Speculation: Rebel Veterans

By Ghost XV15, in X-Wing

So it looks that we get Imperial and Rebel Veterans, before or even instead of Scum Aces. (they don't need that much fixing anyways)

So what do you speculate could be part of the Rebel Veterans release?
I would guess it could possibly be an X-Wing and an Y-Wing, however both recieved fixes (kinda...)

Other than that I see only the HWK that needs fixing, maybe they'll include the E-Wing, as it has sort of a simmilar status as the Tie-Defender, as being too pricey to be bought multiple times.

What do you guys think?

Ys don't need any help, though I would love to see the rest of Gold Squadron show up with EPTs.

And X and E with Corran finally at home in a Rogue X and some help with the generic Es. Repaint both black, cause black is cool.

Two attack shuttles, cause why not?

X/E calling it here and now.

X/E calling it here and now.

That seems the most likely. Plus it could have something in it, in fact likely will, that can help Y's since both the X and E can use astromechs.

I've heard of the "Rogue Squadron" Rumor (****, these things spread fast)
And I dig it, I want an opportunity to buy a 4th X-Wing, but I doubt it

They got recently an mediocre fix with the new Title and I doubt FFG will release another fix this soon.
I also doubt Ys hard, but I started with the originals that weren't in the Aces Boxes.

it could also be that they'll split it Cannon/Legends, would speak for X/E

Comepletly missed that, now I want that even more

Either X/Y, or X/E.

What new title? There's the Integrated Astromech, but that's a modification.

The simple fact is, that as long as this game is called X-Wing there is an issue when the namesake ship is so seldom seen in competitive play. Plus the dev's have said more then once they're still working on things to make it better.

The E-Wing especially the generics have been mentioned as well. So of all the rebel ships right now, those two are the ones in need of the most help.

I think X's and E's are likely, but the more interesting question is with Maarek Steele in a TIE Defender, will we finally see Tycho in an X-Wing? I think that now that the seal is broken, we'll start seeing a lot of 'recycled' pilots.

I personally would be more than fine with that. Imagine Luke in a E-Wing with his X-Wing ability...

Yeah, I meant that one, confused it (dammit)

Didn't catch that, okay, I'm on the Rogue Squadrons Veteran train....

X/E Veterans confirmed!

I'm really hoping to see some more Y-Wing pilots

X-wing Tycho won't have a 'k turn' like he does in the A.

Most wanted 2: Scummier and Villianiest. 2 Scyks and a Battle Butterfly.

Most wanted Vets: what ever the next two small based fighters are after wave 8, cause they are already guaranteed to need a fix.

Hard to say. Rebels really and truly could use more Y-Wing pilots, it's almost insulting they haven't gotten anymore yet.

But both the T-65 and E-Wing could probably use a little love... then again, the X is already getting Integrated Astromech.

All I can say is they really need to have T-65 Tycho now that the precedent for a Pilot in 2 different ships has been set.

EDIT: Oh also a T-65D-A1 Title would be great that scraps the astromech slot for a systsems slot.

X and E and with corran horn as the ps8 x wing pilot with same ability.

Hoping X/Y, hate the E.

Would love Corran in an X though!

Y/E I would say.

I think Ys, cause there are only 4 pilots. X-wing has has already 10(!) T-65 pilots + some 5+ T-70 pilots.

However it could even be mainly Y/E, while containing some Xwing buff, too. Similar to the Most Wanted, which had stuff for the Hwk and CS 31 without having the models.

Part of me wants to speculate on the eventual Reb and Scum ace/vet sets, but I'm just too giddy over my Bombers and Defenders that I just can't care. It's like 20 years ago all over again! Someone just used the editing software to turn X-wing into TIE Fighter!

I'm guessing X and E also.

X-Wing: Model with Rogue Squadron markings

Corran

Tycho

2x Rogue Squadron Pilot PS6 with EPT

2x Recon-X title trade torpedo slot for system slot

2x Integrated Astromech mod

2x R3 Astromech. May take target lock action even when stressed 1 pt.

E-Wing:

Luke

Captain Reth (some sort of bonus when stressed)

2x White Team Pilot PS5 with EPT

2x Series-4 title- -2 points, adds Tech slot. Named

R7-Z0 does something

1x sensor upgrade

1x Tech upgrade.

Don't know with the Tech upgrades, to me they will probably stay at Ep VII stuff.
So I hope for more upgradecards

How do you guys see the probability that there will be something simillar to the Most Wanted box, that we may get 2 ships, but content for multiple? (like i.e. X/E Box with some Y-Wing Pilots, maybe even the fix thrown into there, so the Rebs don't have to buy into S&V)
I don't think that this is likely, especially not with the Vets set, but it would be a nice box.

Or a scum/rebel z.95 and y.wing pack .. to get more pilots for those ships...

I think Y+E makes sense. The Rebels could use some new named pilots for the Y-wing and E-wing generics are arguably the worse off of any generics in the game. I think a Y-wing addition would focus on giving it more options as opposed to a power boost (Perhaps making them proper bombers?), while the E-wing could get a treatment like the defender got. Plus, since both ships have astromechs, any new astromechs could provide additional utility to integrated astromech.

E and Y

X & E seems like the obvious choice... but what about the paint job?

Blue scheme on both is my bet.

(hopefully we get some great astromechs in the box)
