Empire Players, What ships would you like to see in a Aces Pack?

By devotedknight, in X-Wing

I am changing my vote to GR-75 Transport Aces!

I stand by my OPINION that aces packs should be reserved for ships that operate as dogfighters IN THIS GAME, not ordnance delivery systems, space taxis, or converted space U-Hauls, no matter how stupid said opinion is. I don't care what the Wookiepedia police say. To be an Ace you have to fly a fighter ship, IN MY OPINION.

Assault Gunboat, just because, honestly, I'm shocked that nobody has said it already.

That is the stupidest thing in the history of stupidity. We are all more stupid for having read it. ;)

Can I just say that a slap-fight between two people whose handles both start with "Darth" and who have the same profile picture has the tendency to get more than a little confusing?

I mean, you can usually just assume they're teenagers trying to be edgy?

Aces packs are for ships already released. It gives new pilots, titles, upgrades and a miniatures with alternate painting scheme.

Assault Gunboat should come as a standard ship release.

Actually, another reason why a Bomber would be nice: An Aces pack has the spare room on the cardboard for more bombs and Extra Munitions tokens.

That would cheer up a lot of bomber pilots. :)

Hmm. Now I'm pondering new Bomber abilities:

PS 7, EPT: "When instructed to discard a [bomb], [torpedo] or [missile] card, roll an evade die. On [dodge], keep the card."

The eternal warrior! :D

PS 5, no EPT: "At the start of the Combat Phase, If you have no blue Target Lock tokens, you may gain a Target Lock against an enemy ship within range 1-3 within your firing arc."

The mid-PS ordnance-thrower. Probably has a point or two of surcharge, but gets something halfway between FCS, PTL, and Deadeye for his trouble. Good enough he won't even need an EPT.

YES!!! More bomb tokens!!

I want a Defender & Bomber aces pack, everything else seems to have plenty of solid pilot and upgrade options.

I would love to see a 'Maarek Stele', as a bomber Pilot card!!!!

I'll say it because no one has already. Let's have the next Imperial Aces box have TWO Defenders...one with a Bloodstripe and one painted Red. The curveball is it packs two titles:

Royal Guard Pilot

Title 1 Points

+2 PS and +1 Sensors Slot

Emperor's Secret Order

Title 2 points

+1 EPT and +1 Sensors Slot

Then use your imagination for the Maarek Stele pilot card. Search your feelings...you want this to happen.

I'd love to see a Maarek Stele as a Fighter, Bomber, Interceptor, Gunboat, Avenger, Defender and Missile Boat pilot card.

But Defender is the one I'd want to see most.

Holy crap, how is this the first time I've ever seen the Secret Order mentioned for this game. That would be an amazing theme for a title card.

Wtf is a Sensors slot?

System slot for people who only use AdvS.

It was the "X" that gave it away.

Defender and bomber

It was the "X" that gave it away.

I actually didn't add the X until way later when I tried to sign up for something(I think it was my XBox Live account) and DarthEnder was already taken. And DarthEnder2 seemed lame.

Eventually, I started using the X for everything.

I have to say that I'd kind of like a defender pilot that synergises with tractor beams somehow.

I wouldn't mind double defender, but I'd also like it to be a two pack after the rebel variant had two. Phantom could work, and would be the alright ship, though the bomber could use some love too. Though it seems with the Punisher being released that the poor tie bomber is being replaced.

I know I'd like the scum variant to have the yt-1300. And the Scyk, which could use a fixing.

Are you implying that the B-Wing is some sort of support ship and not a dedicated dogfighter?

It's a fighter-bomber.

Personally, I think the Defender is a shoo-in

Definitely. So it can come with two copies of:

Is know the ship in the PC game is OP, but this card is unbalanced.

If you are going to make the Defender OP in the X-Wing Miniatures Game, you should at least pay for it (add great squad cost).

I want a title card that lets the mid-range named TIE/Ln pilots take EPTs.

"Ace" version for the Tomax:

I want a title card that lets the mid-range named TIE/Ln pilots take EPTs.

They can?

Only PS8 Howlrunner, PS7 Mauler (and the upcoming Scourge) and PS4 BSP can take EPTs. I'd like for the PS5 and PS6 named pilots to be able to take some EPTs too.
