Kettch should be a tie-fighter pilot, yeah. (I kinda hate that I know this) (alternatively there's already a Wedge Antilles card)

I'd hope they make Headhunters at some point. It sounds like this game is successful so I imagine we'll eventually see a ton of stuff.

Winson_Paine posted:Yeah, I remember it being kind of unsatisfactory. Basically these guys would tool around in character mode until the fight at the end of the game came up, and there would be starfighter duels in X-Wing. I will give the rules a good hard eyeball and see if I can come up with anything. If you just want to do starship duels between PCs/NPCs in the board game, it's made a lot easier by the fact that the only difference between pilots is their pilot skill and a special ability. All you'd really need to do is convert their piloting stat from dice + pips to a 1-10 scale and come up with a special ability that fits their character if they're not a grunt NPC. For regular dudes there are already cards for like academy tie pilots or rookies in X-Wings so that would be a pretty one-to-one thing, you just have to watch out not to put your PCs in a couple of fighters against like a swarm of TIEs, the game isn't balanced for that at all.

I think the new assault missiles that are coming out that do damage to every ship within 1 range might be a good counter for Howlrunner, but that doesn't mitigate cold dice.

I use a Plano 5231 like everyone on boardgamegeek does, it's worked perfectly so far. Fits 2 core sets + 2 of every expansion with lots of room to grow, and they're 12 bucks. http://www.boardgamegeek.com/image/1507040/reitoei?size=large http://www.amazon.com/Plano-Molding-5231-Double-Organizer/dp/B000HJ9514/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357442948&sr=8-1&keywords=plano+5231

Echoing everyone else when I say that you need to remind the rebel player that another ship (with its guns and sets of shields) is almost always better than some upgrades.

Winson_Paine posted:Has anyone played much in the way of Imperial vs. Imperial or Rebel on Rebel scraps? How do those tend to work out? Imperial v Imperial at high point levels draaaaaaags if both teams are doing the kinda standard 6-7 tie build list. There are so many ships to move and not enough space to move them in.

zVxTeflon posted:Im curious to see how people are gonna use the HWK. The stats really leave something to be desired. The abilities make it look like it's mostly useful as a support ship in a really big game. At 100 points I need something that's good enough to blow up TIEs on its own rather than a ship that buffs others, especially as an active ability.

I would get another core and 2 each of the other small ships but I'm a lunatic and your list is great if you aren't all about running "tournament lists". Actually I would recommend another core when you can swing it because running 3 x-wings at once is rad.

The ID tokens have helped when we've played games with like 6 people playing, but that's such a corner case. I'm glad they included stuff to make it easy, though.

I hope so. I got preorders in this time so I wouldn't have to wait for restocks. I JUST got my Wave 2 ships because I didn't want to pay MSRP for them.

I ended up getting shorted an HWK in my wave 3 order, but out of the wave that's the ship I least mind missing out on. If not for my completionist mindset, I probably wouldn't have bought one at all.

All I can really figure out about the shuttles right now is that they effectively cost 4 points more than the listed cost because they'll never turn around or stay close enough for Yorr/Jendon to use their abilities without an engine upgrade.

Kilazar posted:Thanks for the link. I did a lot of googling and it seems like FFG intended for you to be able to use evade tokens to cancel autoblaster hits but the wording is real ambiguous. Fox of Stone posted:So I found out a store only 30min from me does regionals and weekly tournaments ($3/5 buy-in and winner/2nd gets toys). They also host something called "OP events" that supposedly have prizes. What are those and what sorts of prizes are included? Promos? I really want a Jek Porkins and Lt. Kettch card someday. They're alternate art cards and sometimes acrylic tokens. FFG is pretty good about not including actual gameplay relevant things as prizes which keeps things more casual.

Advanced sensors only come in lambda shuttles and are great for b-wings. Other than that... stealth devices?

Achmed Jones posted:This isn't how evade works. Critical hits are canceled like normal hits: one evade icon cancels them. It's just that you have to cancel regular hits before you can cancel critical hits. He was specifically asking about autoblaster, where the hits can't be cancelled by defense dice, and you have to cancel crits first.

The design seems to intend that evade results from defense dice and evade tokens are not the same thing (otherwise the cards would just say "hits cannot be cancelled"), but yeah they really need to FAQ it because arguments both ways make sense.

I dunno, I'm of the opinion that the extra set of guns and health another ship brings is generally better than upgrades, especially at that low point level. I mean, sure, Luke + R2-D2 is reasonably hard to kill, but not that hard when there are three TIEs shooting at just him.

krushgroove posted:This is the main thing that's jarring about X-Wing - it's impossible for me to get past seeing Rebel vs. Rebel fights and Empire vs. Empire fights. I know the setting is just the two sides (forgive me if there are more, I don't read the novels and such) and you can't get away from that, but it's just...weird to see. They're training exercises! I'd like them to add a pirate/smuggler faction or at least make them solid subthemes of the rebel/empire factions, but with the speed of releases I'd think we have wave 4 to go at least before that. It would be cool if they just added a new faction via new pilot cards that let you fly, say, stolen TIEs with a YT-1300 and HWK or something, although that'd probably need a lot of new point costing and balancing.

I think for missiles to be great you have to have a way to have both focus and target lock at the same time or they're too luck dependent.
