As discussed in other threads, it's been so long since it was spoiled, there've been so many other things spoiled since (mmm, Lone Wolf), I've kinda lost all enthusiasm for Rebel Aces, and I bet I'm not alone.

So, let's get psyched up again. What is there to get excited about? Cheaper A-Wings while cool isn't especially exciting to me, same for B-Wing's with crew. What are people looking forward to? Cool new upgrades or weapons? Awesome new pilots?

Proton rockets for me; bring a different play style to the A-wing and may persuade some people to dust off the TIE Advanced.

Keyan Farlander.

KEYAN Farlander.

Keyan FARLANDER.

KEYAN.

FARLANDER.

Crew in B-wings, New crew for Falcons and HWK, usefull missiles etc etc etc

Nera Dantels = Trouble for the TIE Phantoms! Really looking forward to that ship!

Anti phantom's lists are so July.

LOL! Fair point

they have to get off the boat for Wave 5 to get on a boat

I'll admit that I'm excited as I'll get my first B-wing with the set. I've only just jumped back to playing Rebels and not used one. So, I can finally used that Ten Numb alt card I won. That will be good.

Not just the refit to make A-wings cheaper, but also the Test Pilot (for free) that gives you an elite pilot skill. This means Arvil Crynyd w/ Intimidation getting to bump into someone and firing 3 red dice vs -1 green die...and not getting shot back. Oh, and at -2 more points. That pays for Intimidation.

Keyan Farlander w/ Oppurtunist means you can get an extra attack die and a free focus, all without doing an action! Throw a Target Lock on that and you will be doing some damage. The only down side is finding someone at PS7 that doesn't have a Focus or Evade action. Good thing Wes Janson is PS8!

Anti-Phantom might be "so July", but I'm looking forward to Nera Dantels w/ Flechette Torpedoes and Munitions Failsafe. Fire those Flechettes at any Phantom in range and put a dang stress token on it! While it is great for Phantoms, it's also not bad for anything, really. Also, you might surprise someone when you fling an Advanced Proton Torpedo at range 1 over your shoulder.

Ooh, I forgot about Proton Rockets! Yeah, they should be nice on TIE Advanceds, that's pretty exciting.

Blimey, Keyan Farlander, I forgot about him too! I suspect we may see a lot of him.

I was hoping to get Rebel Aces this week cause we're having a small store tournament over here, and I was really looking forward to playing with Keyan and Nera.

(my squad would have been Keyan with PTL and Advanced Sensors, Nera with PT and APT, and Biggs with R2 F2)

Oh well.. next time.

The A-wing and all upgrades affecting it. The b-wing on the other hand, can go die in a hole for taking the Y-wings spot >.<

You'll get your y-wing love once S&V come out.

Keyan Farlander and cheaper a-wings to answer the OP.

But I want Keyan in a Y-wing! He's most known for flying in a Y-wing, AND being the only Y-wing pilot to survive the Death Star run! :( :angry:

I don't think the B-wing took the Y-wing's spot. I find the Y-wing suffered in the first few waves due to too many Tie Fighters. With the reduction in the number of ships in a squad, I find the Y-wing survives a lot more. Also, Dutch and R7-T1 w/ Ion Cannon is the best...

Yea but I still want Keyan in a Y-wings...... I mean Steele got his advanced......

It's also partially because I don't really like B-wings anyways. But I think that was a goof on FFGs part, Keyan in a B-wing, he barely flies them.

Keyan + VI + advanced sensors is what I'm looking forward to. HLC can be added depending on how heavily I want to build around him.

I'm also looking forward to the new rebel crew cards.

Oh, and A-wings...

Keyan Farlander will instantly be one of the best pilots in this game. Keyan + EU + Advanced Senors + VI is going to be an incredibly slippery B-wing.

Say hello again to 4 ship rebels, especially with the Fat Falcon meta.

Y-wings fo' life

The 360 secondary weapon B-wing (Nera...something?) with Advanced Proton Torps will be fun.

Also...new paintjobs! You'll have a reason to rock those alt art Dagger Squadron's now!

If you come to my FLGS (Game Empire, Pasadena CA) you'll see my old Hasbro Dagger Squadron B-Wing (it's about 2 feet long!) hanging up above the play area.

Get pumped!!

I don't think you can use Ten Numb with just the alt card in a non-casual setup, since you would also need the ship token, which doesn't come with Rebel Aces.

In a casual setting you could've played it already

There will be no reason to ever field Ten Numb again once Rebel Aces is out. He will be in the Maarek Stele and Fel's Wrath camp.

He's too expensive for 100pts, but in Epic Mode he's unexpected and can shake things up. Especially with Autoblaster...if you can get in range, your opponents dice have been nullified.

Kinda like how no one takes Stealth Device because of Lt. Blount, but no one takes Lt. Blount right now, so now is a great time to take Stealth Device! They'll never see it coming!
