that can't be Chris, the RGB is all a consistent color scheme rather than looking like a unicorn had dysentery

V-Wings are cool

I'm kinda interested in X-Wing players' opinions on winrates, in general... what % of games do you think a good player should be expected to win?

Testing with your own “made up” points is fun, I’m lucky enough to have a friend group that likes doing that (esp. for homebrew stuff or proxies). kinda doubt FFG would ever do something like what you’re suggesting completely openly like this, but if you’re really interested in testing things out and have a group of people you play with who feel the same I’d suggest signing up to be a playtester, I have heard it’s pretty fun.

I like that this Craig also has a chad goatee

Forum decided to double post so I’ll use this space to say that I still like X-Wing and if anything squadrons has made me want to play X-Wing more

Practice mode unironically super helpful also wrecking those AI squads singlehandedly feels real good

Literally any faction other than scum has enough recognizable ships to be added as a faction. Don’t see scum happening though CIS donut ship thingies would be fun

I have this one and it’s great. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1288911-REG/thrustmaster_29607778_t_16000m_fcs_hotas_joystick.html I got it from B&H, supposedly they’ll have a restock in a couple weeks. I have also heard to keep your eyes peeled for it at Best Buy.

Yeah I agree it definitely does feel very echo-chambery in here lately. I’m not sure why not being mad about nantex is an unacceptable take now but I guess I sort of understand that with the stress of the world people want something to take their anger out on. Let’s just refrain from taking our anger out on each other please.

I uh I did not know that not being angry about the game made me an anti-semite this place is weird, have fun doing whatever it is you're doing here I guess

what's up forum people per popular request I'm gonna share whatever we get from FFG official on the X-Wing Second Edition Discord Server here in this thread. (link to the actual server at the end of this post if you care, it's actually a fun place). I will try to keep up on this but there may sometimes be a delay between it going to the server and me being able to update this thread. Stuff we've already gotten (posting for posterity): 11/06/2019 Exciting news everybody! The moderation team here has recently been contacted by Evan Johnson, a Marketing Manager at FFG, in their effort to better engage with the community by opening lines of communication directly with us as players, from FFG themselves! While we work out the details with FFG’s representatives, Evan has already been so kind as to forward us the release windows for upcoming X-Wing products! It’s important to note that these are not final and may change for a variety of reasons, but the dates we’ve been given are: - Huge Ship Conversion Kit, Tantive IV, Epic Battles – November 8, 2019 - C-ROC – November 15, 2019 - Imperial Raider, X-Wing Damage Decks – December 2019 - Saw's Renegades, TIE Reaper, Hound's Tooth, Interceptor, Defender, RZ-1 A-Wing – December 2019 (note that these are currently scheduled for a separate release from Vonreg's TIE and the Fireball) - Never Tell Me the Odds, Fully Loaded – January 2020 - Vonreg's TIE, Fireball, Hotshots and Aces – February 2020 Feel free to discuss and spread the information to your friends. Happy gaming, and be sure to check back frequently for more news in the near future! Mod Team 11/12/2019 We had previously announced that we were releasing the Saw's Renegades Expansion Pack and the TIE Reaper Expansion Pack in "black boxes"—i.e. matching the rest of the second edition product, no first edition cards included within. The business team took a look at our stock, and it just didn't make sense to create those. The "grey boxes" released at the end of first edition included both first edition and second edition content, and there are still a ton of the grey boxes in stores. Because of that, we're pulling the black boxes from the release schedule, and will not be producing those. Anyone interested in that content should just get the grey boxes, which as I mentioned, should be readily available. Let me know if there are any questions! Hopefully this shouldn't ruffle too many feathers, but I'm sorry about the miscommunication! Evan Johnson, FFG 11/18/2019 We're taking steps to make our Upcoming page more accurate and useful in general. We've removed a couple of statuses: In Development was never a real thing—if we announce a game, we're done developing it. On the Boat commonly caused more confusion than it was worth. Basically, in the new upcoming page, every product is In Production until it ships from our warehouse out to retailers, which is when it changes to Shipping Now. To counteract the lack of granularity, we're adding projected release months, which we'll be updating as we get information! Hopefully that all makes sense! Evan Johnson, FFG 11/21/2019 Hello X-Wing players! Many of you have noticed that the huge ships have not been added to the X-Wing Squad Builder app. We are actually in the process of completely reworking our X-Wing Squad Builder app, including developing a much more user-friendly interface, offline mode, and support for huge ships and epic play. For now, all tournament-legal ships are still supported by the current Squad Builder app. For huge ships and epic play, we recommend that you use the points lists provided on the FFG website for now. We'll have much more information to share about the reworked Squad Builder app as it comes closer to release! Evan Johnson, FFG Last Friday at 10:06 AM Also, two quick updates on upcoming products. The reprinted ships from Wave 6 (Interceptor / Defender / Hound's Tooth / RZ-1 A-Wing) won't be able to make a December release date. We've pushed them back to an expected release date in January accordingly. In addition, due to overwhelming stock of the first edition Imperial Raider (grey box), we will not be printing or releasing the second edition Imperial Raider (black box). We're very sorry for the miscommunication on this, and it should not happen again with any of the other products announced for X-Wing. And finally! As promised, System Open information and prizes are going up today! Scheduled for 12:00 PM Central Time. Evan Johnson-FFG Last Monday at 2:51 PM Aces High Pods Up to 8 players can sign up for an Aces High pod and play two rounds of the Aces High scenario from Epic Battles, with some minor adjustments. Players will play for 60 minutes and score match points according to their placement at their table (see below). The first round will be randomly paired with 4 players to a table. In the second round, the 1st and 2nd place players from each table will face each other, and the 3rd and 4th place players from each player will face each other. Once the second round is complete, players will receive prize tickets based on their standing within the pod. Match Points 1st Place – 8 points 2nd place – 6 points 3rd place – 4 points 4th place – 2 points In the event of a tie, players add up the potential points for placements and divide them by the number of tied players. Example: There is a two-way tie for second place. The players add up the potential scores (6 points and 4 points for 2nd and 3rd place) for a total of 10 points, divided by the number of tied players (which is two). The two players tied would each receive 5 points. "Additionally, each player needs to bring 2 obstacles, 1 Hyperspace Marker, a 1 ship/upgrades equaling up to 80 points.
