I dont know if this has been discussed on here or not. Just wondering if anyone else thinks that there will be a possibility of more aces packs. I could see them doing something like a new paint sceme on some X-Wings or TIE-Fighters or other older wave ships. What are your thoughts?
think we will see new aces packs in the future?
Short answer yes, longer answer: I'd expect to buy them from my phone while waiting in line for Episode 7.
For the Rebels, I'd expect an. EX pack (E/X wing get it? Get.. Never mind). Those are the two most in need of help, and there's actually a lot of crossover potential for them.
For the Empire, I'd expect a Tie Bomber/Defender pack. More pilots and something... Interesting for them.
And at some point in the near future I'd like to see/expect to see munitions _fixed_. Have them do more damage for the current prices. I'd almost expect that to be an FAQ change, rather than new cards.
Almost certainly. Aces packs are a lot cheaper fir FFG to develop than new ships since no new model needs to be created. I fully expect to see new aces packs regularly, say every year or two.
It would be neat to see a "crossover pack" that has only pilots already in the game in alternate ships- mareek in a defender, Luke in a e, Corran and Tycho in x's. Maybe they could through Mara into a z since she's already crew.
I would like a versus pack pitting nemesis against each other with some scenarios built around the theme.
although it might force people that play one faction to buy things they don't want
I really want to see an aces pack with X-wings. They could use a little love, plus I would love a PS 6 Rogue Squadron X-wing with an EPT option.
Would also be kinda cool to get a Rebel/Imperial combo aces pack with one ship from each. I was rooting for an X-wing/TIE Advanced aces package, bit I guess we already got our Advanced boost.
My money is on a Bomber Aces pack. Y-wing + TIE Bomber. It'll fit between all three factions. New bombs, maybe some way to boost ordnance and make it more useful.
I like the "versus" idea! The first one could be an XWing and a Tie!!!
For the Empire, I'd expect a Tie Bomber/Defender pack. More pilots and something... Interesting for them.
And at some point in the near future I'd like to see/expect to see munitions _fixed_. Have them do more damage for the current prices. I'd almost expect that to be an FAQ change, rather than new cards.
I sincerely hope so. I would love!!!! a new Tie Bomber Pilots and abilities.
My money is on an Xwing Ewing aces pack next. Rogue squadron themed.
Bomber aces pack is coming. Hopefully tied in with a Defender. Wouldn't be surprised if we see an X and E pack afterwards. Those four ships are the four most lacking currently (even though I love the Bomber and Defender).
Sure, they could have the "ACEs of Mon Cal" pack and it comes with E-Wing and TIE Defender.
Well, they did say they had big plans for the Bomber...
Scum and Villainy Aces!
So there is more coming from bombers? Well thats cool. I always did like the TIE-Bomber as a child and it has carried over as an adult. And made several list with them.
**** now im all giddy for our improved Advance and the idea of new bombers all in a nice list
The Bomber is actually fine, thought I would love some new pilots for it. The biggest problem with the bomber is that most ordinance is terrible. This has been gone over ad nauseum, but I think it's worth repeating: if Bombers could do significant, reliable damage to Large ships, they'd see a lot more play. That's not something that has to happen via an Ace pack, and it would benefit a whole lot of ships st once.
Improving ordinance for the bombers would be awesome! I have SIX Tie Bombers and they aren't used anywhere near often enough! The Y Wings could see more use too!
Callin it now: Mara in a Z with an ion cannon.
Something that could be interesting to include with a bomber aces pack: a new pilot or two for the Lambda. And a new title or two for that ship.
I do love the way Most Wanted gives us 3 plastic models, and a ton of new options for several non-included ships.
So imagine an Imperial Heavy pack that had 1-2 Bombers, several new pilots, plus also new stuff for the Lambda and (why not?) Decimator.
I would love to see an S&V 3-pack called "Borrowed Goods" or something similar.
I'd love to see a Defender re-paint along with 2 TIE bombers with a re-paint.
To balance it, we'd see a couple of boosts in the S&V category only, but also boosts to regular Defenders and bombers. I can almost imagine something like:
Proton Torpedo Mk7 prototype - Ordnance : Attack [target lock] Spend your target lock and discard this card to perform this attack. Roll an ATK die, if a <crit> is rolled, deal 3 damage to this fighter. Otherwise, all <O> rolls count as hits.
Just off the top of my head. It's probably insanely broken and I don't know it. :-/
I would like to see a mission pack for the Battle of Yavin. They also should include One Rebel Ship and One Imperial Ship from Wave 1.
The Bomber is actually fine, thought I would love some new pilots for it. The biggest problem with the bomber is that most ordinance is terrible. This has been gone over ad nauseum, but I think it's worth repeating: if Bombers could do significant, reliable damage to Large ships, they'd see a lot more play. That's not something that has to happen via an Ace pack, and it would benefit a whole lot of ships st once.
I agree. I rarely play it for the bombing role....the bombs to me were meh....and the other ordnance not so impressive as well. But the awsome side of this ship it the hull points and the fact it can barrel roll and you can outfit it with all sorts of goodies
Edited by Grave13Also whoever mentioned the idea of a rival aces pack containing a ship from opposite factions...that is an awsome Idea and im sure would sell really well.
Just think you could buy a pack at your game store and if you had your X-Wing game movement template and range template and dice with you you could play a game on the spot with a friend... throw some mission scenarios in it as well......man that would be so great!
Edited by Grave13Bombers would be next in row for a fix.
Not the Bombers need the fix, but ordnance on Bombers + more unique pilots.
And I'd love to see more unique Tie Fighter pilots.
So its a Tie Fighter + Tie Bomber Aces Pack then ![]()
