Just bought the core game set, and then went out and bought 13 expansion ships haha! Love how they incorporate all the older EU stuff in the game! Are there going to be anymore expansion packs for this game? Some cool things they could add:

Missile Gunboat

Assault Gunboat

IG-88's ship (forgot the name)

Shadow droids (from Dark empire)

TIE Avenger

TIE Vanguard

Scimitar assault bomber

TIE Sentiel

TIE Hunter

T-wing

M-class Starfighter

Starchaser

I got it recently as well. It is a great game and the more I learn about the intricacies of it, the more I like it. Looks like they release new expansions every 4 months or so. If you scroll down here to the Wave lists, it has the dates they came out next to them. As a new player, the best resource I've found so far to learn more about the game is this one. But some things, I just stumble across, like Titles I only found out about yesterday (been playing 3 weeks just casually). There is a list of useful links stickied that you should check out, but I also like these other two sites for exploring the game: Squadron Builder and Card List.

Looks like we're gonna get along just fine!

IG-88's ship (forgot the name)

Welcome!

Also, some good news for you, IG-88's Agressor is already available for X-Wing.

Welcome to the game and forums, please remember to pick a face the silhouettes freak us out

You've taken your first steps into a larger world.

Welcome to game:)

Core set, and suddenly several expansions? Yeah, that seems to be how it goes with most people

Yes, Sales of X-Wing has exploded,it is FFGs biggest seller, and they recently renewed their license with Disney/Lucasfilm so it will probably be around for a long time. Imperial Veterans are coming soon, and we know that Wave 9 is finished and will probably be announced in the near future (guessing release late summer), and that they are working on wave 10.

silhouettes 4 lyfe

Welcome! And, yeah, expansions keep coming out - I doubt FFG is ever going to stop, the game is currently the #1 non-collectible miniatures game in the country (just this last quarter finally pulling ahead of Warhammer 40K), and has been FFG's largest money maker for YEARS.

It ain't goin' nowhere!

Assault Gunboat

You are not alone on that one! It's popular enough, it has even come up with interviews with the designers we are 'aware there is a significant interest from the fans' in that ship.

IG-88's ship (forgot the name)

As mentioned by a few folks - already in the game!

TIE Avenger

At a guess - not impossible, but given the TIE Defender is already here as the top-dog superiority fighter, and the recent TIE Advanced update that comes with the Imperial Raider (huge ship) covering the lower end of that space...I don't really think there is a lot of room for this without bumping into some other ship's role.

Scimitar assault bomber

I agree that I would have LOVED to see this one! Unfortunately, odds are pretty low. The ridiculous-looking TIE: Punisher appears to take up the exact same role as the Scimitar would have, in being a super-heavy assault bomber, so we probably won't see it.

T-wing

M-class Starfighter

Starchaser

MORE SCUM TARGETS, YES!

I'd think the T-Wing would be kind of a tight fit, as the low-end of the Scum lineup is already a BIT overcrowded (M-3A Scyk and Z-95), but ya never know. The other two are definitely possibilities, IMHO!

Welcome!!

I'm one year in and still loving it...

Best game ever. Best rule set, best world material, and best gaming community.

Welcome! Long time player, recent addition to these forums myself

That's the spirit!

A Tie/D fighter (the droid ones) would be cool too, or the

Or the Wild Karde as a huge ship for scum

And so many more!

Welcome! Once you X it's hard to go back! I play a bit of Infinity too, which is a great game with lovely mechanics, but the elegance of X-wing's rules, and the importance of maneuver in the game, along with the awesomesauce of the theme, all guarantee that it'll probably remain my favourite game of all time. Gratz on the choice, you won't regret it

Welcome to the addiction!

Yes, we all want the missile boat.

Thanks for the replies everyone! I see now that IG-88's ship is in. I had thought that one was Prince Xizors and Guri's ship from Shadows of the empire, maybe I confused it with another (I was trying to go off my memory of the micro machines I had when I was a kid, had both IG-88's ship and Prince Xizor's)

Good to know that they are working on more stuff! Just played a game with my friend last night, I had: Tie Fighter, Tie Punisher, TIE Defender, and Tie Phantom vs his Millenium Falcon, E-wing, and B-wing. Managed to take out his B-wing and almost took out the rest (1 hit left on the E-wing, and 3 hits left on the Falcon) before I lost The Phantom is great! I get to roll 4 attack dice! Couldn't understand how to do the cloak so we just ignored that ability. Tie Punisher was pretty dissapointing. Has tons of health, but only 2 attack dice Didn't know how to do mines, or bombs so we just played without those either. Maybe it's better if yout actually use those. The battle took 2 hours though!

Welcome to the party!

And don't listen to all these chicken littles, this game is awesome!

Don't be afraid to ask on the rules forums we don't rib the newbies too hard.

I don't want a Missile Boat*

Some of the mechanics like cloaking and bombing can seem a bit daunting at first, but just ask. Nearly everyone on the boards has asked for advice at some point.

Your first game sounds as if you're on the right track, play the ships you like and learn the basics before worrying about anything else.

* Seriously.

ok, so how exactly do you use cloaking? The rule card for it wasn't much help.

Also what is a korigan turn? I thought the Tie Defender was supposed to have it, but all I had were regular maneuvers on my dial

Your best bet would be to go to the thread that is stickied to the top of this forum and work your way through the links that MajorJuggler has posted.

It is quite simply one of the best resources available for new players.

A K-turn is quite simply when you make a straight movement, and then at the end of it, turn your ship 180 degrees so that it is facing the way it came.

Have fun.

It's the U-Turn one. Here's the other uncommon moves:
