Well done FFG!

By princeyg, in X-Wing

First off, this is not a sarcastic post..

Having seen the bare minimum of reveals of both the Tie Reaper and the dastardly rebel set, all I can think of is"**** Yeah!!!! Looks like good times a-coming.

As a mostly casual gamer even i have noticed the disparancy between the older ships and some of the newer ones, yet, after what I have seen from the new cards so far all I can say say is Woooooo!!!!!!

X-wings look like they could be truly class and the support for the Imps in the Tie Reaper (its a great looking ship) pack is making me really excited!!

Lets get some optimism going here everyone!

What are you looking forward to trying/buying/talking about currently/in future/anything you haven't got yet but want to try.....

Im looking forward to playing X-Wing!

Let's see the result before being too happy about it.

I remember pages of flame war after the reveal of Targeting Astromech, or worse, R3 ;)

Heh!! yes exactly!!!! I`m looking forward to pitting my (frankly awesom) black squadron list against a bunch of x-wings that won't seem like such a pushover!!

If they add the Scum Falcon and TIE cannon-pod thingy from the Solo film to the wave, I’ll buy one of every ship for a change. Add the Scum corvette to fill the missing SKU and I’ll be in Cinematic Play heaven.

BOOO!!! Pessimism!!! frankly the only thing we have found that is wrong with x-wings is lack of repositioning...this looks set to change that.

Definitley agree that previous fixes have done little, but the whole thing with possible (and I repeat possible) T-rolls just looks too great (and this from a purely imp player.....)

Murphy’s law of X-wing: for every positive forum post, there will be a front page of negativity.

But who cares about the front page? U-WINGZZZZZZZZZZZZZ

We need a new core set : 1x blue squadron xwing with 2x tie inferno squadron ! :P

I'm really stoked about Director Krennic. I want to put that condition on PS 11 Vader...

Now that is nice of you, but comeon, somewhere inside of you, you have always dreaded this to happen... :P

Krennic? I didnt even know he was in the pack (its only logical of course, just like the rebels got their K2SO crew...) so what does he do?

Wrong. Raw efficiency is also a problem, and repositioning won't change that. It will help high PS pilots, but do much less good to the generics.

Improve a galactic empire ship in his list by assigning a condition. Regardless of how good he is going to be (and I'd say he has a good chance of being pretty decent), he gets two thumbs up for creativity and theme.

You can read parts of the condition in the upgrade fan, if there is another upside this could be really good. Else it can still be decent on the right ship.

Cool thanks! Looking forward to the article on this, we all know it is coming!

In addition to Krennic and Death Troopers, there's Systems Officer(s) in the pack, and two other new officers (Tactical Officer and ISB Agent) too.

Throw in Fleet Officer, Intelligence Officer, Operations Specialist, Agent Kallus and a few others, and the Imperials are building a decent pool of officers to draw from. Combine (hopefully) with a manoeuvrable, reasonably combat-worthy crew platform and you've got a lot of potential

This! ^

Even better: make it a campaign box .

Well looking forward to getting Rebel set...love the new U-Wing.... :)

Both the renegade set and TIE Reaper are great! But we still need some Battle of Scarif X-wing and Y-wing love ...

Now we just need TIE Fighters back in the game.

the sad thing is... Assaj and Dash will still come in and kill everyone. Followed up by the overload Kannan Fenn.

but I will still be flying X-wings with a huge smile on my face!

Optimistically, I'm not gonna play XWING Rebels again until we get some Green Squadron Packs (Y-wing & T-65).

I am looking forward to this as well. I'm hoping this pushes the T-65s to the power level of GUNBOATS, as in actually more efficient than T-70s, because this game was based off of the T-65. I am fine with the T-65 being a tad OP.

If this fix makes them as powerful as the updated Kihraxz then I will still be happy.

Don’t worry, after the reveal article for the X-wing fix cards the forums will lament for a tie fighter fix. Expect it wave 15.

I'm always down for more core sets! I have two of each and I still feel like I never have enough damage decks, maneuver templates, and dice. More types of obstacles would be awesome too.
