Prior to wave 8's release the community seemed to have a lot of pockets of local variation with different ships dominating different locales. Some places like brobots, some never see them. Rebel regen was a little over-represented at our last store champs.

Wave 8 in its first incarnation was a lot of experiments and Torpedo scout spam.

But it's been a few weeks. What changes have you seen? Are triple scouts still popular or has your local meta basically figured them out?

Surprisingly no scout spam. I am one of the only sinners, and even then I feel obliged to run manaroo with two scouts (too much fun)

Lots of ghosts and, more strangely, rebel miniswarms with ks and t70s and Bs; the occasional dash. One guy loves large ships but won't play scouts; opts for Dengar.

Empire is still 99% Palp aces minus our resident interceptor fanatic who has been flying phantoms fantastically (and who convinced me to replace boba crew with zuckuss and never look back...stupid cloaked green dice)

Lots of people trying to work out the Ghost here, and a lot of variations being used each time. Nobody spamming U-boats, but that'll likely be my job next time I'm playing, as people want practice against them more than anything else (never thought I'd have people asking me to bring U-boats...). Rebels popularity outside of Ghost lists seems to have dropped off considerably.

Wave 8 is fresh and the ghost is the sexiest and largest model we've seen since ever

Paint scheme's a bit garish IMO

Worst. Stand. Ever.

One of the guys here flush fitted magnets to all three contact points on the ship, and fitted same to the stand. Steady as a rock now, and doesn't stick out in any way at all.

My Ghost is still sitting in it's packaging. I actually don't envisage using it any time soon. Maybe the Sabine or Kanan crew cards, but that's about it.
