S&V Cards

By konradkurze, in X-Wing

Are there any S&V cards we don't already know? Calculating was the last one that we didn't know and the only other ones might be the face down Illicit Card in the IG88 expansion, and the face down Torp in the S&V 'core'.

Do we know what those are, or are they only two remaining mysteries in all of S&V?

Face-down illicit and torp are probably duplicates of already-spoiled cards.

Still missing the PS1 HWK and PS4 Y-wing though.

This, Although we probably already know everything about them we don't know the point value still we can guess.

The rebel gold squadron PS 2 Y-wing is 18 and the grey squadron PS 4 Y-wing is 20 points.

With the S&V Syndicate thug being a near-exact carbon copy of the Rebel Gold and we know that the unspoiled y-wing pilot is a PS 4 we can come to speculate that the point cost will be 20.

As for HWK- is is a little tricky. Now the abilities do add their own point value so there can easily be some error. But lets take a look at PS skill to point value for the Rebel HWK-290s and the S&V HWK -290s

x = pilot skill, y = point cost

Rebel HWK-290s (2,16) (4,19) (6,21) (8,25)

S&V HWK-290s (1,x) (3,19) (5,20) (7,23)

Looking at a linear regression chart we got the following equations.

So we got two functions. r(x)=1.45x+13 & s(x)=x+152/3

So according to this model the S&V Pilot Skill 1 would be ~17 points. It may be a full point more than the Rebel Operative or it may cost the same while being 1 pilot skill less.

So why would it make sense 1 point cost more with lower stats? Well S&V HWK-290 ships do have access to illicit upgrades. While that allows Byrne pirates to cost the same as Tala squadron being 1 skill lower how would this illicit slot justify the generic scum-hawk being 1 more point then the rebel operative at 1 lower pilot skill?

Well the HWK has 1 more hit point. yes only 1 shields but twice as much hull as the Z-95.

I'd like for an Aussie to come forth and bring us the Ps1 HWK and PS4 Y-Wing card art from wave 6. I'd be able to release the next version of the vassal module.

Is there any hope that the PS4 Y-wing will have an EPT? I think the utility of scum Ys will rise dramatically if it does.

The PS6 pilot doesn't, although of course that doesn't rule it out for PS4.

For you, what EPTs would be terribly useful on a PS4 Y-wing?

face down Torp in the S&V 'core'.

Bomb Loadout.

Predator is always attractive.

EDIT: I don't mean that an EPT couldn't be useful--Deadeye, for instance. It's just that one of my favorite things about Y-wings is their no-fuss efficiency, even with very few upgrades. Allowing an EPT could be great, but I don't think they need it to be useful.

You really think so? Because in all the Predator movies they always say "You are one big ugly motherfu..."

Especially on a warthog-type Y-Wing. Determination might also be useful

For rebels and generic Y ept, the problem is you're essentially paying 3 points for the ept (gray squadron + astro), 6 points for predator

At that point, might as well hop on Dutch. He's more expensive, but at least that price is reflected in a useful ability.

For scum Ys, I'd bet a Most Wanted box that the PS 4 is completely and utter generic. If the friggin star viper generics can't get an EPT, I'm sure as **** not expecting it on a Y wing. It's going to be a Gray Squadron with yellowish brown paint and a...slightly less stable astromech.

PS 1 HWK is almost certainly a Rebel Operative clone with less PS and an illicit slot thrown in

Marksmanship would also be decent on the BTL-A4. I for one am hoping they opt not to repeat the same upgrade mistake on the Scum-wings that they did on the Rebel version.

Any hope? Yes.

Reasonable hope? No.
