GenCon 2016 Predictions?

By patox, in X-Wing

I wonder now if it might be a campaign box like the Armada one.

would be nice if it was rogue squadron pack!! with upgrades that ONLY help the T-65s and Rebel Ys .. would contain all the rogue squadron pilots!

With the teaser that there is a campaign box set coming out for Armada, I suspect that there may be something similar for X-wing.

As to Rogue one, and all its Tanks, AT-ACT's and primarily atmospheric TIE strikers, I suspect there may be a ground based combat game or expansion. It would be a good way to add in some new mechanics, such as new dice types - green dice on fighters may be replaced by different coloured (and different allocation of symbols) as those ships would fly differently in atmosphere.

Make it compatible, but seperate.

Games will be played and hearts will be broken.

Things will be bought and people will cosplay. Wave 9 will be on sale and small children will be given coffee and puppies if their parents let them run around.

Rogue 1 ships will be the next wave which will come out in Dec 1 week before the movie.

You forgot dogs and cats living together, mass hysteria!

I guess instead of an entire sector maybe a campaign over a planet.

I haven't watched the show, but given all the Rebels ships we're getting (ghost/phantom, inq tie, pfighter; shadowcaster) we could get a campaign with a similar narrative of following a ragtag group o rebels as they attempt to subvert imperial control across a sector

Only problem is that you're basically contractually obligated to fly a Corellia freighter if youre the main character :P

My prediction is that we will all be pleasantly surprised and let down at the same time.

And a scum Huge ship...

I'm not holding my breath when it comes to a Huge ship for Scum. Maybe someday. But I don't think that day will be soon.

Problem with scum huge is that we can't package it with anything if scum aces is gonna be the scyk viper and specialK

Then scyk might be do ****** it needs two releases

And if it's the corvette from Empire At War (forces of corruption) then we could get our Shadows of the empire Viper in there

I'm thinking we'll see the N-1 Starfighter and a Hoth starfield battle mat amongst other things already suggested in previous posts.

Who's excited for GenCon?

I felt very strongly at the end of last year that 2016 would herald the announcement of the Scum epic ship, to be released in 2017. Now, it's possible it won't happen at GenCon, but I really feel it's on its way.

It's on.

Curious if they are revealing something new at all. Probably to early for Rogue One stuff.

What I would like to see is a completely different thing :)

A Khiraxz, Scyk, Viper fix. Scum Huge, a dirty transport!

A small based dedicated bomber ala K-Wing or Punisher is still missing for Scum.

Something cool small based for the rebel fraction.

About how long do you expect till something new is announced at gen con?

Tomorrow, when they do their In Flight Report.
