Literally one thread is "Does anyone play for fun?". That's just the funniest thing to me.

The Hound's Tooth looks really interesting. Anyone catch how many points it's going to cost to field a freighter and then a Z-95?

So I had to sell my collection of X-Wang stuff before I moved, and I'm thinking about getting back into ti. How do you guys generally find games going on?

Also, I'm planning on grabbing a starter set again and starting to build up my force - are there any real differences between the Force Awakens starter set and the previous one? Also, are all 3 of the forces pretty well balanced now? Or do I want to stay away from the Scum (or whoever)?

So I'm buying Imperial ships. I've got the TFA starter set, and I picked up a TIE/SF and TIE Punisher because they looked rad as hell. How are they, fielding-wise? And if I were to sink another $40 into the game, what's the best bet? Imperial Aces?

LOL if you aren't crazy stoked for a bunch of garbo looking ships from forgotten video games or a few frames of the children's cartoon.

Yet they STILL won't put in the Assault Gunboat. Come on, there are plenty of ships left before I can do my mission by mission remake of TIE Fighter!!!

Yeah, as much as I love TIE Fighter the Gunboat and Missile Boat are awful designs. gently caress, ao many EU designs are so bad. I'd rather have something like an Imperial refit of the V-Wing or something. Not the awful V-Wing from Rogue Squadron though.

Don't care, just want my Imperial Y-Wing so I can re-enact TIE Fighter.

There was a different, much less ugly, V-Wing that served as a precursor to the TIE Fighter in Episode III.

Yesss. If the T-Wing becomes real, my dreams of re-enacting all of TIE Fighter in X-Wing miniatures will be very close to being true. Just need:

Stormtrooper Transport
Assault Gunboat
Missile Boat
R-61 Starchaser

What's the currently recommended storage solution for this? I've got a medium ship (the Dominator) and a bunch of imperials, but currently it's just all tossed in a brown bag because I'm a garbage person.

Also, how do you normally play using the Dominator? It's too slow to dogfight, but super tough.

Would this be a super good case to buy? I don't have a ton and don't really need the 74 now.

No. That thing is tiny. You can't tell by the pictures but it's reaaaaaaaallly small. Many ships won't fit in the trays at all.

Source: I ordered one, and had to return it.

If you don't want the entire giant $50 big one, just buy the individual 3750 trays for $5 each. Or pick up one of those Stanley cases people like for small collections and were recommended.

Word, Stanley it is.

Has there ever been any word on them releasing the Assault Gunboat and Missile Boat? Missile Boat could have built-in extra muntions and be incredibly fast (but not agile), while the gunboat could be slow and tough.

The Missile Boat could have a 6 speed Straight Ahead Only slam manuever that induces stress or something. And like 1 primary attack.

The gunboat blows yea. It does look cool tho

Finally, the Star Wing. Now they just need to release the T-Wing, R-41 Starchaser, and Stormtrooper transport. Then I'll finally be able to play through the entire TIE Fighter campaign.

I'm terrible at putting together squadrons. So here's an attempt at an Imperial squadron based around mobility and a strong TIE Defender.

98 points

PILOTS

Sienar Specialist (24) - TIE Aggressor
TIE Aggressor (17), Twin Laser Turret (6), Twin Ion Engine Mk. II (1)

Rexler Brath (42) - TIE Defender
TIE Defender (37), Tractor beam (1), Crack Shot (1), TIE/D (0), Hull Upgrade (3)

Imperial Trainee (17) - TIE Striker

Epsilon Squadron Pilot (15) - TIE/FO

Thoughts?

Does anyone know if they're going to reprint any of the Imperial huge ships? I'd love to add a Raider or Assault carrier to my list. Assault carrier especially, because having 2 extra TIE fighters would be nice.

I just want more plastic space ships. Give me my Stormtrooper Transport and reprint the Lambda so I can play through the TIE fighter campaign.
