Would rather not see Tycho and Corran in Xs (though I'd rather have seen them in Xs to begin with); there's maybe a couple dozen Rogues we don't have pilot cards for yet (Ooryl, Pash, Gavin, Inyri, Aril, etc...) that'd be nice to see.

Now on that E-wing, Luke would not be a bad choice if we're going to repeat a card, though there really aren't a lot of named E-wing pilots.

I believe that there will be. Hopefully later this year even though I mainly play imperial forces

Yes. HWK and E-Wing.

The arrival of the Rebel Vet expansion this year is all but certain.

A related question is: Will we see "Aces" and "Veterans" expansions for Scum & Villainy that share the same theme as those packs for Imperials and Rebels, or will the inevitable upgrade/tweak expansions for the Scum faction be called something completely different?

Here's an easy fix for the all the problems with the E-Wing. Release Coran Horn as an X-Wing pilot, discontinue the E-Wing, pretend that awful ship never existed, live a happy and fulfilling life.

I doubt the Y-wing will get more ship love than it got in Most Wanted (and the K-wing), but I imagine Rebel Veterans could follow in the style of Most Wanted and add a few Y-wing pilots even if a model doesn't come packaged. Probably be a useful Astro or two in there anyway.

maybe.... what I think is now that C-3PO will be in abundance (due to store champs) there will be no real need to get the tantive any more. so they will bring out a Rebels version of the tantive with

• Docking for A-Wings (similar to Imp assault carrier)
• Phonex squad Pilots
• More epic crew eg Admiral achbar, Mon Mothma, Bail Organa
• Blue paint job
• New Epic weapons

I'd love an Admiral Ackbar crew card!

Not sure how you could translate "It's a Trap!" into a crew ability though

Edit - maybe it doesn't have to - in the movies Leia spends most of her ship time annoying people and bossing them around on their own ship - and yet her crew ability relieves stress

I don't like the idea of losing Ackbar, but I'm thinking something like:

"At the end of the Activation phase, you may discard this card to allow each friendly ship within range 1-3, including the ship Admiral Ackbar is assigned, to perform a free boost (or evasion?) action."

or

"At the end of the Activation phase, each friendly ship within range 1-2, including the ship Admiral Ackbar is assigned, may perform a free boost (or evasion?) action. Assign a stress token to those that do"

Seems to fit thematically, except I could see the boost being used more offensively than defensively, so maybe evasion makes more sense? *shrug*

I still can't understand why the T-65 needs a fix.

Imperial Veterans was announced a few weeks ago, offering some very helpful fixes for the TIE Defender and Bomber. But what about the Rebels? The E-Wing, and the namesake of the game itself, the X-Wing, are in sore need of fixes, more so than any TIEs. Yet FFG has not even made any hints of such an expansion or anything like it. Will there be a Rebel Vet expansion?

And now on a more serious base. I am pretty sure Rebel aces are coming. Now i do think that the Defender was one of the ships in most direst need of a fix, and the Bomber, well it can do no harm to fix it in one go! So i agree with bringing Imps first in this case.

But Rebels will sure as hell follow. And if i's just to make our forum bootlickers cry salty tears of envy (yet again) if Rebels should get one competitive option out of this, then that's already good enough for me!

Maybe the Rebel Vets box will have 3 ships? Like the Scum and Villainy box.

Maybe the Rebel Vets box will have 3 ships? Like the Scum and Villainy box.

That would be awesome.

A decent Title or other fixes for the T-65 with an alt paint scheme, and tons of Pilot options for the Y and E with a generic E-Wing discount! Perfect!

Edit - maybe it doesn't have to - in the movies Leia spends most of her ship time annoying people and bossing them around on their own ship - and yet her crew ability relieves stress

That's Carrie Fisher working her way through the crew like wildfire.

She doesn't recommend it.

I think so, it will be x-wing and y-wing, and they will use this artwork:

How about "It's a trap!" If your ship is in arc of two or more enemy ships and you have no targets in your firing arc you may acquire an evade token for each enemy who can target you beyond the first.

The wording is clunky but it could be fun.

I doubt the Y-wing will get more ship love than it got in Most Wanted (and the K-wing), but I imagine Rebel Veterans could follow in the style of Most Wanted and add a few Y-wing pilots even if a model doesn't come packaged. Probably be a useful Astro or two in there anyway.

I hope they at least get a new pilot, really annoying that scum get a Y wing pilot with an EPT and rebels don't...

Yeah but lets be real. The Y-Wing was apart of Wave 1. We have to expect mistakes to be made as they figure things out. So i'm sure Horton not getting an EPT was just a learning mistake.No reason to still be salty over it.

It's not about being salty, it's about not having the option when it's your favourite ship!

Since it was the 'workhorse' for the rebellion before they got the t65, some pilots should at least have the experience in it to deserve a EPT, even if it's only one, it opens up some combos if you sacrifice your astromech on another with R2D6 ( wich actually works better on a t65 now that we know that you keep the EPT when you discard with IA)

The y-wing does not need a fix but more pilots would be great.

E-wing generics certainly need help and some cheaper aces wouldn't hurt so I think it'll be in there for sure.

X-wing does not need more pilots but it's still not fixed and won't be until they give the aces a way to reposition.

I think E-Wings should get fixed so people don't say "What the heck?" when I ask them about a Knave Squadron Pilot.

X-wing does not need more pilots but it's still not fixed and won't be until they give the aces a way to reposition.

Can we not just give every **** ship boost or barrel roll? The X-Wing does not need boost or barrel roll, all it needs is a 1 point discount on an astromech with Integrated Astromech or some new astromechs that are designed just for the X-Wing.

X-wing does not need more pilots but it's still not fixed and won't be until they give the aces a way to reposition.

Need, no. But the X-wing has far more pilots that exist in the lore that people want.

And the Aces have plenty of options for repositioning.

The X-wing has the option to reposition with BB-8. The ship is not in the sad shape many claim it is. Sometimes it seems a ship is considered trash if it isn't considered OP or at least tier 1.

New astromechs for the x-wing and e-wing would be nice fixes but its difficult too because Y-wing

You seem to need this.

For myself, I have high hopes for special things to come for the Rebels.

Something like this included.

• Supreme Allied Commander for Intelligence, of the Alliance to Restore the Republic, Airen Cracken.

I'm hoping that it'll be like Most Wanted where there were cards in the box for ships that weren't. I'm with you in that I have X-Wings galore and don't need another model (2 cores, 2 TFA cores, 2 X-Wing expansions and the Transport have me nicely covered) but think a few T-65 titles would go nicely with some new Y-Wing pilots and who knows what else we'll get.

I just hope it has pilots from the new movie coming out this year, Rogue One.

It won't, unless it comes out in December (with the movie). As the TFA core and T-70 releases showed, Disney will be playing their cards pretty close to their chest on named pilots.
