I genuinely desire Rebel cardboard for the N1. It's seriously only right.

And at least one Black Sun pilot option for the Syck, since they dedicated a whole new paint job to that syndicate even though all of it's named pilots were enemies of the Black Sun. Is there still a feasible point slot for another generic perhaps?

Maarek Steele in everything, other than a crew carrier.

Card packs! Let's make this happen!

Priority #1, FFG!

Personally, using card packs as a way to move existing pilots around to different chassis would be the most disappointing way to use them.

There are a few notable exceptions (like Hera in an A-Wing, for example), but I would rather see the packs add new material, not just recombine the old.

100% Agree. It's okay to have the Specters on multiple platforms since a) we have so much screen time with them, and b) they're literally the only ones available for 3 ships.

People like Anakin make sense on multiple platforms since he's such a central character and a great ace (and I like the different ability/initiative for child Anakin).

I could see the same approach for Hera (different ability/initiative, multiple ships) but more than two new ships would be excessive. I'd like to see her on the A-Wing and B-Wing with a Stress-based ability, probably similar to Tycho's. "You may perform actions while you have one stress token. After you perform a red action, you may remove one stress token." Gives a ton of flexibility to the A-Wing and B-Wing chassis without tying her to stress the way Ten, Braylen, and Tycho are.

So she could sloop and then focus-boost, but then she couldn't do it the next turn because she'd end with a stress. She could do a Tallon-roll on the B-Wing, then focus-roll, but she'd be stuck to one of the pitiful blues before she wants to do another red.

Might make Composure too good on her though, but it wouldn't be that broken on an A-Wing since it's kinda wimpy, and it couldn't be abused on the B-Wing because the focus action comes before the roll anyway.

I think Hera's current ability as it is would be amazeballs on both A- and B-Wings, but I like the ideas you (Moser) have as well. Maybe either make a second pilot card (with a different subtitle) or keep Hera as-is and give your suggested new abiities to a new pilot (like Gina Moonsong).

I do NOT want Tycho to have the exact same ability as he did in 1.0 though. I didn't like having to cart around 5 million stress tokens. I'd rather see something like your "remove one stress after taking a red action" idea for him, or something charge-based, that is virtually the same in practice without the bookkeeping.

Still haven't been announced. It's making me sad.

I know it hasn't been that long since Celebration, but we literally haven't gotten any new content articles in the last month, and Wave IV is right around the corner. Seems a litle strange to be getting so little. Even Legion and Destiny haven't had much, and Armada and Imperial Assault are just as blank as ever.

Hoping Epic and Card packs get a good announcement soon. Game's obviously in a great place and tons of fun, but my pilots want more friends.

As a Scum player, the thing I'm hoping for most are Illicits. Right now everything feels too dependent on specialized builds, and it seems like Rebel Han is making better use of Illicits than Scum is. With no new ships on the horizon (not that Scum needs more), without card packs we'll be stuck with what we've got for a long time. I personally would love having 2.0-ified Scavenger Crane, Hot-shot Blaster & Glitterstim.

I'm all for extra pilots though, especially Star Viper pilots. I would love to have Thweek back. Take away Shadowed so he doesn't just become 'Star Viper ace' and step on Guri's toes, and give him 1 non recurring charge and Mimicked to let him play around with whatever's on the field that isn't a generic or force user. Like grabbing Jendon's ability to give everyone locks T1, or getting Grievous' "Outmaneuver" rerolls, or Sabine's free pre-repositioning. Getting generic I4 Black Sun Vigos or Xizor's niece Savan would be nice luxuries, or anyone else they can think of to put into the Viper's pilot seat.

Atleast 1 new pilot for each of the ships stuck with only 3 pilots would be nice too. At the very least, bringing Eaden Vrill & Commander Kenkirk back for the YT-2400 & Decimator.

Are you going to drudge up every old thread to do with Card Packs to proclaim the end of the world/game? It's cluttering up the place.

Why are you so sad? Is it the concept of card packs, or the contents of these particular ones?

A. I'm not sure the app ever got out of the swamp to be able to go down a hill.

B. What?? Wave 6 is announced as per business as usual. The card packs are essentially bonus Xwing. What is there to be pissy about???

You've posted this or similar thoughts on multiple threads now. Do you have any particular reasons for believing so, or are you just trying to increase the chances of someone coming across such comments and laughing years from now, when the game's still going strong?

Maarek Stele in his Defender.

More Interceptor pilots

Leia in a N-1 for Rebels

Burnout Slam. Scum falcon needs this as its just not quite seeing enough competitive play.

Seems to have dropped off the radar in hyperspace and this is where scum needs the most help imo.

Considering your previous proclamations of doom didn’t come to pass, you’ll forgive me if I won’t just take your word for it. Care to actually provide data to back up your claim?

Maybe Linked red Coordinate, similar to interceptor reposition. Probably some restriction, since it would be powerful.

The old Rogue Squadron: Wes, Tycho, and Hobbie.

Along with Tycho, a high Initiative RZ-1 pilot if Tycho doesn't come in at i5.

The rest of Gold squadron: Pops, and Tiree.

Scariff Blue Squadron pilots for the X-wing, at least Merrick and Barion.

If Maarek Stele is sticking around, let's see Keyan Farlander brought back. Y-wing, B-wing, X-wing, A-wing, whatever.

More pilots (let's see Ciena Ree!), and some kind of modification to make TIE interceptors not so "poppable". Or a points reduction? Love Soontir, but fielding generics doesn't feel great. I'm probably just a really poor TIE/in pilot though.
