HEROES OF THE RESISTANCE!

By PhantomFO, in X-Wing

I miss the days where illicit slots and s-loops were things that only belonged to Scum... but I'll feel better if they give me some more scum toys instead :P

But the rebels are Scum?

If only there was a movie coming out that has X-wings in it. Whose name is tied to the X-wing in many people's minds. And who FFG has said that they have had more access to than TFA.

But that would be silly.

Rectangle senor array!

Whew, that is pretty amazing! I am super stoked about this sensor array. Anyone that owns the Falcon realizes it needs some fixes and this is great to see that the main concern was met by upgrading the model to a rectangle sensor array instead of giving it some love via card changes.

On the right side, the placement of the crew upgrade card and the title upgrade card is unfortunate, to say the least.

HAAAHAHAHAHAHA.

"If *I* don't like this expansion, the people who make this game must somehow be financially motivated."

This game has always been profit-motivated.

Of course it was, like pretty much every other product in existence. If a product doesn't make a profit, then about 98% of the time that product stops getting made.

If releasing a pack based on TFA makes them a ton of money then it's only natural that they will do so.

It's not like this expansion means there won't be a Rebel Aces produced as well.

It's almost like they knew that there's another movie coming out. And planned for it. But who'd ever do something crazy like that.

Bah. Sky is falling.

Maybe we'll get a third Starter set, with a third damage deck, and a third ruling on damage decks.

also congrats on 6,666 posts.

I do need to find a Greg Grunberg picture to put onto the Snap Wexely card.

So that Illicit card looks like it says:

Large ships only

Your action bar gains the slam action.

After you perform a slam action, either maybe take dmg, or roll a die and flip the card face down, like cloaking device.

All this means is All scum big ships get at least 1 slam. And going by slams, it looks like you can slam into Red manuevers, so slamming into K-turns, and slamming at 4 speed for super charges. or the jumpmaster doing 2 white S-loops around.

Can't wait to see a YV-666 make a 3 hard turn, and then SLAM into another 3 hard turn, successfully completing its first K-Turn :D

I'm more or less happy about this expansions, I would have loved for a Rebel Veterans or Wave 9 to be announced but I'll take what I can get. Though I sorta wish that we got an R6 astromech seeing as Snap flies with one in the movie or the black R0 astromech that Poe used as BB-8 replacement during the battle of Takodana.

That would make it a Big K instead of a little k... ;)

Can we haz PS 10 Maarek Stele with new ability in a TIE Avenger now?

Dude fly so well he got made an Imperial Hand. Deserves better than PS 7.

Also, the Smuggler's compartment for the Falcon looks like it lets you take another modification on top of it. So Falcons can get EU and slam, or worse, Glitterstim on Han.

So Smuggled computer allows Rebels to have a Scum Illicit Upgrade!!! Sweet!!!!!

The upgrades sound great. I'm just not keen on the price point due to another falcon when they could have packaged the cards and cardboard with just a new radar dish we could swap into the original.

Just realized there is only one YT generic. was hoping I had reason to have two Falcons so I could run two of these new generics together... But I'll have to buy two of these expansions to do that... No thanks.

Sigh...

Smuggling compartments.

and no, not sweet for us scum players who already have crap all to call our own

least i have my mostly crappy selection of salvaged astromechs :-/

This means we can have a new PS9 for Scum and Imperials.

As others have said, I'm glad I held off painting my T-70. Also thrilled to see two Integrated Astromech cards...

But we only get one unique Astromech?! So sad. I hope he pairs well with IA, unlike R5-X3 (who is actually a really sweet upgrade).

Also, I cannot wait to find out Jess Pava's ability. This is going to be awesome!

And as was pointed out, Black One is going to seriously mess with Omega Leader... And I LOVE THAT!! "Don't let these guys scare you!"

The new generic "resistance" whatever, guess on point cost and if it'll have the same statline as the uniques?

also... this doesn't exclude getting a rebel veterans sometime still...does it?

PS 9 Poe will show Omega Leader...

Lol Scum took Y-wings from rebels and made them great, then got a procession of great astromechs and crew.

Scum are fine.

Only a few of us called this one. I even got the name right. (Pats self on back)

I predicted some of this as well:

Black and orange t-70 and square sensor falcon? Yep.

New Millenium Falcon title? Yep. Though the details are different. I proposed the ilkicit slot would be on the title, not a modification.

Slam action for Falcon? If that is what it is, called that too. As an illicit upgrade I called it too.

The only thing I called tha didn't show up was Scum pilots for the yt-1300, which is a shame. But, a second most wanted could be in the pipeline.

Now, as to the x-wings, "Snap", Jess Pava, and Nein are awesome. Happy to see them. Now.. With the upgraded Poe, it seems to open the flood gates to future expansions reprinting and applying errata to cards. Thst could be good.. Or "I've got a bad feeling about this.."
