First hint at Black Sun

By fab74, in X-Wing

Hello,

Do you notice that Black Sun is mentionned on the Z-95 Bandit Squadron Pilot card ?

It is the first time a potential third faction is mentionned in the game.

A clue about wave 5 Black Sun oriented ... ?

If you included the YT-1300, Slave 1 and Z-95 we have already three ships for a third faction.

Don't forget the HWK

"Do you notice that Black Sun is mentioned on the Z-95 Bandit Squadron Pilot card ?"

I did notice this as well. Although purely conjecture, two other small base ships (R-4 Starchaser or any number of others, but "new ships") and a "Cinematic Pack" with a host of new pilots for existing ships would be great. <cough> wave 5 </cough> While the existing tournament format may remain just two-faction, the possibilities for Cinematic and Epic play would be greatly enhanced with neutral pilots.

FWIW, it's not - strictly speaking - the FIRST reference to Black Sun (although perhaps the first spelled out as such).

The fighter shooting at Roark Garnet on his HWK-290 card is another. It's a Kihraxz-class fighter (from the Star Wars: Galaxies PC game), built and generally used by Black Sun.

I didn't know it was possible to equip Deadeye in real life, dude. Well spotted!

(Also, you totally should have gone with Veteran's Instincts, Determination, or Adrenaline Rush instead).

I was about to mention the Kihraxz, but someone beat me too it... well done man.. point to you.

this would be sweet
