Isn't this the quickest wave out ever?

so someone in my local group thought the SCURRG looked like a crab

Honestly the scurrg makes me think of a string ray without a tail more than anything. I've nicknamed my scum nym build the "mensa ray". It's nym with bomblet generator, mindlink, havoc, collision detector, and genius.

(The name is less funny if you don't know what Mensa is: Mensa is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardized, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test.)

I like the minefield mapper idea, but otherwise, not much to get me juiced.

Oh come on Meanie... this wave is a cornucopia of delights for the Empire ;)

Cruise Missiles

Bomblet Generator

Unguided Rockets

First turret ship

I can't wait until we get to see SC data on juggler for Wave XI. Get ready for the salt to get out of hand, Scum domination is going to get MUCH MUCH worse. Seen/heard about a few Nym games that ended in under 5 mins of play......so yay?

Medium base with nubs on all four sides, so you can arrange it as short and wide or long and narrow.

I wish they had made the bases notched to fit the templates instead of having the nubs back at the beginning. The nubs have messed me up more than I care to say.

It still seems off to me that the likes of the Falcon or the Outrider can outrun A-Wings and Interceptors. <_<

YOu talking 'bout the ship that made the Kessel run in 12 parsecs?

Large ships out running the small ships is ok with me as like others have said more engine. However I do take exception to them creating ships that can out run the Falcon and the Outrider, I mean really The Falcon bent the laws of physics in order to make the Kessel run, and Dash Rendar claimed he had modified the Outrider to rival the abilities of the Falcon.

I have to stop you right there. The Millennium Falcon was not a fast ship. Han just liked to boast about it, but remember that Luke says, "How come we can't outrun them? I thought you said this thing was fast." Only thing fast about the Falcon was its temperamental hyperdrive.

Still, I agree that it's a bit simplistic to have a generic YT be as fast as either the Millennium Falcon or the Outrider , but it is a really simplified game, after all.

I see you are giving me the snarky smile, but OTOH I do agree that the upgrade options are more interesting than the ships themselves.

I am also pleased to see a free mission is included with the Wave as well. I really like that and I hope stuff like that continues.

Don't worry; I ordered my share of Wave XI so that FFG has the revenue stream to make Wave XII.

The Wookie ship is great against TLT for me.

Your optimism is fantastic, my play group is a bit salty; even most, who play Rebels first.?

Our trial games are showing that the Scrugg and it's amazing Bane that makes an interesting twist for our JM5Ks, deadly interesting. The Wookie camper is so annoying to fly against....ugggg; paired with Biggs it sucks, already beer-game outlawed.

Interesting yes, Imp improve, but the other factions gain far more I'm thinking, less balance in the force ☹️☹️☹️☹️

I haven't checked the wikia, but this appears to be the quickest wave out (from announcement) during the time that I've been playing.

No one seems to be that ecstatic about it though. Is it a lacklustre wave, are people jaded, or is it just too much, too fast, for the wallet? Or is it just me getting old and that time is going faster? :)

It's not that it's lackluster, it's that it's adding more blatant problems to the game by making currently powerful things even more powerful.

Miranda gets infinite bombs now.

Jumpmaster gets bombs.

Rebels get a second Biggs to protect their first Biggs.

Scum gets a small base Jumpmaster that it can do Deadeye U-Boats again.

These are all big red flags that we could see before this wave came out. So this is why it's a disappointment to some as it's just introducing more stupid obnoxious NPE bull into the game.

TLT with Ruthlessness is stupid obnoxious npe bull as well. Powerred-up moar TLT, while most really hate TLT.

Does the thing even work this way any more... not that it will effect my games, but just wondering for fun... kinda.

Seems that people agree on ruthlessness triggering for one of the 2 shots in a TLT attack.

Right on. Be careful if you have a lot of TIE-Critters around one might be caught in the fray... lol!

(This was always an issue with this talent...)
