Happy Friday, crazy people of the forum!

The Tie Silencer made it to X-wing (kudos to the person that kept that a surprise) along with the Reb Bombers which will come out in 2018, we do have a few months to save up some pennies for them. At first like today I want to scream at the price point or say I dislike Kylo having the same pilot ability three times, however let’s look at the bright side,

First - the Reb bomber comes with a ton of really good cards same with the Silencer, both come with a couple of each like an Ace set,

Second - I only feel like one of each is needed for wave 12.5. (Maybe 3 gun ships will be in order but I want them for HOTAC),

Third - Wave 12 will cost the same as wave 10 and will be cheaper then wave 8 (GHOST, Inq, Mist, Jump, T-70, Tie F/O and core 50+15+20+15+15+40).

Last and most important, my day was long and challenging, NC is a huge mess right now, along with that my family is dealing with more issues then I know what to deal with and Star Wars makes me happy today with the news of wave 12.5, which drops around my birthday makes me happy. There are concerns with the wave and power creep but that does not make my enjoyment of the game less. Kylo and Youngster might be a wonderful thing, and Kylo with Grandfather will be even better. I am hopeful Imps have a strong answer to the meta, RAC Kylo or Kylo/whisper/gunboat……

In short I can ether choose to be unhappy or I can pick to be happy. (I can also continue to save 5 a week and it pays for all my x-wing toys a year or 10 a week which buys me 2 of everything a year at retail and stop buying Starbucks and Video games)

It might also do nothing so we pray/hope and wait.

Happy Friday Cubanboy.

It isn't 12.5, it is actually 13. Your 1+1=3 got it right.

From the article. "Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce that the Resistance Bomber Expansion Pack and TIE Silencer Expansion Pack are scheduled for release as X-Wing Wave XIII!"

I expected more people to comment on this. This is a repeat of wave 5. I just wonder if there are going to be any surprise adds to this wave later. I expected they would say they were squeezing them into Wave 12 and I was pleasantly surprised to see it is a new wave.

Here's hoping things improve @Cubanboy but you have a math fail.

Happy Friday, minus one, plus one, is still Happy Friday. Just find a way to add another one to make it a Great Friday. (One shot of whiskey for me, thanks)

I like the new releases but have some financial issues in the short term so I might have to scale back a bit on Xwing. Well, on some of the stuff. Hoping to spend the weekend prototyping a Death Star II scenario. Might even get to test it next week.

I was going to make a Half life 3 joke Totally forgot. PS dont new waves come out at Christmas this year................

Well, one thing we know for sure, this new release of ships won't be OP since it didn't have a scum ship in it.

Wrong thread for that attitude, mister. Now smack a smiley face on the front of a Firespray and go 'pew pew' with it for ten minutes as punishment.

Fine,

1 + 1 - Scum = no OP ships.

I need a face palm emoji. FFG has nerfed emojis! Meh. Whatever floats your boat, Mep. I may not like certain aspects of the meta, but I don't let it impact my enjoyment of the game.

Topic here though is Happy Friday. So have a good weekend Mep. Hope something makes you smile.

Yeah .....

Sarcasm + drama = no fun

You're in North Cakalaki, right? You might get some outer bands, but nothing too crazy.

In Atlanta, on the other hand...

Oh wait I forgot Florida

And may the winds of change blow elsewhere.

Happy Friday CB! Hopefully you'll weather the storm and come out unscathed. Whatever happens, stay safe.

My thoughts on the announcement? I looked at the Rebels first and thought another two attack, one agility brick! You'd think after fighting the bad guys for all these years, one of the shipyards would get the idea to make an affordable , 3attack, 3 agility dogfighter! Of the two 3 agility craft we have, one is seriously over costed, the other under powered.

Other than that and the MSRP, the ships look good and come with some nice upgrade cards.
