Once again, I am reminded of the parallel with Star Fleet Battles, and what happened to the Fed CA.

This is how you communicate with a fellow intelligence: you hurt it, you keep on hurting it, until you can distinguish the posts from the screams.

What happened to it? I used to read the Captain's Logs in my friend's house but hardly ever got to play. Just general power creep?

Since it was the original hero ship, it was the first ship designed, and yeah, everything else in the game wound up growing past it.

Broken Egg Games is going to be releasing a set of metal cast tokens for X-Wing. I saw them in person a few weeks ago and they look awesome.

You are never going to see custom dice make much money since people can't use them in a tourney unless FFG put them out. I really like that.

Could be Ep8 ships. Although I'd expect an announcement rather than an actual physical product.

Rumor mill is a new 2p starter for Destiny. We're not going to get a new xwing starter every two years.

But at the same time we have got new ships to coincide with both the last two movies which also came out in December right.

So like as not there is something planned for Ep 8 right

Maybe not a new starter but maybe a campaign pack that has ships in it? I've heard the HotAC guy has been busy with projects.

Probably just a mixed bucket of Prequel Era. Throw a few Actis and Aethersprites in there, lucky winners get a Diplomacy Barge.

On another note, pretty sure the Advanced SLAM nerf is happening.




I suspect it reads
After performing a SLAM action, if you did not overlap an obstacle or another ship, you may perform a free action shown in your action bar.

After playing a dozen or so games with friends, I went to my first store game this weekend. Got my rear end kicked by a decimator/interceptor list. I flew dengar and scurge, just making the list on the spot. I definitely need to work on keeping ships in my front arc for ordinance and not flying into asteroids.

Had a great time and picked up the kihraz fighter while I was there. I'm hooked.

Welcome. This game is fun and cool.

In weird news, a guy in Sweden won a store champs last week with 5x Alpha Squadron TIE Interceptors with Autothrusters.

No rerolls, no shields, no fear.

Trip report: the 4 TIE Bombers w/Unguided Rockets, Seismic Charges, and Lightweight Frame along with the Academy pilot worked beautifully. Flew against a Lothal Rebel with a TLT, Reinforced Deflectors and Rey, alongside two Y-wings; one Stresshog and one with a TLT and M9-G8.

Knew the Stresshog would prevent me from taking Focus actions and thus preventing my rockets, I blew him up first. Then the Ghost, and finally the M9-G8 Y-wing. Lost 2 bombers and the Academy pilot before the win though.

Sure it has 2 HP. Sure that means it dies instantly to bombs. But holy poo poo that high PS guy with the Overboost card will be untouchable otherwise.

My FLGS has put a message out that they'll be receiving 18 of the mystery item that will be released on Force Friday. They said with tax, it's $40.

This is definitely in the realm of starter kit price or either another Ace pack that wasn't announced or a new large-based ship.

It's going to be something for Destiny, like a 2 player starter pack. Nothing X-Wing related. Calling it.
