I think it's cute.
Them, not the Gunboat.
I've even hit CTRL+F5 on the off chance it's my browser... C'mon people, I need my fix!

Look, all I can say is I spent a *lot* of time in a Gunboat inspecting freighters and cargo containers. It's like getting to know a horse you ride a lot; there's an understanding there, a respect. Possibly a degree of Stockholm's.
I need this article noooooow
Maybe if we ooo and ahh enough over Legion, FFG will give use the Wave XII article faster.
If legion minis were painted then I'd be all over it like a bad rash. As it is, I'd prefer 40k
no articleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Boy, they're really being dicks about this article.
the article is a lie, the announcement at Gen Con was fake.
jk ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

It's become kinda a fetish for them at this point, they've actually convinced themselves that a substantial number of people love this ship when the reality is few have heard of it and fewer care about the one non TIE ship in a game named after the TIE Fighter.
I suppose that this was inevitable though, there are any only so many ships and new ones aren't being introduced fast enough to keep up with the waves so they do occasionally have to scrape the barrel to fill out a wave, it's understandable if not ideal. At least maybe now they'll finally shut up about it and stop injecting it into every thread.
You guys are trying really hard. The game obviously jumped the shark when they didn't give us a preview article. Obviously.
Also... NO ARTICLE?!?!

We've never gotten a Friday article before why is everyone so shocked every time they do the exact same thing?

FFG has never in the host of this game released an X-Wing article on Friday but every year at gencon people get surprised that they haven't put one out.
I checked last year article and it was up on Friday, August 5th.
X-wing articles are always on Fridays or Mondays. Either/or. Sometimes both. It's Wednesdays that you can sleep through.

I'm gonna pass some pre-emptive salt around. Rebels get coordinate? =( Even more support options of rRebels and none for Imperials.
PS7 with a shtt ability on the Gunboat?
I'm bitter, salty, and sour.
mmmm salt

Mate, you are either old enough to love/appreciate it or you are to young to remember it in it's 90's glory days.

Or you thought it was a bland and boring addition to an otherwise fun game which was supposed to be about TIE Fighters.
Never played Tie Fighter, but I love the Rogue Squadron series, so I will probably download it, it's X-Wing counterpart, or XWvTF to my PC.
ok now lets be honest. You can't deny that this game has jumped the shark.
There's a shark. There's the Xwing flying over it. See?

Do you want to be reported? Get of my suitcase.
Okay FFG you had your day for us to glory in Legion, now we want our X-wing article. It is Friday, end of the work week. I hope someone is planning on coming in to work on Saturday to put that article up.
