X-wing wave 7 in Armada

By EmpireErik, in Star Wars: Armada

Ok the K-wing and heavy bomber are here in x-wing so what do people predict their effect in Armada will be?

More bombers.

Sorry, couldn't resist.

They're almost certainly not coming before wave 4. Though they'll probably work their way into the game eventually. I wonder if FFG would ever add a strike craft with three battery dice? Or keep them at two and give them advantages beyond what the B-wing has.

The K Wing is ... ugly! Truly Ugly.

I'm betting we will see them, and possibly in a manner closer to the rogues and villains then the normal squadrons.

Also, the K-Wing is a pretty pretty princess of a ship, and I love it, and may actually switch sides to the Rebels once it hits Armada so coerced am I by its beauty. Nyah!

Back on topic, they'll be a cool place to explore a higher cost higher impact ship, much like the Rogues and Villains offered. We will likely see them in the second version of that offering. It'll be harder to distinguish them the same way in Armada tho, as really the only options are new keywords and "moar dice!" That is unless they add in upgrades for the tinier ships.

they would be out of scale.

I like it.

I wouldn't mind a "Punisher" squadron as the empire could use better anti-ship squadrons.

super bombers, essentially

going to need additional abilities to keep them from being redundant with the current offering of Ys and Ties, though
