More cool ideas!

You know how much I love Scum, Joe. They've been my favorite faction for a while. But the Scum X-wing should have been the Dunelizard or the Vaksai. I'd have bought at least 4 Vaksais. There is no telling how many Dunelizards I'd have bought. Maybe all of them? But this thing...meh...not worth 15 dollars.

Needs moar Black Sun colours.

I say it looks more like an E-wing! But yes I will buy 4 at least.

Depends on the dial and the ps2 pilot cost. If this ship as-is costs the same as an x-wing, it will not be that great. The x-wing is actually slightly more durable with more shields. I especially am disappointed--considering Cobra's pilot ability--that this ship doesn't have boost.

Like I said, though, it all hinges on the dial and cost. This ship doesn't have many actions or upgrades to give it anything to bring it above simply a jousting ship, so it NEEDS to be cost efficient.

I really, really like it.

Unlike some others, I adore the colour scheme and these will look great next to my beloved Scyks.

The PS6 is Graz the Hunter, as you can see from the base tile alongside the upgrade cards.

[edit] I think the PS2 will cost 20. PS9 (at 29 points) minus PS2 equals 22, minus 1 for the PS9 having an EPT equals 21, minus 1 for the PS9 having a pilot ability equals 20.

Besides, the hull/shield configuration on a Kihraxz is worse than an X-Wing, so it would be silly to make them cost the same.

It looked derpy in the lowres pictures but now we'e got close up shots I love it: it reminds me of a lighter, scummier version of the V-wing Airspeeder which I loved. The picture on Wookiee both looks completely different and kinda derpy (I'd take the Vaskai over any of the Wookieepedia variants of the Kihraxz) this... this I like.

Still, remember that the Kihraxz here is literally one step up from a Z-95. Vaksai and Dunelizard fans: I wouldn't write off those ships yet.

(Although I personally think based on prior ship selection the Rihkxyrk is the most likely. :( )

f this ship as-is costs the same as an x-wing

I very much doubt that. I'd say 18-20 for it. Maybe even 17.

I like it, I don't know if I'll get any, no more than 2 anyway... S&V is fun but part of the fun is the odd things they can do, and this looks like a straight up fighter.

But I like how it looks, but would rather see it with different colors.

I know, and I would hug you tight, like a big brother and so forth, if I could.

^_^

This is what we have until Fall, and I do like the look... so let's work with it.

;)

I agree the style one or two had us both happy for this class of ship. You know FFG could make that still. We have to keep in mind that X-WING is going to be moving right along just fine for years to come.

NICE!

I am 90% certain that the second EPT reads like this

Light Refit

small ships only

Whenever you reveal a white or green maneouver, after you place your ship you may rotate it 180 degrees and take 1 damage card and then take 1 stress token AFTER your move has resolved. [or whatever wording would mean you couldn't move on a green and then lose the stress immiediately]

It's actually a really nice idea, as it means S-Loops for everyone, but you got to pay a toll. It's probably best on cards with high Hull scores, like Virago or this, but I could see it working on a Y-Wing or an X-Wing as well.

Hell, this would synergise really interestingly with Porkins and R5-D8.

On paper it looks no better than the humble X-wing, maybe even worse. I'd rather have Astromech than Illicit right now. I do not like the fact that scum has a PS 9 pilot now. I liked how they were a faction of dirty tricks rather than piloting ability. If the dial is better than the X-wing it might be alright. Now it just looks like an X-wing clone and we all know how much the X-wing is used currently.

Crack Shot appears to say:

When attacking.....

Your firing (arc?)...

discard this (card?)...

1 of the defenders....

Lighting Reflex sounds more likely for a talent rather than a modifiction

The 180' turn - if that's it - will be interesting.

The more I see pictures of it....the more of them I want.

I started at 2....i'm now at 3.

I think the plus 2 attack at range one, and plus 2 defense at range three are very nice, with pilot skill 9 on top too.

I am all in with EPIC Play so these little extra goodies are great IMO.

;)

Maybe its "Crack Pipe"? The artwork shows something in his mouth.

"receive a faceup damage card to remove all stress and add 1 focus token. if that card says Pilot, resolve its effect otherwise discard it"

hmm??

Looks right.

Second Ept is Lightning reflexes, not light refit, as it id Ept, not modification

But the Scum X-wing should have been the Dunelizard or the Vaksai. I'd have bought at least 4 Vaksais.

Agree. Me too. I love the Vaksai and i hope to see it in next waves.

It was in the art back in the day... so it might just show up in Wave 8!

;)

Yeah that sounds better.

But honestly I think I'm right about the rest of it. There's not much else it could be really. It really comes down to how much it costs. Stay on Target only clocked in at 2pts, and that just causes you to make a red maneouver, this one throws in damage cards as well.

I really like the look of it, but it's kind of....bad.

Unless it is either a) quite cheap or b) has a very good dial, it is currently slightly less good than an X-Wing, a ship that is already fairly mediocre at best.

I'll likely get one regardless, but have to say it's the weakest ship of the wave for me, even though it's the best looking!

Without knowing the dial, it's difficult to see if it equals or surpasses the X-wing.

But simply by the looks of it, it is a beautiful ship, and several of them will definitely make it to my collection. I'll gladly take those that nightshriek doesn't want.
