I would love a Rogue 1 X and y pack, new pilots, new generics I love the idea for the PS5 with EPT Y wing.

T-65 'fix' could be a title 'fit and extra 0 point modification', there's your Integrated astromech slot built in basically. Or chips if you're that way inclined.

Fix or no, i'd love to have this set.

Edit, Although what I really want is a 0 point Astromech

None of this = the dreaded 5 x wing swarm but could be fun.

Tech slots will not be given to any pre-Force Awakens ships, because the entire point of the slot is to represent 30-odd years of advancement.

This again?

E-wing late series ARE "new" with 30 years-ish advancement from early T65s.

So yes, one more reason to give them tech slot via a "Series III / IV" title.

i'd more say they wouldnt get a tech because it feels like its strictly "New Movie" upgrade than anything else.

Gotta give the current media stuff a special flare, otherwise why bother amirite?

if they snuck in a Rebel Vets along Rogue One, the Xwing would be in there not the Ewing.

Some new rebel ywing pilots WITH A BLOODY EPT would be awesome. Honestly though, aside from adding an EPT or some new pilot abilities not sure what else the ywing needs lol. Only reason the generic is used and not the named guys is because even the named guys have no EPT and their abilities are lackluster at best so go with the budget ship instead.

Veterans always have 2 ships. X and E. I don't understand why people keep saying X instead of E. Every single standalone pack has had 2 ships in it.

[Hides Imperial Aces in closet...]

This again?

Heroes of the Resistance is the Rebel counterpart to Imperial Veterans.

Y-Wings do not need any kind of 'fix', because they are fine as they are now.

A-Wings do not need any kind of 'fix', because they are fine as they are now.

Tech slots will not be given to any pre-Force Awakens ships, because the entire point of the slot is to represent 30-odd years of advancement.

There is not going to be another starter set only a year after the last one.

There is little reason to believe that FFG will completely abandon any existing ship because of EU origins - case in point, the Defender.

The non-Corran E-Wings will most easily be fixed through the Astromech slot; then, whatever form it takes, it cannot stack with shield regen and break Corran.

The fixes for the Starviper and Scyk will likely be in a S+V Epic ship, a S+V equivalent to Heroes of the Resistance/Imperial Veterans, or spread over both.

The missing product code might be one of those, or may well just be a mat or some accessory like the coloured bases. Whatever it is, we probably won't see it before next year.

The mythical X-Wing 'fix' is not going to involve turning it into a carbon copy of the T-70, or anything to do with S-Foils. In my opinion, there will never be a single, dedicated 'fix' card for it.

I agree with you on this 100%. I would also add that the X-wings, T65 and T70 do not need fixes as dramatic as everyone is making them out to be in my opinion. Not as desperately as other ships which are almost never fielded competitively by any pilot.

Right now I see a lot of balance, your just as likely to see a T65 as you are an A-Wing, an Interceptor, or a Phantom. Right now I feel you can build around your favorite ship and have a decent list if flown well. Hell, I'm taking a T65, T70, and Hawk for regionals!

A rebel HWK? You, sir, have my respect. I'm guessing Roark?

I jumped to Roark cause he's the one rebel HWK i haven't done much with that I keep hearing love for.

I was skeptical about FAQ fixing everything, but I'm pretty sure FFG can just FAQ whatever the heck they want!

Just yesterday, they nuked U-Boats and magically fixed scyks with a new FAQ...

I can see it now: next FAQ all the T-65 cards except Biggs say "this card should have the boost action, barrel roll action, cloak action, reinforce action, another EPT slot, and two more shields..."

Maybe they're assuming it'll be like Imperial Aces (Interceptor x2) and be X-wing x2?

apart from the tfa core set ffg like to announce stuff very early

Concerning Y-wings: An expansion does not necessarily need a fix. It is enough if the diversity gets increased by releasing new pilots

not before they FAQ in some epts for the old ones

One Rebel, One Partisan.

I'd like to see a 'Aces' pack with a Partisan X and a Grey Sqdrn Y.

Not sure if any of the core characters from R1 could be expected to be Pilots, but also couldn't see how they would keep a strong connection to the movie without such...?

Hotr IS technically the counterpart to imp vets

Personally - I hope this gives reason to just give us a hero's of the first order and a rebel veterans pack at some point

(though really what the yt-1300 needed was a mobile arc...swing and a miss, ffg )

this is the second time ive seen you say this and i asked before.. why would anyone buy a mobile arc when the original 360 arc exists. whats the advantage?

There is one semi-core T-70 pilot character in TFA, it was enough for three expansions.

I'm sure there will be more than enough background characters:

cheaper point cost, better gameplay

Three reasons:

Less freedom = pointscost reduction, so you can probably squeeze Corran into a Fat han build and not sac anything.

Its a PRINTED ARC so "in firing arc" shenanigans exist, such as Tactician, Finn, Denying autothrustors, etc etc.

Better gameplay, since a 360 turret is just "dont hit a rock!" mentality. Borrrring!
