Will there be a 3rd Core Set?

By patox, in X-Wing

There's only one new core set I ever want to see and it's got an AT-AT and two snowspeeders in it.

My wallet would not be able to repel firepower of that magnitude.

Quite possibly the initial requirement to purchase it

That was once again a large ado over nothing. Yes they had planned on that, but even before they changed their mind there was no requirement to actually buy it. Because there were no official tournaments until Worlds and they said they'd be giving away free damage decks there.

But even then calling that a cluster is a pretty big exaggeration. Having a handful of people here making angry posts is not really that big of a deal.

I would like them to discontinue the second core, and give it out in a new version without "stupid" pseudonym-names like colour resp greek letter novice/veteran/leader/ace, and instead some real names. But it is probably not going to happen.

i would also like to run omega leader twice in one list

That might be pretty **** cool. Maybe a Wookiee Vs. Scum starter set.

1 Wookiee "Auzituck" (Anti-Slaver) Gunship and 2 Kihraxz Fighters... Or the other way around?

Perhaps a new starter could have all three factions.

Hopefully not but if they do I would at least like to see a Scum ship in the box. I don't know which one, maybe a Khiraxz as it is sort of the X-Wing analog for scum. But again, hopefully not.

You're never going to see a scum ship in a core set. Core sets aren't made for us. They're made to bring people into the game. You'll only ever see recognisable iconic ships in them. So unless they make a movie that isn't about Rebs vs Imps ..I wouldn't hold your breath.

Boba Fett movie... Directed by Quentin Tarantino.

I sure as **** hope not.

I don't need anymore goddamn TIE Fighters.

I think Rogue One will be a T-65 fix complete with new paint scheme from the movie. There's also the Rebel Transport. Hopefully the Imperials will get one or two new ships.....

(Gunboat)

......runs

yep. Run straight to the corner. Right beside me.

So this is what the hate corner looks like. Good thing we're a Wookie and Assassin Droid.

Forget droids, I want Jedi in Delta Aethersprites. And a Skipray Blastboat. And Lando's Lady Luck. And a nice big Action VI Epic Transport with Niles Farrier and the gang. Can they get all that into a new Core Set?

The only way we get a third should be when we go to 2.0.

I sincerely hope ffg learnt from the last Cluster.

Considering how long this game has been around and Hasn't gotten a 2.0, were not getting 2.0 anytime soon.... maybe in 10 years...

Oh God no. Well, unless they get Brad Pitt to play a snarky Mandalorian and Christoph Waltz to play an Imperial officer. Then, maybe.

Awesome core set: gunboat and scum

Likely core set: whatever rehash the Mouse things of. We've had turreted ties. My guess is we'll have bombers that poop Sith warriors

That is just the Tie Shuttle with Vader as a crew member...

Even if Boba really does end up getting his own movie, what are the odds he'll get an iconic starfighter in it? He's had Slave 1 as his personal ship since he was 10 years old.

Best chance of having a scum ship in a core set would be if the Han Solo movie gives him a fighter-sized ship in his pre-Millennium Falcon days.

You will die an old man clinging to your 10 Millennium Falcon's and starter boxes so high that they hold up your TV. It will never end.. I'm sure that they will settle in with a new core set about every 4 years with a new damage deck that you must have to play... R2D2 will be R2D12 by then .. We will see the birth of Palpatine(prequel 23 by then).. Aaahh.. Okay back to the point.. wait was there one?

Who are you, and what have you done with DarthEnderX?

I'm expecting a new Core Set for each new trilogy film.

They've already named this one the TFA Core Set, so it only makes sense to continue the trend.

We should also brace ourselves for the possibility that the ships/models will be the same (T70 & TIE/fo). Will be targeting new players after all...

I don't need any more REGULAR TIE Fighters.

Except for the part where it's completely pointless.

Then why do it? To literally just change the name on the box?

What about the rest of her? Would make a much better (looking) princess.

When it comes to Uma Thurman, Tarantino sees but one thing...

Oh, I don't know... to generate sales?? Do you honestly think FFG will just stick with the Original and "The Force Awakens" Core sets for the next 4 years as new movies are being released? They'd be stupid not to release rebranded core sets.

I also said we should "brace ourselves for the possibility" that it would be the same T70 and TIE/fo ships. I didn't say that this was going to be the case and I'm fairly confident that it won't be. It all depends on what X-wings and TIE Fighters appear in Ep 8-9. Because if the T-70 and fo are here to stay, I find it unlikely any core set would come without them.

What, four years? That's not that long. Warmachine took seven years to bring out a second edition. Closer to home, Descent took seven years to get a 2nd edition. On the other hand, Malifaux only went four years before updating, and Twilight Imperium has had three and five years between editions.

Also, new editions seem to come along when the supply of new releases starts to slow a little; some might argue that X-Wing has reached the stage of mining old novels and RPG sourcebooks for obscure ships, so who knows.

True, but that's still a large ship (wingspan aside it's actually bigger than Slave I). Fighters are a much bigger need for scum, and if we're talking about a new core set...well I don't see a core set ever including a large ship.

If not for the Han Solo movie being 2 years away (and the mabye-Boba movie being 4 years or more away), I'd suggest a core set with an X-wing for Rogue one and a pair of scum fighters for the Han Solo movie. But they're surely not going to wait that long to include Rogue One characters in the game. Disney will probably want a Rogue One tie-in either concurrently with the movie's premiere or at least pre-Christmas.

Actually, come to think of it, maybe we'll get a Rebel equivalent to the Imperial Veterans set that's specifically Rogue One-centric.
