No Scyk Interceptor Preview?

By gundamv, in X-Wing

Was looking forward to the Scyk Interceptor Preview today, 3 weeks having passed since the last preview. Alas, there was no Scyk Interceptor Preview. Any thoughts on when that preview might be posted?

I hope they save the remaining spoilers for a while so we don't have months and months of knowing what's coming, like we did with Rebel Aces and Wave V.

FFG are probably gona save it for closer to wave 6 release kinda hoping for next wave announcement or imp's huge ships maybe?

yeah, but id rather them fix their "production issues" and get things out to us sooner too. =P

these forums get a little boring without previews

These production issues are most likely things that are outside of their control. At times they have to wait like we do.

I think Dodt got the right of it... FFG probably realise that Wave 6 as been delayed, so is slowing down the pre-release information

I'm definitely excited for a scyk preview too. I've got a few lists in mind with the conservative estimate that they'll be 14 points for the cheapest. It depends on the dial, but I think it'll have to be 14 lest it compete directly with Zs.

if its 14 points, then a HLC version will be 23. =/ I aint paying for that shz.

That little Scyk i'm gona be all like Scyk swarm!

There are some new cannons coming with it.

They probably want to make HLC spam to be a little less appealing. 4 can do some pretty incredible damage but it would be the ultimate glass cannon list. But the title+HLC is 9 points alone, surely you aren't hoping for an 11 point scyk so you can get 5 HLCs?

Anyway, at 23 points you can get 4 and upgrade one to Serissu with 2 points to spare for an EPT.

Patience people, patience.

It might appear today, tomorrow, or... next week.

But soon... sooooon :)

Five auto blasters might be funny.

I kinda wanna read the "Mangler cannon" Card too.

Yeah, but only if it's 13 points, which I'm not counting on. It's a TIE fighter that trades a hull for shield and gains target lock. I think that's worth a 2 point jump.

Well four would be kinda funny too

I'd like to see the previews coming shortly. The boost to the forum is helpful, but more importantly it gets the designated of the squad builders updating their content and we begin to theory craft.

I feel being able to theory craft for months helped ensure me as a customer for Wave 5. I am not overly people to impulse or binge buying in Xwing. If I don't theory craft multiple lists to ensure I plan on using these ships and cards, I will not purchase them.

As it stands, I've no intention of purchasing the Aggressor or Syck, but have designs on Most Wanted and the Star Viper.

I thought that card was a Mango cannon?

What I'm worried about is that this may push the announcement for wave 7 and Imperial Epic to February 2015... :(

I feel the same - I'm really interested in the Most Wanted pack (not all that surprising, it looks like it offers an incredible amount to the game from what we've seen so far) and the sooner I get that sexy StarViper in my hands, the better (I'm not just after her for her Autothrusters, either). But the Aggressor and the Scyk have yet to capture my imagination - possibly because we have yet to see exactly what they're capable of. IG-88? Beep. New cannons too? You have my attention, but not yet my full interest.

I'm sure a single teaser article might quickly change that, though.

I swear the powers that be at FFG are fully well aware of our Recording Schedule and refuse to throw us a bone and let us talk about news the week it comes out...lol!

We even switched up our schedule to try to catch the news the week we record and still...

Love ya FFG!

The Aggressor looks cool, but I feel like you are going to want at least 2 to take advantage of that title. I don't know if I want to invest that. I do want the SV and the Most Wanted pack though at a minimum. A preview of the Syck would have been nice for Christmas FFG ^_^

The first preview was on the 20th of October

The second 2 weeks later

The third 3 weeks after the second

It's been 3 weeks since the third, no preview.

I see a pattern here, but I don't think anybody's going to like it....

I see absolutely no reason for the ship to cost 14 points unless they want it to fall out of competition against the Z-95 and TIE inmediately. And for what reason?

It will be 13, and dont look at Serissu and compare her with Howl. FFG know pretty **** well that Howlrunner was and is underpriced. They just underestimated her talent on release. Serissu costing 2 more means nothing for the generics. They should still be 13!

I want previews. I hate being in the dark.

Also, i want to know what the fruity Mango cannon is able to do :D
