Ace Pack?

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

Is it a dream to think that there is going to be any Aces Pack that include the Tie Bomber?

With the Punisher just announced, probably.

Yeah I wouldn't get my hopes up at this point in time...but who knows for sure?

Anything is possible.

I was half expecting a Bomber Aces cross-faction pack in Wave 7.

Rebel B-Wing, Scum Y-Wing, Imperial TIE Bomber.

It didn't happen, but that doesn't mean something like it won't in the future.

Given that half of Wave 7 are bombers (K-Wing and TIE Punisher), I would have thought your half expectations have been fully met!

The only ace pack I would think would be coming would have an x-wing and a defender, and have rogue squadron and a defender fix.

It would include mareek in the defender, tycho, Gavin, ooryl in x- wings

Maybe have an e-wing fix in the box as well

I doubt we'll see cross faction aces packs. I'd like to see a Defender/Bomber aces pack. Have a bloodstripes defender (a la Starfighters of Adumar) and a Gamma squadron bomber with white stripes.

I'd like to see some more competitively priced named bomber pilots. Also have some more cards to help ordnance.

Defender could get some more named pilots and a generic with an EPT (which it probably should have had from the beginning given the lore).

Rebels need an X-wing/E-wing aces pack with some really nice astromechs in it to help out their generics.

Most likely a Scum and Villainy Aces pack after Wave 7, Then Wave 8 will have some more ships and a likely S&V Epic pack given the track records.

The only ace pack I would think would be coming would have an x-wing and a defender, and have rogue squadron and a defender fix.

I am not a fan of repeating pilots in multiple ships...but maarek should have been in a defender all along...

I would love to see a Bomber re-paint :wub:

I know ordnance and bombs receive soms bonusses and extra´s in the K-wing en TIE Punisher packs, but I wouldn´t mind to have the classic TIE/sa Bomber get some extra attention. With the two new super-bombers they might get the image of being redundant.

It probably will be a long wait for it to happen though. Might buy / ask for my birthday for a second one ^_^

My current wishlist: Most Wanted, Star Viper, Kirhaxz, TIE Bomber re-paint, X-wing repaint (in Corsec green of course!)

Is it a dream to think that there is going to be any Aces Pack that include the Tie Bomber?

I think it's pretty reasonable to expect the Bomber's pilot roster to be expanded at some point.

For the bomber it would have to be an Aces of Hoth pack with some new Tie and bomber pilots repainted models ...... And an Exogorth

I would love to see a Bomber re-paint :wub:

So repaint one. Send it to me and I'll do it for you. There really is no need for a new TIE Bomber pack. IMO :)

I wouldn't be surprised to see Imperial Aces 2, maybe featuring the Bomber and the Defender. New pilots for both, plus a different place to pick up copies of those much-wanted Cluster Bombs, Connor News & Twin Ion ******* upgrade cards.

Similarly, I'd hope for another Rebel Aces box set, with repainted X-Wings and Y-Wings, along with new pilot cards, astromechs, the BTL-A4 title, Bomb Loadout, the Dual Laser Turret and of course the new bombs.

For the Rebel forces at least, I think Aces packs are a better option over new ships. New Rebel small base ships are thin on the ground. I'd love to see an X-Wing miniature with closed s-foils released at some point too.

No, no! The Advanced needs to be in it! It's badly in need of a fix!

:lol:

Bomber and Defender Aces!

Defender gets the A-Wing treatment

Bomber gets crew slots (Tie Shuttle)

and a Tie Bomber special modification:

"Switch to Target"

After you declared a target to attack, you may spend a focus token to acquire a target lock on this target.

Then you are assigned a stress token.

... and the Tie Bombers would get their stuff away. To be fair, Y-Wings should also get access to this card:

Tie Bomber/Y-Wing only

I would prefer they keep doing Aces packs instead of constantly releasing new ships. I feel like they have enough ship variety already, just keep updating some of the existing ones. Also at some point they should just call it quits and spend more money on advertising. The amount of cash we throw at this to collect everything is substantial. You just need to hook new people.

Yeah! We need more Ace Packs more then we need more new ships.

I can't be the only one that doesn't like having mismatched paint schemes on their fighters? The blue/grey TIE thing bugs me enough, but having one grey TIE Advanced and one (blue?) Advanced is really going to bug me when my Raider arrives.

The solution is simple:

Buy four Raiders for four blue Tie Advanced.

I think we are likely to get a Rogue Squadron or X/Y-wing aces pack next, if we get one. Though, I would be down for a Rogue Squadron pack with an X and E wing.

No, Empire is next to be served :P

x-wing/y-wing tie-fighter/tie-defender aces!

Bomber and Defender Aces!

Defender gets the A-Wing treatment

Bomber gets crew slots (Tie Shuttle)

Tie Bomber/Y-Wing only

That's pretty good - to make it REALLY worthwhile I'd reword it to keep the focus - something like:

When you declare the target of your attack, if you have a focus token, you may receive 1 stress token to acquire a target lock on that ship.

Perhaps even "Perform a free target lock action" so elite pilots can chain PTL / EI on top.

Homing missiles, Advanced and standard Proton Torps, Prockets, Ion Pulse Missiles would all LOVE this.

Clusters, Ion Torps, and Assault Missiles get a slight boost too.

I don't see any reason why this should be restricted to Y-Wings and Bombers though

True ... as a modification for all ships this would fix the ordnance problem.

"Ordnance Guiding Computer"

modification

cost ...0 points?

The real cost would be: this thing uses your modification slot
