* per se

Not concerned whatsoever.

That ship already sailed.

There are plenty of people doing those without the need for buying a kit. It's probably less expensive, too. Just don't love what I've seen so far (other than my Space Rocks asteroids with acrylic bases shaped like the tokens from the first core set, those are whipass). That and I think it would be cool to see FFG produce some campaign packs or some such that are complemented by terrain features. Like a long, narrow game board with models of pipes and conduits and stuff, and roles for smashing into the walls, for simulating the attack on the second Death Star's reactor. Or maybe just the command tower section of a Star Destroyer to fly around. I dunno, I was just at an Epic tournament a few weekends ago that was part of a larger miniature gaming event and I got jealous of all the sweet 40k terrain and stuff like that. I don't see that happening. The ships are the focus, not the terrain. I doubt that FFG is going to change their business model any time soon to include terrain when third parties are already doing it.

Maybe 20-30% of this forum. But how many kids out there own at least a few X-Wings/TIE Fighters and haven't painted a **** thing? *Raises Hand* I've got enough miniatures that I have to paint that I'm not going to spend any time on ones that are already painted.

Yeah, I think you've got an incorrect impression on the number of repaints. This forum is most likely not representative of the wider X-Wing community.

LFL was pretty strict about saying that games weren't canon (because of the different possible outcomes). Has there been any official (Wookieepedia is not official) word from Disney on this?

When it stops being fun, I'll stop playing.

If I'm scared I get cookies... That's just to bring in the recruits. Once you're in, it's too late.

Fear is the path to the Dark Side.

It ends up being another subtle nerf to PWT ships in favor of firing-arc ships. IE., a firing-arc ship has the opportunity to fly away from the battle and still get rid of this crit "losing nothing" (it didn't have a shot, anyway). A PWT *always* has a shot if the enemy is in range, so the blinded pilot guarantees it wastes a turn of fire that it could otherwise have taken. Subtle, but nice. I dig. Not guarantees, just makes it more likely. You can still have situations where the ships are flying away from each other, and the turret ship wouldn't have had a turn of fire anyway.

Not 2.0. The sky is not falling. That is all.

I don't think that there's any real element of fear, so panic really isn't justified. Hysteria maybe, or excitement, but not panic.

Well, Season two hasn't been shown yet. So far, they've been Rebelling on a budget.

I don't have a problem with any of the ships, although I like the Punisher and the Kihraxz more than the other two.

A YV-666 is (briefly) shown in an episode of The Clone Wars, so it's at least that old. The Gozanti Cruiser shows up in several episodes, as well as in TPM.

I don't play at any LGS, although I will occasionally buy from one. Otherwise, I will maximize my spending power.

See my signature...it's quite a bit so far, and I haven't ordered Wave 7 or gotten my Raider yet. Justification? I enjoy playing the game. Is any other reason necessary?

Except that your distributors would most likely need that information more than 10 weeks in advance. So the information gets out earlier than you'd want, and you no longer have control of when that information reaches the players.

Ermmm...none.

3xDelta + Ion Cannon is a fun build.

You've confused bumping with actual collisions.

Well, if they do release some ships from the new movie, we can always call it Wave 1.7.
