The EPIC Survey Thread

By Darth Meanie, in X-Wing

So, it does seem like a lot of people are excited about Epic. Y'all know I am :)

So out of curiosity:

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? Yes.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? I played (pretty much exclusively).

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Yes.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Large multi-player games and Missions.

Edited by Darth Meanie

No, no, no, no(?), N/A.
I'm assuming "Epic missions" and "Epic" are separate things here?

Simply boils down to budget. For a single huge ship, i can get multiple smaller ships i'll use far more often. And i'm not really a fan of any of the existing huge ships.

Epic mode is another matter, i'm doubtful how practical it is though. Might work in local store, but almost certainly can't play at home (for lack of space).

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? No.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? Theorycrafted only.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Maybe.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0?  More options, better able to more fully theme a list.

o You Own Huge Ships Already? Yup, all of them

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? I played a few times

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? I will where and when I can

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Absolutely!

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? It's new stuff to do in X-Wing. I love X-Wing and adding new ways to play something I love is always more gooder.

1) Yes

2) I've played only like 3 games in 1st ed Epic

3) Yes

4) Definitely

5) I love the Huge models, and really enjoy creating and running lists with a ton of ships

Do  You Own Huge Ships Already? Yes. (Just missing C-ROC, but that may soon change)

Did You Play  Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? Yes. I played 2-3 times a year.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes. Oh yes!

Do You Plan To Play Epic   Missions? Yes.

What is Your Biggest Draw to  Epic 2.0? Run large thematic squads alongside amazing larger ships. Bonus answer: ships that under perform in standard can find their place in Epic.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? Played

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Yes.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Including many friends in a large non-competitive thematic campaign! Our local group had more fun and involvement with HotAC than competitive play. Looking forward to bringing that back.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)?

 Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions?

 What is Your Biggest Dra  w to Epic 2.0?

  1. Yes
  2. yes
  3. yes
  4. yes
  5. cinematic type visuals. Reminds me of Endor when the fighters are diving between those big ships

Do You  Own Huge Ships Already? Yes.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? I played a few team epics with my oldest son (then 7)

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Probably. My oldest dropped out of competitive play and the middle son is not really interested either. Kitchen table standard matches don't work so well now.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Most likely.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Getting to play x-wing with y sons again.

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? Yes.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? I played about 5 games total

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Depends. If they offer some sort of campaign: definitely

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Can't say yet

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? I played some, usually a summer monthly game league.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes. Probably not 200 point games, but in huge games or epics they’re a must.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Very much yes.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Campaign/mission potential. Can’t wait to play a game with my ships where the goal may not be “kill as much as you can”. I’m also super stoked for the idea of a campaign to play a series of missions through to get to a final conclusion. I feel like this is what epic should have been all along, and am hoping since the missions are being sold separately that they’re way more detailed than the little cinematic mode that came inside the 1.0 boxes.

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? Yes (the small ones: 2x GR75, 1 Gozanti, 1 C-Roc)

Did you play Epic in 1.0 or Were They Dustables? Yes. Mostly escorts style missions with the kids, or Gozanti attacking pirate base.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? OH YES!

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? OH YES - 400/6 Deathmatch format is boring. I have some ideas for a mission tree, but too much real life going on, and too many hobbies, so progress is slow.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Wars normally not consisted of snubfighters going one on one, normally some objective involved. Hopefully good mission/scenario packs coming (e. g. including permadeath of pilots in a campaign) Some of the missions coming with the Huges in 1ed were not good though (e.g. Tantive ones), hope FFG puts much more effort in this time! Battle of Scarif pack would be nice.

Also, wings of generics ditching it out, instead of always the same high Ini superaces packed to the gills with shenaniganz.

Do You Own Huge Ships Already?

Yeah, but I have to repurchase a Raider because I used mine for kitbashes :)

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables?

I played it a bit, only a couple games though. More commonly we used them for random custom/homebrew stuff

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)?

Yeah definitely! Might not get many games in but I'll see if people are ok with them in 200 point games (if the rules are redesigned to make them more fair in that format).

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions?

Yup. Seems fun.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? 

More official options for custom campaigns and stuff. It is too bad some of them weren't redesigned to be workable in competitive 200/6...

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? No.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0? No.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? No, but that could change depending on the full details. If they add a Huge ship I really like, or they release some sort of box set I want that happens to have one, that might make a difference.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Possibly, they definetly sound interesting.

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? Yes.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? Dustables, sadly.

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Yes.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? More ships, fewer upgrades!

I bought a C-ROC after 2.0 released because I was hoping to be able to use it.

I'll be happy to try pretty much everything Epic has to offer, if my playgroup will have it.

Yes. 9 huge ships owned and played with.

And full squadrons of some small ships.

I wants my epic!

Yes to everything.

Biggest attraction is missions and scenarios with my boys. Both are far more interested in the role play element of X Wing, through campaigns, exp and playing as a team, than standard 200pt vs deathmatches.

Do You Own Huge Ships Already? Yes.

Did You Play Epic in 1.0, or Were They Dustables? Rarely, though I would have played more if I could have .

Do You Plan to Play Huge Ships in 2.0 (in Standard/Huge/Epic battles)? Yes.

Do You Plan To Play Epic Missions? Yes.

What is Your Biggest Draw to Epic 2.0? Larger battles were ships that might underperform in Extended/Hyperspace will possibly have a chance to be useful.
