says she wants it (she won't recognize it as she's only seen the films).

Very exciting wave!!

Although I'm still waiting for a biiiiig imperial ship :-)

The yt-2400 is technically in the original trilogy. Don't know what else can be considered more iconic. Depending on the points cost the yt-2400 is still a better ship then the decimator IMHO based on what we see so far.

The yt-2400 is technically in the original trilogy.

Well, the original revised edition. :P.

I'll buy one of each as that is all I feel us needed.

I don't follow the EU much, but even if I don't recognize names/ships I have to have them.

I love this game too **** much.

Plus sometimes I do learn a little about the EU.

If it wasn't in a game /movie /comic I won't know it

Nope, wouldn't buy it if it didn't come with upgrades my other ships will need. The Outrider is at least recognizable, but I already have the Falcon which does most of the same things and I don't really love the ship like some people do. And there's no way I would buy an incredibly ugly imperial ship from an obscure game without the upgrade cards. I'll probably just keep the cards and sell the ship.
