In X-Wing, as in Star Wars lore, the K-wing’s surprising acceleration, heavy armor plating, and devastating ordnance make it an outstanding ship for hit-and-run operations. One of the game’s most durable small-base fighters, the K-wing features four shields and five hull, along with a primary turret weapon with an attack value of “2.” On top of this, the ship comes with the new SLAM action, which allows it to race across the battlefield and deploy its bombs at an unprecedented speed.

360 degree shooting with the SLAM ability.

you do realize that if you use the SLAM action you cant shoot that turn right? seems pretty fair to me

Well it goes faster that any other ship during that phase and with bombs coming out its ass and with a 360 primary, it's a top tier sniper/bomber.

Any turn a ship voluntarily declines to shoot at me is a turn closer to my victory.

The bombs will make it a problem, though, especially with that 'Advanced SLAM' mod that lets it take a free action if it ends its maneuver in contact with another ship. Going to be very common seeing those things blasting across the battlefield to crash into something and drop a bomb on it...

SLAM is exactly what the X-Wing needs.

Capital idea! I might make a card for this.

Then give it a generic R2 Unit and suddenly this is a 22 pt ship I want to fly again, and how.

Advanced SLAM gives an action if the ship DOESN'T bump.

FFG, if you're listening, this is how you sell the K-wing. Include an x-wing only title/mod and every k-wing hater threatening to hold off on wave 7 will buy four K-wings.

That's actually a perfectly elegant fix for teh X wing, I'm a big fan

I like how FFG is slowly introducing more and more elements that echo Corran's ability . . .

First the Y-Wings' double-tap, now the SLAM sacrificing firing for a round . . . what next?

I had a feeling the K-wing's **** awful turret was just an ancillary add on

and now it can't shoot and SLAM

now I can buy one or two without feeling unclean

I will chop the engine off the k-wings and glue it to the top of my x-wings.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see an upgrade adding SLAM*, Advanced Engine Upgrade?

btw, can anyone make out what those new giant bomb templates do?

all I can see is "ion" and "advanced slam" (another action for bomb related fun)

I hope Charles Barkley is a K-wing pilot card because it's time to SLAM JAM.

Not gonna' lie, the K-Wing miniature itself is **** near turning me on, especially with all the crap you can load into just one.

Pairing that with Kyle and Luke, good lord yes.

Saving grace on the SLAM K-Wing is that it can't take an EPT.

VI SLAM would be just the worst thing since pre-revamp Phantoms. As it is, PS 8 SLAM looks like it can be pretty terrible.

*I keep wanting to say STAB. Ten points to the first person to come up with a logical but slightly funny definition of STAB for X-Wing. I tried to think of one for this post buy I failed.

Still just Taking As and Bs?

Why? You can't attack if you SLAM.

Had to be done

Well, now the Rebels have a Phantom maneuver counter, in a manner of speaking.

It balances nicely with no attack (other than dropping a bomb), though.

With a Navigator, eh?

You don't have to take a shot every turn to win.

In that instance, you would rule that R2s effect can only come into place once per round via the FAQ.
