X-Wing is their number one selling game, they are making an online toolset

Apparently this can convert the HWK-290 and Slave 1 to Scum and Villainy. Pretty disappointed, I wanted a Rebel Aces 2 for Y-Wings :/

I can't see them selling a pack of cards that releases content that people have already paid money for like that. I could see them releasing new material under a cards pack but I doubt they will do it. The price point isn't terrible for a minis game.

Yes, we know that. The idea here being that you can get the pilots that come with the transport without shelling out $50 for a ship you'll never use in a tournament game anyway just to get the pilots.

Well you better get mad at everybody proxying it then. Really they should release those X-Wing pilots seperately. I did buy the huge ships because I thought they looked neat, not because they came with any special card.

I haven't seen anyone proxying it, but I only play league and tournaments. I'm happy with my big ship purchases but I didn't pay MSRP (the Corvette has been on sale for $50 recently). I am hoping Epic becomes a little bit more playable, as it is it's only Imperial players want to play it since the cap ships are so overpriced/ineffective.

As someone who bought the CR90 just for C3PO I would be upset if they released him in another manner.

I'm more disappointed that even Paul brought a falcon. The one thing that annoys me about the Phantom is that as a rebel player I have a really hard time justifying not bringing a falcon.

Yeah last week I was helping Rick practice for GenCon and brought a list that didn't have the Falcon. Took down Yorr and Fel easily, then got owned by the Phantom. Can't wait to run YT2400 and YT1300 together and just forget about Phantoms for an entire league.

by the way, if you want to be even happier you play X-Wing, take a look at the Attack Wing forums on BGG.

Fixed that for you. It is my dream.

How does the fanbase for X-Wing at local stores seem to be? I understand every store is different, but some friends are encouraging me to try the local X-Wing nights. I'm concerned by the fanbase I've seen for a lot of other games at my FLGS - I would never do a Magic night with strangers after the poo poo I've seen, for example. Does X-Wing tend to attract a more mature audience due to the slightly higher buy-in cost?

edit: yub yub motherfuckers

Aside from terrible nerd shittiness like unironic Empire apologists, it's pretty good. We've got one guy who screams swear words when he rolls poorly but he has stopped showing up as much. I just stopped playing him, got tired of hearing how I only won because my dice were hot.

The problem at my store is that they schedule other events for that night too, so the store is full of unwashed minis players and magic players love to come in and take tables when it isn't their league night.

On the other hand, I find 100 points to be boring as hell, as I haven't seen a new list at 100 pts in months.

But the thread does have a massive hard on for 100 pts and tournament play.

What does this mean? I'm active in a league and keep track of the competitive scene, wave 4 has been crazy for new lists and Wave 5 will be even more interesting.

If you want to fly A-Wing and B-Wing (without Rebel Aces):

Arvel Crynyd

Biggs Darklighter

Dagger Squadron Pilot
Advanced Sensors

Tarn Mison
R7 Astromech

Have Biggs fly cover for the B-Wing, which does your work. Tarn can hold his own 1v1 while Arvel rams...something.

Please. Just give me more Y-Wings.

Now that the game has branched out so much, I wonder if it might not be a good idea for FFG to release faction starter boxes that build on the core set. A Rebel faction starter box could be an X-Wing and two Y-Wings, with new cards for the Y-Wings at the very least. An Imperial one could have an Advanced and two Fighters with similarly new cards.
God I hope not, I'll have to sell more minis to make room

How about, with the Outrider card, if you get that secondary weapon shot off via a crit, can you shoot with your primary weapon, or is that considered like it was never there to begin with?

You go back to your primary weapon, since you don't have the secondary weapon equipped anymore.
