Empty Pipeline!

By evanger, in X-Wing

The X-wing product pipeline is currently empty.

Very rare event, historically. We should be hearing about at least a few new products to last us through the doldrums of Dec-Jan.

We've lasted 2 months or so, recently, with only a single product heading our way.

I'd think we'll at the very least hear about SWX71 soon (how about right after the movie releases)?

I'm good with a bit of a breather. With the C-ROC and Guns For Hire effectively re-introducing the Scyk, StarViper and Khiraxz to the Scum, plus five new ships released last week, the game has given us a ton of new toys to play with over the coming months.

yeah with just gunboats/silencers alone i have like 7 lists i need to playtest lol

Havnt even tried to make a list with the bug or kimo yet and the only bomber list i have was more of a joke than anything else (10 bombs....)

Some new movie ships and I'll be fine for another 2 months.

I am currently 100% content with nothing in the pipeline. After Christmas Id like to have the announcement of a first order vs resistance campaign box, accompanied by 3 ships, namely resistance awing, fo bomber and a yet unknown TLJ scum ship.

A man can dream.

3 ships in one box, each with at least one pilot per faction.

Again, a man can dream.

Oh man, this would be awesome. I'm ready for some sub-faction-based list building.

All I want is the RZ-2 A-Wing, and Aphra's ship (to get BT and trip0)

*Dotswarlock's mangled wallet comes out of its pocket*: "Is it safe? Are you sure? I heard whispers of a missing SKU? How big could it possibly be? There's only so much I can take!"

I wouldn't mind a bit of a breather, but I'm expecting something on Friday after the movie comes out and spoilers are less of an issue...

The reprint pipeline however.... and they said x-wing was dead!

Wish I had bought a raider when people were selling them after buying one just for palps for 40-60 dollars.

The Summer of '15 was a dark time for our wallets.

I am fine with the empty pipeline. Now I just need more time to play again.

I fully intend to keep all my ships on the mat at some time, even if I have to figure out janky reasons to casually fly something never used anymore. HotAC, period correct games, epics etc. everything must see the light of day.

Seriously, if they could get the Raider re-printed already, that would be great.

If it's a big enough spoiler that we can't have had absolutely any glimpse of it at all before the movie came out...

...man, that'd suck for FFG to put up an article on Friday and ruin the surprise/twist/whatever for anyone going to see the film over the weekend.

Given how little FFG seems to know in advance, I would think they aren’t capable of spoiling anything.

Lets get through system opens without any new ships

True, true.

My suspicion is that there's a merch push scheduled for the day after the release which FFG are part of.

Considering my Visa card melted Thursday the break is needed for the replacement to arrive. Besides, time is needed to play with these beautiful models.

2nd Edition maybe.

Reprinting all the ships and putting in a card rotation (models stay, pilots get replaced with a new reprint, upgrades rotate out so all the OP and the useless gets replaced with the new wave).

Really that is the only way to fix the meta, the Jumpmaster was a perfect storm of trying to not remake the same mistake that was the Wave 4 TIE Defender and give their Scum a turret that can compare to Fat Han. Now 5 nerfs and a completely ruined card list building system (as well as failing to remove the jumpmaster from the top of the meta). We have to have a system of removing older upgrades or changing overpowered and underpowered pilots and overpriced and underpriced ships and this is the best way that I can think of as well as keep the Table Top game on the Table top without requiring a connection to the internet for the latest update.

No ships in the pipeline fills me with excitement. It’s much better than when an announcement drops and none of the ships excite you. Then, you’re staring months of disappointment in the face before a new hope arrives. On average, I’ve only liked about one ship per wave for a half dozen waves now. Sooner, or later, there’s gotta be a wave that really hits home for me. I mean, the law of averages and all...
