We're in a period of transition in X-Wing, and that's always exciting! Let's toss down some names, so we can keep things straight.

Looks like the post CR-90 is the "Fat Han" era.

Before that, we had the "swarm" era.

Soon, so very soon, we will be in the Wave 6 time. I'd like to propose this as the "Scum" era.

And for 6 months after the release of the Imperial Huge ship, can we all agree _right now_ to call it the "Raider Era"? It's just a cool name.

And while we're at it:

Tie Advanced are called "Brights" (or will be again in the Raider Era)

Let's agree that Phantoms can be called "Blinks".

I'd call it the Bright Era... Because the Raider won't have anywhere near the impact that the Tie Advanced will. Unless it causes Epic games to become the norm.

...can we all agree _right now_ to call it the "Raider Era"?

As long as it's not followed by the Temple of Doom era, I'm okay with it.

I vote that from now on scum hawks will be called 'squawks'.

This will be my contribution. My legacy.

So shall it be called by our children and our children's children.

Let's agree that Phantoms can be called "Blinks".

Blink TIEs? Sure, why not. Eyeballs, squints, dupes, brights, trips, blinks, alabaster void nerfs, and nerf patties ...

So we've got:

TIE fighter: Eyeball
TIE interceptor: Squint
TIE bomber: Dupe

TIE defender: Trip
TIE advanced: Bright
TIE phantom: Blink

Lambda-class Shuttle; [synonym for White] [synonym for Space] [Large Herbivore]
VT-49 Decimator: Brick

Anything from a 'Crystal Skull Era' should be erased from the histories ,.. and our memories.

I'd call it the Bright Era... Because the Raider won't have anywhere near the impact that the Tie Advanced will. Unless it causes Epic games to become the norm.

I agree in principle, but "Raider era" sounds way cooler than "bright era".

But the "Bright era" sounds so much more promising.

Wave 4 should be called Episode 1.

All hail the Phantom...

Tie... The Phantom Tie that is.

Affleck was da bomb in Phantoms, yo.

Oops... Wrong movie. Snoogans.

Andrasta Firespray shall be called "The Grenade Slave". You must also yell out "Grenaden!" whenever you drop a bomb.

I'm really holding out hope that scum + Raiser will kank the meta so hard that we call the next year the Rando Era.

I vote that from now on scum hawks will be called 'squawks'.

It is your Destiny... (said holding up a clenched fist)

Raider Age: Interception.

I propose the "Snow Vacuum Brachiosaurus"

Andrasta Firespray shall be called "The Grenade Slave". You must also yell out "Grenaden!" whenever you drop a bomb.

hell, i yell that when i go to the bathroom.

It might be why my wife gets so angry at me.

Wouldn't all these comments be better directed at this thread:
