Well it's a newer model of shop. Which of course means it's less chunky, more sleek. It's so futuristic, CEC wanted to chrome plate it, but was afraid the Nubian shipyards would sue.

signalnoise posted:Seriously though, looking at the Millennium Falcon with how big it is has me reconsidering not buying the transport and the Tantive The transport is manageably big. Like, it's impressive in its table presence and solidarity. The Tantive is just ridiculously huge. It's stupidly cool and I don't regret buying it, but I'll never be able to use it on my kitchen table games. Maybe I'll drag it to the FLGS game night sometime though.

Ville Valo posted:Started playing the Tantive IV campaign tonight. If I understood the rules for using it correctly, it can never shoot directly behind itself, even with the turret primary, because that'd cross the blue line on the base? How was it firing at the Star Destroyer in the opening scene of A New Hope, then?! The Tantive capture was an inside job!

I'm confused about the level of attention given to the beer. I mean, when I play X-Wing, no food or beverage is allowed at the table at all, but are people seriously getting hung up that an X-Wing player may have imbibed an alcoholic beverage during a match?

I've never been to a game store that regularly charged under MSRP. That's been kinda the hallmark of brick and mortar locations, you're stuck paying MSRP instead of getting deep discounts, but you're supporting a small business, supporting a play space, and don't have to wait for shipping.

As someone who's volunteered at a food bank, my suggestion is to just grab a variety of stuff. Don't buy a case of corn (as convenient as that is, just picking up a still-wrapped case from a grocery store), bring like 3 cans of corn, 3 green beans, 3 peas, etc.

Wow, the Raider is a completely original ship. FFG has just managed to add to the (presumably Legends) EU, and that's pretty cool.

Carteret posted:They worked with Lucasfilm Ltd., and it's coming out post Canon purge. Does that make it not Legends? I think its "safer" to assume anything from FFG is Legends until specified otherwise. There hasn't been any official announcement on whether or not FFG's stuff is Legends or Story Group/Disney Canon, but so much of their source material is Legends only. All the pilot names that aren't film characters, all of Wave 4 and a bunch of Wave 5 are Legends ships, etc. I think it'd be amazing if the Raider was Story Group Canon and popped up in a novel or comic somewhere, but I'm not holding my breath.

Chill la Chill posted:It's not in a movie. It's not a big deal if it's Legends. 99% of the EU is bad and not canon so I don't understand why people got upset when the already unofficial EU was rebranded. It wasn't demoted in canon lore or anything. Well it kinda was demoted. It literally is no longer canon anymore. The only things that are canon now are the 6 films, the Clone Wars, Rebels, and two novels that have come out so far.

Strobe posted:Well, strictly speaking, it's not "no longer canon" it's "when contradicted the old EU is wrong". That's not how the agreement worked at all. Everything got jettisoned other than the handful of sources I listed. None of he old EU (now called Legends) is canon at all, even if it never gets contradicted. One can make the argument "if it doesn't get contradicted, it can still count", and that's all well and good, but it isn't how things actually went down.

Chill la Chill posted:EU was never canon. It was just a way for Lucas to get licensing fees. The movies were only ever the only canon and the line between Infinities and EU was thin if not nonexistent. I guess you could say that they were all demoted to Infinities. Practically speaking when you spoke to someone about it there was some implicit understanding that you were already talking about what-if scenarios. At least in my experience. Nobody ever treated it as gospel. I suppose it's like the apocrypha and how Catholics vs Protestants treat it. The old EU totally had an entire hierarchy of canon. Sure the films trumped everything, but there was a whole canon arrangement.

Man...i am SO HAPPY I'm starting a new job in January that will have me on a real-person work schedule. Lately I've been working evening shifts, which means I can never go play X-Wing at the FLGS. My ships haven't seen the table in weeks, I still only have 1 each of Wave 4, haven't bought either of Wave 5...had to dust off my Plano case when i moved it today...but when the new job starts, I'll actually be able to go play X-Wing after work! Build and fly some new lists! Maybe put the Tantive on the table!

I have zero regrets about the amount of cash I've sunk into X-Wing stuff. Even if I don't get to play as often as I like, I'm getting really nifty little Star Wars ship models and I can always set them up on a shelf or something to look cool.

General Battuta posted:That reminds me, I love the E-wing on paper but it's a shame the actual model can't hold up to the iconic trilogy ships. I was pretty active in the FreeSpace Open community and they had a great-looking Star Wars mod in the works. One of their modelers touched up the E-wing just a bit, elongating the nose and cranking the wings to give it a more aggressive profile. I kinda wish FFG had done something similar: I'm pretty sure that one of FFG's RPG supplements mentions that the cannon has to be removed for the pilot to enter or exit the craft.

My cards for x-wing are all sleeved and the kept in 9-pocket pages in a binder. The upgrade cards fit nicely two-to-a-slot, but it can be a bitch to get the bottom one out, so I never double up two different cards, only duplicates.

AndyElusive posted:Speaking of Jek Porkins, it annoys me greatly that in order to get his pilot card I need to shell out for a big ugly transport that I'll probably never end up using and hardly have storage space for. If you want, I'd be willing to work out some kind of split-up deal with you. I have an insane need to get 3 Transports in order to run that one mission from the manual, but have no real need for a 5th X-Wing.

I didn't overhear anyone talking about KC/K or KC/MO. Speaking of KC X-Wing stuff, there's a pretty healthy community at Pulp Fiction in Lee's Summit. Until recently I worked evenings/nights so I never got to go play, but there's at least 6-8 guys that play there, plus bigger turnouts for stuff like the Kessel Run and the like
