Wave 10

By Cubanboy, in X-Wing

Interesting - "I'll Show You the Dark Side" lets you deal critical damage through shields - you are dealt a faceup damage card instead of suffering critical damage. That could hurt!

Did I misread? Pretty sure it said "when you are dealt critical damage..."

It changes suffering critical damage into being dealt a faceup damage card.

kylo ren's ability...is that seriously worth 3pts? AND an action?

You can fish it into a determination EPT user but other than that...that is terrible. The pilot crits are lethal on most ships!

Sounds pretty stupid to place it on an enemy with determination..

Is that an EPIC action I see on the Upsilon shuttle? ...I don't know how I feel about that. They are either introducing actions from epic play into regular or this far-to-small ship is epic? hmm...

Or it has an action that can only be used in Epic play?

It could just be a new type of action but I don't see a reference card.

Yes thats the Coordinate action icon from epic. Yaknow the one nobody uses because huge ships are action-starved and cant take free actions? probably why its coming to the normal game, plus its not as broken as reinforce would be lol

And its going to open a lot of Ace shenanigans....think BB8 + PTL ...

I was thinking that there weren't enough TIE Fighter models in the game, so we needed a 5th one in a new set of colors.

I kinda like the look of the Quadjumper though.

My take to the Wave 10 announcement:

Sabine's TIE- Don't see a need for it, unless you want to play all three Rebels TV show ships together. Might pick it up for the upgrades.

Upsilon Shuttle- Figured this would be in sometime. Conditions look interesting, another wrinkle in gameplay, which is almost always a good thing. Shuttle itself looks like an upgrade of the Lambda, 4 attack is nice, as is the 12 hp.

Quadhopper- Just when I thought FFG had started to give Scum good small ships with the Protectorate, we get this pos. Why give us a tugboat? There are so many small fighters that aren't Rebel/Imp that you could pick but we get the junkyard scavenger ship?

I will take 3 Rebel Ties, and a Shuttle and a Quad I'm very excited about this release. As I am for Wave 9 as well. I wonder if vector thrusters can be assigned to the Rebel Ties... Hmmm

Edit. Anyone know if the Shuttle has 1 or 2 crew slots

The Kylo Ren pilot card has:

1 System

1 EPT

2 Crew

2 Tech

Ok.

So how are we going to use the Matt the Radar technician card?

Ok.

Action- Choose 1 Friendly ship within Range 1-3 and raise it's primary attack value by 1. At the end of the turn, the target ship is dealt one damage card.

The thing with giving us another fighter is that it's just going to be a slight variation on the existing choices. Quadjumper has me excited because it looks like it's going to add some utility and control options that don't eat up almost half your list to include. The PS3 gives a tractor token to every ship it is touching at the end of the Activation phase. It looks like it has an illicit that allows it do something with the upgrade cards from destroyed ships, and a mod that assigns tractor tokens to ships in arc, it comes with two crew that let you do something when touching another ship. One of the crew looks like it will let you change the maneuver on a ship you are touching.

This ship and its upgrades look like they embrace what Scum is all about.

I think it's means that instead of drawing a random card for the critical damage you take the card on the condition card. It will not pass through shields since that would be ridiculous.

You may be right. I'm just unhappy that Scum has so many screwed up fighters right now and the only thing we get is a control piece. Just rubs me the wrong way. It may be a really good ship down the line, but right now I feel like its a letdown. Kinda hard to follow up Mandalorian elites with junkyard purveyors.

Lots of new Tech options from the Upsilon could be good things for the T-70 and TIE/FO and /SF, too. More illicit options are good for YTs, the new TIE Fighter, and Scum of course.

A Debt to Pay looks neat. Place that on the most troublesome pilot in your enemies list and get a free focus to crit until they die. For free. You know who'll love that? Norra Wexley. Save that focus token for defense and rely on that EPT for her modified offense.

We don't even know what the Vets, or epic pack for Wave 10 is yet. They've done Imp Vets, HotR, scum has gotta be next, one way or another.

Quadjumper? Seriously? My faith in FFG just got shaken.

The Upsilon Shuttle is an awesome design and I'm really happy to see it.

I really don't like Rebels getting a repainted TIE Fighter. It just feels like it blurs the factions too much. Would have much preferred a unique Rebel ship. Also don't like how Rebels keep getting Illicit upgrades; again, it blurs the factions too much.

The Quadjumper is a surprising but very neat-looking choice. Six speed 1 maneuvers... So does it have a 1 K-turn? LOL.

Condition cards... Well, they're a fun idea, but I feel they might overcomplicate the game. You have to keep track of much more stuff with just a few of them.
