Here's why I'm happy

By J1mBob, in X-Wing

I'm with the TC on this. I find ordinance interesting, and I hope this wave makes it more mainstream.

Besides, the death star didn't go down to Cannon fire.

Those stats look great. unique and fitted to their role.

Suppose that new K-wing action could be some sort of "fire everything at once" sort of bombing run salvo?

Until we see stats and what the ships actually do I don't know why people are getting excited

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?

Gameplay wise I'm very excited. Aesthetics wise I hate the Hounds Tooth and Punisher. K wing and the new scum fighter are okay looking IMO.

I plan to just use a 2400 model or whatever instead of the Hound's Tooth model. Might have to substitute regular bombers for Punishers also.
