2016 was a big year for me for Xwing. Continued down the dark path accumulating even more ships and even built my Death Star trench which will last me years. I flew T65s to the Nationals and North American championships and held my own. Rogue One was good and didn't let me down. Started with a new group at the local shop minutes from home with players mostly new to the game... 100/6 games are intermixed with HotAC, epic and scenarios. A perfect mix.

2017 - I'd really like to see something that either strengthens the joust game or brings balance to the game. The classic rebel fighters are pretty sad right now while anything newly released eclipses them.

Happy Friday everybody! I'm just hopeful that the First Order likes the tie interceptor concept so I can get something that flies like it with a tech slot.

H2017CB!

My favourite ship in 2016? The Kihraxz. It done me proud.

What do I want to see in 2017? You know what I want to see in 2017...

Naboo N-1 starfighter?

I know what you want....

For later, when you tell your children about 2016:

Happy new year!

Favorites: Scum small ships (Khiraxz, Scyk, G1A, Viper).

What i'd like to see 2017 x-wing-wise:

A campaign box.

Slower release speed. It feels like it's getting difficult to keep up, not just money-wise, but also with the accelerating complexity, if you have limited play time.

Less red dice power creep.

Some love for the ships which start to fall behind seriously.

In 2017 I want to know what x58 was. Pretty good chance at this point it's a **** canned idea. What the hell was it?

Happy new year indeed... Can it be worse than last year?

Scum- Epic! With any of the three small fighter fixes

Rebels- you get nothing! Nothing!!! Ok... Partisan xwings...

Empire- anything except the gunboat or avenger please... Tie/droid or Tie predator!

Favorite ship- really enjoying the striker. Man it has some holes in matchup a though.

Happy new year indeed... Can it be worse than last year?

Shuddup, shuddup, shuddup. There's still a few more hours, don't challenge the female dog.

Dec 25: friend unwraps a core set for Christmas that I thought might make a nice gift. He seemed to enjoy the game.

Dec 31: I receive a picture. It looks like a store inventory picture of Star Wars Xwing stuff with the line "mistakes were made." Seriously, $800 worth of ships and that's a conservative number I came up with.

I'm so getting dark side points for this... C’mon 2017!

Empire- anything except the gunboat or avenger please...

2016 was when I first got into X-Wing, and I've plunged all-in. Hoping to see a Scum Epic in 2017. Also hoping to see some new crew for the Rebels that synergize with other ships around them to make the Uwing even more fun to fly.

Wait....Rebels are all about unique pilots and crew that synergize with each other all the time. If you just got into the game, aren't they all new? I mean, you just described most Rebel pilots and/or unique crew right there as what you are looking for.

Most of the crew I've seen benefit the ship they are on, not the ships nearby. Jan, Jyn, and Kanan are the only ones that seem to help other ships I can think of.

That's it? What about:

• Garven Dreis
• Dutch
• Horton
• Shara Bey
• Etahn
• All HWK pilots
• Esege
• Biggs
• Wes...kind of by removing tokens for other people to shoot
• Lando
• Airen Cracken

...and that's just the pilots! The crew have a long list, as well.

I love flying the TIE/sf, sadly, most x-wing games are of the Aturi Cluster variety - while quite good, is somewhat limiting to what you can play.

As for what I want in 2017.. well.. two things:

I want an x-wing 2.0 upgrade. I feel that since x-wing was released Fantasy Flight have learned somethings - adding in a new (or several) new die types similar to armada would add some depth to the game. A "heavy" die type would also eliminate the number of dice needed for larger ships and heavy weapons.

Second, a ground war expansion.

I want e wings to get some love in 2017. And starvipers.

I think if every faction had an elite superiority fighter it would really improve the overall game

Finally got to fly my ARCs over the holiday, great fun especially taking down a Palpmobile with the rear arcs in a fly-by...

...for 2017, I reallllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly want FFG to let us know if there's going to be a Scum Epic!! Don't care what it is or how long it takes to come out, just to know if it's going to exist...

Favourite new ship is probably the Ghost. The stats and the title managed to capture the feel of the ship from the show. The various upgrade slots make a ship that is powerful but not broken and is fun to play.

Honourable mentions go to both Imperial Veterans and HotR which brought some great buffs to Defenders and some modest improvements to Bombers and T70s.

If 2017 manages to be as good for X-wing as 2016 I will be a happy a bunny.
