X-Wing: Wave 5 Ships Arrive!

“Altogether, Wave V introduces two large-base ships, six unique pilots, and a war chest’s worth of new upgrades that include such notable crew members as Dash Rendar, Lando Calrissian, Mara Jade, and Moff Jerjerrod. Additionally, Wave V marks the arrival of the game’s first World Champion cards, Dash Rendar and Stay on Target, and both of its ships come with punishing turret weapons that are bound to obliterate many smaller starfighters in battles across the galaxy!

In several ways, the VT-49 Decimator flies in the face of standard Imperial tactics. It is the first Imperial starship to feature a turret weapon capable of firing in a full 360-degree arc, and where most Imperial starships feature little or no shielding, but demand that their pilots make good use of their tremendous agility, the Decimator has absolutely zero agility. Instead, it features a whopping four shields and twelve hull.”

YT-2400 Freighter $29.95

“The YT-2400 is a remarkable addition to X-Wing and the Rebel fleet for two key reasons:
It’s the game’s first large-base ship to feature the barrel roll action.
When equipped with the Outrider Title, the YT-2400 can wield a turret-mounted cannon, but then it becomes the first starship that cannot perform attacks with its primary weapon.

Naturally, these two key component’s of the ship’s identity play off of each other, and they go a long ways toward describing its personality. Piloted most famously by the renowned smuggler Dash Rendar, the YT-2400 is a highly maneuverable vessel that excels at getting safely out of tight places. Its maneuver dial is loaded with banks and turns, including two three-speed turns that it can use to race out of an opponent’s path.”
