So just wondering what people's thoughts are on this. Maybe I'm the only one but 1st the rules require ships to stay firmly on bases at all times... Ok makes sense. Now the ships stay connected pretty good when new except for the outrider/deci debacle. However after use a few times the pegs and connectors loosen up and every other turn a ship is popping of the stand or the peg. So my take on this is a.) take out the rule about ships maintaining firmness on the base (not a fan of that idea but makes sense to me if the models don't stay connected after only a few uses)

b.) come up with a better design for connecting ships

Or c.) allow modifications that enhance stability of ships on bases aka magnets

So what do you guys think, do any of you have issues with ships loosening up after a few uses of unplugging and plugging things in? For me I start noticing definite looseness after about 8-9 times playing. By that I mean playing in tourney, decoupling everything and stowing ( 1st time). Going to another tourney or friends house and recoupling everything, then decoupling again at the end ( 2nd time).

Also I do know I can order more pegs and stands or trying to replace the connectors on ships but really?! I mean I shouldn't have to do that after only a few uses. Honestly ffg does a good job with these models and I love the game I'm just putting some constructive criticism out there in hopes that it will help an already great game. Again I could be the only one here with this complaint but I'm hoping I'm not haha.

Modifications to the connectors are already allowed. Tournament Rules, p.4, third dot point under "Component Modifications":

• Players cannot modify ship bases to alter their size or shape. Weight may be added to a ship base if it does not alter the shape of the base. Ship pegs (including the connecting pegs affixed to ship models) may be modified or replaced with a different connecting method.

So by all means, buy some magnets and go to town.

Well what do you know?! Thanks for that! Ive been outta the loop for a couple months been busy with life and other things and finally have been able to get back to xwing in time for wave 8. Honestly hadn't caught up on any new faqs or rule changes. Guess I shoulda checked first. Thanks again tho glad they added that in there.

ya. and you can always put more pegs. or epic pegs. Or silly putty. or no peg, like the hounds tooth can.

A modification could break the ships between old and new, one standar is good. It is not a bad sistem, not perfect, but cheap and good looking

So by all means, buy some magnets and go to town.

This. Actually, everybody should do it. Ships look sexy as hell and they become much easier to mount/dismount.

i got question is possible to buy spare pegs somewhere ?

It will be soon as the packs come out with the new coloured pegs and bases they announced a while ago.
