If you successfully bought Wave 5 at GenCon

By GlobeTrotting, in X-Wing

I believe we're still waiting on confirmation for the following :)

  • Maneuver dial of YT-2400
  • Cost of generic YT-2400
  • Cost of generic VT-49
  • Full rules of debris tokens (can you substitute them freely with asteroid tokens?)

A cookie to the first person who spoils these bits!

40 points for the generic VT-49 (though that is a guess since I cannot attend Gen-Con, hopefully I'll get to next year).

Are there any aces things un-spoiled as yet?

I believe it's just the single flipped card from the overview shot, which is usually a duplicate of one of the face-ups, so unless someone's willing to post the full mission rules...

I believe we know everything, other than the mission details.

Because I want to.

2400: 30 pts. ps2

decimator: 40 pts. ps3

Can't remember dial colors but all turns and banks, straits up to 4 and 4 k-turn

debris clouds can be subbed with asteroids, they give you a stress after the check for stress step, you roll one attack die and take a crit on a crit result, you CAN fire while landed on them

I don't think wave 5 would be purchasable at Gen Con. They might have the preview or a maneuver promotional card. I have seen early releases of waves at tournaments such as the Assault on Imadar Alpha.

well.. they did it. lots of happy shiny people having ships in hand

2400 dial: Green 1 straights and banks, white 1 turns. green 2 straight white 2 turns and banks. All 3 maneuvers are white but it can do turns as well as banks. White 4 straight and red 4-k

Thing is...is this Gencon only or will the rest of us lowly mortals get our Wave 5 ships in a week or two?

Last year, Wave 3 was available in limited quantities at GenCon, and on retail shelves by late September.

If you remember back a few weeks we had a 3 week silence from FFG about X-Wing. At the time Wave 5 had just been updated to at the printer.

I believe Rebel Aces was ready to go at time but they wanted to get a few of Wave 5 on the boat for GenCON.

A few weeks later Rebel Aces is on the boat. At the same time Star Wars New Horizon RPG was put on the boat.

Today New Horizons is available but I believe they are holding Aces until after GenCON.

Wave 5 should be late September maybe early November.

This is all based on observation of watching the Upcoming tab.

Do we know the details on ion torpedoes yet?

I think I recall it being an ionification blast weapon, but I'm not sure if that's true

2400 dial: Green 1 straights and banks, white 1 turns. green 2 straight white 2 turns and banks. All 3 maneuvers are white but it can do turns as well as banks. White 4 straight and red 4-k

so are you saying it has 1-4 straight, 1-3 banks and 1-3 turns and none of which are red and it has a 4-K?

so a YT1300 dial but it also has 3 turns as well? surely not, this dial is amazing.

Edit: just saw a pic of the dial in another thread, that dial is nuts! I'll take 3 turns over the 3-k any day.

Played few games with outrider and dash loved it played against decamatior it's strong

I want to know what cards are face down in the preview pictures. If I remember right they are both modifications.

As usual, they were just another copy of the card behind them. Decimator has an extra Tactical Jammer. Outrider has an extra Counter Measures.

And Why the Decimator is expensive???, it has more stuff???, greettings.

The Decimator's model is much larger than the Outrider, Falcon, or Lambda. In some of the other pictures you can see how even the box is larger to accomodate it.

I'm having a hard time making out the ion torpedo text. It looks like 5 cost for 4 attack at range 2-3. Discard target lock to perform the attack. If you hit they take whatever damage you inflict plus an ion token?

Dude that aoe ion effect! :o

Oh, that's cute. It's an assault ion missile. Suck it swarms

Because I want to.

Why do you always hang around in crowds?
