So as the title says, do you think we can expect to get an FAQ now that Rebel Aces is Released? (if in fact it has been ’released’, 26/09 has been thrown about but I never actually saw it anywhere in a FFG announcement)
I'm extremely interested to see if they will address the Jan Ors Crew card queries and the fundamental questions that were heavily debated a few weeks back but with the official line from Frank Brooks being that they don’t comment on unreleased product.
I imagine they will wait to see what the player feedback is from aces. No point updating your FAQ unless you've got a few things to put in it i suppose.
FFG tends to release FAQ updates for all their major game lines at once. We should see one before Worlds in November, but we almost certainly won't get one just for Rebel Aces.
I would guess probably not, once Aces comes out theoretically Wave 5 and even Wave 6 should follow fairly soon. If projections are accurate we will have 7 products coming out within more or less a 3 month window. After that window is when I would guess the FAQ will hit.
I like Buhallin's prediction of one PreWorlds but I think that will only happen if Wave 5 comes out before that (unless they do a preWorlds RA FAQ and then save Wave 5 for when they can do it and Wave 6 together)
Historically, we've gotten 3 a year: One before worlds, one before GenCon, and one somewhere between March and June. But again, it's not just X-wing - lately FFG has been releasing FAQ waves for most of their main games at once. That makes it pretty unlikely that the X-wing release schedule will have anything to do with the FAQ release schedule.

That was kind of the point of the post though, to put it in context the entirety of Keyan Farlander has been known about for 6 Months! and I can tell you people have been playing with it for that long as well im sure (same with Chardaan Refit) the discussions about Jan Ors Crew have been circulating for the last 6-8 weeks minimum.
there have been plenty of questions asked but few answers.

TBH considering the delayed release of pretty much every release for the last year, I highly doubt the 'Q4 2014' for Wave 6 will happen. Don't get me wrong I would be supper happy for it but considering Wave 5 is going to be at least 1 month overdue (with exception of those fortunate enough to get them at Gencon what will be 3 months in advance) I really cant see wave 6 arriving before Christmas.
I guess the Arguments of whether a ship is both friendly with itself and within range 1 of itself will have to wait.

We actually did get an answer on this with regards to Targeting Coordinator. It didn't satisfy everyone, but the wording between TC and Jan is nearly identical, so it's good enough for me.
Well on the bright side Frank can officially answer the question now. So even without an FAQ it should be settled sooner rather than later.
Yeah, I bet we will get one towards the end of October. I think a lot of it depends on when the Wave 5 boats arrive, and if they will be legal for Worlds or not.
Not to mention how the Debris fields will work, if they do, in tournaments.
Edited by SithborgI would certainly like an official ruling on whether Keyan can remove stress to convert zero eyes and if Jan works on her own ship. There are plentiful opinions either way for both of them, but I want an official ruling. Many on here believe that Keyan can always remove stress and convert zero results, but players at my FLGS are unconvinced and didn't allow me to play that way.
As it is released now, you will probably be able to get an official answer now.

Wave IV announcement:
You can look for them to arrive in the second quarter of 2014.
Wave IV release:
June 2014 - 2nd Quarter
Rebel Aces announcement:
"The Rebel Aces Expansion Pack is scheduled to arrive at retailers and intensify your X-Wing battles in the third quarter of 2014!"
Rebel Aces Release:
September 2014 - 3rd Quarter
(I don't think dates were published with the announcement of the huge ships)
They haven't been late much. The only 2014 release that was late was actually a 2013 release - Imperial Aces.

Fair Point, I suppose on this logic though I will have wave 5 in my hands within a couple days then because the end of Q3 is coming up fast.......
If not an FAQ with Aces (since it's not a "wave" release) then I bet we will see one after Wave 5 is officially released. It seems like they put one out some time after each major wave of releases.

Ha! Good point. I always remembered it as destined for Q4, but turns out that isn't what the announcement says. Then again, they've already been in my bag for over a month
