One ship color then a second one when the ace pack comes along is plenty.. feel free to paint them yourself... It's a cost thing.. Are you willing to pay seventeen a piece instead of 15 to have a red and a blue x-wing with no difference in the card's? I'm not..
We need more small ship titles.
I don't know about anybody else, but I'll be very disappointed if the Prototype B-Wing doesn't get a separate miniature. Rather than just being made a title card. Perhaps also with a "B6" or "Blade Wing" title card, but we need that completely different bottom section with a gunner's cockpit actually modeled.


Edited by knaveleadAfter Imperial Veterans and Heroes of the Resistance there will be only 10 out of 36 ships that do not have a title. And 2 ships with multiple titles.
I would like to see titles that don;t become an auto-include also I would like to see ships with multiple titles to be unique titles. Right now only the slave 1 has multiple unique titles.
- X-wing
- TIE-fighter
- B-wing
- Z-95 headhunter
- E-wing
- TIE-Phantom
- Kihraxz Starfighter
- TIE Punisher
- K-wing
- TIE/FO
Falcon also has multiple unique titles... with the same name, ug... much rather go with Stellar Envoy or similar if they were gonna do that...
There are obvious reasons they made the Falcon's new title a unique same name title, and that is to make you choose which one to use, and for thematic reasons. If it was just some other YT-1300 that was in TFA and not the Falcon, then yes it would be a different one.

In the Star Wars CCG we had Luke, Luke Skywalker, Commander Luke Skywalker, Luke Skywalker, Jedi Knight, Son of Skywalker, etc... *something* to distinguish different versions of the same card would be nice (and at least the Stellar Envoy was one of the Falcon's old names at one point). We now have four unique cards that have two versions each.

Oh my god hell no... no Wave Motion Gun B-wing ever...

I liked that about the Decipher CCG. Hell I still have most of those cards you just named. And I'd of liked FFG to have done a similar thing with this game....and certainly coulld have with the New PS9 Poe.
But I wonder how many people would have tried to argue, that they could have Commander Dameron, and also Poe Dameron in a list, add in a crew version of him, and then we'd get even more people trying to argue they could do that if he had a different name. I'm almost surprised people dont try that with other uniques of different types (maybe they do or did, and I havent heard of it before). FFG could always put a FAQ out about such a thing, but I guess they have chosen a different route entirely and just gone with 1 name for each.
Whoknows maybe if there is a 2nd or 3rd edition of the game several years down the line they will do something like that.

You know you want one! ![]()
Oh my god hell no... no Wave Motion Gun B-wing ever...
It needn't be the whom-whom-whom-death uber-weapon it's portrayed as in the show. After all, in-game, an X-wing can take a perfect proton torpedo hit and the odds of getting a kill are astronomical.
I'd make a "Quarrie's Prototype" title card something that allows you to double tap with, then discard, a cannon. Two heavy laser cannon shots, especially backed up by opportunist and a fire control system or similar, could theoretically punch clean through the forward shields of a raider and land some sort of beastly critical, which could represent what we're seeing....

It's almost Sun Crusher levels of stupid. This is Star Wars; you don't put a true Wave Motion Gun on anything smaller than a space station.

WotC Skirmish game also had a LOT of variations of Luke Skywalker and many other characters including a half dozen+ Vaders. All may have different names which certainly makes them much easier to distinguish when you talk about them (lots of differences between Darth Vader and Lord Vader) but when it comes to list building you can only have one character with that name no matter how many different things he/she could be called.
I guess one problem with having multiple titles with the same name on them is simply how are they distinguished in list building? I forget the cost of that new Falcon title but if it is 1 just like the old one then where is the distinction that keeps you from switching from one to the other between games? In a way is almost becomes like a dual upgrade card except that they actually are two distinctly different cards. Unless of course the new Falcon title is part of a dual upgrade with the old Falcon title on the other side; now this could be relatively awesome.

Yeah but with Heroes of the Resistance I think we can expect more cards with the same name in the future. Makes me wonder if they plan on reprinting any other pilots or upgrades.

This is a big reason I've got a hate on for this new expansion; it really sets a bad precedent.
Hello, I'm 12 and I keep misreading the topic header.
Also, that B-Wing Prototype? How come the gunner compartment is smaller than the cockpit yet the inside is roomier than many a dorm? Is it secretly a TARDIS?
When people come up with a half baked idea they never think it threw.. Bigger.. Stronger ... Like making Poetry a nine pilot same as Vader... Why?

If freaking LAATs can have composite lasers (edit: and SPHA-T as well), it's clearly not a Death Star only thing.


As with anything else, the power of wave motion guns scales to size. The Death Star superlaser blasts entire planets into tiny pieces with one shot, while the Prototype B-wing tears big holes in a 250 meter-ish warship (doesn't outright blow it up) with one shot. And it only gets one shot, on top of being hard to aim and frying the hyperdrive after being fired. There's a reason production B-wings don't have it, after all.
It doesn't even come close to the stupidly overpowered Sun Crusher with its supernova bombs and literally indestructible hull in a ship maybe the size of Slave I.
Edited by Red XIVThose bottom ones aren't WMGs, they're maser cannons, and composite lasers do not a WMG make.

That is why the Prototype B-wing makes that shot count.
