If I were designing this game, read all the whining on this board about the x-wing fix, why it's bad for the game, what needs to be fixed still, and all the generally ungrateful negativity, I would sit down to design

THE INCREDABLY OP YUUZHAN VONG WAVE OF SHIPS

that slaughters every current ship in the game.

I would gloat while everyone bought them to win, then I would hit them all with the ban hammer.

Then I would say, "hey, it's just the story arc of the game."

But I'm kind of a jerk that way.

I'd probably design a wave that looks like shite, but release it along with an errata that makes it crazy OP and broken, all so I could later reference the forums as poor judges of power to justify any future complaints.

CYA, in official medical parlance.

I like the new wave

And y'all know how pessimistic I am

Anybody who would set up a Vong ship, deserves whatever you have planned for them.

Just release a ship with a picture of the troll meme face on a stick, give it 7 attack dice, 4 agi, 10 hull, 10 shields, generics start at 15 cost. Package "TIE Fighter/Interceptor" Title fix in the blister

Log the whiner IP addresses and make wave 15 into Vong, but the rest of us just see the regular wave. Then they can have the persecution they’ve always craved.

It’s true, this man is a jerk. (Ghostbusters reference)

Vong would be interesting to introduce. Mainly because their star fighter weaponry is useless against shields, and they required specialised craft to disrupt them.

As for trolling. I'd love for a JM5K-equivalent OP pack to be released in between tournament seasons with the announcement that the wave would be a 'limited run'. A week before the next tournament season begins, the ship receives an incredible nerf in the form of a points doubling for all pilots in the pack. I guess they're not doing anything wrong, technically...

I actually decided to attempt a re-read of the NJO , and I'm 3/4s of the way through Vector Prime right now. I would love to see the Vong in the game, even if only for the occasional "WTF?" moments. Faction identity would be easy, as pretty much every upgrade would be unique, and I could see some of their stuff being ridiculously overpowered. Dovin Basal attack that if it hits, strips all shields? Yammosk war coordinator to offer free actions to multiple ships? Oh boy. At the very least, a NJO/Vong themed version of the HotAC could be really cool, as players could play as NR, Empire, or Scum, banding together to try and stop the invaders.

Never Vong. Not even as a joke.

If you look at impact on the fanbase, TLJ and the Vong have a lot in common. The last thing Star Wars needs is more hugely divisive content.

Disney destroyed the Vong far more thoroughly than any Skywalker or Solo ever could have.

If they want to do a troll wave.... only 1 die jank ships.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure Disney is destroying the Skywalkers and Solos more thoroughly than the Vong ever could have as well.

I don't post a whole lot in this forum, tending to lurk and enjoy. But I do follow certain people because they tend to post well thought out positions, they tend to provide valuable insight, they provide thought provoking information, or they simply make me laugh.

In the past @ficklegreendice, you have done all of the above. This post, however, is the best. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this bit of understatement. Well done. Very well done.

You all want it!

WE all know it!

WE all neeed it!

Yodas Pod from episode 3

I hope the Y-wing shows up in wave 15. If we are re-visiting old ships with new sculpts and upgrades, the Y-wing is the most essential. The Y-wing mini is pretty crap. You know what, throw it in with a nice blue TIE fighter from the Gozanti.

TIE fighter gets a PS2 generic with a pilot ability (ships that you are touching cannot perform actions) and a PS9 Ace.

Y-wing gives us a version of Horton with an EPT and I don't care what else.

Keyen Farlander Y-wing pilot at PS7 with EPT and same ability, 24 points.

The Keyan Stress-bot is well known in HotAC. It's a little ridonkulous.

coran horn in an x wing?

Or please for the love of all plastic in the universe

Give us the TIe Hunter, but only with rebell pilots!

@ficklegreendice posts are rather hilarious, good and reliable source of laughter. ?
