So wave 8 will have some cool ships and a guidance computer mod which will allow all missiles and torpedoes that score a focus converted to hits. So they will finally fix ordnance. But what about the X-wing? Can we get an aces pack or something to fix it. Everyone knows it weak now, and has been since the Bwing came out. Why has Ffg done nothing to fix it?

There are some unannouced SKUs between Wave 8 and Wave 7, and FFG said there's some stuff "on the water" they can't talk about.

While I didn't expect it, Episode 7 X-wing pack is the only thing I can really think of that fits.

I expect to see an Episode VII X-wing pack with some "X-Wing only" stuff that can be used on either the New model or the GCW model respectively. On the other hand perhaps an Aces pack with both old and new models? Now that would be freakin' cool.

Yep. I'm not sure whether I hope it's the same ol' X-wing with a new sculpt (and a balance title to sort things out) or a Kithraxz-style Xwing-but-not-quite move bar, making the T-65 and T-70 subtly different... but still rockin' the same upgrade title and niche.

The latter would be ideal for those poor shmucks (aka most of us) that have 4-5 X-wings already, but could also be considered overcomplicating things, so... we'll see.

September 4th we'll see it. Earlier if there are leaks. It's too bad FFG isn't as leaky as big box retailers. We'll probably see their 9/4 leaks in 2 weeks.

I hope so. I have 12 xwings. I only really use 3 cards. Biggs, wedge, sometimes wes

The way I see it is they've had more loving than other ships.

There was am xwing included with the transport with new pilots and upgrades that imo can still be competitive.

I've been doing awesome as of late with Tarn and r 7, even against some of the wave 7 stuff.

Imo there are other things that needed to be addressed like having the Gozanti, and getting imperial epic play more up to speed

I'm happy to see the imperial equivalent Gozanti and ties being released.

How about we stop with all the "poor xwing" threads. There is more than one ship in this game.

It already got more lovin than other ships

And from what I've seen still sees competitive play a hell of a lot more than other ships.

In some cases in top spots (Tarn with 6bandits), and played against Han and Luke AR final table in store championship, and he was tough

Wes, Luke,biggs,wedge are still pretty awesome pilots with some decent tricks

Biggs for example may become a great way to protect important ships from all the new ordnance stuff that is coming out

So I hope it's awhile till we see xwing get more upgrades and pilots

The tie advanced, bombers, ordnance in general, and epic play needed some extra special treatment

The xwing will get an update eventually as all ships at some point need in order to keep up with the times

an X-what??? There's a ship called an X-wing?!?

Oh, that's cool I thought it was just the tittle. You know like how Warhammer doesn't have a warhammer, and the Jaxs are not called Warmachines.

The original Citadel Miniatures box art from back in the early 80's featured a guy wielding a Warhammer

The Zs could use some generic pilots that can take an EPT. While I generally agree with Krynn007 about Xs being competitive their short comings require a more experienced pilot against arc dodgers and other nimble craft. I won't go as far as to say they need fixed but a small tweak wouldn't hurt.

I would be extremely surprised if those 3 secret SKUs aren't Force Awakens ships, with an X-wing fix included. FFG is aware of the X-wing weak showing at tournaments, and the developers do want to see the movie ships represented at the table and believe the X-wing needs a little boost to make it more viable competitively. New movie ships seems like the obvious way to package it.

the X-wing fix is in wave 7

the fixed x-wing is the Special K

Idk but I think people are over reacting and calm down a little.

The xwing will eventually get some new pilots, upgrades and etc.

It's not horrible at the moment by any means.

As i said having a xwing in a squad can still do wonders.

Bombers, ordnance and the advanced was needing much more attention than the xwing

This is Ffg game, they seem to know what needs the most attention

I'm just extremely happy to see more epic ships.

The rebels got the transport which came with a new xwing, so why not do the same for imperials, and you know they'll do the same for scum

If you have 12 xwing may I suggest epic play, or bigger games other than 100 pts, and/or do some scenerio.

If you don't want to do that, trade or sell is an option.
