The Problems With This Preview Article

By Firespray-32, in X-Wing

...are for once all petty things we can laugh about rather than fuel for a month long forum debate (lookin' at you, K-wing.)

As of Wave 9 X-Wing has 197 pilot cards. 197. Yes, I did count all the cards just for the purpose of this comedicy nitpicky post.

But still, 197.

And they chose one of the two who inherently doesn't care about flying over stress clouds.

To add to that, 167 are below PS8 but they went for one of the 30 that thanks to the core pilot skill mechanic are going to just fly into that rock anyway.

So it isn't Ketsu Onyo throws Tycho off her tail, it's Ketsu throws a cloud in Tycho's face that he can do nothing but fly into and not care about it that much.

Second nitpick:

NECROMANCY CONFIRMED

Edited by Blue Five

Uh, like half the x wing pilots were corpses as of the transport. Necromancy been around for a while.

They're all Galactic Civil War era pilots.

Ventress died in the Clone Wars.

NEXT UP ON THE NITPICK EXPRESS:

The first card that is unusable with just the ship it comes with and the Core Set:

You need the Aggressor expansion to use it.

Does Most Wanted not count?

:lol: :D :)

The IG-2000 title has the same issue. You need two Aggressors to use it.

Out of curiosity, what is the source of Ventress's death? I've seen all of the Clone Wars episodes, and she was very much alive by the end.

There are a large number of pilots in the game that died before Poe was born. You can't really nitpick individual bits of temporal inconsistencies because the entire game is one.

It's kind of a spoiler. I'll message it to you.

It is also the kind of thing that I could see being temporary.

Wait until HotR comes out and someone flys Rey. There'd be enough temporal anomolies that even The Doctor would have a hard time sorting things out.

They also used the wrong (uncorrected) Tractor Beam Token card.

Thank you for your consideration. :)

You guys are just trying to score the Bingo card, aren't you?

The book they made of the episodes they were going to make, Dark Disciple. She dies in a plot to assassinate Dooku.

Didn't ventres come back in Rebels? A lot of clone wars guys did; even some clones!

If not, her inclusion in X-Wing may be a spoiler :P

Nah. She's a corpse.

Temporal anomalies aside, most of the ships in the game didn't exist when she died, let alone the pilots.

The Z-95, the Y-wing, the YTs and the ARC are about it.

They're all Galactic Civil War era pilots.

Ventress died in the Clone Wars.

You need the Aggressor expansion to use it.

But this way you can get the synergy with only one Aggressor and one Shadow Caster. You're not forced to buy two Aggressors if you don't want to.

I just hope she will!!!!

It is an interesting card. Makes things like Sable's Firespray Brobot work in a more broboty manner.

I think FFG is trolling us all at this point. And may I add, it is pretty charming.

Agreed. At this point I think it's basically FFG's Easter Egg program: release technical or nit pick errors for people to hunt.

I think the reason she is a pilot is due to the fact that the ship was actually made to be used by her in Clone Wars, but when they had to stop production on those episodes they just ended up using the asset, the ship, they created later in Rebels.

Doctor who?

Are you sure. I thought it was pretty well established that Poe was a child during the rebellion via Star Wars Shattered Empire? He was no pilot but alive at least :P Maybe I read that timeline wrong.

Doctor who?

The hologram from Voyager, of course.
