Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

This card should read

"You may disable this card WHEN YOU perform a white maneuver if there is an Auxiliary Power Token beside your ship. If you do so, you must still skip your Perform Action step. YOU MAY THEN REMOVE AN AUXILIARY POWER TOKEN FROM BESIDE YOUR SHIP. No ship may be equipped with more than 1 "Impulse Drive" Upgrade."

I guess "ship it and then write a new card" is one approach to product scheduling...

Man it's easy to get spoiled by the simple, direct language and keywording on X-Wing cards.

This one isn't, like, unusable or nonsensical, it just uses a dense wording "If you are not cloaked disable yada yada yada..." that appears almost identically across like two dozen plus cards and should have been condensed to a keyword: "ACTION: Board a ship. Discard this card and..."

Man, if I were still drinking the flavor aide this Movie Era Trek stuff would be so my poo poo. This OP cycle was basically like the ex drunk texting "come back and I'll let you do that One Filthy Thing you always wanted" but I stayed strong.

I think the models looking like poop makes it easier to stay away from the game. Even though I enjoy painting my models, I wouldn't have been drawn to X-wing in the first place if the ships came in the package as badly painted as the star trek ones. At least X-wing allows you to play them on the tabletop and have them look good before you put a brush to it.

Absolutely. A big reason I got sucked into X-wing is because of the model quality. All my beautiful plastic spaceships...

From a cursory look, yep, just a repaint with the original cards still present. Dunno why this would be included in a wave at all unless they were just scraping the bottom of the barrel (of course they are).

Looks to be about the same size as far as a I can see, if you take into consideration the base of the playing piece.

Come on, they aren't scraping the bottom of the barrel. They've long-since bored a hole through the bottom of the barrel, and are well on their way to the Earth's core.

So we appear to be still stuck on Wave 24, but if we kept up the release schedule, we should be up to wave 27 now. The latest wave was nothing but re-used models (new paint!). Has the beast been slain?

Anyone got a few spare red bases and pegs? I'm setting up my X-Wing ships in STAW bases for the extra corner bulk, and need a trio of red ones for my primary setup.

Sold mine off in the lot sale.

Keep in mind that the "extra corner bulk" is going to make them incompatible with X-Wing to all but the most casual of flyers.

Nah, I've got a way around that. They get to measure to the base, I have to measure from edge of the ID token. It's worked so far, and if anyone has problems, I've got a set of regular basis just in case.

How do the red bases look? I haven't seen them in person, but photos make them look almost neon.

None of that makes sense. Measuring to the id card doesn't somehow magically equate to measuring to a legal base. It doesn't matter where you measure from, they aren't remotely legal.

Just get the FFG X-wing bases.
