FFG Is Being Nice!

By Astech, in X-Wing

I've just realised that the resistance bomber has three copies of Trajectory simulators in it, which happens to be the maximum that any squad can effectively use at the moment. It's nice that they didn't limit it to one in the pack, thus forcing everyone looking to have bombing fun at a system open to buy 3 big-box packs.

It also contains two copies of Advanced Optics, which is super nice.

There have to be limits to keep costs down, but it looks like they're listening to the runewars and legion feedback about upgrade cards across the board...

Now hopefully we'll get a pre-holidays reveal of the Scarif Veterans Expansion Pack, with multiple copies of FLight Assist Astromech...

I'm not greedy I'm enthusiastic

And 2 Conners but no Proton Bombs.

?

They're also including THREE copies of Saturation Salvo this wave.

In case you need bookmarks I guess?

But still no Conner Nets in ANY Imperial or Scum sets >:(

And two Primed Thrusters !

And Integrated Astromech. So it's mathematically possible to ever equip your whole force with them, you know?

To be fair there were multiple copies of Integrated in Heroes of the Resistance, but yeah, another source for them wouldn't go amiss.

While I accept this as a technicality, a Perfectly Normal Player(tm) who buys even one of everything can be expected at this point to have no less than six X-wing variants, and ... three Integrated Astromechs? And two Falcons.

Having to buy extra Falcons in order to equip the X-wings feels a little bit incongruous at that point. ;)

TWO AUTOTHRUSTERS!!!
I mean, who doesn't already have 2?

I know, right? I mean, the Autothruster Expansion Pack came with two. That ExPac was a steal, considering that they threw in a whole ship model for free with the two cards!

Guess I was doing it wrong, because I was flying Guri instead of looking at only the autothrusters.

Lone Wolf Guri, Virago, Sensor Jammer, Autothrusters is amazeballs. And now 2 points cheaper!

3 points cheaper.

And Intensity is probably better than Lone Wolf.

Me. But feeding a family and paying a mortgage is more important than tiny space ships. I'm funny like that. What I need is for my family to live in a spaceship.

Pff, just have them live with you in a box fort made from X-Wing packaging to have more money for the really important things in life, like tiny space ships :P

Hey, anybody wants to mail me their "extra" 'Vipers, I have a wide range of paint jobs I want to try out. I'll give them a good home, I promise!

Seriously. I only buy Imperial ships, so if I hadn't watched a few tournaments on Youtube I wouldn't have known they existed.

Since we allow players to just print out from an online builder, everyone has an infinite amount of everything !!

Inglorious.

Interesting, but I am trying to think of cases where you would want 3 or even 6 trajectory simulators. FFG could have just given us 2 and we would be good. The Resistance Bomber doesn't have that high of a squadron point cost where you could put 2 in a decent list.

Honestly it isn't when FFG only puts a copy of said popular upgrade (such as autothrusters) in a ship that people call it stingy. It is when they only put 1 upgrade such as comes relay especially when it is likely there would already be multiple ships that would use the upgrade.
