Just to clear up the confusion on this issue if they will do an x-wing/y-wing dual pack tie in on Rogue One.
It's a matter of when.
Can we still hope for Rebel Veterans?

Ignoring the fact that the X-Wing was the very first ship released for the game, and it's namesake, the fact that i can't fly it if i want to win is not doing the game itself very much service.
Make it an absolutism is the mistake. Some people simply doesn't care about flying movie ships.
Anyway...triple T-65 was alive during the 3 U-boat time (wes janson over all).
Some people are using triple T70 list now.
Poe still amazing.
Wedge is good.
Heck even Luke is nice, if only someone wanna try to play it (now that the PS run is not consistent as before).
Do you all wanna play the X-Wing? Then bring the ship on the table. Learn how to use it, stop saying that the ship need a fix! The Kihraxz nees a fix, the Punisher need a fix.
Not the T-65 nor T-70. I don't wanna seem salty but, honestly, just play...some people wants the X-Wing capable to shoot 4 red dice, dodge 3 doing boost and barrel roll, more shields, more regen, what the heck...just learn to play this ship as all the players who still using it. Stop asking for a fix, fix your skill instead.
And I said it with humble. Whining is...annoying, and doesn't help to improve us as players, not just into a competion way
Edited by CerveI hope for scum aces first, then rebel vets.
Clutching here but the reveal background looks like Scarif with X-Wings and TIE Fighters.
Save the reveal! Save the dream!

Honestly, this is probably the best avenue. Even with their poor states, the X-Wing, the Y-Wing, and the E-Wing all have examples that see upper level play in Biggs, the Stresshog, and Corran, respectively. Where as I've heard squat about good lists with the k-fighter and the Starviper.

Pretty sure alex davy claled it an aces pack in an interview as wel
My desire for a pack called "Rebel Veterans", containing an X-wing and a Y-wing, with both Rogue One and Rogue Squadron tie-ins, is completely unaffected by this statement.

I would guess if we get another aces pack from a Rogue One tie-in, it won't be "Rebel Veterans", it'll be called something else that ties into the movie more.

L2P man (:
Where is the imperial heroes pack???
Seriously tho, i suspect that FFG are working on a campaign box and that, like armada, it will contain new pilot cards
Edited by banjobenitoThe pattern of releases and what is likely to come out favors a Scum Aces, specifically Black Sun Aces with Kihraxz and Viper, to happen first.
The marketing mind in me thinks they want to capitalize in a timely manner on Rogue One and potentially announce an X and Y Wing Rebel Vets pack around the time the movie comes out on Blu Ray/DVD/Digital.
Personally, I'm leaning towards the later because money and timely releases overrule fixing non-premium ships in the Star Wars lore. As we move closer into Episode 8 "season," we only get closer to when ships for that movie become more relevant.

"Rogue Legends"
Our best hope of any rebel fixes will come in late this year or 2018 around the last Jedi. It'll likely be similar to what they did for heroes of the resistance, sneaking in cards that help other ships. Like how in HOTR gave us extra integrated astromech for t65, snap shot for a wing, and smuggling compartment for the outrider.

I think that the pulse shield generator or whatever it's called took the spot for the black sun ship fixes. I doubt viper and kihrazx are getting more goodies
Blue Squadron X-Wing with Hammerhead Cruiser would be awesome...

Not even a little bit. Autothrusters is better for the starviper. And even if it wasn't, paying another 2 points on an already way overcosted ship to lose your autothrusters defenses just so you can regen 1 shield at a time isn't a fix. It MIGHT be somewhat all right on the kihraxz, but even there is probably rather have vectored thrusters. At 2 agility and 5 health, it's entirely possible you could be dead before you ever get to regen. And the fact that you have to ion yourself to regen in the first place

This brings back my old corran play style on kihraxz. Hit, get outta there, wheel around and hit hard again.

Except corran has 3 shields and 3 agility. He can take a hit or two, not lose any hull, then bug out and regen back to full health before coming in again. The Kihraxz has 1 shield and 2 agility. It'll take more damage, and you can only ever get 1 health back at a time. So if Corran lost 2 health in a pass, the kihraxz likely will lose 3-4, and where corran can regen all of the damage he lost, the kihraxz can only regen 1.

Corran nearly 40 points so it roughly comes out to a little less than 2 kirhraxzs

Dead Rebel Hero's?

Generally, I'm not disagreeing with you, I just think this'll be the same thing as integrated astromech where the ship becomes playable but not very good by any means. And since it looks ok on paper, FFG will make you settle for that while they pump out stuff for the last Jedi. Kinda how the E wing was neglected because of heroes of the resistance.
