YES! Rebel ARC-170, AND new model for the TIE/SF!

By KCDodger, in X-Wing

YES!

YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES

New model for the TIE/sf? You mean it's not just a TIE/fo with a little aerial nub on top and a red stripe painted on it?

Yes, VERY happy they're bringing in a Republic ship, finally. Odd choice, mebbe (I'd have bet on the V-Wing), but great nonetheless.

The SF TIE was pretty much a shoo-in; next oughta be Ren's shuttle!

I also like the Mando ship; the only one I'll pass on is the huge Star Trekkie-lookin' thing.

And gears at the base of the wings.

Maybe it's not enough for you, but the new Resistance Falcon really likes it.

MAN I love this wave. Smarter turrets, too! WAY smarter turrets! Oh MAN this is gonna be a great wave! All that talk for all that time...

"The SF won't get its own model, it's barely different."
"The ARC-170 would just be an Imperial unit anyway."
"There will never be a prequel ship in this game."

ALL DISPROVEN.

Dual arcs on both.

And both give bonuses to using their arcs together as ship-specific titles.

Thought #1: Poor Firesprays, I was hoping the Cool Bonus would have been a crew so they could join the party.

Thought #2: ... Dual arcs with a free crew slot? Tacticians. Tacticians everywhere.

A Clone War Ship in X-wing? :o SKY IS FALLLINGGGGGGG!!!!! :P

That's cool, there could still be Clone war factions with cross faction ships and all.

I do have to say one detractor, Imperials still don't have a turret slot. :(

You know, that does kinda such I'll go ahead and admit.

You did see that there is a Tail Gunner crew card, right?

Odd that we're getting Poe's mother as an ARC-170 pilot though, seeing as canonically she piloted A-wings. Also, I would've expected her to be higher PS than 6.

Yes, and despite the obvious Comms Relay on the sf model, the ship itself cannot make use of the Comms Relay upgrade. WTF FFG? Only two agility and no evade? That new Tech upgrade had better be killer.

Now that we have the ARC-170 coming to the game, the door may now be open (ever so slightly) for other clone war era ships like the Republic/Imperial V Wing.

I am full hype for the ARC

Agreed with the OP, loving this wave so far

...looking forward to seeing if anyone really does rage quit over Clone War era ships....

I find it interesting that there are no generic pilots. Interested to see what they bring to the game

Call me Captain Asswit, but I hope they do. It'd get some venom out.
