I WANT MY DAYUM ACES BEFORE THE LOCAL TOURNEMENT STARTS !!!!!!!

*flips back and forth in his room with force jumps and cuts the walls into pieces*

while blabbering crazy stuff* BLALRBALBARGDASBLAAAARGS !!!!

Just checked... Amazon's release date is March 7th... you can stop holding your breath for another week or 2.

Hmm. Last I'd checked it said February 28th. Disheartening.

I WANTED THEM BEFORE LOCAL TOURNAMENT ON THE 1ST.

AAAHHHH!!!!

cant get a break,

MAY JARJAR haunt your dreams!!!!!!

well if there is a bright center of the universe, these aces are on the planet that is furthest from......

Another note...When the ships come in to port they always have to file in a que to customs. The ships containing perishable items (such as fruit) always jump to the front of the que. So delays in our aces shipment can also be attributed to the amount of perishable items (which is increased during the winter time due to the lack of fruits/veggies being produced state side).

Uhm.. i work in logistics and regularly organize shipments from Europe/Germany to North and South America and you are plain wrong, sorry to say.

Customs declarations are done way before a ship enters harbor and are transferred via internet to the country's customs system so when the ship starts unloading they already have all the documents needed and they're processed. The only thing that's regularly done is x-raying the container.

Containers rarely stay more than a week in the customs zone of the harbor.. harbors charge a ton of money for storing containers and no one wants to pay more than they have to, surely not in the month range (unless there is a problem with the cargo).

So in the age of internet and electronic systems everything runs much faster than even 2 decades ago.

As to the holdup.. only FFG knows the real reason but it takes at least 2-3 weeks from China to US West Coast, 4-6 weeks from China to Europe.

Now factor in the rough distribution.. you don't want to release a product in one region and then weeks later be finished with the whole country, customers would turn up with pitchforks so you have to distribute the stuff across the country prior to release day which is the second most time consuming part of the entire transport chain.

well curse their metal bodies, is isn't fast enough!!!!!!!!!

Not to mention retailers that would lose out on sales to other retailers in the regions where the product was distributed first.

That boat has not moved one bit it is still in the lower right corner of the upcoming page!

Im begining to think its not a boat but a slow ass sea turtle.

Either that or Jar Jar is ships captain

Either that or Eating A'Boat found the boat and, well, the rest is pretty straightforward.

The Aces are truly on the slow boat to no where.

just sayin guys if i dont get my aces before the 15th march for the touarnement

then iam gonna decline my order of 3 boxes jsut sayin...

iam sick of waiting for them. and then i can wait ***** 6 month to get new tie Bomber and 3 regular tie interceptors >.>

this game lacks of diversity -.- 2 factions are 2 to less >.>

The HORROR!

The Emperor needs to send out a submarine to go check if any Ace-packs were among the lost...

First of all, having them by this Friday is the soonest anyone should expect to see them based on the date they were put on the boat.

Jan 20th was the day they were said to be on the boat. It's between 4-6 weeks to get to FFG from that point and another week to 10 days from then to get them to the stores.

So that means the soonest you could expect to see them would be around the 3rd of March. But it could be 12th or so and still be on time for shipment.

Oh and BTW... If this is a FFG sanctioned Tournament... Imperial Aces aren't legal ships anyway.

There's absolutely no room for 4 factions in this game. The most you could reasonably see would be 3, Imperials, Rebels and Pirates/Bounty Hunters. Any other faction would be digging far to deep into the EU to sell effectively.

There's no reason at all to even include a 3rd faction really. It might be nice but it's not needed.

its getting boring after a time trust me make those other faction ships be mercenaries or something

just sayin and going into Eu is good if this game wants to live for any longer so we will see Eu ships no matter how much u will hate it.

I'm not getting bored and neither are most of the other people here. Wave 4 will add a ton of new options to the meta, between that and the 2 Huge ships coming out, there will be so much stuff to do that a 3rd faction is not even close to being needed at this point.

Yeah... I'm a EU hater... Might want to try reading some of my other posts around here. I'm a fan of the EU. But trying to add things like the Vong won't go well. So a 3rd faction of Indy's could work, but again aren't needed. There is no good option for a 4th faction though.

ok, i agree and disagree with this,

i agree that there is no substantial 4th army to include in this game that will bring about a large enough fleet to compete with the diversity of imperials and rebels.

lets face it, if they are going to make a faction it has to have more than a handful of ships in its arsenal.

i disagree with the notion that this game does not need a 3rd faction.

FFG has an entire RPG based on the fringe element of the star wars universe. pirates, smugglers, mercenaries, bounty hunters, and so on. a 3rd faction that has the option of being used as a stand alone force or you can use its ships in either of the existing forces.

While I would LOVE a pirate/mercenary faction, I don't see it as being that necessary. Most of the ships it could have fit into rebel fleets for now. Again, not against it, but I can see why it wouldn't be necessary. Especially once the Z-95s come out we're going to be able to run full pirate fleets.

On another note, and I'm not trying to be rude, but maybe focus a bit more on punctuation, capitalization, etc. It's more than a bit distracting, and it's taken me a bit to figure out what you're trying to say on a few occasions. I'm not saying you need to have everything you right go through proofreading or anything, just that a little more focus on capitalization and punctuation would be appreciated, and also probably improve your forum experience in general.

i PoSt on seVERal forUMS and i Have NevER had any1 compLain' abouT' my gRamour and speLin.

bUt thaNKs fur yore IMPut....

another day on boat.

Especially once the Z-95s come out we're going to be able to run full pirate fleets.

Once the Z-95 comes out, I'm not sure what pirate/merc ship we'd be missing.

They for the most part flew Z's, Y's, YT's, maybe a few TF's... Perhaps if they were really good they managed some X-Wings. But the thing that's really missing is pirate/merc cards.

FFG doesn't seem to have the production resources to release a 3rd faction without putting everything else on hold. Just look how long it took to get Imperial Aces out the door. So they clearly can't just slip in a 3rd faction without impacting the release of other stuff.

Then as much as a Indy faction might fit a RPG, that's not the same thing as it fitting in a dog fighting game. There's room for it, but I fail to see what one would actually add to the game.

Yeah, where's the GPS locator for the cargo container? I need even more timely updates...

Oh, I can think of quite a few ships people would like to see: cloakshape, T-Wing, Star Chaser, YT-2400, YT-2000, Skipray Blastboat, the Slave II Enforcement ship, Preybird, etc. And many of those ships have already had lots of mods made for them.

I think the issue would not be so much lack of ships, but the fact that it's too big a risk. It's one thing to mix in some EU stuff with the Rebel or Imperial lists, who have lots of ships from the movies. I think a faction made TOTALLY out of EU stuff would be a hard sell.

Don't get me wrong, I would be ALL OVER that. I think lots of players would. But I don't know if ENOUGH players would, and I just think it's a bigger risk than FF would be willing to take.

And how to you make a new faction competitive out of the gate without releasing 6 or more ships at one? Which makes for an even BIGGER risk.

Though I could see it working the way the Mercenary faction worked in the previous Star Wars card game. In that one mercenary cards could be used by either side. And if you wanted to make a mercenary list, you could. That would take away some of the risk.

Of course, I would have liked to see something like that with the Lambda and YT1300. But I can see why they didn't, it would be a real pain to balance, and remove some of the unique flavor from the factions.

In the end, I just don't know if I see it happening. On the other hand, fans are clamoring for it, and FF has been responsive to their requests before (I know I was surprised they actually did the Defender and Z-95).

I'm not saying you need to have everything you right go through proofreading or anything...

Maybe some proof reading wouldn't be so bad after all.
