Which preview will be out today?

By Mu0n729, in X-Wing

These are not the updates you're looking for...

I don't understand. FFG doesn't owe you anything. A chance to hear the developers talk about maneuver dials and a confirmation of the Sep 22 date for wave 9 is fine by me!

Well the Ghost in Rebels shows us they maglock shipping crates underneath the ship. I'm assuming that light freighters like these are responsible for quickly shipping small amounts of high-value cargo. Say like...I don't know, spice? :P

The Serenity in Firefly was about the same size and did all sorts of cargo shipping jobs.

The Falcon even has cargo holds!

Still makes no sense.

Why would the Correlian engineering corporation build, or anyone buy, a ship that had MASSIVELY reduced capacity compared to another, virtually identical, ship in its range?

Yes the falcon, and I'm sure many other YTs, were used for smuggling but why choose a ship that could only ship small amounts of high-value cargo when the 1300 could do this and much more.

It'd be like Ford producing a tractor that couldn't pull a trailer, calling it the Ford 'Drug Mule', and expecting it to sell cause you could still stick stuff above the cab.

Still makes no sense.

I always like to hear the Dev Team talk about our game. While nothing in this was earth shattering...really none of it should be if you've been with the game for more than a year or so.

FIRA BON!

Oh, wait, wrong game....I made myself sad.

See you next week.

Well, for one, a stock YT-2000 was heavily armed compared to a stock YT-1300. And it can carry slightly more than a YT-1300 can (115 tons vs 100 tons). I haven't seen ANY notion of the YT-series being designed as a freight pusher before the cross sections book that almost had an image of it.

For reference, 18 wheelers carry around 30-40 tons of cargo, cargo planes carry 30-250 tons of cargo, and Cargo Ships carry...15,000 tons or more per trip. Light Freighters like the YT-series are planes of the Star Wars universe, not the ships. That's why they're called "light".

Who's with me for hoping for a preview tomorrow?

I can't do this alone guys. It's too much to bear alone. We have to go at it as a team, and only then will we push the balance towards the realization of a preview.

My finger is on the release of the next vassal module. Blog post written in a draft, screenshots taken. I had to rework the whole dice window due to Finn. All possible die faces can be added as results and can now be switched to other faces manually, as well as rerolled. It was a nightmare to implement and debug. All I need is to add the few new cards we know are in the HotR preview #2 for T-70 X-Wings.

I have yet to try Vassal, but your commitment and work always impress me. Kudos to you good sir.

And my shield...

argh

Interesting. Wasn't that expansion for IA announced the same time Wave 10 was?

Would a possible x-wing announcement for the day have been published alreaddy or is there still hope?

Cue X-Wing article also titled "A Step Above Scum" revealing the missing SKU to be Scum Aces.

Half-Life 3 confirmed.

New Scum article. :D

Is Imperial Assault. :(

So, Monday then...?

I have to admit, though, I'm kinda excited about the Imperial Assault expansion... That's a really fun game... It's kinda sad though that Imperial Assault has Jabba before X-Wing does...

he is a hell of a lot more relevant in IA than in x-wing, though

True, but he would be a great example of someone who, like Palpatine, could give FFG an excuse to use the super-cool double crew slot card (although to make the movie, Jabba actually had three puppeteers inside of him)

I think the next thing in this game could be Jabba's barge (he has one that flies in space), a huge ship with some awesome scum crew cards (Jabba's entire entourage) and then the small ship with it could be a fix for the Scyk and come with some awesome new cannon cards.

Ugh card game
