Wave 7, and how I wish for card-only expansions

By Kallel00, in X-Wing

X-Wing is pretty much a complete game

All (most of) the ships we've come to love are already in the game, aside from a few here and there in the EU.

Many of the pilots we've come to love are already in the game (I personally would want more pilots from Stackpole/Allston's Rogue - Wraith squadron EU books).

New upgraded pilots, new upgraded ships, re-writes of certain upgrades, all of that should be next. Instead, we're getting a new wave with Rebel/Imperial ships we don't really care for but will end up buying just for the upgrade cards that provide intentional/accidental fixes to existing underused ships (which surely are to be offered in a buy-at-least-two-models-or-you-won't-be-able-to-compete).

Power creep is understandable, but it's starting to sink in that the more this game progresses, the less it feels like what X-Wing should be about. A list or X-Wings flown by Wedge/Luke/whoever gets totally outclassed by generic Z-95s (+FA) ??? Welcome to the future I guess ...

I'm glad about Bossk's arrival however. Scum needs a bit more variety ... (so the FK is welcome as well I guess)

P.S. At least scum expansion revived Squints but it's imo something that could've been done differently ...

I'd like if a wing of X and Ys were more viable. I really wouldn't mind a second edition coming soon.

Shoot with the new films it's almost mandatory.

I agree about a 2nd edition with the new films!!

Also, I think Armada's going to have the same problems sooner than later. Capital Ship battles = awesome, but truly the end game is Imp Star Destroyers vs Mon Cals ...
