There will be no more fixes for old ships. (T-70>T-65)

By Marinealver, in X-Wing

For all those proposing fixes for X-wings, TIE-Defenders and E-wings here is your fix.

too ofensive to show

That's right your T-65 just go and die with Porkins.

Still some might argue that replacing old models instead of buffing old models is sort of inevitable. Once Wave 8 comes out nearly every roll in the three factions will be filled. There isn't much room for modifying stats and keeping the point curve on par. Also since X-wing is a true living game it is going to have to put out new ships to continue to live. Once there is no more room for models with a different roll older under-powered models will just get replaced with better ones.

The power creep is real and unavoidable.

Man! Porkins is having a bad day... Just hypnotically watched him bite the dust repeatedly...

But I wanna fly Wedge in a T-70, is that too much to ask????

I'm not really sure if you are facetious or not here.

Interviews confirmed that content for older ships is still forthcoming

The new wave that just released has already breathed life into long dead ships like the advanced or HWK.

Why does everyone keep forgetting that Episode 8 won't be out for 2 years and we will likely only see a small number of additions to this game directly from Episode 7?

FFG will certainly continue to rehab ships that need an improvement via Aces packs so that they have plenty of product to sell.

The power creep is real and unavoidable.

You think wave 8 will be in two years? You can already pre order it. It will be out Q1 or early Q2 of next year before next regional season. FFG is printing money.

Clearly Marin hasn't been paying attention to what is coming out with the new stuff. If he had, he would be rather more excited at the prospect of a PS9 T-65 that can do 3 actions a turn without stress, is almost impossible to block, and even if it does get blocked still gets 2 actions and no stress.

willl be amazing if lower health ships come back, even more useless against fat pwts (same free points, only more of them)

Pele Droid Wedge will be exciting enough just to have around to fly (just so much fun having so many options :)), but it's not necessarily competitive material unless the meta swings hard against large high-hp ships that can easily outdice him (PWTs most easily, but also HLCs)

he's awesome, but too balanced (limited to greens) to overcome X-wing fragility

I'm pretty sure you are responding to me and if so you mixed up "Episode" with "Wave".

The Force Awakens is Episode 7. The next film due in December 2016 is Rogue 1 which will take place in the time period between Episodes 3 and 4. Episode 8 will be out in Dec 2017, two years from now.

BB-8 can be equipped to T-65's. Your argument is invalid.

Unless the X-wing fix is some sort of super-upgrade that gives them boost and/or an AT-like effect.

Oooh, the first pilot skill 11 card in the game *.*

This ^^

There's several Galactic Civil War movies planned still. It's not all Resistance and First Order now. If the Han Solo and/or Boba Fett movies go ahead, there's two more. There's loads of material yet to be done.

Nevermind the 'Rebels' TV series, which has already given us 3/4 of the ships so far spoiled for the next year, and is (by all indications) going to run for at least several more years.

And, yeah, "Rogue One" also set solidly in the middle of the Rebellion era (in fact, immediately before Episode IV, as it happens).

Yeah. 2016, Rogue One hits theaters. Like the T-65 ain't gonna see some love with that.

Oooh oooh oooh. Maybe they will have Defenders in Rogue One too!

Tie Fighters will be getting 3 new pilots at least in the Assault Carrier expansion. Maybe they'll toss in some upgrades or titles that work with the Wave 1 ships.

But you greedy X-wingers have enough Astromechs as it is.

Imperial pilots should get Pilot Suit upgrades since their ships generally lack life-support systems.
