The Rebel TIE

By Sir Orrin, in X-Wing

I was happy with Wave 8, wave 9 is growing on me. I even think The Upsilon Shuttle will be cool.

but my favortie ship, the TIE fighter, IS NOW A REBEL SHIP!!!!!!

This cannot be happening.

SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!!

I want to die...

There's a rebel TIE but Biggs isn't a pilot...bummer.

I think it's pretty good.

Can't wait to pair these up with my VCX, easily my fav rebel ship... :)

To add insult to injury for those opposed to it, i'm using Sabine's paint job model in my Empire fleet.

the salt might actually inspire me to buy more than one (ie, the one bought to get Captain Rex for my ARC)

She's the new Rebel Wampa, in that she's a dirt cheap ace that you arguably can't ignore. Sure, with no upgrades she's just an action efficient TIE, but throw on the title for some Slicer Tools and an Intel Agent, and hooooo boy... For a paltry 18 points, you have something that can screw with PTL aces.

Whether we see swarms of them will depend on what the other pilot abilities are.

Probably more of a cheap ship to support proper tooled up aces.

So the Empire cannot receive any small ship that isn't a TIE because apparently that would dilute their identity, but they will freely hand out a TIE to the damned rebel terrorists?!?

Let's just say that as an Imperial player, the last several waves have been garbage. The only good expansion we've gotten has been Imperial Vets.

Or the shielded ones from the Battle of Adumar.

**** straight. Gonna get 8 of those, peg them out as PS 4 Anything-But-Black Pilots, and crush the Rebels with Swag Squadron. The rise of Imperial Flower Power!!

The pilot choice seems pretty downright lazy considering that Wedge is showing up in the Season 3 trailer as a TIE Pilot along with two other Rebel TIE guys, but Ashoka never popped in one.

Full points sir

oh right

I forgot how nobody used the inquisitor ever

Or Omega Leader. Or Wampa. Or all three of those in one list.

don't know if also we count palpatine and new vader due to how hilariously delayed they were

but they were post worlds, i.e Wave 7

The Inquisitor is the one exception. The other pilots aren't any good, but the Inquisitor is great. Does one good pilot and three duds make an expansion good though?

considering how borked stupid good the inquisitor is, hell yes

Releases aren't announced the moment they're created. Development takes some time. And we found out about Wedge as a TIE pilot less than a month ago. FFG would've found out at the same time, after they'd already decided on a Sabine's TIE expansion. Besides, how many other opportunities were they going to get to add Ahsoka to the game? Had the Ghost expansion been released later, I'm sure she would've a crew option for it and maybe even a pilot for the Attack Shuttle. But it came too early for that, so anything they put Ahsoka in will be something she never actually flew on the show.

Besides, Wedge was never going to happen regardless. There was just never going to be a Rebel TIE pilot with PS9.

Yeah, you clearly haven't flown the other V1s. I love Rudor.

Asmodee are seeing just how many TIEs punters will buy.

It really hurts that they got a tie at all... But they got a better tie fighter with that combo of PS, ability, EPT, and title. The rebels have a better tie fighter than the imperials.

Talk about cutting your nose to spite your face.

a rebel tie? I was thinking about starting not now , tells me all i need to too about your ability or willingness to balance the game.
