I'd be amazed if we don't see a Poe Dameron black/orange repaint.
If its not in an aces pack i'd expect to see it in a '2nd version' falcon box to give an incentive to rebuy they falcon.
I can see that - Falcon and T70 repaint in one box.
Why are more people liking my post than the one I'm agreeing with? You guys are weird!
@weird: welcome to the wonderful world of x-wing addicts enthusiasts 
Shouldn't we get a Scum Aces pack first?
Honestly I hate the ewing, and don't care much about a fix for that.
I hate the E-Wing as well, its a stupid looking ship (how do you even get into the **** thing with that ridiculous cannon over that canopy). That being said, I do own one because I have to have at least one of everything, and I'd like it to be more useful outside of just Corran.
Of course my favorite Star Wars fighter is the Tie Defender, which is in desperate need of a boost, and if I see an E-Wing fix before a Defender fix I will be quite disappointed. At least the E-Wing sees action.

I think the Black Sq. X-wing will be a seperate expansion, guessing the ship has other capabilities & rules with a different stat line... announced AFTER the movie comes out. I would bet a custom painted Glitterstim token on it.

Well, you say that, but what if the fix came with an alt-sculpt?
I'd like an ice cream aces pack....mmmm. Cinnamon...
I'd like to see this lady at some point =)
That would be Shara Bey, which I mentioned.

It was called Most Wanted.
TBH I would love to see something done for Firesprays. Not that its a bad ship, but like some others, its lacking in pilots. 2 of the pilots overlap Scum/Imp, leaving only 1 unique for each faction, and then for some reason, the scum generic is 2 points more than the Imp one. But at least Boba and Kath have different abilities between factions, even if some of them are turribul
I'd like to see a starviper repaint. the red 'black sun' design on the card art is much nicer than those wierd 'spray paint' black patches on the stock model
Is there an EU reason why the starviper model has big black scribbly paint marks on three out of four wings?
Not EU, but just the whole 'lived-in' Star Wars universe thing. The SV seems like quite the advanced ship and would probably be the one Scum ship that you'd least expect to have worn paint though.
I don't mind it.
Rebel pilots I'd like to see:
Pretty much anyone from Wraith Squadron, especially Voort Sabinring (the Gamorrean) :-)
Ace Azzameen (From X-wing: Alliance)
Theron Nett (Red 10 from ANH)
Davish Krail (Gold 5 from ANH)

If there was one ship in Scum that deserved to be full of crazy stunts and fancy-abilities-on-title-cards, it's the StarViper.
It instead got a whiter B-wing dial, and a poor mans E-wing statline with fewer upgrade slots unless you want to pay for it.
Given it has a title and modification already... I've no idea how it should be resolved, at this point. We've never seen them make a previous title obsolete, but you can hardly have the Virago be inferior, you know?

And yet, both Guri and Xizor are considered tourny worthy, if not in the same list... which is more than you can say for the Ewing (beside corran) and Defender (Beside vessey)
Shara Bey (Poe Dameron's mother) in an A-wing
Norra Wexley in a Y-wing
Both new characters in the Canon
Luke in a Y-wing with a crew slot (carrying C3PO), with R2D2 in the droid socket.
Also canon (Weapon of a Jedi).
Scum needs an aces also...

I disagree on the premise of that the scum needs aces, or at least that they shouldn't be PS9.
Per FFG talking about the design of S&V:
what they lack in military discipline and raw pilot skill they make up for with dirty tricks, highly illegal technology, unpredictable maneuvers, and some of the finest and wildest starships that money can buy.
Do the E-wing's and TIE defender's do that poorly and how? In the EU they are the pinnacle of starfighters for the alliance and empire.

I'll be very happy to miss a Scyk fix if it means never having that thing.

Does anybody take Slave One? I suppose even if they don't it's just cos they don't want it, not because the other title is so much better.

So Star Viper has two used pilots, E-Wing and Defender each have one. Not exactly in different boats.

It could have an alternate paint job Star Viper without the worn paint. And also a Star Viper only modification to make it more awesome (but at the expense of Auto Thrusters? Would make it a choice, certainly (unless it also let you equip a second one).
Edited by mazz0Looking at this, neither starviper pilot was at nationals. Corran was.
I wouldn't mind seeing named pilots flying other ships, like Luke mentioned above. How about a Hera Syndulla pilot card for the B-Wing (since she seems to be a test pilot for that ship in this season of Rebels)?
I wouldn't mind seeing alt-sculpts of ships, as well. Clone Wars-era Y-Wing and Z-95, for example. Avenger-style TIE Advanced. And so on.
I just want it to be the rogue squadron set.
Alternate sculpts isn't likely to happen, unless it is to be considered a whole new ship. It's a cost thing - doing a new sculpt costs money, why pay an artist to tweak something when you can pay them to do a new sculpt. Not to mention the costs of, once the sculpt is done, having the moulds made.
Now to Rogue squadron.. It is NOT likely to happen. 1) With the canon change rogue squad as we know it doesn't exactly exist. 2) the only canon instance is currently Rogue Group which was on Hoth. It was RED squadron that flew both Death Star missions.
3) With Rogue One coming out, the Rogue name may be re-used for something else. Now, we do have ships that are from the old legends fiction, but many are from relatively obscure (to the mainstream audience) and implementing a Rogue Squadron title for x-wings might confuse folks who didnt read the legends fiction, with whatever might come from the Rogue One film. FFG was, before the films, left to be a bit more loose with the property. Now that the Force Awakens is on the horizon, i expect much of the new products will be closer to canon than before.

Nobody said that the aces should be 9. But Scum & Villainy could use some more variability.
Esp as Y: Drea questionable if it is worth and not to situational to stress yourself for only 1 target lock, even with unhinged
Z: Kaato fitting for the S&V fluff, but questionable & situational as well (good for a missile strike, but the other ship can no longer modify)
Scyk: Laetin dies mostly before ability kicks in
Khiraxz: Graz' ability usable for pure jousting, but dies also very fast
