Unless you like bathing in salt, it seems like a reasonable plan.

I wish people just figured out how to play the game as it exists instead of always calling for nerfs and dreaming about what could be. Some things may be overpowered at times, but spending your days complaining about it won't make it better. The last few years have taught us that the best thing to do if you want something nerfed is for everyone to fly it everywhere and win everything with it. Now, if your goal is to have fun...

is it me or is there no release date listed for wave 14?

My guess is they throw the Han Solo stuff in with it, and make it wave 14? Release date in May?

Also, people are already doom-saying that scum is gone forever since they didn't get a ship revealed- What is wrong with them?

I love the people upset about scum as though we didn't just have scum summer (worlds, c roc, nym and guns for hire)

enjoyed the most recent episode!

"Live free, don't join!"

I agree

I don't think that the OP in that thread is upset. I think its just more of an observation: Scum had a mission, add X ships that aren't rebels of Imperial, and it did. Now, there is no further use for scum, ergo, scum is "done". Not a negative thing really, just a thing.

So, was everybody just on the same page or is the fast moving meta shifts an indication that practice is less relevant?

I agree

I wonder if they can print a Krayt logo on these...

If I learned one thing from krayt cup, it's that you can put a logo on pretty much anything...

Alright, am I wrong in thinking Optimized prototype will be insane on Kylo? You get a shield and an awesome ability for 5 points on another ship!

Kylo is First Order. Krennic says "GALACTIC EMPIRE." So Krennic won't work on First Order ships.

They actually used the interior factions... I didn't notice that. Soontir then. Problem solved.

Vader, Soontir, Whisper (with Gunner!) all seem like good candidates for Optimized Prototype. Is it competitive? I dunno. The ability is SUPER strong. +1 shield on an ace of your choice with the added benefit of using unneeded die results to do autodamage. It's almost a soft counter to regen aces since you can take an endgame ship like Vader or Soontir who don't always roll max hits and ensure that you strip at least 1 shield + whatever damage you do with the rest of your attack. Having played against a ton of regen at the Indy regional with Vader, I would've loved to have had this ability.

The issue is finding space for a crew carrier. Your cheapest options are a Reaper and a Lambda, but adding in the fact that Krennic is 5 pts, you then have to consider whether it's worth it to find 3 more points for Palpatine instead (it's probably worth it). If the TIE Shuttle could take Krennic I'd be all over him!

You could of course do Krennic and Palp on a Deci, but I don't think that's as good as Kylo + Palp.

Aiming low. Vader. Use a blank result to pop a shield, and use the advanced targeting computer to throw a critical.

Depending on cost I am looking forward to being able to fit Krennic on a Low PS Blocker Reaper with 3 red dice next to Quickdraw and your choice of Vader/Inqusitor/Soontir/Sabacc etc.

Its going to make a couple B Tier lists a little better no doubt.

Still I am with you, I cant let go of the fact that the only 2 good Imperial cards are Palp or Kylo Crew and everything else is basically just jank ( including 3BQD ).

Which as a side note...is how I know I am bad at X-Wing.

*Is Thweek Dead? Is Scum kind of...done?

Also, someone could play this: https://geordanr.github.io/xwing/?f=Rebel Alliance&d=v4!s!204:18,-1,261,3:41:26:;279:107,-1,-1,-1:62:-1:;279:107,-1,-1,-1:62:-1:&sn=Unnamed Squadron&obs=

Imagine the Hitpoints! And also the Jank!

Actually, speaking of weird janky lists, did we actually just bait FFG into announcing the U-Wing fix by spending so much time joking around about U-Wing swarms a couple days ago?

I would think it was the best thing ever if it turned out that FFG does in fact pay attention to these forums, but only this thread.

The listeners did it! Or FFG did it!Or the Krayts did it! Or....I dont even know anymore...

I think at this point its fair to just assume that the developers read and listen to everything and are super cool people that care alot about this game.

The fact that there is a card with the word "Primary Weapon" in it getting released is all the evidence we will ever need that they care and listen to every word of every podcast. ( Scary thought ).

Yeah, the devs have grown on me a lot lately! I think once this newest wave is released, the game will be close to perfect!

Still kinda want Clone Wars factions, but I'm in a very small minority there so I'll just shut up now and be happy about my GUNBOAT, my U-Wings and my X-Wings.

Dunno about that...as always we wont really have any idea what this latest wave will do to the health of the game until the Turret/Regen/Defense scientists finish their experiments.

Rebel list building in progress:

Man the devs are sneaky. Epic got a FAQ last week and nobody noticed. Sad!

No more Maul/Zuckuss shenanigans on the C-ROC along with some other stuff.

They quietly updated the epic tournament rules not long ago as well, and announced it just as loudly... I think the few of us that actually push these heavier plastic ships around the map are kind of used to the silence and having to improvise odd scenarios.

That removes a lot of the toys the C-ROC could use to be efficient. My sons actually flew it once, when we tried the first mission. Sadly, our kitchen table can't fit a 6x3 area, I had to rig something up to even fit a 3x3 mat.

Probably getting ready for the big one (scum epic release number 2) then all 3 factions will have 2 epic ships and ffg might start hosting bigger official epic tournaments or generating more epic prize support.
