I have a movie trailer question. What were the ships screaming over the dessert sending up a red smoke screen?

Land speeders.

Rebel: Stolen Gunboat

Nah.

Rebels and Scum get them but not Empire.

i actually think that would be awesome for there to be a triple-faction ship, where the wave in question is literally just that ship but for all 3 factions.

Imperial gunboat could have a Sensor
Rebel gunboat could have a Mech
Scum gunboat obviously would have Illicit.

Different pilots but same generics (as in same skill and EPT access). Not sure if it would piss people off more that its a trifaction in one box (LOT of excess stuff if you buy multiples) or a separate box per faction.

I'm all for a ship that fits into each faction, but.... not the Gunboat. Skipray Blastboat? Sure, but NOT the gunboat!

On the topic of the Blastboat, is it a large or small ship? In Edge of the Empire, all the small ships in this game have Silhouette 3 and the large ships in this game have Silhouette 4. Huge ships in this game have Silhouette 5 in EotE. From everything I've seen, these parallels hold. Anyway, in EotE, they give the good ol' Blastboat a Silhouette 4, but from my experience with X-Wing Alliance, it seems like a small ship. Curious to hear others' opinions on the matter.

For full package, I think the V-Wing would fit the bill. For a more restricted pilot lists for some factions but still for all three factions, the Gauntlet Fighters could also work.

Tricky. According to wookieepedia, a blastboat is suppose to be 25 meters long, which is about 10 m longer than a t-65, which is about 14 m. For better perspective, it's a couple of meters longer that the ARC is wide. With that kind of data, I'd say large base, but then you have the overhanging king in the Scrugg, so who knows

Victory-Class Star Destroyer for Empire huge.

Scum needs a few new boxes!

The Krukrukralubugubabu heavy fighter. Small base.

Statline: 5 / 3 / 8 / 8

Elite slot, astromech slot, 2 x crew slot, 2 x rocket slot, 2 x torpedo slot, 2 x fancy new powercreep slot

Dial: all green 1, all green 2, all white 3, stop 0 is white, all loops white, only the 5 straight is red (****! can't use that. Thanks FFG!)

Comes in at 19 points as a pilot 2. Of course there will be some new aces coming with this box, too. PS 8 pilot named "Masafaka Bettasss" who is actually a famous bounty hunter, very well known from childish fan fiction about the Star Wars rebels TV series. He is half Wookie, half Emo, half Boba Fetts little sister

Pilot ability: When you reveal your maneuver dial, you may steal the focus token of an enemy ship in range 1-3 and give it to a friendly ship in range 1-2.

You're just kidding, right? Because you didn't give it an illicit slot.

No, it's really going to be without an illicit, because FFG sometimes forgets about certain things.

Just like the blue line between front and rear section of an epic ship.

Hopefully they won't forget about the firing arc, otherwise they might FAQ it as the first ship ever with a 5 red dice 360 degree arc.

Scum fighters don't have 3-turns, doe.

The fancy new power creep slot is called "tracker instincts" and is given to every scum pilot with an 'E' in their name via errata. It centers on cards that let you bring additional ships onto the board. The cards contained in the pack are:

"I've got a bad feeling about this" (Tracker Instincts, 0 points)
Once per game, after the "place forces" step, you may remove all your ships and create another squad of equal or lesser value then the one you just put down.

"No disintegrations" (tracker instincts, -3 points)
When an enemy ship would be destroyed by your attack, instead assign it facedown damage cards until it has 1 less than its hull value. Then assign it 3 tractor beam tokens, 2 ion tokens, eight stress tokens, the "suppressed fire condition card" and a weapons disabled token. You may then perform a primary weapon attack on a different ship.

But aside from that, it has none of the same characteristics of other epic ships. Plus, when you factor in that some of the epic ships have a different scale to the rest of the ships, the better part of valor is to just scale the Kom'rk down and make it a large base ship.

half the player base of x-wing, myself included, only play the game because of the gorgeous models. FFG attempts(with mixed success) to mantain scale so the miniatures look amazing on the table together, but also because collectors purchase ships as scale models. If a ship suddenly appeared in game at 25% of its correct size, personally i'd stop buying. imagine if the falcon was the same size as an A-wing... thats how wrong the scale would be

Yes; but rather than the "gunboat". the V-Wing would be a good choice for this.

The TIE Fighter is almost there. Currently Rebel and Imperial, if they bring out the Mining Guild Pac-Man TIE Fighter, it could perfectly be a scum ship.

Yes! Imperial class Star Destroyer (1/900 scale, half that of the huge ships), 80 hull, 60 shields, energy limit 50, 25x hardpoint upgrade slot, 10 crew, 15 team (20 new team cards with release), 4 hull sections, EPT, etc,etc,.

Really nice lego model of the Chimera, too

as waves go, i could get behind that - other than maybe the Raptor.

if FFG continue their "themed waves" that they seem to be trying to do, I'd like to see a wave that tries to make Swarm lists great again (now the ordinance lists are fixed)

so how about;

Scum - either: Mining Guild TIE (lazy option), or Cloakshape Fighter

Imperials - TIE/Droid

Rebels - Nimbus V-wing

Good, but I'd like it if the empire got an Alpha-3 Nimbus too. I suppose It could be some kind of box set - I would go with Imperial Veterans if it wasn't taken already - that includes an ARC-170 and an Alpha-3. They could have an Imperial only droid slot, perhaps with an R4 head shape.

I would also like the TIE Droid, but wouldn't an experimental M-1 be just so much more... Interesting ?

how about "Imperial Relics" for your boxed set

i don't really know much about the M-1, I'm just not a fan of the looks. Think of the fun they could have with the TIE/Droid though, as an AI ship that's a different from IG you could have some cool swarm mechanics - something like - "the more of them there are, the higher their PS"

but maybe its just my inner BSG fan coming out (**** you ffg, give me a Battle Star Galactica version of x-wing!!!!)

as for the V-wing, Yeh i could see that in all three factions to be honest. Maybe a box with a V-wing and a skipray blastboat as a triple faction aces pack?
