The Empire and the Rebels each get a small base super-bomber. I'm happy because this means ordnance will be fixed, expanding the tactical options in the game. The super-bomber role to me seems like one that isn't yet filled, so I'm glad FFG found a unique take for new ships.

Nobody calls the Y wing turret OP, and hopefully the K turret will be similarly weak and the emphasis will be on the ordnance.

I would also suspect the super-bombers will find their way into competitive epic play... And that shout out to epic makes me happy too.

Also, the large base Scum ship isn't a 360 degree turret. More happy.

Anyone else happy?

I will be when the announcement goes up on the site and I get to see me some cards.

I'm happy. Finally a main line fighter for my Scum lists...

Generic Pilots and I'm good for a long time.

I want to see some stat lines.

I'm only happy about the Kihraxz. But for some reason they didn't go with the most common variant.

I'm happy because I get to laugh at all the strong reactions against this wave

need to see some cards before I get excited, though

and that scum fighter better ******* have barrel-roll

I like Ys and Zs and all, but I needs me a generic b-wing analog or I'll numb from boredom

I want to see some stat lines.

What I'm really holding my breath for is the ordnance fix. I want to proxy it NOW!

I'm happy with new Announcement ... though I am still a proud TIE Avenger- and Xg-1-Jockey who wants his fix....

The K-wing has a primary turret.

Still happy?

Don't say that! They'll read the thread and take it out of the announcement as revenge for all the hating on the Superbombers! Or something.

I'm happy because it's a nice wave of nice ships, not super-stars, but still nice ships, it will have an ordinance fix.

and those reactions.

That stupid ass K-wing. They just made my decision to get Armada pretty easy. I might be done buying new X-wing stuff.

I'm happy because i survived the news more or less healthy and because we are all friends.

Good, we don't need an attitude like that on our X-wing forums.

I understand several people do not like the aesthetics of the K-Wing, but for a super-bomber, it sure does look the part.

meh

so long as it doesn't have an unhinged dial, the small base and possibly low power of the turret will keep it from abusing the game system as hard as fatties do

considering this wave is about super bombers, I highly doubt we're seeing a primary weapon above 2. Unless the game designers have been driven to suicide by alcohol while simultaneously smashing their heads through several layers of cement, the K-wing's functionality will function more around its 2ndary weapons and less around exploiting the worst mechanic in the game

I just don't get the crying over how a ship looks.

Decimator is stupid looking with it's nonsensical skylight dome and strange bridge/cockpit layouts. Not to mention it's horrid turret placement....YT-2400 doesn't even pretend to make sense, and looks no better than the K-Wing.

You may like some ships, you may not like some ships. Luckily, you don't have to buy them if you don't want to.

If Star Wars made sense, it wouldn't be fun.

nah, star wars makes sense

it just ain't logical sense, Star Wars is way too cool for that

I'm also curious what the dials will look like for the super bombers. I'm actually hoping for a very restricted dial, so the super bombers fly in such a way that you feel like your fighters are escorting the B-17 across the map.

mixed feelings on this

on one hand, an open dial could just feel wrong (especially on a crummy turret)

on the other, their roles as "bombers" would suffer a bit because Seismics need higher PS to guarantee hits and proximity mines need you to point your butt at the enemy (generally after flying over or next to them)

I think a combination of stiff turning but a 5-straight or something could be pretty swanky, since you'll have to mind their facing even more than usual

Where in the hell is the Assault Gunboat!!!!!?????

Could the Hound presented as a bomber of missile ship too? With what seems to be a second arc of fire, I could see it beeing the arc of fire for missiles or torpedoes.

From a different thread, but I kept losing it:

Guy from our local X-Wing group was actually in the 2nd row, and got some much better pictures.

Stats are:

TIE: Punisher

Attack: 2

Agility: 1

Hull: 6

Shields: 3

(Target lock, focus, boost)

Kihraxz

Attack: 3

Agility: 2

Hull: 4

Shields: 1

(Target lock, focus)

K-Wing

Attack: 2

Agility: 1

Hull: 5

Shields: 4

(Target lock, focus, and a new action)

Hounds Tooth:

Attack: 3

Agility: 1

Hull: 6

Shields: 6

(Target lock, focus)

Looking at the stats, I agree that those aux arcs on the Hounds Tooth might use ordnance.
