Aces Wishlist

By GrimmyV, in X-Wing

Here are my takes on some fun Aces packs that will probably never be made.

Rebel Aces II (Rebel Assault or Heroes of Yavin)

Kayan Farlander in Y-wing with a new skill. Pops and Tiree with EPTs in their Ys.

John D, Rookie one, anyone else we forgot in x-wings.

Maybe some x-wing titles (free) that give one extra hull and barrel roll. There it's fixed.

Maybe price it as 25 bucks because we already have lots of these ships as it is. Better be some real good paint jobs on em. Lots of missions inspired by the events of episode 4.

Imperial Aces II (Imperial Pursuit or Heroes of Hoth)

2 Blue TIE fighters and maybe a retool of the bomber as he TIE Shuttle

More TIE Fighter Pilots, maybe with an emphasis on arc dodging.

Titles for the variant Fighters including /gt bomb and missile carrier, /rc recon, /fc fire control, and straight up /ln line fighter.

Rules that allow variant models like Bomber/TIE shuttle to use same cards (maybe even Boarding Craft rules)

Lots of missions inspired by events from episode 5.

Rebel Aces III (Renegades and Rogues)

HWK and two Zs? Maybe two different paint schemes for the Zs, which is what they should have done for the MW box.

More pilots for the ships in the box of course.

Commander Nera from Renegade Flight (extra x-wing pilot)

Rogue Leader unique title (gives pilots skill to another ship within 1-2 range, could be any pilot.

Missions, maybe even a mini campaign booklet where players can carry over their ships pilots between missions and have them gain experience and level up with free upgrades.

Imperial Aces III (Defenders of the Empire)

Maybe a gray/color Defender and variant TIE Advanced like the Avenger or V1 with title to give an advanced three attack and a system slot. Oh wait they did that already.

More Defender Pilots like Stele and Vader with different abilities than the previous ships. Inquisitor for the Advanced. Rules about using variant models with certain cards, hopefully to coincide with the use of the T-70 X-wings with the old cards and tokens (lets the Avenger model be used as an advanced, so Meerek Stele can finally fly the right ship). New tracking device missile (unique) that lets all friendly ships get TLs on the target ship for free, or use the tracking Device token as a TL that stays after being spent.

Missions/campaign as above

Scum aces (Wretched Hive)

Starviper in Virago colors, 2 scyks in differnt schemes

Boba Fett, Guri, Xixor, and others as crew upgrades.

Captured Bounty crew upgrade that causes enemies to attack that ship at one less (or two less) attack dice.

Mod (free, call it Super a Heavy) that allows Scyk to take a second heavy title with different upgrade slot, for free.

Cards for scum YT-1300 and YT-2400.

Campaign missions and rules like the other aces boxes.

I would be surprised if any of these ideas ever makes it into a box, but you never know.

Anyone else got any Aces expansion ideas? Or are we just gonna get the Huge ship with small base recolors from now on?

Ace Azameen (YT-2000)

Marek Steele in Assault Gunboat

I still want to see an Aces pack with a Tie Defender and a Tie Bomber.

Maybe some x-wing titles (free) that give one extra hull and barrel roll. There it's fixed.

I like the idea of a free Evade token when you get or spend a target lock, instead. Has a better synergy with the rest of the Xwing'ss potential kit- Tarn, for instance, or Hobbie, or Luke, or R7T1, or R5K6, or the various regen droids that heal you up if you can live long enough. Or Torpedos...

No need for a barrel roll if you can get 2 evade tokens per turn and have a regen droid.

Corran Horn in an X-wing.

For that matter -- Soontir Fel in an X-wing, and Wedge Antilles in a TIE Interceptor or TIE Defender.

I don't want any pilot we already have in a new ship. Their reason for not doing it is really solid.

A defender/bomber pack and an X wing pack would be most welcome.

Olin Garn, for either scum or rebel and I second Ace Az

I'd really like to NOT see pilots in other ships.

Pash Cracken in an A-wing, but that's because I want more A-wing stuff.

Ooryl Qrygg in an X-wing (or an E-wing to buddy with Corran Horn)

Gavin Darklighter in an X-wing (so he be there for Biggs)

Y-wing pilots with EPTs

I'd happily go for a Tie Bomber / Y-wing Aces pack or Bomber / Defender aces and Y-wing / E-wing aces.

Ace Azameen (YT-2000)

Marek Steele in Assault Gunboat

:)

I still want to see an Aces pack with a Tie Defender and a Tie Bomber.

Yup... and sneak in dat Yavin Pack with Turbo Laser Batteries.

:D

I think a Rogue Squadron X Wing aces pack is a given. Frankly I can't believe we got a K Wing, Starviper and Kirhaxz before we got Rogue Squadron.

Dorovio Bold in a 4-ship "Battle of Endor" pack.

I know that the A-wing doesn't need or deserve an Aces pack at this time, but all the same I like A-wings and want more stuff for them. So in addition to Pash Cracken, even more pilots:



Sila Kott - Green Sqdn. Pilot, shot down by Tie Interceptors at the battle of Endor.


Zal Artha - A-wing prototype pilot, one of two who survived an ambush that resulted in the first combat using A-wings (legends material, maybe invalidated by Rebels?). Would be interesting as a PS 2 or 3 pilot with an ability that actually benefits a low PS. Thought perhaps after you remove an evade token from your ship, you may assign a focus token to it.


Adon Fox - Leader of Blade Squadron, flew an A-wing while the squadron consisted of B-wings, what pilot ability you'd give to an A-wing that has synergy with B-wings I don't know.


Linna - Pilot in Crackens wing mentioned in "The Bacta War", Ace squadron I think, no other name given so maybe Lieutenant Linna. Thinks going fast solves everything which suggests a pilot ability built around boost.



Assuming Ace Squadron was part of Crackens wing, Title: "Ace Squadron pilot", limited to skill 4 and up so only named pilots can take it, otherwise, why call it Ace Squadron.


Cardoonie Refit - because A-wings were manufactured in Chardaan and Cardoonie shipyards and we've got a Chardaan refit.



Okay, so I might have spent a little bit of time recently looking up A-wing pilots and stuff because I was thinking about rolling my own pilots for casual games. One of my regular opponents is mildly amenable to custom pilots so it's not a completely futile exercise.


Corran Horn in an X-wing.

Pash Cracken in an A-wing...

Ooryl Qrygg in an X-wing (or an E-wing)...

Gavin Darklighter in an X-wing...

These. Yes, please!

For that matter -- Soontir Fel in an X-wing, and Wedge Antilles in a TIE Interceptor or TIE Defender.

I don't want any pilot we already have in a new ship. Their reason for not doing it is really solid.

If Corran's E-wing and ability was Luke Skywalker instead(which it apparently was in the design phase) it would mean you couldn't fly him with Luke Skywalker as an X-wing pilot. It just needlessly introduces list restriction.

Would I love Corran in an X-Wing? Absolutely. He's my favorite character in and out of this game. But if they gave him an awesome ability I would never be able to pair it with my favorite ship. Whatever that new ability is I wouldn't want his name on it.

Rogue squad is a must. We all know they're waiting on the new movies at this point. The cross promotional opportunity is way to much to ignore, and frankly, I'm ok with that.

Yeah, I bet it's marketing - bring X-wings back as Aces once everyone's forgotten about them in the game, and sees them in the movies.

Maybe a T-70 refit or title?

Aaaaand I wanna have even moar Tie Fighter pilots. Just because.

Multi-craft pilots!

Keyan Farlander . PS 7. Same ability as in his B-Wing.

Ship: * At: * Ag: * Hu: * Sh: *

Upgrades: (elite pilot talent)

Cost: +7

Choose any ship's lowest costed pilot card, Rebel small ship only, and place it next to Keyan's card. Keyan's ship, stats, and action bar matches those of that card. Add that card's upgrade bar and cost to Keyan's.

Maarek Stele . PS 7. Same ability as in his TIE Advanced.

Ship: * At: * Ag: * Hu: * Sh: *

Upgrades: (elite pilot talent)
Cost: +6
Choose any ship's lowest costed pilot card, Imperial small ship only, and place it next to Maarek's card. Maarek's ship, stats, and action bar matches those of that card. Add that card's upgrade bar and cost to Maarek's.

Corran Horn in an X-wing.

For that matter -- Soontir Fel in an X-wing, and Wedge Antilles in a TIE Interceptor or TIE Defender.

Just release the Hawk Bats expansion all ready. New title for the CR90 the Night Caller. A Tie/In and a Tie with these Pilots.

Mainly I want Lieutenant Ketch. There should be x-wing tiles in there as well so the Wraiths can fly for Scum or the Rebels. Whatever the Mission calls for.

Maarek Stele in a Tie Fighter. Just because he started his career in one (ok just like so MANY aces)

But since Calculation is here It wouldn't be that bad to have a 17+1 points Maarek Stele Tie Fighter pilot

Yeah, I just love the humble Tie Fighter.

This is the reason why 2.0 needs a campaign mode with the ability to move pilots to different ships. So the game can be completely broken ;) but it would be so much fun.

Our home campaign rules let you move pilots to different ships.

We've had no problem with it so far but then again in our campaign unique characters are very limited.

It is fun though, my buddy simon (urban cannibal on here) has a captured Tie Advanced in his rebel fleet and has made up cards for it.

At the moment i've got a surplus of ships and not enough pilots as I've managed to recover some ships but too many pilots have died in the post battle 'salvage and recovery' phase.

Mara Jade in a Z-95

R2D2 pilotting an X-Wing

Leia piloting the Falcon

I know it's been said before. But I would really like a couple more pilots for the ship's with only 2 unique pilots. Maybe even a rebel y wing pilot with an EPT (gasp).

Some tie advanced pilots, tie bomber ones....

Y wing, e wing, z 95.

Starviper, scyk. .....

We already have enough x wing pilots... Maybe a title or 2 would b great. Nothing more needed.
