Cobbsprite posted:God, no. Dump the ion cannon and AC, dump the failsafe on Maarek Stele, give Jendon Predator and either Fleet Officer or Weapons Engineer. Fleet Officer will let you shoot prockets and keep a focus with your target lock for massive damage, Weapons Engineer will give you a bonus target lock to pass to Scoots. Yeah, I probably will dump the ion cannon and AC. Jendon doesn't have an EPT slot though for Predator. I'm thinking maybe rebel captive to stress anyone firing on the shuttle because Stele and Fel have dodged their arc. Plenty of time to tinker with this list as I practice with it waiting for the Raider to be released.

I need to practice with the TIE/ad and TIE/d before the Raider is released too. Or just Vader + many TIEs.

I guess we'll be seeing the T-70 X-Wing as a new model in an upcoming wave. There's no way it'll be a title card when they could make more plastic. I wonder how long FFG has had the specs and if they've already designed a mini. I hope this doesn't stop them from fixing the classic T-65.

Don't put Munitions Failsafe on things with Prockets; By definition, the more dice you're rolling, the lower the value of Munitions Failsafe.

Put munitions failsafe on everything. Anything can be avoided. If you shoot and miss and don't have it, you wasted 3-6x the points cost of having it.

Hound's Tooth is nice because you can pair it with Slave I and the IG-2000 and do scum bounty hunters. As for the Punisher I confess to enjoying the heavy TIE designs in a "military ugly" sense. The K-Wing is the big loser here as far as I'm concerned.

Maybe since they're including both the Punisher and K-Wing in this wave it means they're doing something new with regards to ordnance.

Eh, I was just never a fan of the Avenger or the Interceptor in the TIE Fighter games, which is why I don't much like it. I prefered the tight shot grouping of TIE Fighters. I feel like the Avenger was just a lazy design, too - basically an Advanced and an Interceptor smashed together. edit: also, shields are for cowards and rebels.

I would have said that the Avenger is too close to the TIE Advanced for it to make sense, but now we've got the Punisher, that argument flew out the window. I'd prefer to see the TIE Hunter, since it looks super cool and pointy, but I have no idea where you'd fit it in between the regular TIE and the Interceptor.

Well that's cool and hopefully they can do something interesting with it. They have plenty of both already in the game, they just need something to make them slightly more worth utilizing, and if they can pull it off I'd love to mess around with some ordnance focused builds. Rampant speculation but they could even be working on some new sort of special action to give the K-Wing and Punisher with regards to launched weapons that they could then package into a mod for other ships to use. Or not, who knows. Now let's go Z'ceptor for Wave 8:

Holy poo poo the K-Wing. FFG truly knows no bounds when it comes to the EU. I can't make out what the stat line is for it but am I reading this right? The K-wang can target lock, focus and ...something else? TIE Punisher is a bomber that can boost?

On the other hand somewhere out there some Star Wars nerd is beside himself with joy that they're making a K-Wing unit that's perfectly faithful to the original depiction. You know it's true. X-Wang is about fan service among other things. Let that dude have his moment. edit; Some better pictures of the new ships here. Kai Tave fucked around with this message at 02:05 on Apr 18, 2015 |

Honestly, I think the TIE Predator isn't that ugly at all. I mean it's not very original...okay, so it's an upgunned version of the Bomber so instead of one extra cylinder we'll give it four...but I still think it looks pretty good for what it is, it reminds me of old-style space rocket booster assemblies, big chunky collections of cylinders designed to explosively lob poo poo into orbit. It's Imperial as hell is what I'm saying. The K-Wing is a bit of a reach, I admit. What other Rebel ships are there at this point though? They've done pretty much everything that's prominently recognizable by this point, they've already tapped out Shadows of the Empire and the E-Wing, and so far it seems that they aren't going to be drawing on the prequels anytime soon. So, I mean, what's left? They could always go and do another set of Aces packs like people were spitballing, and frankly I think that'd be a good idea...Rebel Aces 2 with more Rogue Squadron stuff and some X-Wing/Y-Wing love, maybe Imperial Aces with a TIE Avenger model/title for the Advanced and, I dunno, a Bomber or something. But as far as new Rebel fighter-scale ships go I'm drawing a blank.

So that gives each faction 2 large ships. Except technically scum can take the firespray too and run 3. Be cool if you can do a triple BH list.

Well technically Imperials have three as well, the Firespray, the Shuttle, and the Decimator. But yeah, all Scum bounty hunters was my first thought, run Boba Fett, IG-88, and Bossk together, though a completely vanilla Boba Fett and any IG-88 without any upgrades to speak of is like 75 points on its own, so it'd probably only be feasible in a 150 point game or something.

I know the game is balanced for 100 points but I'd like to start playing more 150 point games, especially as the library of available ships and upgrades keeps growing.
