ARC 170s (again)

By mazz0, in X-Wing

No Biggs sadly :(

I'd be 10000% down with Ywing r4-d6 Biggs

Sorta like a Norra/Dutch/Biggs list i had set up?

Norra, PTL, R2-D2, C3P0, VT

Dutch, TLT, R2-D6, Crackshot

Biggs, R2-D6, IA

98 points for a crispy little bid, a 1 AGI ship that lives way longer than it should, and a TL-slingin' Dutch with the crackshot to get past some nasty evades.

I'm fine with that.

Here's the Thane/Norra/Biggs list I'm excited to try out:

Norra Wexley (42) - ARC-170

Push The Limit (3), Plasma Torpedoes (3), C-3PO (3), R2-D2 (4), Alliance Overhaul (0), Guidance Chips (0)

Thane Kyrell (32) - ARC-170

Plasma Torpedoes (3), Tail Gunner (2), R2-D6 (1), Guidance Chips (0), Adaptability (0)

Biggs Darklighter (26) - X-Wing

R4-D6 (1), Integrated Astromech (0)

Thane can adaptability up to move with Biggs, or down to try and get under something and get his extra action. Norra and Thane have a pretty nasty alpha strike (as long as Norra can get her target lock). Thane punishes the enemy for ignoring him once Biggs goes down, and Norra soaks up three damage a turn.

No ept on thane sadly.seriously at least they could've given them all epts...

While true I'd love LR on r3a2 Braylen and just straight crackshot on Thane, it's not a real deal breaker

We'll live

Yeah. I've just resigned myself to throw in R2-D6 on Thane when I need to.

Wish they'd hurry up with this wave. Just opened my Armada wave 3/4 and the Liberty's making everything in X-Wing that's not a stolen police ship look pants! Need some ARCs to make up for it.

YOUR ARCS HAVE DIED!!

Edited by mazz0

nah it's all good, they know a few manuevers

and they have biggs

Any more pics of ARC 170s in action? Need something to keep me going while I wait for them to ship (although the Liberty is helping).

Ugh, theyre taking so long. Why even bother preordering lol.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Fantasy Flight Games does not have the pre-qual franchise license to make games so it is currently not legal for them to produce Pre-quel anything. I sniffed around as far as I can tell the last company to have rights to it was Avalon Hill.

In any case when people say "it's not going to happen", that is a pretty accurate statement (factually speaking) as it would be illegal for FFG to do so. Also I'm sure someone at some point pointed this out already but the WIKI is managed by fans and is not an official source of anything, it's not even a particularly good place to get actual facts about anything.

That said it's entirely unfeasible that at some point FFG might pursue the prequel franchise rights to produce prequel material. It would certainly make sense given that the originally trilogy is horribly saturated at this point and Force Awakens will undoubtedly also be in short order. Reaching for the "Rebels" cartoon to feed games is an alternative they have already pursued so it shows that they are willing to get rights when they want to produce for it.

I suspect for example at some point someone will want to re-print A Queens Gambit, this game has gotten something of a cult following, at this point it costs in excess of 600-1000 dollars on E-bay. It's kind of a collectors item and its actually a pretty good game if you can get past the Gungun hate.

I personally think at some point we will see prequel content in X-wing, Armada, Imperial Assault and the Star Wars RPG. This is an untapped that will probably get tapped if these games continue to be successful.

Who told you that?

We have prequel ship in game. You can see it on goddamn photos.

Saw one on display at the UK nationals. Looks SO good, despite it's size.

What do you mean "despite it's size"? It is supposed to be big, and its the right scale too (or extremly close).

I thought it might look a little out of place given that, for a small ship, it's pretty big. It does not.

Its a fact. Arc-170 were featured in Star Wars Rebels which FFG has license to use.

Can you give me any sources on those "facts" about any licenses?

FFG apparently has The Clone Wars license as well (Asajj Ventress), so that covers about 90% of the prequel ships.

Edited by eMeM

see, we can't yet know if Ventress is a Clone Wars thing or if her inclusion is a massive spoiler for Ventress appearing in rebels

after all, Ahsoka appeared and got left behind just in time for season 3 to promise Ezra being tempted by the dark side

and who better to lead him down that path while not being affiliated with the empire...?

You know they don't have the prequel license to make games because if they did they would be under contract to do so. Franchise contracts always include specific outline of what the purchaser will do with the license, how much they will produce, when the releases will be, even how much money they are expected to make. These are obligations, they aren't optional. If FFG had the license there would board and card games for it.. If you want to see what a franchise obligation looks like, take a look at Game of Thrones and Warhammer for example. There is something new in each of those franchises from FFG every year and its like that because they are legally obligated to do it while they hold the license.

Asajj Ventress in Rebels would be a massive fuckup of the Story Group.

Latts Razzi and Moralo Eval also are TCW exclusive characters.

?

Why do anyone even assume prequel license is separate? SW: Battlefront is the only recent computer game that has no prequel content (except for the music in the trailers), goddamn Star Wars Commander mobile game could have easily avoided prequel content, yet there are multiple Clone Wars era vehicles in Rebel arsenal.

You do realize that isnt exactly how contracts work right? They dont have to be under contract to make prequel ship just to have the contract so that they can make them if they wished to.

In fact I am almost positive that FFG has a license for ALL STAR WARS game making, they have made some prequel stuff for he LCG. Dooku, the Jedi faction have cards in that game. There is no way in hell that FFG has the ability to make cards for the LCG and not ships or cards for Xwing.

They have the Star Wars liscence in general, and have chosen which ships and cards to make for Xwing.

And so far that has not been to make any purely prequel ships other than the ARC-170!

Soory, BigKahuna but your argument has just been shot down like a pathetically piloted Z-95.
