Apologies if someone has already mentioned this, i've had a busy day gaming so not skimmed most threads today.

But...

We're all looking at slam, extra munitions etc and seeing wave 7 as a fix to the ordance issue (well a fix for some) but are we perhaps not yet being shown something that may help out the humble xwing

I only mention this as the Kirhaz (sp) fighter is an odd addition otherwise.

Its an xwing type role ship for scum. Part of me thinks there may be an unspoiled (or spoiled and i've missed it) card that really benefits this ship and will also be usuable by the xwing to up its 'points efficiency'

Perhaps wishful thinking on my part after my mate and I just had a really really fun game using 'useless' (if you go by the meta) ships like the Tie Advanced, Xwing with no mech, Tie bombers etc and lots of 'useless' ordance.

Might not have been super competetive lists but they were bloody good fun to play.

Unfortunately, the only new cards that could even be equipped on an X-wing are the Crack**** (Crack shot?) EPT and the plasma torpedoes. The EPT would only help the named pilots, and they don't really need a fix. That leaves plasma torps, which the B-wing can also equip, with an extra munitions upgrade, so that leaves the X-wing in the dust.

Currently, there is virtually no reason to take a generic X-wing, when for 1 more point you can take a B-wing. In order to change that you have to give a reason to take an X over a B, which is no small task.

Well, the kihraxz only comes with 5 upgrades. We know 3 of them fully. Homing missiles and predator are old news, nothing for it there. Glitterstim is scum only, so no x-wing love. That leaves lightning reflexes and crackshot (probable names)

Lightning reflexes can also be seen to be scum only and looks like

After you (reveal a white)

Or Green (maneuver on your)

Dial, you (may discard this)

Card to (rotate your ship)

180*. Then (gain a stress)

Token after (the check pilot)

stress (step)

Crack shot is less visible, but looks like you are discarding it to do something to the defender when you attack a target in your firing arc.

TLDR: there is only 1 card in the set that could be taken with an x-wing, and it is a one use item that probably isn't that amazing.

There's a second EPT included with the Kirhahzasdhca. From the title, it looks like it reads "Lightning Reflex", and has something to do with doing a 180-degree turn. There's italicized text that makes it look like it's Small Ship Only. Possibly a way for small ships to execute an on-demand K-turn once per game?

Yeah, ok, it might be small ship only instead of scum only.

I've got an almost completely unsubstantiated feeling that Plasma Torpedoes and Advanced Homing Missiles will be cheapish utility ordnance that will be good on single slot torpedo and missile carriers. We have those right now in the form of Flechettes and Ion Pulse Missiles, but they're control weapons, not damage weapons. Advanced Homing Missiles, for 3 points, puts 3 dice into the Range 2 band only. That suggests it's got some cool ability that might make it different enough from a normal attack (ignoring green dice has been suggested) to be good.

if there is an X-wing fix included, it would not have slipped us by. It would just be unspoiled

We'll have to wait for further spoilers or the actual release to prune over the included upgrades (which I am very much looking forward to doing)

Maybe when the T-70 comes out there will be lots of crossover cards for the X-Wing. That's my guess.

When I saw extra munitions my first thought was "so there's no x wing fix yet." I don't think its in wave seven, maybe there's an aces type pack in the works? We'll see what happens

A fix may not come for awhile unless its like a new astromech that works great for PS 1-5 or something. X-wings did have their Rebel Aces pack already and it could be until Episode 7 wave ships that some kind of Xwing fix would be in.

I'm sure FFG is waiting for the release of the EpVII ships (wave 8?) to fix the X-wing.
