My friend was kind enough to retrieve a YV and Kihraxz from GenCon for me, I flew three matches today and lost all three, but then I've never claimed to be much more than an ape pushing ships around a table.

I first flew Razzi, who can burn a target lock on an enemy ship when a friendly ship targets that ship, to reduce their agility by one. I HAD to try the Hound's Tooth title, and threw on weapons engineer, outlaw tech, and K-4, with Ion projector. I flew him with Talonbane (PTL and EU) and a hotshot Binayre. It was fun, but I flew Cobra badly and he died fast. His ability was WAY fun, though. Five dice at range one? Sure. Razzi's ability was nice, and between the crew it triggered fairly often. The times I had to pull a red two-turn or full stop, I usually still had a target lock or two and got the free focus from the Jawa. When the YV fell, deploying the Pup was fun as hell, but would definitely be of more use when there are still,other ships on the board... The Pup didn't fare well on its own. Also, I only got bumped once and the Ion Projector didn't trigger, so it may just be a variant of APL.

For the last two games, I switched to Evol with HLC and the same crew, but no title or ion projector. It was fun, and Evol's 180° of HLC was nuts. Finally succumbed to more maneuverable ships, with Cobra dying first again.

They are really fun ships, with a lot of potential. My three losses (the first two were close) were due largely to lack of fore-thought and experience on my part, and just wanting to try out all the shiny new toys, rather than the quality of the craft themselves.

Physically, the figures are beautiful and I can't wait to start some repaints, particularly some mods of additional Kihraxz fighters to represent the other chassis types.

I am contemplating running Evol with Ions, and two SCYKs (also with Ions, and at least one Wingman), as a fortress that pulls you off the edge of the world.

Call it "Gravity Well".

I don't think it'l be as effective as my normal fort, but looks interesting enough to try...

Correct me if i am wrong but the HLC normally should only fire in the standard arc while your primary weapon shoots the full 180!

Normally, yes.

Morolo Eval's pilot ability says otherwise.

Ain't it great when you know about this stuff...

Yeah just how could we know it. 2nd class people that don't receive their stuff until in another month or so...

Literally everything from Wave 7 has been spoiled since Gencon, you have only yourself to blame for not doing the research.

That ability was even in a news article.

I was at hand to witness the above (though I was playing my own games, and not really paying attention to stuffedskullcat's tactical misadventures. It's too bad that our dance cards didn't free up at the same time. I would have loved to have flown against his new toys (and destroyed them with my cluster missiles).

However, when he says he is going to engage in some repaints, that also makes me enthused. Stuffedskullcat's repaints are really an awesome sight to behold.

Ah I see, you thought you'd come here make a post to rub our noses in the fact you got your hands on wave 7 before most of us ... Mean.

But fair enough

Im so jealous

So what we still could get out stuff faster.

Tell'n ain't yell'n. Helpins ain't attackins.

It's to early in da-**** mornins for Dra-mat-a-cals... and such.

True dats!

Now I'm super jealous of all the Gen Con folks. I mean, I always was anyhow, but even moreso now.

You asked how we were supposed to know without us getting wave 7, and that's how we're supposed to know that stuff; it's already been spoiled.

I honestly don't think there is an issue here; there are no classes, lots of people went to GenCon, FFG had Wave 7 ships (many...they had many) and from what I am told they sold out each day of their allotment, so many pilots have their hands on advance copies.

My intent was to merely share my experience with the two ships (no K-wing or Punisher) my friend who did go to GenCon was able to acquire for me. It's moot to bring up classism in regards to who gets toy spaceships first; better topics (not for this forum) might include race and gender divides, etc.
