Latley, (as there's always been) there's been a lot of complaining about a lot of stuff. And complaining about people complaining. And saying nerf this, or buff that, or change this.

Which is fine. It's gonna happen, and it's impossible to avoid. Not all of that stuff is negative. In fact a lot of it is very productive for the game.

But what I want to know is what exactly is your idea of a perfect state for this game?

Acewing, genericwing, joustwing, ordnancewing, imperial/rebel/scumwing, updgradewing, noupgradewing, whatever. What is in your opinion what you want the main focus of this game to be on?

Obviously most everyone is just gonna say perfect balance. But assuming that a perfect balance between all play styles is impossible and unrealistic given how the game has developed over time with various power creeps and subsequent counters, what do you want this game to be like?

I want what I don't and can't have and I won't be happy till I get it!

Or well.. Maybe when I win with the ship I want to fly today.

variety with the ability to field any ship competitively depending on the build and other ships in the squad. (note: not every pilot can be competitive) . I would love to goto a tournament and not see one list duplicated.

I want, not the main focus, but some more focus would be nice, I want some more support for scenario/mission based play. A slight move away from the 100 point dogfight.

That would be good for the game as well as people would tailor squads for missions.

I want a "Wing Leader" EPT that can only be equipped by unique pilots, and which grants bonuses when they're within range 1 of a non-unique ship of the same type.

I want gunboats

More bounty hunters and black sun

To have a good time.

I want every card to have a place and a purpose, in a way that is uniquely fun to that ship, that pilot, or that upgrade.

Of course, I want the Imperials to have a slight edge, especially when it comes to their more interesting ships, and the Defender should be the best ship in the game...

I want Wookiees. I want Jabba. I want Obi-wan. I want Ugly starfighters.

But mostly I want more choices for shield regeneration for all factions AND more 1 Point Modification upgrades.

Ponies, mostly.

And Imperial Vets to land already.

I want more variety, but I enjoy the game as it is, and I'll keep enjoying it even if FFG were to halt production and support entirely right now.

Everything and Nothing.

That is the answer to what everybody wants because never in the history of humankind has everyone been able to agree on 1 thing.

I want Scyks to be worth taking as the models are fantastic. I have 3 and play them only for fun, knowing a win comes down to blind luck on my part and maybe a minor stroke on my opponent's.

I want each play style to have a place in the game, and not have one trumped by another. I want what you bring to be based on how you like to fly your ships, not on what you know everyone else is flying. I want the game to be won on the table, not before. Acewing, genericwing, joustwing, ordnancewing,whateverwing, all should be able to beat each other and the contest should be based on a players skill and on their ability to adapt to an opponents list and an opponents flying. Right now, it feels like it is the wrong way around. The order of how things should go is such-

a)build list

b) go to event to play X-wing

c) see opponents list

d) adapt strategy based on what opponent brings.

e) learn from experience

Right now it is-

a)Find out about popular lists

b)Take popular list or try to somehow find something that beats said popular list

c)Get beat by player that has been playing popular list for longer than you.

d)Be frustrated by experience

So, yes, I do want perfect balance, thank you very much.

Played in a local tournament recently after sitting out for almost a year. Don't see anything wrong with UUU being dominant. It's just another puzzle that needs to be solved. I am really happy to see a WAY more diversified meta than the good ol' days of RAC/Fel + Fat Han dominating the tables.

I want a "Wing Leader" EPT that can only be equipped by unique pilots, and which grants bonuses when they're within range 1 of a non-unique ship of the same type.

"This ship may forgo it's atk this turn and grant another ship of the same type that also has this title +1 atk die. No ship can gain more then +1 atk die from this ability."

This will make every cheap 2 atk generic ship relevant again. Chardon refit awings, tie fo, tie ln, tie adv prototype, z95, scyk, tie bombers would all be decent again. And this upgrade will have almost no effect on ace wing or 3+ atk ships since no ace is going to give up its atk to give another ship +1 red die.

Try it out.

6 academy pilots

6 of the above titles

Howl runner w stealth device = 100 points

7 ships with 2 atk and howls reroll

Or 3 ships with 3 atk with howl reroll and howls 2atk.

You know I just want FFG to keep doing what they have been doing. MAKING THE BEST STAR WARS MINIATURES GAMES ON THE PLANET EARTH.

Dat'll do just fine (and once in a while when they totally screw up a ship that i care about I WILL "Fix IT" here at Boss Central and giggle when they do their fixes which are almost always similar to what I have been using on my own for months or even years... Toot!) !!!

Go FFG GOooo!!!

I want gunboats

Yes we wants the precious, we needs it *hobohobo* theys owes it to us, sneaky little devs, tricksy and wicked they are.

I want to play lots of games of X-wing against the best players I can find regularly.

Everything and Nothing.

That is the answer to what everybody wants because never in the history of humankind has everyone been able to agree on 1 thing.

I think that everyone, at least here, wants FFG to continue making the best minis game in the world...maybe ever...and that is one thing we all, at least here, can agree on.

If you can't agree to that, why are you here?

I want a squadron title that costs 1pt

"This ship may forgo it's atk this turn and grant another ship of the same type that also has this title +1 atk die. No ship can gain more then +1 atk die from this ability."

That's exactly what I posted last night as a proposed fix specifically for the Scyk (only).

[though I'm still waiting for a mood to approve it since it's my first post]

A Skipray Blastboat would make me uber happy.

I want a hug.

Thanks for all the great responses guys!

But just so it's clear I'm referring to what state of the game you'd most enjoy, not what you want included.

(But sure you can have a virtual hug Fuzzywookie)
