Has X-Wing been saved?

I'm afraid the next shadow is Adv Sensors PTL Kyloceptor. Jesus that thing is going to be a nightmare to fly against. I'm all for giving Imps love, but I'm worried that's way too much in the 'cancer' category. I'd like Imps to have some 'blank slate' ships with lots of upgrade slots that can be built in a variety of ways, and perhaps some Imp only type of upgrade. Kylo is going to be NPE to the extreme I'm afraid.

Gunboat however looks fun as **** and decently balanced to boot. Going to be good, but not too good.

I am a long-time Imperial player and let me tell you how I feel about Kylo the Silencer, wrecker of foes.

FFG did not think this ship through.

PLEASE can we stop responding to Shadow's ****-stirring troll posts? Don't even click the link, just see who's posting it and look the other way.

I know everyone likes being scared of the boogeyman but advanced sensors ptl Kylo ends up tokenless if he gets super squirrelly. Not going to pretend it's going to be bad but 45ish points riding on no tokens and no regen seems risky. Strong? Probably. Dominating like some other things? Meh

He'll have thrusters, title and Palp though.

lol gotta love this place; I think some people have a mental block about been happy/positive

it's been...not even a day, right?

sorry I'm working (procrastinating) on postgrad apps and every hour feels like an eternity

God's speed, I'm dealing with the med schools so I know the feeling

I have reservations about kylo... although after this FAQ and the gunboat I have faith in the devs

I am quite optimistic. Sure, the developers are looking forward to new releases, and these newly released ships health on the mat I think was their actual motivation for the FAQ, over the subsequent lifting older chassis. However, it is definitely better now, no question.

Kylo will be squirrely, but having but three red dice and no double-tap or other kinda mod will keep him in the very good but not OP category; remember, bombs and high-output alphas are still FFG’s love child at the moment.

The game is mending well, after being released from ICU yesterday. ???

Jumpmaster has finally been fixed for the intended as produced product of Dengar and Punishing one.

Biggs is finally going to allow some open design space for Rebel ships.

Has X-Wing been saved?

It was never in danger. Didn’t think Biggs needed a fix on the first place. His ability wasn’t a game breaker. I think a pilot skill like Wompa’s was far more frustrating to fly against.

X-Wing is dead! Long live Starwing the Miniature Games!

Perhaps, but I'll be damned if the guy from the half-dollar Martin Sheen doesn't make it a lot funnier than I would have.

X-Wing will be saved upon the gunship’s release. Haven’t you been paying attention?

They're releasing a Gunship?!

That's the picture I came to see! :D
Glad to see I wasn't let down.

X-Wing's demise was greatly exaggerated.
