Tractor beam Vessery with TIE/FO or TIE Advanced support is going to ruin people. Those two attack dice are a lot more scary when your opponent is rolling one fewer defense dice.

Me too!

YES!

I probably play scum the most (casually), man I want to see the crew that comes with the punishing one already!!!

Why do they tease us with the imperial veterans and not do the rest of wave 8... now I have another thing to add to my wishlist, lol damn you!!!

Vessery- 37
-TIE/D
-Twin Ion Engines MKII
-Tractor beam

3xTempest Squadron Pilot- 63
-TIE Advanced X-1
-Accuracy Correctors

You could also do two Delta Squadron Pilots with Tractor Beams plus 3 Academy Pilots.

Overall, I'm quite happy with what we are seeing. It's managed to hit three points on my wishlist, and gives me hope for a couple others.

1) More Pilots with Multiple ships: We saw this with Hera, and the Fact Marek is appearing in a defender gives me hope that it's not just a one-off.

2) All three of the titles involve serious decisions. A lot of titles fall into "if I have Points", with only the Firespray and Y-wing titles involving a serious decision about what you'd rather fly (Even then, the Firesprays often end up as two solutions to the same problem). Here, booth Defender titles look great, and it'll be hard to choose. The Shuttle Title radically alters the way the bommber plays, so like the A4 it's a choice.

3) Make the Defender Viable- the bombers just a happy bonus.

I don't think that this preview was intentional. Generally, X-wing previews occur on Thursday/Friday. This release had some rumors floating for a couple hours, so I think something got leaked and FFG decided to roll with it.
