Personally I'm happy about the new faction as the hwk and firespray are two of the mosy un-used shils in my group and hopefully this will give them a shot in the.arm, even if its for 3rd faction. I also believe with the most wanted box if you already have a firespray and hwk you will likely have over 100 points to work with. Not a bad way.to slip a new faction in.

It looks like there's 4 Firespray pilots, Boba, Kath, a named 6, and a generic 5. There a new title card as well that goes with the PS 6 pilot, but I forget the names/lore.

Emon Azzameen, and the title is the Andrasta. (characters and ships from X-Wing Alliance).

It gives me hope that we'll see Ace and Aemon Azzameen as well, along with the Otana, Selu and Sabra...

Innie or Outie, that matters only when getting into bed. And not even then for some. In the matter of a piece of cardboard accompanying a plastic model of a fictional spaceship? Current consensus is that Echo is a woman, so let's keep her that way.

Scum are already my new favourite faction, I cannot wait to see what new Kath can do, and I think a crazy defensive Starviper + M3-A swarm will be pretty neat.

Aye, you're not the only one really looking forward to it. The "Most Wanted" pack looks absolutely amazing value in terms of opening up new possibilities, the new ships all look great, flavourful and interesting, and Scum opens up a huge amount of options for future releases.

I've never actually picked up a HWK - mainly because I don't think it really fits in with the existing Rebel 'look and feel'. But I can easily see myself flying it alongside some Scyks and Scum Y-Wings.

You look about as happy as I am.

I did a little dance in my game parlor when I heard about SCUM!

Yeah Boba and Kath...Hurray!

Yeah I was never in love with the HWK either, but now I just might have to love it.

I Love the concept of the IG-2000 but I cannot shut up the devil advocate in my head who say that we are being use by FFG tho buy more then 1 of this large ship.

Still great idea, great ship, great concept I want 4.

"Vive les proxis!"

As opposed to before, when you had to buy more than one of a given large ship if you wanted extra Sensor Jammers, Gunners, Advanced Sensors (pre- E-Wing), Stealth Devices or Engine Upgrades,

Yes and no I use proxis card(witch is more easy than ship and base) for my casual play.

I was going to pickup an HWK to use in my Edge of the Empire campaign. Scum gives me double the reason.

Nice! You stated that Whisper and Echo are women. Not sure I believe that or not. There is no information, but I would bet they are clones.

Other than that great stuff as always.

That's a good point, and I notice people often like to run several of one kind of large ship in a squad. I was watching a YouTube video by Sanctioned the other day and one squad was using two omicron shuttles

Only 2?!?! You can easily fit 3-4 to a list. Dom took 3 Lambda + 1 BH to the top 8 at Gencon!

Mostly though I want to see these new HWK pilots, they sound tantalising nasty.

PS: ​Even if "Echo" wasn't a woman I'd still be in to her i mean have you seen the way she dances through space. Beautiful.

Enter Sandman:

Xizor + Virago + PTL + Sensor Jammer

Serisou + wingman

Z x3

Might be enough to upgrade to another M3-A depending on final costs.

Official FAQ refers to Echo as She, Whisper referred to as She in article.

It really seems like people want to resist accepting women, despite evidence. Good job.

All kinda yes! If I wasn't about to go bankrupt I would totally get more shuttles. Hopefully I will find the cash to buy the Starviper because that setup looks fun!

Lemme know if ya need the Starviper, girls gotta stick together and we all need Guri!

I'm personally looking forward to new Boba the most so far. I keep trying to think of ways to turn him into an absolute monster

I think the new Boba already is a monster, right out of the box. I hope we see some range 1 relevant crew cards in Scum to synergize with him.

I am so excited to see what Kath has to offer!

Boba already is the best intimidate pilot in the game. Get right up in their grill and get all of those rerolls. Everybody else gets to shoot at their negative agility guys that he bumps.

Heck, the Star Viper is the literal reason I'm getting in to Scum. Shields were strong, hull was holding, then blammo, direct hit. That thing is so. darn. pretty.

I'm absolutely exited.

I think the star viper is totally awesome, but I'm a little happier about the Y-Wing, nice to see that this beautiful ship gets a second chance.

I like the way we've got multiple colour schemes within the scum faction. The repainted Y-Wing's, Scyks and HWK's give us a murky, battered, rusty look, while the Black Sun ships are sleek and uniform...

Visually, we're going to start seeing some really diverse-looking lists!

The official FAQ lists Echo as female. There has been ongoing, aggressive argument against her being a woman.

That it even requires discussion is weird. That you decided to continue derailing a conversation about scum and villainy with this in some awkward effort to argue the point and defend yourself completely solidifies your rank as captain in the forum troll Navy.

Now stop. Is it a sore spot to once again have all conversation be rudely shunted onto a war on women in games? Yes. Yes it is.

easy now. you seem to be the one with the chip on her shoulder about this. I agree with the poster above. I tend to think of whisper as female and echo as male. this does not constitute some mythical war on women. you can choose to think of them both as women, and I'm cool with that. not cool with being "strongly encouraged" to shut up if I dont agree with you. I am glad there are women in star wars, and I am glad there are a few women who play this game. dont let your rabid feminist tendicies change my mind. to quote Solo "must have hit pretty close to the mark to get her all riled up like that huh kid?" In other words, lighten up. for the record, I'm glad you are here, just, enough with the gender war PC crap huh?

I agree with the poster above. I tend to think of whisper as female and echo as male.

Just to clarify, and nothing more, I didn't really have an opinion as to who was what when I made my OP. I was replying to SableGryphon, because I was genuinely curious what made him list them as female (because I respect his knowledge of the game and knew he must have a good reason to think what he did) and a quick search had turned up no solid info.

Based on the information I was directed to, I now assume Whisper and Echo are both female. And I have absolutely zero interest in debating that with anyone. Whatever makes you happy I'm cool with. With that said, I think this line of conversation needs to stop in this thread, which is about 1) The OP's review video, and/or 2) the wave 6 releases.

Same here. I was content with just playing with my friends figures, but then I saw they were coming out with S&V which made me want to buy the game. And then I saw the Star Viper and Scyk and I just had to have it and multiple copies of them.

Thanks, that's much appreciated. Let's just keep this topic on track. This is about scum and villainy in x-wing the game, not scum and sexist, right-wing villainy on x-wing the forum.
