I know many people may well just use the mission inserts from the big ships as dial reference, but I like to play the odd mission every now and then. Surely they could have ditched the big picture of Kylo and replaced the rules text for conditions with the card from the blister packs, that would have made some space for a mission!

Hopefully it's just down to lack of space this time round, rather than a conscious decision...

FFG couldn't design a balanced mission to save themselves, so if they've finally given up trying that's fine by me.

Count me as disappointed!

I've been playing since wave 1, and haven't ever played any of those missions.

But it's a bit sad to see it go anyway.

the missions were nice little additional things. never played any myself but they were a good little extra

can't help but be gobsmacked at that thing

I guess if your into only playing missions....... So YES.

I hope someone builds a mission where you basically picking up Rey and its a bunch of Tie F/Os Vs Poe and T-70s, like Ep7. If the Rebels win you have to shout Finn lines from the movie.

This IS a Breach Of EDICATE!

I have never played one of those missions and would never even consider doing so. Dogfight or go home.

Epic play is approved. You may layer your table with 75 pounds of gorgeous plastic.

So say we all!

SEZ... SEZ... SEZ!!!

You might consider that the absence of a mission MAY indicate they are working on a campaign of some sort. Along with the fix for the T-65.

Sorry, I HAD to throw that in.

It took every FFG employee just to assemble that massive wingspan, so no, I'm not surprised by the lack of mission.

Not only shout lines but breathe heavily...

I find the lack of mission disturbing...

I will admit, I have not done any of the missions outside of a tutorial format. Even with missions I still use it only as a tutorial. I still collect the mission tokens in hopes of using them as game aids or make my own missions mostly for campaign format.

That being said I understand why FFG didn't add in any missions. For one they would have to make tokens and the UpS already has 3 full cardboard punch-outs of standard tokens necessary for the ship (shields, conditions, numbers, damage, focus, stress, dials, base, ect.) If all the standard tokens (keep in mind each expansion is self contained only requiring the core set). didn't fill up 3 cardboard sheets then mission tokens would be the best way to use up the excess space. However that was clearly not the case.

So no mission tokens and no mission does make it the best business sense for FFG even if we find it to be the most boring of decisions.

I missed it too. But looking at the rules leaflet it would appear that a mission could only fit on a 5th page, which would mean 3 redundant pages on a second leaflet. So I think it was a practical decision; Marinealver's remark re: tokens also makes sense.

If anyone at FFG is listening, here's my suggestion: there is a possibility that a mission was designed but not included for practical reasons. If so, then I hope it will be made available as a download. I'm sure that tokens for existing missions can be used for play.

Otherwise, the Upsilon shuttle expansion is one of the best for X-Wing I think. Great model, interesting rules, lots of variation for new and experienced players. Maybe Kylo Ren will prove to be a headache, but that remains to be seen. Otherwise, this one is a winner.

I am disappoint as well
