No new ships...what would you think/do?

By Plainsman, in X-Wing

IF FFG made an announcement stating there would be no new ships after Wave 8,

would you feel the game was complete?

Would you have access to all the ships you want/need?

If not, which ships would you need to see added?

And would you request a Wave 9 in order to get those ships that aren't available?

Thoughts?

Without a huge for Scum the game would be incomplete

I do not have in my possession an Assault Gunboat or a TIE Avenger. Therefore the game is not yet complete.

No.

No.

TIE Aggressor

TIE Avenger

TIE Hunter

TIE Oppressor

Yes.

TIE Avenger and Assault Gunboat.

Nice to see balance is in peoples opinions.

Game is incomplete unless Empire get 4 more craft...complete then, sod the other two factions.

Mel's would be set for life.

Honestly I have not recognized most of the ships as I didn't play many of the video games or read the books. With this next wave the bounty hunters exist as crew and pilots.

Now if they want to wormhole in Babylon 5 factions ....

I would finally get a chance to, eventually, play with everything that I have, rather than look to the next new thing!!!

If they stopped, I'd buy more of the stuff already out. Once I owned all I could reasonably use, I'd play huge Epic games all the time.

I still need me some boats. Gunboats and Missile Boats.

I only want to see one of those. Ever.

Oh no!/Panic!

... So you're saying that's a bad thing? :P

Rebs basically don't need any more unique ships (barring the Skate and maybe some variants), so we're probably good there. That's the place where you end up scraping the barrel as it is.

Scum and Imps though? There's tons of TIE variants plus the 'boats and Scum need basically everything.

Switch to Armada.

Yes.

No.

Gunboat and TIE Avenger.

Yes.

The Scum still need a hat to throw into the Epic ring before I would ever call it over.

Corran Horn and Tycho Celchu (with the same rules they have currently) in T-65 Xwings, and then also Zev Senesca (the pilot from Empire Strikes Back) in one too. And maybe Nien Nunb in a T-70. and a Rebel Y-wing pilot or two with an EPT.

Cheaper Ewing generics/fix!

New Republic Defender Starfighter, with loads of Kturns that are white!

As for Imperial, the TIE AvengerTIE Vanguard, , Gunboat, Missile Boat, and Scimitar Assault Bomber,Zsinji's Tie Raptors, and the Shadow Droid Fighter from Dark Empire II. Oh and TIE SF from TFA.

Scum: Uglies, different types of Uglies! And a StarViper that can fire backwards like it should have been able to--so a fix for it!

They would need a steady line of new FA ships, but if they get a scrub down order, then they need to update the game on a regular basis. Upgrades, new prints, limited edition box sets and sculpts gullible whale gamers will buy.

The aim of the game is the game itself, unlike Warhammer 40k. It shouldn't be that difficult unless they do nothing helpful.

Skipray blastboat anyone?

I was waiting for a few replies before I voiced my opinion!

I'm very happy with Imperials currently. It would be nice to see the Tie Hunter imho.

Scum is definitely lacking in HUGE ships tho! I'd like to see three different ones for them!

Lastly, I don't think it would hurt if the Rebels had a third HUGE either, maybe something from the Mon Calamari just to be different.

Otherwise, I'd be fine with what we currently have after Wave 8 and flesh out my fleets with more of what is available.

I'm sorry for your bad taste?

I'm happy already. I don't think we need more ships dragged from EU obscurity. I agree in that a few more Epic ships would be nice for balance (Eg. Scum).

Having said that, FFG will make ships as long as we're buying.

I would like to see the focus shifted from ships to other elements of the game. For example, building up scenarios and more thematic gameplay.

It's been discussed before but scenario packs which include a piece of key terrain and scenarios around it might freshen up the game a little. Turrets for example, would provide a host of options. Differing scenarios would encourage creative list design and a more enticing option for gameplay outside of the 6 asteroid death match.

Here's what I think we still need:

  • Rebel Veterans (mostly for the E-Wing, but also whatever other ship+fixes they feel like throwing in - my bet is a 0-point astromech)
  • Scum Aces + Villainous Veterans to tune up the weaker S&V ships
  • S&V Huge Ship
  • Whatever ships get introduced in future movies + the Rebels tv show (e.g. Shadowcaster, Kylo Ren's Shuttle, etc.)

Besides those things, I would be ok with not having any more ships from the old EU and slowing down the general pace of releases.
