i will award 10,000 geek points to anyone who can come up with the name of the a-wing pilot who crashed into the Super Star Destroyer in ROTJ.

i do not know myself, but now i will be trying to find it.

Looks like the ones whining about new pilot cards and extra upgrades will be given something to satisfy their hunger.....I am somewhat disappointed that the interceptors are the same , no added fins just the paint job .....I was looking forward to seeing new and unique ships....Cest la vie...Nonetheless I will probably pick up 1 ....sometime next yr lol.......Never give up , Never surrender

i know he is green leader, but that doesnt count. i want his name

Arvel Crynyd. He's already in the game as a Unique Pilot for the A-Wing expansion.

It's gotta be rogue squadron next; two x-wings, one in corsec colors.

Not that I, on a forum calling myself Rogue Nine, am biased in any way...

4x Alpha squadron with both Stealth AND Shield? Pretty annoying but really needs a 5th ship to be competitive. I can see it giving fits against many small-ship Rebel builds, though. I think it would beat most 25-point X-Wings, for sure.

The big ***** in the armor of an Interceptor will continue to be Han Solo – which will remain just a hyper-aggravating, overpowered build.

I'm loving the possibilities with Carnor getting in close and ruining Garven and Kyle Katarn's day, though.

If they do end up doing a Rogue Squadron set, I would love to see a pilot upgrade card for the Darklighter Spin. A move that Biggs improvised by spinning his X-wing starfighter while firing all four of its laser cannons, where by he was able to eliminate multiple incoming targets at once, a tactic that fellow Rogue Squadron members have utilized on several occasions.

This sets just looks so good, from the different paint schemes to the upgraded cards they give. I can't wait for it to release...

I myself am looking at picking up a couple of these sets to add to my growing imperial fleet...

Stealth and hull upgrade saves you a point and is probably just as good as a single shield point.

Here's an expensive but terrifying proposition: Soontir Fel, Royal Guard Tie title, PTL, Opportunist. Probably too expensive considering you'd never be able to use both abilities in the same turn (unless you also had Captain Yorr in your airspace...)

Realized the error in my own thinking: Royal Guard gives you two MODIFICATIONS, not two pilot skills. Oops.

But not quite, and there's actually nothing to spend those 4 points that you'd save on anyway (assuming a 100-point list), so...

And higher point total games are planned. IE cinematic play.

Are you trying to make PS 1 interceptors Royal Guards? You have to have PS 5 or higher to use that title. None of the generics in the interceptor expansion can use it.

This is great news, definately going to pick up a box, possibly two. I have 7 interceptors, definately going to be painting 1 or 2 with red stripes myself, just to get ready

Plus with the generic title card, this totally paves the way for 'Fighter-Bomber: Y-Wing only, Title. Your ship gains the [bomb] upgrade'. Probably 0 or maybe 1 point. This has always been a pet-peeve of mine that the Y-wing can't equip Bombs, even though I'm an Imperial player.

really?

his ship is green, that would have been perfect for an expansion like this for rebels

here is your 10,000 geek points

Ya know, I really hope they don't do this with the large ships. Already got 2 YT-1300 and 3 Firespray-31.

not doing it with large ships is leaving money on the table. Smart companies don't do that.

I cannot wait to get 2 of this pack. Maybe get a total of 4 of the Royal Squints (Interceptors) guarding the Lambda shuttle as a scenario Emperor Palatine in on board. The Imperials could have the reinforcement as when a fighter is shot down a certain pilot skill level Interceptor comes out on the next phase. The Rebels have a certain amount of points more than the Imperials and of course objective destroy the shuttle to win. Imperials win by destroying all the Rebels or the Lambda leaves the board.

P.S. I am surprised this this topic got really active! Really appreciate it, thanks guys. Thought someone else was going to post this before me. As I sit here opening my rest of my wave 3 package. Lambda, 2 Hwk-290's and 2 TIE Bomber's.

Oh God. There goes my wallet. FFG has a license to print money...

And they are button mashing it like a fighting game.

Wonder how well this would work for a 100 point Royal Guard flight group:

Carnor Jax w/ Hull Upgrade

Kir Kanos w/ Hull Upgrade

2x Royal Guard Pilot

Well... now I'll have interceptors to sell.... Open of course haha

i wish i had that option, i've currently been running a list of full alpha squadrons and kicking butt doing so.. so i don't think i can afford to sell any off seeing as they don't come in this expansion.. and i'll need to be buying 2 packs of this set.. bringing me 4 more interceptors i don't need

but the cards will be worth it... &^%*&$*^*&^%)*(^&

the upgrade cards alone are worth the cost

Kicking butt with Alpha Sq. Pilots? What else do you have on that list? I was thinking 5 avengers was the way to go, unless you're kitting them out with Stealth Devices and such.

which is exactly what i'm doing.. 3 of the alphas have stealth devices on them for a 99 pt total

Ya know, I really hope they don't do this with the large ships. Already got 2 YT-1300 and 3 Firespray-31.

I would like to see small variations on the existing ships... The YT-1300 was one of the most widely used Light Freighters in the EU. I'd love to see some of the Uniquely modified ones from the EU make it into the game with slightly different stats + new pilot upgrade cards, etc.

Serves me right for not reading the fine print. (Although I find it annoying that FFG didn't print that part of the qualifications up at the top, in italics, y'know – with the rest of the qualifications. That's just bad design.)

OMFG!!! Tie Interceptors can get even better?!!! Royal Guard FTW!!!

Now that I got that out I cant help but giggle in delight. Can this game get any better? Now I have to buy two of this set or it wouldn't feel right. I can't wait to see the Rebel Aces when id undoubtedly comes out. OMFG!!! Oops got excited again.
