Wave 7 Speculations

By ldodt, in X-Wing

What i want:

Rebels: Ghost from Star Wars Rebels. Pilots: Twi-Lek Woman, Jedi guy, Ezra, random generic. Crew: Mandalorian Girl, Ezra. Chopper as an astromech. Ghost is the title card.

Empire: TIE Avenger with TIE Advanced upgrades

Scum: V-Wing

Last slot, I have no strong feelings about. Anything works there, I suppose. Though I would prefer a Scum ship as (1) there's not a lot of those and (2) V-Wing is sorta lackluster compared to the Ghost and the TIE Avenger.

I would dearly love to see a Cloakshape and Hound's Tooth, but I'm liking some of these ideas of Adversaries (Xwing/TIE ADV) and Bombers(TIE/Y-wing).

I know some have a good guess at only 3 ships from here on out. I do think it will get to that point at some time but not in Wave 7. It really comes down to the. Numb of ship and pilots the Scum will be behind. I can see the next two. Waves being 4 ships with Scum getting 2 and Rebs and imps split the rest. I would make a guess that Wave 7 will be one large base and 3 small base ships. Scum getting the large base and a small base ship for each faction.

You think scum will get a third large base ship before rebels do?

Its kinda why i suggested the YV929, would give the rebels and the scum their third large ships at the same time.

This is my short list of ships i think would work for x-wing. (finding ship lengths for the galaxies ships has proven tricky)

Rebels
X4 Gunship
YKL-37R Nova Courier
V-wing 7.9m
T-wing 12.2m
K-wing 16m
r-41 Starchaser 16.3m
YV929 22m

Imperials
Ye-4 gunship
Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing 10m
Missile boat 10m
I-7 Howlrunner 11.4m
Fury-class starfighter 19m
Preybird-class starfighter 21m
skipray blastboat 25m
Gozanti 63.8m

Scums
"Kihraxz" Assault Fighter
Vaksai Starfighter
Ixiyen-class
Rihkxyrk Attack ship
Dunelizard
M12-L Kimogila heavy fighter
M22-T Krayt
AEG-77 Vigo
Cloakshape fighter 15m
G-1A starfighter 15m
JumpMaster 5000 20m
yt-2000 29.4m
Personal Luxury Yacht 3000 50m
YV-666 62m
Action VI transport 125m

Base Size (kinda handy for trying to figure out what ship belongs on what base)
fighter 10.8m
large 21.6m

K-wings! But sensibly modified a tad.

Honestly, i'd love them to slow down the pace a little. There's nothing worse than having to rebuy your army every three months. You barely have to time to get use to the ships until something else comes out and shuffles the gameplay (ex: rebel aces overshadowed by wave5).

This is from a gaming perspective, if you're a collector of course this is great.

Slow down to about here ffg?

Whatever happens, Scum MUST get the Hound's Tooth (because Bossk is awesome); and a Preybird (which should be Imperial-useable as well) so we can have rear-firing missiles.

Rebel: BTL-S8 K-Wing starfighter or X4 Gunship

Imperial: TIE Aggressor or TIE Avenger, or TIE/D Automated starfighter

Scum: GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat, Byblos G-1A Starfighter (mist hunter); very possibly two huge ships for Scum- the Wild Karrde Action VI Transport and the Hound’s Tooth YV-666 Light Freighter would be perfect choices for the two “sizes” of Huge Ship.

A wave that's unbalanced in favor of Scum is a decent guess, but perhaps unnecessary. Now that the Scum faction exists, they could easily just throw Scum pilot cards and dials into sets going forward. I'd think more things like Most Wanted would be likely.

We're pretty much out of anything I have an attachment to at this point, so I'll just throw out:

For Scum: Personal Luxury Yacht 3000

SCUM RULES!

MY BODY IS READY...

Seriously no one wants Star Lord in S&V? He could come with a EPT exclusive to him called

" Oooooh Child things are gonna get easier."

Rule Enemies can not fire at your craft unless you are in there primary firing arc.

You cant say no to that!

Seriously though I would love for them to come out with the V-Wing Air speeder. It could come in a two pack box maybe with another V-Wing Air speeder or a V-Wing Star Fighter. Even though it couldnt make this formation the box set could be called the V formation ace pack.

Like I said it would come with rules for fighting in atmo with rules for fighting over every type of land mass or body of water. I dont imagine the V-Wing air speeder ever being comp legal except in comps were its exclusivly a atmo themed dog fight.

I dont know what rules would be, maybe set stress bits depending on land mass your flying by. What ever the rules because its a airspeeder it doesnt get stressed around any type of land mass or body of water except mountains. However speeders can not do k-turns, corkscrews, combat rolls, and tallon rolls. They cant be upgraded to use them ether.

The mod card it can come with that can only be used on V-Wing Air Speeder, or missile boat, is the scram jet (rules:can make a white 6 -10 forward manuver but cant fire primary weapons.) The next V exclusive would be "rapid fire blasters" , it is also the only cannon upgrade it can have.

Range 3 attack 5. If you roll more blanks than hits crits and focus, the blanks rolled is the number of attack dice permanitly reduced from your primary and secondary cannon attack rolls. This effect triggers before using focus tokens.

Last V-Wing Speeder exclusive would be cluster seeker missiles. Range three up to eight targets in primary firing arc at range three are attacked by a strength 2 smart missile. Only evade actions and token can be used to defend. One target can be attacked by more than one smart missile. If there are six enemies can be attacked with 1 while 2 will be attacked with 2 OR 1 could be attacked with three and so on. Crits are not possible.

This missile should be very expensive points wise.

That is a cool one. I have been surprised by just how many cannon freighters there really are.

:)

Any of them would be fine in the game, as Large or Huge models.

^_^

Yah that ones the YV-929 i think its pretty cool and its in rpg game, come on ffg some cross product promotion? Im kinda for the whole ffg line of star wars games melding together into one huge blob of rpg/groundwars/dogfighting/fleetbattle ... abomination.
