Good, I'll be getting a couple of those. Thanks.

Well, wave 6 isn’t going to make the Ghost cheaper. If you really want a Rebels themed list (as in the show, not the faction), you’re going to want to pick it up.

If you meant just the faction, the Falcon in wave 4 will do a much better job.

Thanks for your comments! Rebels as in faction... (though a themed list for Rebels would be better if I picked up Sabine's TIE) I only have 2nd Ed Rebels cards from the starter at this moment despite a few ships (2x X, 1x U, ARC and Falcon), so it hasn't yet been worth the cost of the conversion kit.

Yeah, good for low init ships that want to lock things. It's a Sensor slot.

Yeah it's a nice pair with SNR for action efficiency. Depends on points though. I've been running those Inquisitors in 3s and 4s with SNR and FCS to pretty decent effect, and I've never really found myself hurting for a target lock, but if it's cheap...

In that case, depending on which you’d rather do for purchasing I’d either scoop up the Falcon expansion in wave 4 or, because that alone is $40 msrp... for only $10 more you get all the stuff for your other ships as well. I don’t want to tel you where the value line is between conversion kit and new models, but regardless of your path selection the Falcon is a solid choice for a Rebel faction list.

I would also scoop up a Ywing or two (new pack is fine, unless you get a killer deal on the old plastic).

If you sqint hard it looks like anakins y can spend a force to change difficulty of a maneuver. First purple maneuver?

So activation phase move and action as normal, then start of engagement you get a free TL action? Seems decent.

Almost. It substitutes your action step. Slightly complicated.... Has a charge that you spend as an action. With the charge inactive, you cannot be coordinated but you can then take a calc or lock action before you engage. The charge regens in the end phase.

Will be all sorts of useful.

Very nice. Sort of a delayed action, but you still get the calc option if the TL isn't on. I like it.

I'm glad. I'd hate to have to buy 4 more just to have folding wings, and end up with of them, because that's exactly what I'd do.

Meanwhile I'm upset about having to rebuy the sheathipede (I have the 1.0 phantom 2, but never got around to buying ghost+phantom). I suppose the OG phantom will be a standalone pack, later..?

At least it's a fancy new docking one. I just didn't want to end up with nine TAPs just because I wanted a fancy moving wing on the four I can actually fit in a decent list...

...which is likely what would have happened because folding wings.

So this may have been said... Currently the TIE v1 doesn't have a Mod slot, and currently the TIE v1 quickbuilds don't use Afterburners. Who knows.

I'd assume the expansion comes with new quickbuilds that do use ABs.

Or the card's there just as an extra for the Empire, i know i could use yet another copy. (But i've got enough v1s already so.)

Cannot say I am excited about this wave. I basicky am a S&V player. I do have a little bit of Rebels and a small force for the republic. I do like the Y-wing. Might pick up one. Not excited about the ghost, or the JM5K. However. That new paint job om the Syck!!!! I have 5 already, do I need a 6th?!!! Probably not, but it is tempting.

SNAP SHOT A-Wings are BACK! Well...maybe, I can’t make out the text on the card so I don’t know how the new snap shot works.

What about Snap Shot Res As for some rear arc snappiness!

Snap Shot is a front arc attack so the target has to be in the front arc in Range 2. Still useful, just not out the ***.

I was really hoping for the red FO interceptor from the resistance show.

I'm wondering if we're more likely to get a different FO interceptor now.

We're not. That INT/SF and the one Vonreg flies are two veeeeery different ships.

So targeting computer just gives a lock action and all that text is flavor text? Can anybody read it?

For sequel ships, they're likely getting revealed later, in another wave, to coincide with the film marketing proper. Or perhaps they'll just wait a bit more to avoid "oversized TIE Silencer" issues.
There's also that ships shown in the Resistance have limited detail available (publicly anyhow), and FFG might be waiting for details getting hammered down before creating X-wing version of the ships, to avoid "TIE Silencer has no ordnance" issue from first edition.

Furthermore, there's the gameplay side. What kind of ships could the First Order and Resistance use at the moment (i mean, ignoring YT-1300/StarFortress and Upsilon re-releases)? To me, it seems that both factions could use small to medium dedicated ordnance carriers (TIE Bombers, Y-wings, the like) at the moment, yet we've seen neither faction possess such ships on screen (or any medium as far as i know).
For the FO, both Vonreg's TIE and probably the new TIE seemingly fill the "cheap interceptor" niche (or something close enough), but they're getting "expensive interceptor"- the TIE Silencer - soon, so neither ship may be appropriate right now. Though then again Scum got Z-95 and then the Scyk, so role/niche may not be influencing FFG's release schedule.
I do wonder if the next wave will be revealed before Force Friday though, if yes, it probably will come with Upsilon and either large ship for the Resistance.

Doesn't look to be italicized so could be a puddle of word soup from **** to explain something involving the upgrade.

Call me silly, but SNR Y wing torpedo Anakin could be fun. Not good, but for sure fun. On a more serious note, I'm hoping that it has a crew slot and not a gunner slot. Most of my Oddball success has been with seasoned navigator, but he is so hard to fly optimally because of the amount of blue on the arc dial. The atrocity that is the Y wing dial should make him more optimized.

As a Republic player, I'm disappointed that instead of the myriads of clones and Jedi, the same few fly many of the ships. Yes, diversity in applying abilities, but limitations in high init squads. As a rebel dabbler, I cannot tell how often I am disappointed that the best Y and best ARC cannot be fielded side by side. As an Imperial/FO main, I miss having Kylo in the shuttle as an alternative to ace Kylo and the glory of Maarek Stele in the defender.

Right. My point was that the one in the film seems more likely than the one from the cartoon.

Yeah not feeling this wave. I was hoping the old factions might get something fun or at least access to material that’s new.

Guess I have to wait for the card pack that they said is coming but won’t be until wave 6 or later. They really want us to buying the new two factions I see.

I'm excited to see the Republic Y-Wing, since that will be my favored 2.0 faction.

The rest I don't need, but I'll certainly grab a Scyk repaint.

Not sure if this came up yet, but no Attack Shuttle (Phantom 1} with the Ghost??

Also, I saw the TIE Silencer resculpt at Celebration. It's gonna take some time to adjust to how small it is. . .

I think The Ghost comes with both shuttles. I've seen images of the rear of the Ghost model with a removable Attack Shuttle back there. My theory is that it'll come with the Sheathapede AND an Attack Shuttle with TINY folding wings, or a SECOND Attack Shuttle with open wings... but if not, at least those of us buying the Ghost a second time will have the joy of having an open wing version of the shuttle to use

Yeah... but for a faction with 7 known ships, giving 4 of them autothrusters almost seems lazy. Because we have:

• TIE/vn Silencer

• Vonreg’s TIE Interceptor

• The new SF Interceptor

• The spoiled triangular FO Interceptor from the merchant poster
