Wave 8 announcement is coming soon!

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

On April 1st wave 8 will be announced, super excited and happy Friday indeed.

Oh man, I would love to see FFG take a cue from thinkgeek or blizzard and do some April Fools updates.

And it will include the Naboo N1 Pilot Anikin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks.

I did a good one last year. People still occasionally fall for it.

Jar Jar would be a crew, and if you put him on a ship it must be immediately crushed by a steam roller.

Jar Jar would cost no points and would require both players to say "mesa Jar Jar Binks" while rolling defense dice until the ship he is on is destroyed.

You heard it here first folks Naboo starfighters in x-wing wave 8....

I think the ship is like a dirty band aid FFG should just it off quickly.

Also announced is the Ewok starfighter a hand made wood miniature, Admiral Akbar "Its a trap" card and a Sarlacc obstacle token.

Naboo starfighter is would be like an a-wing with an astromech. They could add a double barrel roll or it could allow you to do your action before you maneuver. Maybe give it 3 evade also.

Would *Anakin Skywalker and *Darth Vader be able to play in the same game since there names are different?

Can't wait to play Jedi Jar Jar

It'd be Annie Skywalker.

And no, they're different factions. One is Independent Systems, the other is Empire.

It's not Friday yet, man, it's still Thursday. Jumping the gun a bit.

New epic-size:

The steam-powered starship from Dark Empire II.

The N-1 is still a better choice than the K-wing. No matter how much I hate JarJar, the ending battle of Episode I was admittedly good (if you ignore the majority of JarJar's high jinks).

Really? I thought the Naboo military was pretty much just for show, while the A-Wing was designed for war. I would imagine the N1 being worse in almost every way - less manouverable, lower attack, weaker shields/hull.

Now, the Arc-170 on the other hand............ <ducks>

If you ignore the gun gan water balloon weaponry. The Anakin flying a starship with no training and destroying the droid control ship by flying totally out of control, and getting inside of it. The absolutely horrible swordsmanship in the light saber battles. However, other than that I'm totally with you.

All that being said, the Naboo N-1 is a starfighter design that makes sense and looks great (other than the astromech slot, which I don't much care for). The only issue with it is that it was in the prequels, and the prequels left such a bad taste in my mouth that I have a hard time actually liking anything that came out of them. However, the N-1 is a cool ship, and with dual throttle controls would yaw like an absolute beast. One major thruster in that long tail and a couple in the nose would also induce great pitch control. Roll authority would suck, but this matters less in space (though you still want good roll authority). Also, the nose guns are well-positioned for concentrated fire. And the cockpit gives good all-around visibility. Solid ship design, Naboo peoples.

N-1 would be called "auto pilot" and have a pic of Annie.

That's also part of the trolling. ;)

Don't forget the EPT "This Is Pod Racing!"

we are going to see if there is by any chance of FFG ruining X-wing anymore than what GW has ruined Warhammer :P

And it will include the Naboo N1 Pilot Anikin Skywalker and Jar Jar Binks.

and an ewok and a gammoran!!

This was an early version I got from a friend of a friend. It might have changed in testing.

I would love to see an announcement that FFG will introducing the AT-AT but won't be implementing ground combat.

Imperial Walkers... In Spaaaaaaaace!

(Someone with better photoshop skills should put some tie fighter wings or y-wing nacelles on an AT-AT)
