Is anyone here still interested in Wave 7?

By gundamv, in X-Wing

I've never really wanted any of the ships from Wave 7 other than maybe the Khiraxz. I've been plenty excited about the upgrades in thr wave but I don't really like any of the shils. I'll probably buy multiples of the Punisher and K-Wing but I'm not sure I'll even bother putting together the dials or taking the ship out of the box. I'll probably get a pair of Khiraxz's and maybe a Hound's Tooth. I'm all in on the Raider and can't wait for it. I'm pumped about the Advanced fix but I'm also interested in giving Epic a try now that I am able to field a huge ship as Imperials.

Wave 8 has me excited for the Mist Hunter, I hope it's a decent ship. Zuckuss is probably my favorite ESB bounty hunter. I'm also excited for the TIE V1 and the Gozanti.

The Punishing One and the Ghost could be cool but I'm not sure that either of them is something I'd ever put on the table.

I'm still eager for Wave 7. But I nearly dropped a couple hundred on a Gozanti from Mel. That's a whole different thing.

Yeah I am done with even thinking about getting shapeways stuff. FFG has shown us time and again they are for real and just about anything cool will be coming out in time. Today's previews are some of the best work they have done to date.

:)

The thing about Wave 7 is that it was always more interesting than exciting. I want to see what impact the bombs and Deathrain have on the meta. I don't especially want to fly any of the ships aside from the K-Wing and maybe one of the Krrzrzrz Aces, though. Likewise, I don't especially want to use bombs. In comparison, I'm eager to fly three of the four Wave 8 ships.

Phantom is awful

I don't know that I'd say that until I saw the dial, the cost, and the pilot abilities. It's a 3 attack Z-95 that can take a systems slot, a crew, and a turret upgrade. It could end up being decent in lists even without the Ghost.

I meant it in the sense that the ship itself is so ugly I wouldn't take it even if it was the King Hell God Emperor Starfighter of Death.

I couldn't agree more - the Phantom is a terrible design.

I'd have to say, though ... the FFG model looks... ok ... much better than I expected.

I'll hold judgement until I see a close shot, but I think they may have just saved this one too.

Anybody skipping out on Deathrain is not gonna have a fun time. Yes very much excited about wave 7, that wave 8 is awesome too just cements my belief in that I will be playing X-wing for a long time to come.

I think I'll never take it and just glue the model into its slot on the Ghost

I am more interested in wave 7 than wave 8, only thing of interest is dengar to me I won't be buying the rebels stuff.

I'm interested in both! Man, this game just got so exciting!

Wave 7 is right up my alley. I'm digging the new bombs, the TIE Mk II upgrade for my TIE defenders, and especially Extra Munitions so I can make bombs and ordnance really sing. I mean, once they announced this card there was no going back. It's such a cost saver, and I can't wait to throw some bombers down to go take out some Rebel Large and Huge ships! ...I guess that means I'm really only interested in the TIE Punisher, but boy am I excited for that ship! I'll be picking up two, and then probably a K-wing for good measure (and for its Conner Net).

Still looking forward to building lists with Deathrain, still looking forward to the walrus (YV-666) and the Khirax. Wave 8 has more of my attention, but some of that is because I already went over nearly ever upgrade in wave seven and came up with uses for it. Wave seven isn't as shiny and new to me as wave eight is.

I have my red line list ready to go and I'm looking forward to trying it out.

Yes. Why? Do you have some to sell?

I'll take a Hound's Tooth and three Kirahxz, please.

Hound's Tooth is THE ship I wanted when I first got into X-Wing, so that alone has me all giddy for Wave 7. Can't say I'm huge on the other three, though the Khiraxz seems pretty fun and I have nothing against the two Heavy Bombers (though they'll mostly serve to help pump up my TIE Bombers!).

Wave 8... Ghost and Inquisitor TIE both look to be incredibly fun additions to the game. Jumpmaster FIVE THOUSAND (Most. 90s name. Ever.) and the Mist Hunter... well, bring the nifty Bounty Hunters, but neither of them particularly strike my personal fancy. Good to see the rest of the big BHs get in with their personal ships, but Wave 7 is already bringing the one I really wanted my hands on.

All in all, I'm excited for: YV-666, Khiraxz, Inquisitor TIE, Ghost/Phantom, extra munitions, and all the new munitions that go with em'. Everything else I'm mostly ambivalent towards at the moment.

Wave 7: Want K-wing (is awesome) and punisher (upgrades and ohh fcs)

Wave 8: Want scum ships. no to the rest. They look cool.

Wave 7 has enough to tide me over until wave 8.

More excited for Wave 7 then 8.

8 will still be good, but 7 definitely has my interest more.

I don't think there is a slot. From the pictures of the model in the case it looks like the ghost has the phantom already modeled attached, as well as a separate model.

Let me be 100% clear: I will buy 4 Khazicstan Fighters. 2 Hound's Toothses (yes, I hated typing "Toothses"), 3 TIE Punners, and 4 K-Wings.

Because that's how I buy ships.

Also: I've been wanting to hit "like" on a number of posts this thread, but I've hit my like limit for the day. Just like last GenCon.

Why not type teeth then?

I will likely buy three Kardashian Fighters and a Hound's Tuf. Because Glitterstim; must haz Glitterstim. And Crackshot. And Lightning Reflexes. And you simply can't have too many copies of Predator (especially when someone nicks one of your copies during a tournament).

Not bothered with the Punisher or k-Wing; neither of those two ships arer my bag, baby. No matter how much I'd like Conner Nets and Cluster Mines for Emon.

Wave 8, the Mist Hunter and Punishing One will both see a purchase, and the Gozanti at least one.

I'm not as into either wave as I was some of the earlier things,but I still think Bossk will be fun and I'm really interested in messing around with the Deathrain Deathtrain.

I'm more exited for Wave 7 than for Wave 8, as I am more a fan of the OT and the EU. I definatly WANT the K-Wing ^^

And I don't think wave 7 was the last wave of EU ships. There are so many ships out there lime the Skipray and the Assault Gunboatit would be a shame not to bring them into the game.

Even a friend of mine who is a big fan of Rebels and isn't much into the EU, says the Rebels Ships won't fit vers well into X-Wing.

I am very excited for wave 7. I've made loads of lists to try with the stuff. I am mainly excited for the scum though. I love the Khiraxz and the YV, can't wait to use them.

Because I am buying 2 of the ships named "Hound's Tooth*". In math, I'm buying (Hound's Tooth)*2 = Hound's Toothses. You are suggesting Hound's (Tooth)*2 = Hound's Teeth.

*No, auto correct, not "Toothsies". Gods. I'm not 7. I just play with plastic space toys.

Maths in maths!
