The title of the article has to be a StarCraft reference, right?
"Heart of the Swarm", that's not a coincidence, right?

But it's also annoying as those who don't collect CIS want these cards.

I think it is great that none of the upgrades are CIS only, but either open to all factions or CIS/Scum. I think that's pretty good considering how much people have been up in arms about this ship not really being CIS.

I get what you are saying.   I was in the same boat during 1.0 playing empire.   I stepped away for a bit.   Played other games - Battlestar Galactica Starship battles for instance.    It honestly, my friends wanted to play x-wing again, so we gave it a try.   They enjoy it.   Especially the fan supplement Heroes of the Aturi Cluster.   
Another thing that got me back into the game is Star Wars Squadrons.    With the campaign we get two new canon squads to pull pilots from - for several craft.  
 
I think a lot of the issue is finding canon examples of pilots.   While FFG can and will dip into legends, they need to take a lot from canon, and lets be honest, the sequels have a lot more pilots in canon.  The Original trilogy era is getting more characters to choose from.
There is a lot of tie in marketing.   Clone wars came out with a final season, so it was a good time to release that era in games.   The sequels had the movies.   But now, with Squadrons..  it would be a good time to focus on the rebellion/new republic era.   If the new rebel and imperial were bases on Vanguard and Titan squadrons, I’d be okay with that.
 
Still..  it is okay to step away for a bit.  Play something else - or even better MAKE something else and come back later.  

???    No princesses there..

In Flight Report does this every year...

FFG give you something ahead of schedule and you berate them for it?
There really is no pleasing this community sometimes...

Anyone else feeling lied to?

No mention of X-Wing info being dropped today and they pull this.

You could try something like this. The idea is pretty simple. Veers gives aim tokens to the two AT-STs. The AT-ST with the concussion grenades pushes forwards with the stormtroopers that have the R4. The AT-ST with the mortar launcher holds back a bit more taking a second aim and firing each turn. THe biggest weakness of the list is that it doesn't have any good way to deal with force users. You'll have to watch out for a jedi trying to kill all the troopers because the AT-STs will struggle to score objectives. A slight variation on the light is to swap the hammers pilot on 1 AT-ST for Arbmab and give both AT-STs the grenade launcher. You might also consider the twin light blaster when the new vehicles come out.

More than that, If you infiltrate with Cassian, then recon intel, then deploy K2, he can be almost on top of the enemy.  

Having Steady and sharpshooter is a big boost for him in my opinion. Sabine often suffers from lack of action economy. Also we have not seen his cards yet.

They were seen in clone wars a couple times.

Yep. They show up in the Citadel arc in Clone Wars.

FIVES AND ECHO I WANNA CRY

Er... yes. That's a given. 
That said, the option to buy them online from the FFG store does mitigate the initial knee jerk... if people read the article anyway

Welcome, everyone, to the second annual "complain about or defend Adepticon repaints" thread!  

Zizi looks bonkers. Choosing to spend a focus on offense vs saving it on defense is one of the risks inherent in high I aces. Zizi doesn't have to stress that decision.

Liking everything I’m seeing for the Rebels.

This occurred to me, too. It’s probably Sith cultists flying the thing, right?
I feel like there’s a lot of story potential in a world full of Sith cultists just by itself. And then you figure it’s probably mostly them crewing all those ISDs? We could be getting plenty of weird & wild FO crew from that!

If we dont get a separate Tie Whisper ill be disappointed. That ship is **** cool looking and different in scale/function. One was a capital ship killer. The whisper seems much more like a fighter/interceptor. So much potential beyond a title.

You guys are so jaded.

Please make that just a title for the existing Silencer
 

Pretty sure it's a TIE Whisper not a Silencer
