Heroes YT-1300

By Stovrose38, in X-Wing

Do you think the YT-1300 is getting a new dial?

I feel like it may have slight changes, maybe the color pattern, but other than that probably not.

No.

It's getting a title that gives it sloops instead.

because of the title, i doubt it.

ner

they should've taken the opprotunity to give it a mobile arc

they didn't

so it's going to be the same sh*tty falcon, with a crappy new title that favors high PS pilots and new high PS pilots (save chewie) with new pilot abilities, or rather the same ole Han with a new pilot ability

better than PS 9 poe, I guess

If it had a new dial, that dial probably wouldn't work with the old pilots because the new YT-1300 would be a different ship.

to be fair, they could have easily made it a different falcon entirely.

"Ancient YT-1300" to indicate its much older due to TFA times.

Just do the same thing TIE fighters do. All the "YT-1300 Only" stuff works on both.

Based on what is shown in the spread they didn't do that. The pilot cards and the dial are labeled "YT-1300" the same as the original expansion.

Hence why i said "could have"

i know they didnt.

They should have made the YT1300 a Scum ship anyway. Or at least the Han Solo version. I love Han, but he was Scum for like 3/4 of his life. We find him in Episode 4 as Scum, he's a Rebel for a few years(Episode 4-6) then I guess he's "New Republic" for a few years, then we meet him again in Episode 7 and he's Scum again. He really has more business with Scum than Rebels(if you forget about the whole helping the Rebellion blow up both Death Stars and all that) And FFG, had a chance with Heroes of the Resistance to make a Scum ship card and base, but that didn't happen.

he was also introduced long before scum was a thing.

and hes kinda stuck with rebels because Leia.

That's true, but FFG could have given us a Scum version in Heroes. I guess we'll just have to wait until the Han Solo movie comes out, because you know he'll be Scum in that(or maybe an Imperial Cadet, depending on how they write it)

Just what scum need, more goodies

compared to the jm5k, it's more of a baddie :P

No, if scum get it, they'll actually give it a pretty good upgrade bar, better abilities, and introduce even more scum only BS cards.

Having seen Rey's arc-based ability I'm quietly hopeful.

I haven't acquired a Falcon to date, despite its iconic status, simply because it seems unutterably dull to actually fly the thing. But because Rey actually rewards good flying I will be getting Heroes of the Resistance - my fingers are crossed for Han and Chewie to have arc-based abilities too!

what, like the firespray?

...too soon :P ?

Scum firespray is NOT a bad ship. Its terrible compared to the absolute bullcrap they got later so it got completely overshadowed.

Like ive said several times before: just give me those bloody pilot abilities in imperial and i'll use that firespray. The imperial ones might as well not even have abilities, as boba is 100% useless, kath is purely a negative effect pilot ability (i'd rather hit...), and Krassis rerolls 1 die with his 2ndary weapon.....which rarely does anything because its a singular dice and since HLC is wayyy too pricy on a firespray i'd rather fire main gun most of the time.

All 3 of those pilots in Scum have awesome abilities: Boba is a nasty knifefighter, Kath loves doing flyby's with rear arc (her and backdraft 4ever), and krassis can pull some really comical bomb shenanigans.

Sure, the ship is still slightly overpriced, i never said it was an optimal ship for scum, i just said it was actually pretty good due to the pilot abilities (not even mentioning illicit mind you) and just gets overshadowed by literally every other large ship bs that scum have. Firespray actually feels like a large ship to fly, its clunky but not impossible, why on earth would you ever fly it over an aggressor or a jm5k or lancer? Even the Hound's Tooth is better, but not for the same reasons so it doesnt look like it at first glance.

Lol nah Firesprays competitively speaking are got hot garbage.

The yt1300 in this pack won't be much different

. Ffg will never allow the Falcon to be where it user to be so it will remain with the old falcon collecting dust. The abilities are gonna be lackluster I bet. Hopefully some of the t70 guys are playable and have ept's and a high ps.

Yes, a brand new dial. New focus tokens. New target lock tokens. Etc.

well if you wanna get technical...the targetlocks are literally new targetlocks (theyre the symbol thingies)

Looks like this thing is going to get multiple modifications and an illicit slot. And come with new types of illicit upgrades. I think it's going to be awesome! Fat Han won't need any wingmen. You'll be able to put 100 points on Han - and you'll win! (OK maybe I exaggerated that a bit. It's still going to be very fun.)

Uhh I don't think those are Target Locks. Probably components for the mission. The symbols are the same color, and considering some abilities indicate color of the target locks (Blue or red), that seems pretty important.

Hopefully the unnamed YT-1300 has the full statline unlike the original Outer Rim Smuggler.

As long as it still has that missile slot! I can't live without that missile slot!

Ya I can't imagine them giving it the ORS statline, especially since to have any possibility of being competitive, it would have to cost probably 2 or 3 points fewer than the ORS, which doesn't seem like something FFG would want to do. A pity smuggling compartment doesn't give a discount of like 4 points to pilots PS 2 or lower to help out the ORS and WSF.
