what are your wishes for the next expansion and the future of the game?

By zwara81, in Star Wars: Imperial Assault

Each expansion should include at least one non-human hero.

Neutral droid characters that can be used in any faction, why would GONK droids be faction specific?

An imperial officer character.

Scout troopers.

Most of all I hope we continue to get the movie characters, then FFG release an epic campaign book for each of the OT movies where you can use the movie characters as hero's.

I like how the experimental weapons mission has dark troopers in the artwork, I'd like to see them appear in the game.

A new main campaign and more grunt trooper. What I miss form Descent is the huge varaiety of critter to throw at the rebels in large number. In Star Wars we get a maximum of 3 troopers per card and they are so far the only three unit group. Also more heroes and items cards. Need more stuff to fill into the main campaign

btw. does Twin Shadows feature new items?

Yes. Although only a couple have been previewed so far.

I concur.

Where is this experimental weapons mission?

As for want I want to see. I'd like to see a campaign (or tiles) that take place in a metropolis like Coruscant or Corellia. And see Villians like Guri and Mara Jade appear along with Storm Commandos and Kubaz. Basically a spy/espionage themed expansion.

More Deployment Cards per figure.

Seriously, I don't get why the core set doesn't have 2 Elite Royal Guard Deployment Cards and 2 Regular Royal Guard Deployment Cards.

Or a Unique Imperial Officer Deployment Card. And 3 Regular Imperial Officer Deployment Cards. etc

etc..

I'd really love to see generic Astromech Droid Deployment Cards in the R2-D2-Pack. Preferably usable by all 3 Factions.

Generic Rebel Commando Troopers for Fenn / 3 for 6 Points or 2 for 4 Points

Yoda

Rebel Commanders

Scum Commanders

All Empire Strikes Back bounty hunters

Rancor!

I'd also love to see more of the lore that FF is bringing to Star Wars. This Pirate Queen looks interesting, possibly a campaign that includes her? (Could she be Sana Solo?)

I would love an official Solo/Full Coop expansion simply because right now I cannot play this game enough :P.

Would love more main/side missions and a more complex way of choosing main missions (this was proposed by someone else, can't remember who, I give this person credit for this idea :D ).

Also, I think it's more important to have heroes that are different from each other than having a lot of them.

I would love to see all the starting Rebel characters for campaign get a few new skill cards. Maybe like each one gets two different skills of varying experience levels. Add some new replayability into the Rebel characters and would create more choices when playing them through the campaign. Yeah, the amount of skills they have wouldn't be even with new expansion characters, but who cares as long as the choices were balanced. I think it would be awesome to get some new skills for the original heroes and have new ways to play them.

My wish is for some announcements at Gencon on a big box expansion and accompanying wave.

A new big box campaign focusing on the heroes and villains from Rebels would be amazing. As long as I can play as Chopper.

Though I expect this game to move forward along the timeline, not backwards. So once we get to ESB time period I'd love to get all of the Bounty Hunters, which I'm sure we will.

I'd love to see this too. Adding brand new heroes is cool and all, but it would also be nice to throw in some extra goodies for the original core game, just to spice it up again after a few playthroughs.

I hate to even suggest this because so far (as a campaign player) I have not been impressed with the price-for-value proposition of any of the small packs, but... FFG could totally get away with releasing small packs for each of the original core heroes (or maybe 2 at a time). Give them each 1 new skill at each price level (1,2,3,4) to add variety to their build options, plus an alternate hero mission (still only 1 per hero in the side mission deck, but you'd now have a choice of which of each hero's missions to include), corresponding reward card, and maybe a new piece of equipment at each price tier to complement that hero's strengths (possibly synergizing a bit with the new skill cards).

Bantha's and rebel smugglers.

Never gunna happen. :P :P :P

I was just pondering the future of this game.

They've clearly not come close to exhausting the OT. I can think of the following themes/units that could reasonably be included from the OT - at least:

- Leia

- Lando

- Han Solo - Rebel General

- Luke - Jedi

- Lando

- Bossk

- Rebel Commando

- Hoth/Cloud City/Endor

- Palpatine

Now that's quite a few waves/big box expansions. But the problem is, I'm sure they'll be looking to release ST trilogy stuff, reasonably in line with the movie releases. Which means they'll want to release any EP7 stuff next year.

How will they possibly release stuff on time?

On the other hand...The current release still capture our imagination and interest 40 years after the release of the OT, so maybe the ST related releases wont have to be 'in-line' with the movie releases in order to be successful

Don't forget the rest of the Bounty Hunters. I'm sure we'll see Dengar, Zuckuss, and 4LOM as well eventually.

I'm sure we'll see locals to new locations as well, so a Wampa seems likely, snowtroopers, hoth rebels, bespin guards, Willrow Hood, Scout Troopers, Wicket, Logray, Ewoks....

I'm so excited for the future of this game.

I'm looking forward to having a blinged out chrome-caped-crusader. Or Captain Phasma as I believe she is called.

Maybe the first version of Leia we get will be grandma Leia from the new films.

I'd also like to see Greedo, think that would be fun. And Jabba the Hut.

I read his comment and was like :D

Then you commented and I was like :(

What I really want to see is an all-Scum big box expansion. Instead of an Imperial player you'd have a Black Sun player, and the heroes would be from a "not as bad" crime syndicate, that perhaps ends up siding with the rebellion by the end of the campaign, but for skirmish purposes the heroes and the new units the BSP gets to play with all count as Scum. Two birds with one stone - it would flesh out the least-developed skirmish faction (it looks like after wave 3 Scum will finally have caught up to where Rebels were right out of the box :P ), while at the same time presenting a refreshingly different experience for campaign players.
