Does anyone think the b wings will eventually get an upgrade card on a ship that will bump there speed by one similar to what the imps have with the corruptor? It would make them so much more deadly and more worth the 14 points they cost. I love b wings and have been able to use them quite effectively by positioning them right at there low speed but I think I would definitely be willing to speed a few more points for make them even speed three
B wing speed upgrade
Nope. They are already EXTREMELY deadly used well...by a large margin the most dangerous anti-ship squadrons.
The slow speed is the balance point for that power.
That was kind of what I was thinking as well but wanted to see what others thought of it. I love when I can get three b wings with the yavaris lined up right. Three b wings with two attacks each is just like a shot from the front arc of a Vic one but much more taxing in the defense tokens and then you still have a shot or two from the yavaris to follow it up. It finished off a few star destroyers with a that combo
Maybe not B-wings or rebel bombers specifically, but I wouldnt be surprised if a card cones out at some point that increases squadron speed on activation that bwings could take advantage of at some point. Maybe not this wave, but there are definetely cards that look like they will do things to squadrons. I saw something in the here they come update that looks like it says wing commander or some such, although its anyones guess what it will do.
Edited by MadaghmireI agree they will keep adding rules and cards to make everything more powerful to keep players buying so they can compeat with the new stuff. Its a catch 22
What spoiler there is for the MC-80 Independence title suggests that activating squadrons with that ship will result in some alteration to their speed. No idea what that bonus will do precisely, what it will cost (either in points or in spent dice/activations/etc.), but it is the command ship from the mid-90s X-wing pc game, so a bonus that helps Keyan Farlander and his B-wings seems thematically apropos to me. I'm hopeful.
It's one of the titles that I'm most interested in, but it hasn't gotten much speculation so far on the forums.

I do often wonder how things would be if corruptor and Haven traded effects

Cheap imperial fighters with swarm + damage mitigation... ouch.
