Reminder: FFG New Ship Preview livestream Today, Tues the 17th

By Hiemfire, in X-Wing

Just a friendly reminder for those interested. We're 4 days out from the next X-Wing focused stream.

https://www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2019/11/27/ffg-live-in-december-1/

Stream is today at 1pm Central US time. I'll link the You Tube side when it is up (Twitch hates my internet connection).

Thanks, really curious about the Fireball and what it can do.

I really hope that this is in conjunction with a new wave announcement. I need my Razorcrest.

FO needs a bomber and mini-shuttle too, pretty badly IMO.

TIE Dagger or Whisper wouldn't go amiss either, but not as badly needed.

And of course more pilot packs and/or a campaign set for OT players would be fantastic.

Some hints about the new points costs would be icing on the cake for me, but probably too much to hope for...

While the Razorcrest would be a nice addition, we probably won't see it till wave 8-9, probably 9.

Looking forward to this!

Do we know if they’re doing any of the card pack stuff or just fireball/Vonreg?

We have no idea. Lack of specific wave reference means they could be announcing Wave VII for all we know.

My guess? Pyroclastic explosion with little provocation. That is what fireballs are typically known for. :)

for real! that ship is pure blood-thunder. the show model is a kitbashed mist hunter, so i've been considering making my own, but the FFG release will be way prettier. guess we gotta wait

Hopefully we'll get some info on the "Stabilized s-foils" card for the B-wing !

Is it really?!

If so, that might lead to an interesting and acceptable way to re-release the Mist Hunter for 2.0: an updated “Razorcrest” model, title, and pilots, along with the older pilots & title, too. Then stick the new stuff in a future card pack.

I love the G-1A, but it could use at least one more title. Some higher-I pilots would be icing on the cake, too. Imagine an I2 Mandalorian Mercenary, I4 Mando Supporting Cast Character, and I5 “The Mandalorian.”

Edit: I dunno man, I haven’t seen the show yet

B-Wing news! B-Wing news! B-WING NEWS!

I have many unrealistic expectations.

Real talk, though: I half wonder if we’re going to get a Resistance B-Wing, and that’s why there are foils in the card pack. I mean they JUST rereleased the Rebel one; that would’ve been a very natural time to put foils out there, if they’d been planning B-Wing foils all along.

True, but all the 2.0 releases that wee also in the conversion kit have not had any new content in them. The only way to release the con-fig is through the packs. Otherwise we would all be angry at buying a conversion kit AND new models. (Although I love my flappy, spiny B-Wing!)

Prediction: at most we will see one new pilot from the card pack that’s largely been spoiled already through internet sleuthing.

maybe we will see a pilot for the fireball.

The truly cool stuff will not be there at all

Well if they are showing off the two new ships in a demo, we might see the card pack pilots too alongside the new ships.

I think its going to just be the 2 ships but I would be thrilled it if they went over aces and hotshots as well. I would like confirmation on how deplete works as well.

Also I wouldnt be surprised for an announcement in the next couple weeks for the next wave.

I'd like to see the BTA-NR2 Y-Wing appear as a surprise. Quote me if this happens, I'll be at work.

Edited first post. I'll link the You Tube stream there when it goes live.

The twitch title is "FFG Live: X-Wing- Showing off the Fireball and Major Vonreg's TIE!"

Not looking good for anyone that wanted to see new wave material based on that.

Below are the questions they stated they would answer from Discord. The different ways they put this information out is annoying, but restating that over and over here won't be helpful to anyone, just posting in case anyone was interested in the quesitons.

Some ships (eg TIE Defender, TIE Advanced-not-named-Vader, e-wings, many other “premium” types) are not seeing play due to their excessive cost, but are too close to a break point (i.e. triple defenders in a list) to be reduced in points. Are there plans to address this in the near future that you can discuss?

This question will also be asked in person on the stream tomorrow.

You said in previous Q&A sessions that you are aware of the negative play experiences caused by (weaker) existing tractor mechanics such as the quadjumper- Why did you decide to use the automatic assignment of tractor tokens for the Nantex's core mechanic?

We'll talk about this question in person on the stream tomorrow!

You Tube Stream linked in OP.

Audio problems first attempt. They're restarting. Stream link in OP.

We’ve already seen way more Than I thought we would. Can anyone provide screenshots? They were just too hard to read on my screen
