What do you hope SWX58 is vs. What do you really think SWX58 is

By JJFDVORAK, in X-Wing

Hope it's a complete campaign expansion themed to rogue one but contains so many spoilers they couldn't release it before the movie and contains a new xwing with paint job and fixes.

That actually makes alot of sense. I now think it will be some Rogue One related product that just couldn't be shown do to spoilers.

Its Rogue 1 ships that were kept seekret due to spoilers.

But I hope its the long overdue Scum epic w/Jabba crew.

A Deathstar.

Not in scale with the ships, obviously.

Cheers

Baaa

LAZY ASS...

Was going to buy one of these for the computer room, but it is way overpriced for what would amount to a decoration. Hopefully I'll find it on a discount at some point. I'm confident at some point soon my wife is going to snap from all my star wars spending lately.

I got mine for (both of them) for $12 each. I user a clear-green template to mark the area of effect the station has. I have steel shelves above my tables and can suspend goodies like this over the game area. So while it is not in scale it is affecting things off in the distance, just like in the films.

:)

I just got that sexy new ISD Rogue One style for $15. It is going to do the same thing in my games; hang over the table looking all cool and fec-tin-stuff!

:lol:

Given the enjoyment I've found in the cinematic campaigns with the epic ships, I'm hoping for a campaign box set.

I'm expecting it was going to be official FFG acrylic templates and they cancelled them.

A Deathstar.

Yea, I see that one now. I was looking at the pro kit on Amazon for ~$170. I went a little crazy Black Friday weekend though on a bunch of Star Wars stuff and other upgrades to the cave. Might have to look at grabbing the less expensive one. Especially since I'm apparently going to be able to get my hands on a couple of U-wings and Strikers in a couple of weeks.

4.The Gunboat. Alot of people really want it and FFG would make alot of money making it.(way more than Sabine's Tie, am I right?)

I thought I heard someone say Gunboat when I was browsing the main page threads :ph34r:

Yeah we don't buy this kind of thing for the reason Unc Milt made it.

After today's episode of rebels, it is crystal clear that SWX58 will be "Sabine's TIE Defender".

It will have additional illicit slot, astromech, and probably a crew slot too.

And Wedge Antilles -Teen- will surely be there as alternate pilot too.

Perhaps:

A Partisan-scheme X-Wing with pilots cards, base plates and dials for both Rebel AND Scum - first dual faction ship in the one pack!

(Possibly even a two ship pack with the blue markings X-Wing also)

Hope:

* Rebel Veterans with R1 X&Y (I know HotR was inferred to be a "Veterans" pack, but no reason not to all use the moniker)

* Scum Aces with StarViper (red Black Sun markings) & Khixarz (Black Sun Ace)

* Scum Veterans with Scyk (TPV) & one of the two listed immediately above

* Scum triple-ship Aces/Veterans (someone came up with a good Most Wanted style name) with all three from the previous 2 points. (probably least likely)

* Scum Epic with Star Jewel (1-2 Z's optional).

Can't see any reason for delay on any but the first, so...

Expect:

Something R1 related, likely with an X.

Check the final shot of this TV spot. Tell me SWX58 isn't going to be a Rogue One set...

Scum Aces. If not then why not? Would make sense with the Imp Vets and HOTR release. And while a Rogue 1 release would make some sense it also would not for release quatity. It would give the Rebels a total release count between HOTR and the new wave of 6 new ships while imps have 4 and scum are just getting the quadjumper. So a scum release makes the most sense.

So long story short i both hope and believe it will be some sort of scum aces pack.

You make a good point. Couldn't the Partisan X-wing be a scum ship. They could release something like the most wanted pack that has two x wings (or one x wing and an e-wing,...at least in my dreams). With scum pilots. It could still have some x-wing (e-wing) only titles that would still work for the rebel x/e-wings and give is the "x-wing fix".

Back before much was known about Rogue One, there was a Lego promotion that appeared to have a picture of a Firespray as a graphic representing Rogue One Lego sets. If Boba Fett has an appearance in the movie (perhaps one that explains why Vader specifically told him "no disintegrations"), we may be getting a HotR style scum pack with a Firespray and a small ship.

I hope it's an X/E veterans pack. I think it's an X/Y veterans pack.

"No disintegrations" is a reference to Boba Fett killing Owen and Beru. Poor moisture farmers never had a chance.

What? Fett didn't kill Owen and Beru. That was Stormtroopers. I think you mean it was Vader's instructions in regards to finding the Millennium Falcon and its passengers in ESB.

What I hope for:

Scum Epic with included Kihraxz with Black Sun paint-job and tweaks for it and the StarViper.

What I think it is:

Rogue One themed (Partisan X-Wing) Core Set to be relevant to get new players involved. Will include some tweaks for X-Wings. Still won't get it right.

Edit: Oh yeah, also it was cancelled by higher ups after it and later items were designed, and will not be released. Since later SKU's had already been assigned and made public before the axe came down, they did not want to reshuffle things and SWX58 is dead in the water and will never be seen.

I know i already posted a hope here but now i have a new hope ( :lol:):

SWX58 will be Spaceballs 2: The search for more money, movie, FFGs games and miniatures that are compatible to the X-Wing game :D

Edited by Iceeagle85

Rogue One Starter Set with:

Alternate paint scheme x-wing

Alternate paint scheme a-wing

Alternate paint scheme y-wing

AND NO FIXES FOR ANYTHING! I love playing underdog x-wings. Just like the real rebels were in the movies.

If it's scum anything I'll probably cry from disappointment.

Want: Scum Aces (but don't see why it would not be revealed)

Expect: R1 based core set

Want to see the world burn: T-65 fix included in new core set is Scum only.

I hope it's scum epic I think it's rogue one...play mat?

It's an interesting theory... But how about we stick to what actually happens in the movies? As opposed to fan-based extrapolation.

Fun topic!

What I hope it is:

A Corsec Green T-65 X-Wing with pilot cards for Corran Horn, Tycho Celchu, and all other original ´Legend´ Rogue Squadron Pilots. Also includes Whistler the Astromecht and Wedge´s astromech (Gate if I recall correctly)

Also added are Vectored Thrusters, Integrated Astromech, and Rogue Squadron Pilot title

What I think it is:

An X-wing in Partisan Colours in a Rogue One / Rebel Veterans / Early Rebels expansion pack, possibly joined by an extra Y-wing miniature

All with new pilots and stuff to improve the game for two long serving fan-favorites.

So maybe it is not going exactly what I hope for, I know I´ll probably like it a lot! :lol:

A ground set is silly, that would be a whole new game and not just an expansion.

I hope it isn't the Star Jewel, to me the Wild Karrde makes much more sense, nor am I desparate for Jabba in Spaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaace!

A Rogue One campaign set would be wonderful. It would tie in with the Armada campaign set, the articles about combining the RPG and X-Wing and the Fly Casual article.

Is there any way to see what timeframe SWX58 was reserved? When was 57 and when was 59 announced?

Hoping for...a Wild Karrde Epic (coz I'm having no luck finding a 3D-printable model of one that doesn't end up with loads of 'holes' :( )

...expecting...an X/Y expansion like many others have mentioned - which will be just fine, too :)
