Did wave 7 fizzle?

By NukeMaster, in X-Wing

The KHIRAD:SDCN:SDUNSGALHFJS is bad... it's a bad version of an T-65 xwing.

What a load of bunk. The Kihraxz is fantastic.

It's a more fragile version of the T-65...

The T-65 is not good right now... therefore the Kiraxzxhfdy is bad as well.

Yet Wedge, Luke, And Hobby took first, and dominated, at my last store tourney. Please tell me more about how the T-65 sucks.

If you can't take out 3x T-65s that says much more about a lack of pilot skill/ list buildling skill at your local store than it does about the quality of the ship.

To respond to you, how is my logic flawed? The Khiraxz is demonstrably worse than the T-65 stat wise 1 extra hull and 1 fewer shield makes it squishy as all heck. It's dial is better but they still fail at what they were intended to do, joust.

If you like the ship more power to you. It's not a good ship but hey I like A-wings.

Personal I love the Khiraxz, I flew a list of the hounds tooth and one Khiraxz, The khiraxz took down two t-65 while the tooth played with the third. I know it's not a top tier list, But when a ship takes out twice it's point value, and is ready for more it can't be a bad ship.

You're talking garbage maniacmcgoo. The Kihraxz has a dial that is a whole order of magnitude better than the X-Wing, better generics and access to the awesome illicit slot. You're wrong, simple as that.

Yup... KRAXX IS one of the best main front liners in the whole game... PERIOD.

At this point in the game it's probably better that new waves don't make a huge splash when they release. We have a lot of really strong ships and cards already, new waves should strive to match the power levels we already have or resuscitate older ships/cards/strategies that aren't seeing play.

It also adds the side benefit that people who don't want to expand their collection don't have to invest as much to stay competitive

great points +1

I do hold onto the hope that some of the FFG x-wing designers do read some of these threads, since its on their forum! And filter through 99% of the garbage posted on here, and take into consideration the 1% of posts that could potential help and influence them into making calculated, rational decisions that shape the future of the game. Releasing new ships is cool, but over-all I think the most important aspect of now just creating a game, but making sure its longevity and continuation is balance. The game needs to be balanced constantly, with evolving meta, new ships, cards, interactions, a lot of play testing is involved when releasing new content. I do hope they take full advantage of some of the content on this forum.

Scum made out very well. The Houndstooth is a very fun ship to work with, and I am personally fond of the Khiraxz... been running a list with a YV-666 and two fighters that has been doing pretty well. Wave 7 also brought a lot of upgrade cards into the game which are not bad. I will be waiting for people to walk in and praise crackshot.

Miranda, and the K-Wing in general, are fantastic.

The TLT are fantastic.

Conner's Nets are fantastic.

The Hound's Tooth doesn't have a place yet.

The Khiraxz (and no I didn't have to look up the spelling) is a more cost-effective version of the T-65, with a similar upgrade bar, and Talonbane Cobra is an effective Ace hunter (with the right upgrades).

The Punisher... has great pilot abilities, on an overcosted ship. It may have a place eventually, but its simply not survivable enough at the moment.

Oh, so you have Khiraxz copy/paste ready? Smart.

Yv isn't half a PWT. You cant have half "**** you imma shoot you anyway." Either you can dodge or you can't

The Yv is a double arc lamda

start putting upgrades on it and it gets into PWT zone faster than you can stop it.

"Acehunter Bossk" VI+EU+K4+Tactician+Inertials+Gunner is cool, but costs like it's GW merchandise.

"Amoral Eval" HLK+K4+4Lom+Zuckuss+Glitterstims will be fun but costsn like a truck

it's a 180' arc ship. it can't K-turn unlike the filthy PWTs, it's only non-red turns are 3 (nowhere near the Tight term)

and it's action economy is poor, even on Bossk, who's the only pilot of the TRUNK OF SATAN who has an EPT

Fun? yep. Competitive? nope.

the Daredevil+Outlaw tech combo is too good for non rebels D:

that's only if you overload a 1 agi ship with no defensive tech (why?)

gunner bossk slaver is 36 points, small ship prices

DAT...

And now one more point gets you Zuckuss... on a ship that hardly cared about stress to begin with.

I think that at least some of the Wave 7 ships are currently underrated. I just attended a 12-person Winter Kit tournament where a Deathrain list took 2nd place (mostly by dropping Conner Nets on aces like Vader and Whisper). There was also a Miranda/Dash list and another Deathrain list that both performed pretty well.

Wave 8 and Imperial Veterans are bringing some stuff that's going to synergize with the K-Wing and Punisher as well. Guidance Chips + Redline is scary as hell. A K-Wing carrying Sabine Wren and Conner Nets is also pretty badass.

actually, it's Kiragzzgarrrrglgar'k..z.

now, say that 773 times.

also, it means: "romans go home" when spelled correctly. go write it down 1000 times on that shiphull *points at a landing Kiragzzgarrrrglgar'k..z*

All the more proof I didn't copy/paste it.

I was also insistent on spelling "Koiogran Turn" correctly. The unspellable is merely a challenge :)

YEAH... Kick his ass Drac!

:lol:

Looks like you did have to look up that spelling though. Or should have.

And please, FFG, I don't care if you produce more unpronounceable or difficult-to-spell ships, but I do not want anymore SWG purple and green ships that make Scum even less viable as a faction.

Oh, and GUNBOAT!!!!!

You guys have yet to fly Triple Slavers, eh?

I love the Khiraxz, it's exactly what scum needed to fill the 3 attack small ship role. It's like and X-wing with a 1 turn.

If you are not crushing with redline you are actualy bad at this game

to not care about stress you'll need K4 security, and that's 3 points and another crew

And that is one of the probs with the Punisher. It packs the boring clusters, you have to buy at least 1, probably more K-Wing(s), to have fun with the Punishest and Conner nets.

These days you buy the Punisher for Redline and (as a Teaser for Deathrain) and the K-Wings to make Deathrain "kewl".

Blame FFG...!

What a crap topic... you negativers have a lot to learn about this game.

Agreed. Wave 7 was GREAT!

Kihraxz: Possibly the best Scum ship to date. If you hate it, fine but please don't tell me it's useless based on that.

YV-666: Has its limitations but a very strong and highly customisable ship. Bossk + Mangler for the win!

Tie Punisher: Redline and Deathrain are great.

K-Wing: Miranda is overpowered, Wardens are good.

I'm sorry if any of you had a bad time with these ships but personally I love 'em!

I was runner up at my local store championship (competitive crowd) with this:

Bossk

VI

Tactician

K4

Intel agent (will be replaced with 4-lom)

Engine upgrade

4 bynaire pirates - 3 with feedback array.

Works a treat against aces. Ps1 tie swarms are the problem, which is the only game I lost all day.

We all love them, but they are nowhere near the level required to rival anything top-tier.

just can't.
