Flight Controllers, Alt Art release please!

[Trizzo2 419]

I really like the way Alt Art cards have been done on a few choice upgrades. Leading Shots and Xi7 feel close to staple cards or at least cards you would buy (and probally have ) one ship to get the card.

 

I think a good choice would be Flight Controllers. It comes in the somewhat still expensive VSD expansion, despite being released a while ago. It's great for either faction and given the prior alt art cards were faction and ship specific Flight Controllers fits the bill. It is also somewhat collectible because unless you bought heavily into Wave 1/Imperial it's not a card you probably have multiples of. Given Floatila carriers, the prevelence of squadrons and still emgering archtypes (Reeiken heroes etc) this all points squadrons having a place now and in the future.

 

I find it is the most sought after loan card because once the meta shifts to squadrons lots of people want this.

 

Cheers.

Gunnery Teams would be a better option in my opinion. I just think you want more cause they are expensive to get in VSD packs. XD

I second flight controllers. Also wouldn't mind seeing APT's, TRC's, Engine Tech's, Advanced Projectors

[Ardaedhel 10,807]

GT is not a faction exclusive. FC currently is. Second for Flight Controllers motion!

Gunnery Teams comes in the core set and also comes in the AF2, arguably the best Rebel ship for the points, which also comes with several other good cards.

 

Frankly, Admiral Motti and Flight Controllers should both be alternate art releases.

That would make too much sense.  Obviously cluster bombs is what FFG will decide upon

So are APTs and TRCs. Maybe next year, with the four store kits.

[Truthiness 5,428]

Completely agree. Flight Controllers for everybody!

[Vergilius 2,117]

Flight Controllers please.  No more VSDs for me, and another couple would be nice.

I'm all for more rarer cards being released as alt/full arts in future tourney kits, but how often do you find yourself running more than one ship with Flight Controllers? I own... 3? Flight Controllers and I can't say I've ever felt the need to use more than 1 of them in any given fleet.

Some people may not have one. My friend had to buy one on ebay as he plays rebels and didnt want to buy a vsd. I could use 2, love me 10 tie fighters and 2 vsd carriers

Please don't get me wrong, I sympathize. It sucks that some upgrades are hard to get ahold of if you focus on only one faction. I guess what I'm getting at is might it be better to go for something you might run in higher quantities but isn't normally available to a given faction, like XI7 Turbolasers (which are in the summer kit) or Leading Shots (which are in the spring kit). Something like Assault Proton Torpedoes, Expanded Launchers, Electronic Countermeasures, Advanced Projectors, or the like.

Don't get me wrong, I'll take whatever we can get, just trying to do the most good is all.

[Blail Blerg 7,335]

A lot of us really don't want to buy a VSD pack.

That **** ship needs so much help right now.

I agree that they should focus on the rarer cards that are faction exclusive. They currently have rebel-exclusive cards lined up for this. Flight Controllers really should be next. I have two now, which is all I see needing, but I had to trade for both because why would I buy a VSD as a rebel player?

[X Wing Nut 2,309]

YES YES YES

 

As a dirty Rebel player its the only card I really want but don't have and I really don't want to buy a VSD

 

I always fly a lot of squadrons and would have no problem putting 2 or 3 of these in a list

 

Please FFG put it in store kit

[Gottmituns205 1,595]

No, you're gonna pay for two VSD's like I did.....

 

.....and you'll like it to!

[Green Knight 8,822]

Noooo! You'll buy your 3rd vsd and you're going to like it young man!

I don't like to support the Evil Empire by buying there ships
