Some thoughts from a rambling mind on early wave crew cards.

By Archangelspiv, in X-Wing

Hey Everybody!

My normal commute to and from work everyday normally is about 3.5 hours, gives me a lot of time to think about inane ****. I was thinking about the early wave crew cards that don't see a lot of use like Leia for example. With the TFA and Episode 8 providing a platform for updated crew cards. I also think it could be another platform to pay homage to our favourite princess, letting people know know it's OK for a Princess to carry a big blaster.

Han and Leia are the obvious examples, Chewie and Luke get play from time to time, but I for one would love to get some of the old crew back into the game, pun intended maybe.

Who would you add and what would their skills be???

Han Solo (Han Shot First):

Once per round, when an enemy ship in your firing arc declares you as the target of an attack, you may perform an attack against that ship.

4pts

Luke crew (what's that flashing?!)

the first time each round you lose a shield token you may receive a focus token.

Han (crew) needs to stay exactly where it is. It is an Epic card, as its the only way to get the Focus effect on an Epic ship since they cannot get Focus tokens, but can Target Lock.

Leia (crew) is also intended as an Epic card as well; its worth its cost when you are working with a large number of ships.

Edit: Amazingly, both of these cards came with the Tantive IV... go figure. ;)

Han Shot First should just be 'during the combat phase, treat your PS as 13'.

I always thought that Hans pilot ability should have been.

"You always activate first during the combat phase."

Luke Skywalker Jedi Master. crew 4points.

"At the start of the activation phase you may look at one opposing ships maneuver dial, if you do not you may assign one evade token to one friendly ship."

a jedi uses the force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.
