I like that Etahn's ability works for ANY attackers, as long as the defender is within Etahn's firing arc!

Dammit...this'll teach me to spend half the day writing a long ATTACK WING article...it will, it will!

Look at that Tie Phantom!!!

I need me about six of 'em...

Good Job FFG!

You Rascals You!

Think of a 5 ship Z-95 swarm with assault missiles. That would make an incredible alpha strike into a Tie swarm.

you could pull in 6 z-95 with missiles!!!

ouch!!!

@SpectreSix,

Not in my fleet. Y-Wings can hit more than once.

Ahhh I was thinking since Y-wings were slower they are more easily taken out than the more agile A-wing.

Depends on what is trying to kill them. They are very tough birds. The turret also lets them move a lot less predictably, at least in my limited experience, since they don't need to watch their arc.

Whew!

^{i would love to see a pilot or pilot card that would allow you to fire a missile or torpedoe at range 1-2 without a target lock}

^{that would be cool}

I still can't believe the TIE Defender does not have evade.

The Defender might have a Pilot with a skill that gives an Evade token. Can't wait for all to be revealed!

I still can't believe the TIE Defender does not have evade.

do not lose faith it come with evade token, got to be something we cant see

Maybe the Outmaneuver card allows a boost action on the E Wing?

This would also fit with the Defender as it has no boost action but why no boost card here?

R7-T1 comes with the E-wing and allows a ship to boost. That's why the boost description is included

I'm excited about these new ships, z-95's for my pirate squadron for sure. Sadly...I don't get to play very often.

Actually that makes sense, a free evade as you make certain movements. That would be a move we have never seen before.

I still can't believe the TIE Defender does not have evade.

I have complete faith that the TIE Defender would be so awesome it doesn't need evade.

Really, really welcome to see Imperial Heavy fighters. Now the Empire can trade blows with the rebellion on their own turf. And now Imperial newbies won't be mandated to buy tons of TIE Fighters to become viable threats in tournament settings.

wave 5 just announced !!!!!!!!

ewok glider with new missile = ROCK !!!!!!

You've got to respect the fact that FFG was basically like "oh, by the way -enjoy your weekend." *mic drop*

imperial aces - on the boat

rebel transport/tantive IV

+ now 4 new wave 4 fighters

my wallet is hurting... soon it will need life-support... time to start specializing on one faction methinks.

Too bad none of their star wars product are about the new trilogy... there's plenty of amazing ship... The EU ships are a bit lame for ordinary star wars movie fans

Speak for yourself will, the TIE Defender is every Imperial ace's dream. And the Empire needs heavy fighters and some shinanigans to put the Rebels down without relying on bounty hunters.

*puts on a TIE Defender costume and starts marching around repeating 'haters gonna hate' *

Now if only I could get an imp gunner who was properly human...

Well I think this wave is kind of evening up the factions. Rebels now have a cheap as chips ship...Imperials have a powerhouse in the defender and something completely different in the Phantom.

Did expect the E-Wing, headhunter and defender at some point but was mostly surprised about the phantom!

About time they brought a new small ship wave out!

Already thinking about what ships will show up next before spending the money on this wave.

*puts on a TIE Defender costume and starts marching around repeating 'haters gonna hate' *

now im going to need to paint a defender that has "no haters" on one wing

I am extremely surprised how close this wave has come to matching some of the more prevalent forum speculation, even some of my own predictions from early 2013.

12 point headhunters blows my mind though, I was almost sure they wouldn't do it
