Wave 8 or possibly 9 speculation: The Mag Pulse

By DariusAPB, in X-Wing

Alright, so i've come to realize no-one seems to have picked up on the weapons disabled tokens associated with SLAMS.

Those of us familiar with the x-wing series of games know of the Mag pulse warhead, a weapon that ignoring shields immediately disables weapons systems.

So, new control card. I suspect 3 dice on hit cancel all dice results and apply a weapons disabled token.

Who here doesn't think this is coming?

Now the token exists I expect to see it used more the way every other token has been. I semi-expect a Heavy Ion Cannon.

I can see the mag pulse as being nastier than any other weapon - especially in scenarios. Instantly kills SRS dead. Youcan't suicide run when you can't shoot.

Yes I expect this to be a thing as well as Heavy Ion Cannons.

SRS?

suicide run syndrome. in objective based games rushing the objective - ignoring all other considerations as raw DPS would kill the objective before the attacking force can be stopped. The existence of mag pulse would kill it.

DPS - Damage per second, an MMO turn. Really it would be more DPT damage per turn.
