Where is the Heroes of the Empire pack?

By RufusDaMan, in X-Wing

If Heroes of the Resistance isn't the Rebel Veterans, then where is the Heroes of the Empire/First Order?

I think the Empire could use some love now. What are your ideas of a box like that? What would you like to see? Go!

Erm...

Imperial Veterans...

Its in the same place as rebel veterans and scum aces...

The imaginations of the fans.

Id like to see some love for ties in general. As was discussed before, id change the modification rule by "all ties may equip one tie only modification on top of their usual modification" and make some more of those. One card i would love for tie fighters is a combination of snap shot and outmaneuver: "if an enemy ship ends its movement inside your primary firing arc, if you are not within its firing arc, you may perform an attack against it."

However, i still think the empire is good as it is, within its design frame. Most ships are well balanced against each other, except the punisher.

The other factions having some very, maybe even too, strong options is why imps suffer. Imperial power creep shouldnt be the answer.

The Empire has no heroes.

Wait for the Knights of the 1st Order to come out.

Maarek Stele, aka Imperial sabine, begs to differ.

Interestingly, the First Order ships are probably the best Imperial ships at the moment so I don't see them releasing a counterpart to HotR. Something to help the older ships would be nice though.

Really, I think we just need something to boost the OT ships. X/B//Y/A-wings and TIE/ln/int/ad. Bomber already has a fix or two.

No. We still want a Rebel Veterans pack with people from Scarif.

Upsilon Shuttle and Tie Striker just came out recently, offering a lot of different options, crew and upgrades.

Imperial Veterans in June 2016 and changed Defenders and Tie Bombers tremendously.

Gonzanti brought in new Tie pilots - particularly Wampa and on top of that you have Tie/SF.

Aggressor is due soon, which will put TLT in the Empire's hands.

I think you guys are a bit impatient. Scum definitely has a lot of viable options right now, but the Empire is still strong and expanding.

I wouldn't be opposed to a "heroes" of the first order expansion (since empire already has their veterans), but at the same time I think a lot of the community has been waiting for word on a Rebel veterans expansion. *cough, cough, s-foils/e-wing buff

You mean scum aces? Rebels got their "aces" pack this time around with Heroes of the Resistance, while Imperials got theirs with Imperial Veterans. Scum..haven't gotten any at all yet.

True, but Scum is getting some cool things with the C-ROC pretty soon here.

In all fairness, let's put it in a queue; imps 1st, rebs, then scum (the Khirax does need more love after all)

Cool? Cool.

No, HotR is not the Rebel Veterans pack.

Kind of like rebels got an x-wing in the transport and imperials got ties in the gozanti?

Epic fix =/= aces pack. So after we get our aces pack, they can start the next cycle of imperial and rebel aces.

I didn't say it wa srebel veterans. But HotR and IV are both aces packs. Which means rebel and imperial both have 2 aces packs now, and scum has 0. And reble and imperial have both gotten aces packs in the last year and scum has gotten 0. So scum needs aces before we get a Rebel Vets or heroes of the empire (or first order), or whatever names they do for the next aces packs.

That would be a Rebel Zombies pack.:P

Do you really want Captain Phasma crew so badly?

"At the end of Compare Results step, you may protest slightly, then discard this upgrade card. "

There, 3 points.

Fixed that for you

"Cannon Fodder of the Empire" That's all Imps are.

Oh yes. We all want Red 5 and Blue Leader over the dozens of Rogues that actually have backstories.

Yes, we want new characters like General Merrick that appeared in the movie that just came out (I want scum aces first, but I'd be happy to get merrick in a rebel aces pack based on scarif)

I would still be fine with Rogue Squadron pilots, but I'd rather wait for a campaign box to get that. I want Scarif heroes first.

Hmm, so you're saying Scum should get huge ship, with an m3a fix at that, and their own heroes/vets expansion before rebs or imps - just because?

Psh, go back to dominating the meta with Mindlink, and leave the future ace-like expansions to imps and rebs first (who actually need it) ;)
