Wave 11 article is up!

By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing

So I haven't seen anyone mention what is clearly the most important thing in wave 11.

According to the rules, the TIE Aggressor could totally equip the IG-2000 title, which simply says "Aggressor only"

You magnificent bastard.

Now we just need to see what the Unique pilots skills are...or wait for the impending Errata.

To be fair, I cheated to figure this out. Working on adding the cards to Aurora and the IG-2000 title appeared as an option in the Titles list. Totally wouldn't hav ethought of it otherwise.

From the Rules Reference for why it works:

Quote

Ship-type only: This upgrade can only be equipped to a ship of the specified type. If the ship’s type includes the entirety of the restricted type, it can equip that upgrade. For example, a TIE/fo fighter can equip an Upgrade card restricted to “TIE Fighter only.”

TIE Aggressor contains the entirey of "Aggressor", so good to go :)

If anything, this may be a precedent for them to make a difference between the T-65 and T-70 in "X-Wing Only" cards if they so want to.

Probably just errata the IG-2000 card to be more specific, somehow.

For Aurora i'm just marking IG-2000 as scum only to keep it from showing up for the TIE. I imagine they'll errata it in a similar way. And you can get around the X-wing Only by making an upgrade Rebel Alliance only or Resistance only. They haven't used the subfactions for anything so far, but no reason they couldn't.

When they rolled out the T-70s, they said they kept the two ships at the same efficiency that they could create a single solution that would work for all the X-Wings.

Granted, at this point anything they do for higher PS X-Wings will pretty much only ever see use on Poe, and anything that makes lower PS X-Wings better has a good chance of making Biggs (even more) frustrating to deal with.

So they may simply split the difference between the ships after all.

What card are you reading? "Your attack dice may only be modified by spending a focus token for its standard effect" means no target lock, no predator, no emperor, no sensor jammer, nothing but spending a focus to turn eyeballs to hits.

Agreed; it's clear what they mean.

I am now sure I'll be getting all of this wave.

Clearly FFG intends to allow the TIE Aggressor to take the IG-2000 title, as a way to mimic the AJ^6 cyborg constructs that the Empire has been shown using in several Rebels Episodes.

No fix for the X-Wing.

Shame.

This is just the wave 11 ships. There is still a chance there will be a separate Rouge One expansion with T-65 X-wing goodies.

swx66-unguided-rockets.png ... so you can't even use calculation? ... no Jonus as well ... no Emperor?

No Sensor Jammer either.

so... C-ROC drops in May (most likely) when will we actually be able to purchase these wave 11 ships based on past wave releases?

I wouldn't be surprised with a GenCon release.

I'd be (pleasantly) surprised with anything else tbh

Why not just Adrenaline Rush? Unless you plan on getting blocked or going over asteroids a lot, Adrenaline Rush seems way better for opening up red moves than Cool Hand for Tomax. Same effect, no stress.

Yes indeed, Adrenalin seems to be a better option, I mistakenly thinked that cool hand remove the stress.

But the question remains, Adrenaline or crack shot?

Do the extra maneuverability compensate the raw damage?

Next the Gunboat and I am fine for eternity

I still need TIE Hunter, TIE Oppressor and TIE Avenger to be satisfied.

OK so now we have a Missile that functions as a Cannon.

I believe they should do a squadron title. It can either be generic only, which they have never tried..or even. Better then that. An ability that only triggers the morning other x wings are in range 1 or range 1-2 . Maybe one buff for two ships and a huge bonus or 3 or more. I think the latter being a smart fix for both the x wing and the generic

I see so much good stuff here. Double slit upgrades theme is wierd but it might just work out. Unending rockets is perfect for so much. Can't wait to see what double bombs does!

Firespray fix needs to include being able to take double slot mods for a single slot... Imperial firespray is still so so sad. It really is the oldest ship to not get an update/buff.

I wonder if the Gozanti will be updated to be able to carry the Tie Agressor?

Is the shorthand Tie/ag?

Yeah, the model designation in Stay On Target is TIE/AG.

Yes I was sad to see there's nothing worth taking on the firesprays for this wave. Maaaaybe cad bane crew once he's revealed, but that would only be for the scum version. If firesprays had two crew slots and wookiee commandos weren't rebel only that would be a nice fit.
