I ain't feeling the love? Sure it is a good thing Imperial players now have something to look forward to with the lackluster of imperial options from the past releases. But again both original factions now have 2 epic expansion and 1-2 character expansions while Scum and villainy have not had a single special release even announced. Sure they had a wave all to themselves but that was because they had had nothing for the past 5 waves so they were already 2.5 waves behind the other factions.

So when will scum get their special release finally? I can't paint a mouth on a Z-95 as well as the Ndru Pilot card art. Also the Scyk is not going to fix itself.

I guess it is probably mostly because the big fights are between Imps and Rebs, also there are still the fan favourites.
While I have a deep love for the Scum of the Galaxy (mhhh Edge of the Empire) I have to admit that it satisfy me much more to fly 4 X-Wings than any of the Legends Stuff.

Also I believe they will keep Imps and Rebs mirrored as much as possible, then comes S&V

I hope S&V gets some love, I really do, but I see why they are the last to get something

An Epic ship and an aces treatment in between waves? That could catch them up a little.

Chill your beans, man. S&V have only been out for 11 months, and they got the awesome Most Wanted pack on release. We'll be seeing the Punishing One and the Mist Hunter shortly as well.

S&V will get an repaints/aces pack eventually, but it's easy to see why the Imperials (and probably the Rebels) are getting some extra love first.

give it time

though I'd love that Tie/x7 on the Starviper

we can toss the Torpedo upgrade, though it will be such a great sacrifice

If anything, the announcement of Imperial Vets shows that FFG is going to release more of these supplement products. They may not have announced it TODAY, but they're coming. And it's awesome.

How about a possible rebel and scum combo upgrade for z.95s and y.wings .. a new paint job on each, and new pilots for each faction ... No, it doesnt fix ships like the scyk, but if we got new pilots for both those ships I'd be happier (that red Defender .. so nice looking)

yup, it's a heartening new trend

today, Bombers and Defenders

tomorrow, X-wings and E-wings

and then, the world! Vipers and Scyks

What S&V get their ace pack I'm betting on it being a StarViper and Scky/Kihraxz

Gah, ficklegreendice beat me to the prediction

I think we'll get the Scyk fix in the Star Jewel with the Viper in whatever Aces pack shows up down the line, though I can't imagine what the second ship would be (they're not putting two Vipers in that pack).

Besides the Syck, what needs a fix? Firespray, maybe?

You've got the Mando Mercs with their standard effective 3-action build as well as aces with solid abilities all around; not sure they really need much of a fix.

If the above poster is right that it's been 11 months since S/V were released, I'd bet we'll see some sort of aces pack or other "fixit" pack for the scum in about 7-10 months.

FFG works roughly 18 months out. They released S/V 11 months ago. It took them 3 months to see the problems and about 3 more months to start working on solutions. So they've been working on the Scyk for (I'd guess) about 6 months. Roughly.

At a further guess, I'd say that the Cloaking Device Illicit upgrade is a patch for the StarViper- it will give named StarVipers a bit of a boost. FFG may well be taking a wait and see attitude on the StarViper, give it a few months post-release to see how the Cloaking Device actually does on that ship.

That leaves the Scyk fighter. That's probably the Scum's number 1 "on fire needs a fix" ship. I think if that ship were in better shape, you'd see a _lot_ more Scum list viability. FFG have to know this. Furthermore, I can't quite feel that the Tractor Beam is good on low-PS ships. It's obvious to me, so it must be obvious to FFG as well.

Therefore, I'd guess (this is all just supposition) that about 3 months from now (call it March) we'll see a Scum Huge Ship announcement. That ship will have some tweaks for the Scyk, and also let the Scum fully participate in the Epic madness.

I'd expect that Huge ship to be released at GenCon.

I am looking forward to finding out how hilariously wrong I am about all of this.

Starviper could use some help judging by tournament results.

So good that in Gencon none of those ships were used and everyone played brobots. Oh wait there was a Firescum sneak in somewhere? But yeah the best starter for Scum is not the Most Wanted pack but two IG-88 Agressors and a Star Viper instead. However it is a reminder that Scum is still playing catch up and also a reminder of how far behind they are.

I'd like to see the Bounty Hunters back in the Empire, where they belong (they were hired by Vader, after all).

From your keyboard to FFG ears!

Ffg **** near straight up said that they had something in the works for the m3a, we just need to see if they include it with a buff for the star viper or a scum huge.

We will get the Viper & Seeker next year... good nuff.

Would love to have either of those two defender titles for the firespray, especially the Tie/D one.

generic Viper

It needs a buff for generics and normal ace-level pilots with selfish S&V traits.

Because Xizor is build-anchor, guri is fun, but both SUCK in the PS department.

and cost like kited-out Vader\Soontir\Poe\Horn\Wedge

WIth large rebel ship release, imp and rebel small ship release, and then imp aces I would expect Scum next. One large ship announced then an aces pack. Sycks and Starviper Aces pack for Scum.

The last bounty hunter bomber ship for the large Scum release.

Rebel Veterans should fix E-Wing and Y-Wing. Others are fine

Scum Aces/Veterans should fix Scyk and Starviper.

Exciting times to be an X-Wing fan!
