X-Wing Wave 11

Three ships, none of them from the films or even reasonably well-known spin-offs. Nor anything particularly exciting by way of mechanics, although I guess the small-ship reinforce sounds fun. I think this may be the first time I pass on an X-Wing wave.

I got out of the game a while back (still have a ton of stuff for sale, if anyone's interested) but I still check in and see what new ships are being produced. My reaction to these was the same as yours: tepid, at best. They seem like they're just variations on the TIE Bomber and other ordnance-heavy ships that are already in the game. When I stopped playing (just before the release of Scum and Villainy), ordnance was still a subpar way to approach conflict, anyway, so I wouldn't have been interested in these at all. Don't know if that's changed in the interim.

I am a pretty big x-wing fan, I get excited to read about the new waves, but no longer feel like I need to purchase everything, but I do get a ship now and then. I mostly play epic these days.

I like the reinforce on the wookiee ship and the new unguided missiles will be a nice fix for bombers and punishers. [takes up two missile slots and attacks with 3 dice, does not discard and you can't modify dice except with focus token- which you must have to shoot the missiles] I'll definitely get a TIE aggressor just to have a turret option for my imperials, and put the Wookie ship on my amazon wishlist in case Santa needs a stocking stuffer.
