Books and Comic books finally getting into the game!

By Stone37, in X-Wing

As a huge fan of the new (and canon) books and comic books, I was so excited to see Shara Bey (Poe's mom and star of Shattered Empire comic books) and Norra Wexley (Temmin "Snap" Wexley's mom and star of the Aftermath books)!

While I'm not thrilled with the ship they've introduced them with, I'm hoping that this means we will soon get some new Y-wings pilots, as that is where Shara Bey belongs and Norra would fit there as well.

Sill holding out hope for pilot cards for Princess Leia, Ciena Ree, and Thane Kyrell. Anyone else rooting for a new pilot from one of the books or comic books?

Thane is also one of the ARC pilots. Along with Braylen Stramm, who is from a canon short story.

Ciena will be coming to Armada, likely as a commander.

I'm with you that I'm excited to see these characters, but the ship choice feels off. Though it's not like they had an opportunity to give them their proper ships, A, Y, X, and B.

Who is the 4th ARC pilot? I just realized they are all unique named pilots. I'm on a small monitor right now and can't make out the name...

You mean "new Disney canon comics and books" are getting into the game.

This game is largely built off the Legends EU

Braylen stream from blade squadron stories.

Norra in a Ywing. Shara would be in an A.

N-1 Leia confirmed?

I'm excited to get all of these pilots in the game, I just wish we could get them in the ships that they're associated with - Braylen in a B-Wing, Thane in an X-Wing, Shara in an A-Wing, Norra in a Y.

Now that FFG is spreading its wings a bit in terms of porting pilots from one ship to another, I still hold out some hope that we'll see that someday.

This puts us one step closer to seeing the Ark Angel on the field, along with Dr Aphra, Triple Zero and BT-1 crew cards.

At that point, I'll be able to die a happy man.

And definitely not because Triple Zero has harvested your blood as precious fuel. Definitely not.

No if he is harvesting my blood I am sure it is just for kicks. Definitely not for any practical reason.

N-1 Leia confirmed?

I think seeing the ARC opens the door. Perhaps take the same route... 4 unique pilots and no generics. They are not common and only named pilots have a place in the game.

Leia has her own ship (and crew) in the Bloodline book as well. That's another option. In older (now "Legends") material, she flew a Y-wing. Here's hoping our favorite Disney princess gets her long overdue pilot card soon.

Her bloodline ship has basically no info about how it looks beyond "curvy".

FFG invented the Raider, so they have more to go on than that ship! lol

I see the ship as being an upgrade to Amidala's ship. It's faster, sneakier, and (because Leia is not an idealist) can blast its way out of trouble if need be.

Has anyone read the new "Aftermath" book? I don't mean the first one. I mean the 2nd one that just came out (or is it even out yet?).

Norra in a Y-wing? Let's see....she can spend a TL and get to add a Focus result to her total? So...she could shoot 5 dice Proton Torpedoes! Maybe even not need a Focus to turn that into a crit. :) Of course, there are a ton of ways to give her free TL or Focus. What about her firing a turret for an extra die? Dorsal Turret at R1 would give her 3 dice and a Focus. That's pretty good. Or....Autoblaster Turrets. Make sure you have a Focus and she will be definitely getting one hit through!

Shara as an A-wing pilot isn't nearly so exciting. She can give her TL to anyone around her. Meh.

Life Debt is not released till July.

Doesn't the ARC have a torp slot, too?

The galaxy is a big place ... yet it feels that everyone we see is directly related somehow. Is there a character that isn't the father, mother, brother, sister, room mate, partner, etc. to someone else?

Challenge, our planet has 6-7 billion people on it. Go and high 5 a thousand randoms .. chance of a relationship between them??

I agree, that does not sound like the skill of an advanced A-wing pilot. Perhaps it should have been she can treat anyone else's Blue TL token as her own.

It does and will be an interesting Y-wing replacement option for the Rebels. Might even consider using an APT on Nora!

A Volt Cobra, please.

It's called good genes, and parents teaching their skills to their children. Happens all the time.

Archie Manning = NFL quarterback

Had three sons, two of which are superbowl winning quarterbacks.

Del Curry = NBA player

Had two sons, both who are NBA basketball players

Mario Andretti and Michael Andretti

Ken Griffey Sr. and Ken Griffey Jr.

Bobby Bonds and Barry Bonds

Unfortunately, we can't fit Poe, the Wexlys, and Shara Bey all in one list. Because Mother's Day needs to happen.

Now they know how poor Vader feels.

That will soon be a valid title for a Rebel list.
