Hotshots and Aces V02...A forum wish list.

By Dwing, in X-Wing

As the title says, here is a place to collect our wishes for pilots and ships we wish to see more content for in any future styled Hotshots and Aces packs.

My wish list would be.

Empire:

- Kir Kanos, Tie interceptor

- Carnor Jax, Tie Interceptor

- Royal Guard Pilot (generic pilot)

- Royal guard Title. Title that allows for the use of a new tie Interceptor dial with purple maneuvers. Dial would come in the pack together with the base inserts. ( I think FFG will do a royal guard tie at some point, this would be nice to get the content in a card upgrade pack, I already own 3 red ties, I don't want to buy another)

- Moff Gideon, Tee Fighter.

- The Client ( Werner Herzogs Mandalorian character) Probably Tie fighter, Maybe tie bomber but retrofitted with ship ability be a tie shuttle? Maybe an ability that lets you copy something from the defenders list, as he is an artisan and appreciates other cultures.

- M-OC, Tie Phantom...

Republic:

- Gavyn Sykes, N1 starfighter, because who don't want more zippy pilots. If he flies faster than 3, he may transfer one green token to a friendly ship at range 0-1?

- Captain Panaka, N1 starfighter, same reason as above.

- Leema Kai, N1 Starfighter...

Scum

- Scum Astromechs!!!

- Lobot, Mining guild tie... Only if we never get the cloudcar.

Rebels

- Jun Sato, YT-2400

- Sato's hammer title YT-2400

- Sato's Hammer crew?

- Tycho Celchu, A-wing

- Gemmer Sojan, A-wing.

- Trapper Wolf, X-wing

I got nothing for CIS, First Order or Resistance.

I want multi-dot limited pilots! And new faction talents! That say "non-limited only" on them!

5. You need them to be able to fly 5 Royal Guards together. Meanwhile, you can use them as Sabre Squadron Aces.

Tiree and Pops!!

All the rest of Red Squadron

General Merrick and all of Blue Squadron

Poe and Finn in a Stolen FO TIE

Aurra Sing in a YV-666.

Titles for all factions of Epic Ships!!

Commanders for all factions of Epic ships!!

Edited by Darth Meanie

Scum:

-Vaksai configuration

-Revenant title

-StarViper Mk.II configuration (-1 red, +1 shield, lose torp slot, gain cannon slot).

-The rest of the named Tansarii station scyk pilots.

I'll probably think of more later.

Scum.

Thweek... please, i3 with original ability.

Vaksai Config. (-1 point per Modification)

New generic pilots so we have i1-3 generics for all ships.

That last one goes for all factions πŸ‘

I want a fix to Rebel A wings.

Add a sensor slot, and give them some sort of unique talent that helps them shed stress, increase offensive consistency and give them a way to reload.

"while you preform an attack, if there is a friendly ship with this upgrade card equipped at range 0-2, you may spend one stress token to add one focus result After you preform an evade action you may preform a red reload action."

Super rough idea but I think it checks all the boxes! Also, YES TYCHO!

(also you neglected to mention separatist.......)

Yup I did... But I really don't know the names of any battledroids... Well R0-GR, Clone Wars veteran...

Clearly Reistance needs more I5 RZ-2 Aces!πŸ˜‚

Jokes aside

Poe - Falcon

Lando - Falcon

Another I5 T-70.

More Huge Ship titles and crew upgrades/commanders

More wing leader cards (I know, I know, Eta2 has one)

Lando Resistance Falcon

Poe Resistance Falcon

Resistance Wedge gunner

More N1 pilots

maarek stele in a gunboat

Scum Aurra Sing Firespray Pilot

  • More A-Wing pilots. IDGAF who, but I keep hoping for new abilities, rather than repeated 1e ones. I just find 1e Tycho boring, and dude deserves a cooler pilot ability.
  • More TIE Interceptor pilots. Vult Skerris is the top of my list, but he might be in the unconfirmed Imperial Squadron Pack for "Skystrike Academy." Again, I don't want just 1e abilites. Carnor Jax, if he comes back, needs entirely new text.
  • I want more of Clan Wren. Can Ursa fly a Fang? While you defend, if the attacker is in your firing arc, you may add 1 eye result. Say... Init 3?
    • Also, a configuration for G-1A that gives Gand Findsmen and Zuckuss the Force. That'd make these otherwise bland ships into something potentially interesting.
  • No clue for Resistance. They already have a tonne of T-70 pilots and RZ-2 pilots...
  • First Order... hrm... probably just more TIE/fo pilots. It's a nifty ship and having a few more "pocket ace" style pilots for it would be nice.
  • ARC/Torrent pilots who are higher init who aren't named Oddball.
  • At least one Higher Init Belbullab, plus some Tactical Relays that actually work with Belbullabs.

Scum Aurra Sing Firespray Pilot

This. I remember looking at the new Firespray and its pilots shown in the livestream and wondering "where's that scary lady with the antenna sticking out of her head?" She was in several episodes of the Clone Wars, so *somebody* should get her.

Didn’t Ezra and some of the Ghost crew fly A-Wings in some episodes? Not sure their abilities make any ship super viable but could be something. Maybe Sabine would be nice with the new a-wing talent coming out to BR or boost in order to line up a K-turn/sloop through an enemy ship.

I would like it if they made it so you could taken an out of faction ship (wouldnt mind if it's an epic thing not extended or hyperspace) here are some options:

Scum han tie brute

Rebel han lambda

Resistance han/finn/rose xi shuttle

Malarus t-70

Poe tie sf

Obi wan belbullab

Darth vader v wing

Rey t 65

Rebel Obi wan crew (its time)

Chewie republic crew

Nora Wexley tie fighter

I cant think of a separatist one.

I really don't know if Qui-Gon ever flew anything canonically or not, but IIRC, Aethersprites were around before the war, so Qui-Gon in one would be rad.

This is his Aethersprite.

Just curious where was this shown and do you know what it does?

No, I don’t know what it does. The fact it exists was disclosed in the GenCon online x-wing stream where the devs gave us some card images but this was not one of them. Just a verbal acknowledgment it was coming

Qui-Gon.

Aurra Sing.

TYCHO!!!

Carnor.

Obligatory Rey T-65 and Poe YT-1300.

Shuttle Tyderium.

Kit Fisto pilot.

General Pryde.

Odd Ball Delta 😜

Thweek!

Did he fly one? I know his nephew Captain Typho did.

I think he should have his old, ability, but when his mimicked/shadowed ship is destroyed he loses their ability/initiative.

i6 for good measure. If you have 2 or fewer stress token, you may perform actions on your action bar even while stressed.

I don't need Mk II, but if you gave me a flippable configuration for the wings (that I hope are movable in the 2nd edition release). Maybe -1 die and your 3-4 speed maneuvers are decreased in difficulty?

The talked about in the GenCon Stream. I think it is in the Eta-2 pack. It allows Deltas and Etas to have Torrent wings (maybe V-Wings?) if I remember correctly. If you look at the Eta-2 spread, I think it is the upgrade farthest to the right.

Empire:

  • TIE Fighter: Moff Gideon (maybe with a configuration card for his special TIE/ln?)
  • TIE Interceptor: Ciena Ree; Vult Skerris (though I'm pretty sure he will come in the Imperial squadron pack). EDIT: and Second Sister!
  • TIE Defender: Vult Skerris (as above, should come with the Imperial squadron pack. Also, "Elite TIE Defender" configuration card - and resculped mini - would be cool)
  • EDIT: TIE Reaper: Ninth Sister

Scum:

  • Slave One: Jango Fett
  • Quadjumper: Maz Kanata
  • HWK-290: Kanan Jarrus (preferably in the Scum squadron pack, for the repainted black mini)
  • EDIT: Fang Fighter: Gar Saxon

Rebels:

  • YT-2400: Jun Sato (with Hammer title)
  • A-wing: Shara Bey. EDIT: Ezra (and two-seat config card giving crew)
  • Naboo Starfighter (for Rebels, I know, not going to happen...): Leia, Shara Bey and Queen Sosha Soruna. With Rebel dial.
  • Y-wing: lots of missing pilots from the OT
  • X-wing: lots of missing pilots (including the Blue Squadron from Rogue One)
  • EDIT: B-wing: Hera (and Blade Wing Prototype config card)

Don't know if he ever flew one in Canon, but I think most Naboo officers probably know how to fly it, but put Typho on the list of zippy pilots, forgot about him ;).

My idea for Antoc Merrick: While attacking, if you are inside the defender's firing arc, you may change one of your results to a hit result.

I really like @Dwing's idea here for the interceptors. One of the first cards I made was a broken second sister in the Interceptor:

- Royal Guard Pilot (generic pilot)

- Royal guard Title. Title that allows for the use of a new tie Interceptor dial with purple maneuvers. Dial would come in the pack together with the base inserts. ( I think FFG will do a royal guard tie at some point, this would be nice to get the content in a card upgrade pack, I already own 3 red ties, I don't want to buy another)

Second Sister: While you use your autothruster ship ability, you may spend one force. If you do you may preform an action you have already done this round. (double boost and double barrel-roll? With a 2 force pilot? BROKEN!!!)

Yes please! I was always disappointed when the quick-builds that let you have a mixed Wing didn't come with corresponding cards sometimes (Like the Belbullab + Vultures wings)

Kanan flew a HWK? More importantly, Disney decided that ship exists?
