Which upcoming product are you excited about?

  • Huge Ships and Epic Play
  • New Multiplayer Modes
  • New Pilots in Hotshots & Aces
  • K2-SO finally joining the game after 3 years
  • New types of Obstacles
  • New Bombs, Mines, and other Payloads
  • Environment Cards
  • Major Vonreg's TIE
  • Fireball
  • Wave 6 Ship Re-Releases (Saw's Renegades, TIE Reaper, Hound's Tooth, TIE Interceptor, TIE/D Defender, RZ-1 A-Wing)

Any way to set it up to permit multiple picks? I see a lot in that list I want to check off (including Hotshots and Aces, my current anger at Coaxium being in it aside).

Yup, the goal is to allow multiple picking, which is easy to set up with this poll. I should probably name it "Which upcoming product(s) are you excited about?", to make that clearer.

Im a homebrew casual these days, but my brother and I got fairly competetive awhile back. gotta say the game simply isnt designed for it. Xwing provides enough tactical decision making to be interesting to strategy gamers, but its really too unbalanced to be a game of skill. I mean its dice based FFS! And after Esports showed big companies that its profitable to market kids games as serious tests of skill its just gotten so toxic, I just dont think competition is worth the effort anymore. I dont need to repeatedly watch some tryhard stress sweat through a game with whatever meta list is statistically likely to win.

Way rather work on my Kitbash Scum carrier fleet and send those sexy Scyks to their certain doom for laughs, you know?

Last two days. I have the next poll ready to go live on Friday.

I'm really happy to see I'm not the only one here who plays mostly casual. Some days I get the feeling it's competitive-or-go-home. ;)
