Rebel Veterans

By Stigles, in X-Wing

It's been a month since Imps Vets announcement and we haven't heard a peep about Rebel Vets! the anticipation is killing me!

(I really just want to know which ships are in it before buying a Rebel Transport. Hoping for a Z and E buff.)

Why would the z need a buff?

You'll probably be waiting awhile

I believe they only release one ace pack a year?

Maybe in wrong, but we still don't have wave 8 out yet. Imperial Veterans isn't out yet, and I'm sure they are working on a scum huge ship or two and nothing has been said there

The transport is a ship well worth for what's inside imo

And we're not likely to hear anything about it till, probably, this summer sometime. Not until imperial veterans is actually out in stores.

We may see a Scum Aces pack out before Rebel Veterans, too.

yeah i think scum needs it more

Why would the z need a buff?

I shouldn't say "Buff" but something to make them a bit more interesting. Cracken is cool, but dies. Blount is cool, but that wears off immediately after his missile is done. Scum gets bug zappers and suicide bombs on their Zs!

So, yeah....

Wave 8 needs to come out

Then we'll get an announcement on wave 9

Then, maybe, 2 months after that imperial veterans will come out

Then an announcement for either scum aces or a scum huge

Then, as we start getting close to wave 9 being released, then maybe we'll get a rebel veterans announcement. Maybe.

Blount is cool, but that wears off immediately after his missile is done.

His regular attack "always hits" as well. He pops stealth devices like nobody's business.

oh.... I'll just put this thread away then...

Why would the z need a buff?

Z-95 doesn't need a buff, but new pilots and upgrades could be fun. The upgraded Z-95s in EU had better weapons and made use of Astromechs.

I'm just excited about hopefully having an E-Wing in there so we'll see more E's and less Corran on the table. It's a fun ship, but it really feels like there's just one pilot for it, right now.

Screw Rebel veterans,

we have godamn Scyks, Kihraxzes and Starvipers awaiting their chance to shine

Dear FFG, please confirm a Rebel Veterans box, or we will have a new " Rebel Veterans" thread every three days.

You have been warned.

Rebel Aces won't be next. It'll be Aces for Hire or something like that, with updates for the StarViper and the Scyk.

I hope it comes out when the movie Rogue One comes out with pilots from the movie inside. Honestly we have so many new toys and different combinations to try out, it baffles me that some are wanting more right now. I don't think as a whole that IA has been totally fleshed out. Not to mention wave 8 is about to ship...I hope, and the new defender titles will be here before you know it.

We won't see any announcement for it until after Imperial Veterans is in our hands, which is months away. Then we'll have to wait months to play it ourselves. Patience, Padawan.

I believe they only release one ace pack a year?

Imperial Aces and Rebel Aces came out 5 months apart.

It should be E-Wings and B-Wings. That is all.

But we didn't get the announcement of Rebel Aces until Imperial Aces was on the shelf. I'd expect a similar trend here.

Rebel veterans... I don't think scum should have aces packs yet, rather more new ships - with aces packaged with huge.

They need to play catch up in epic.

yeah i think scum needs it more

I totally agree, but then Scum would have needed it a lot more than imps in the first place too. Not saying the Defender was totally doing well here, but Scum is still not on the same level of competition as Empire and rebels generally spoken!

Also we are waiting on the E-Wing fix for as long as we have been waiting for the Defener fix. And don't let me start about the X-Wing again. The Y-Wing is also a long-time candidate for new Pilots!

Wouldn't it be neat if the Vet pack was more like the Imp Ace pack? I mean, Rebs got two different ships in their Ace pack, Imps got one. Imp Vets has two different ships, maybe Rebel Vets will have but one ship?

Maybe it will be the Rogue Squadron box and we'll get two T-65s that come with a bunch of sweet pilots and a slew of cheap droids. Maybe some hotrod X-Wing titles? Maybe some cool existing mods like IA.

Not that I think the X-Wing needs a buff or anything, just something fresh that puts X-Wing formations on the table. I think we have all been wondering when FFG was gonna get into Rogue Squadron territory and I think this next Rebel dual pack will be it.

But then I'll have SIX T-65s, and I already won't be able to fit the first one in the box into 100 points with the 4 I already own :(

...so, an X-wing?
