Another Fat Turret for Rebels! I'm so excited for Wave 8 anyway!

By JJFDVORAK, in X-Wing

The Ghost! With a little Phantom! So cool! Hopefully it will be well balanced!

I heard it has autowin drive. Newest state of the art FAT drive.

:P

Looks like a good wave to me. Hope the bounty hunters are as awesome ask Bosk and the Hounds Tooth are!

Actually, if you place it on the play mat, you get an automatic match win, and a bye for the next round. Automatically.

</chicken little>

I've always thought if they added Ghost it would have to be significantly more expensive than the Falcon. Otherwise it seems like it would be challenging to make them all that different.

So any bets on Hera's cost? Han is 46!

Anyone else wonder how broken the Ghost is going to be

i have no idea how theyre going to make this ship different....

Forward arc with turret upgrade slot

I already answered how "broken" it is in post #3. Auto win. And a next round bye.

Hopefully not at all.

Might have a rear aux arc as well. Doesn't it have a rear gun in the show?

If it's broken, take it back to the store for a new one, or use FFG customer support.

Is it front and back arc not turret? Would work for me. Love my Firesprays.

Actually, it could be stationary front and rear guns, and not a turret for front and back arc.

In the show the Ghost has a forward gun that I believe fires around 180. Theres a turret on top and the Phantom acts as a rear gun.

FFG's packaging seems solid to me. But if it isn't, you know you can ask for a replacement, right?

So it could potentially have a rear arc, but only when the Phantom is docked, interesting. I'm with Ayleron though, I think it's going to be a forward arc with a turret upgrade.

I like the idea of a Turret upgrade instead of a PWT. Either way it is going to be epic!

This. It utterly boggles my mind how people think it'll be anything but turret-standard. It's just way too well armed.

No way in hell it can take munitions though. Systems, and at least three crew? Oh yeah totally, perhaps even a cannon slot.

This bugger's gonna' be one fat stacked ship.

I hope it has FCS!!!!!

If I recall from the show, it has a nose gun (manned by a crew member; usually Sabine), a tail gun (in the form of the Ghost), and a dorsal turret. It's almost like they took a B-17 and turned it into a space ship.

They essentially did, yeah.

That's pretty much exactly what they did.

Sadly B17s don't solo entire enemy squadrons with their fat armor and plot armor. I mean seriously. I bet even like 5 ties arent going to be enough for this one.

the Ghost is going to be a 4-dice PWT that can cloak and drop nukes on people

Well, keep in mind the entirely different rules are in place as the VCX-100 is no Bomber, just a fat freakin' freighter that's been ultra-heavily modified into something far, far greater.

I'm expecting around 10 shields.
