As I was thinking about ideas for a new boba or jango fett the thought occured to me....what about Zam......she was the only memorable bounty hunter from the movies that got only one mini (cad bane wasn't in any movies and he also had the exception of being a recent edition to the game)

Aurra sing only got 2 minis, both of which - though the original is decent - haven't been a part of the meta for a long time.....

I think an idea for a fourth set could be an "emissaries and assassins" set, where we could get a new boba (maybe 2, since people want both young and old ones) and a new jango, a new Zam, a new aura sing, maybe greedo if he isn't in cantina brawl,and any other hunters I missed ( a d'harhan would be kriffing awesome)

(the thought just dawned on me that we have more minis of 4-lom than jango)

Any other hunters you'd like to see?
Maybe Cradossk?
A new calo nord?

And any abilities?
I'd love to see what you guys (especially Saber1) can come up with for clawdites......

Since she could feed off of the fear of her enemies I think she could use an ability sorta like bravado but the opposite.....
"sadistic hunger: +4 attack and +10 damage against living enemies in 6 squares with a printed cost of 20 or less"

I've been asking for a Villie well before WOTC ended the game. It needs to happen already.. sheesh!

Yeah a nice non unique BH CE is good, and maybe a small bonus for the uniques as well, maybe a Defense boost as most are already doing great on offense.

oh and as for Aurra and the sadistic hunger. I'd say against enemies who have taken any damage. seeing that they are hurt, they have something to fear.

that goes for both Banes I bet lol

Those guys are definitely possibilities. Zam is a piece that I've wanted to see for a while now. Hopefully the guys working on set 4 will make her, since that set is more Fringe-focused. One idea I've heard for her that I think is pretty neat is

Shapeshifter (This character can count as any species)

Since Vong is a faction in our game it doesn't interact with Shaper/Scarification/etc., but she could do stuff like get Superstealth and +4 attack from Niles, get +4 attack and Evade from A'Sharad, get Wookiee-specific stuff from a few people, things like that.

I hadn't really thought much of a new Aurra, but I imagine we will get a new one of her sooner or later.

Who is the design team for set 4 and where is that information (lead designers/playtesters/etc) posted? Or is the team even set yet?

I really like the idea that Echo gave in making the ability Shapeshifter for Zam Wessel. Giving her acess to many of the racial CE's would be a nice boost and make for some interesting builds (imagine her with the Jawa Chiefs CE ). I was also thinking of a way to make her more of a surprising character. Maybe another new ability that makes enemies take a -4 to saves against this characters special abilities. That way Kohun Infestation is more effective as well as Jolt or Grenades if she was ever given them. I could see her having the pilot ability since she did have a long chase in the speeder in Corusant. Give her Grenades with a Rodian Trader and combine her with Jon "Dutch" Vander and she will have Grenades 30. She should definetly have Accurate Shot (i mean c'mon she took out that little ASN Assasin Droid with Obiwan hanging on it at a very long distance). And as in the older version of her, Loner and Stealth fits perfectly. Maybe even add the new ability Assasin to her. I would really like to see another Zam Wessel, and hope the designers attempt to make an interesting piece of her if they decide to make her in a future set.

I would like to see another Aurra Sing with Blaster Barrage. The 41pt cost one never see's play mostly cause she has no Accurate Shot and she only has a base 10 damage. Considering how good peices like Arica are in comparison, I feel a more beefier version could be made that costs similarly to Aurra Sing,Jedi Hunter that also has Sniper, since in the Clone Wars TV series she was seen picking of Senate Commando's at long range with a Sniper rifle when Cad Bane was attacking the Senate.

I would absolutely love another Jango Fett also. Missiles 30, Jedi Hunter (should definitely be on him) and Deadeye are some of the abilities I'd like to see. Maybe a Flamethrower 30?

I like the idea, but it does introduce a new game term. I don't think species currently has an in-game definition.

I think that's been a definition in the game since ROTS when update gave wookiees bodyguard and the manual said that chewbacca and tarrful also count as wookiees

It's not posted yet. The design committee as a whole (not just the designers, but also the playtesters, project lead, etc.) usually discuss who's doing what for the next set. As a rule we're keeping at least 1 person who has done the job before in the next set, so if there are 2 lead playtesters 1 of them has done it before while 1 of them is potentially new, and if there are 3 designers at least 1 of them has been a designer before. The new person in the role is generally someone who has helped with other parts of the process before and someone that the committee believes would do a good job.

For set 1 I signed up as a playtester in the thread for it, and just received a PM from Bill with information and stats to test. A couple of months before testing for set 2 began, Weeks and myself got PMs from Bill asking if we would like to be the lead playtesters for that set . For set 3, I actually got a text message from Ray asking if I would like to help design the set. The conversation for set 4 is currently ongoing.



Yeah, we would have to define "species" in the rules insert for the set. Thankfully, though, this would actually be a rule that more or less follows common sense. The rules insert would have a comprehensive list of species used in the game (and of course would be updated if we ever added any more), but I'm sure most players could figure out how it worked. The only oddity would be the fact that things like Shaper that give a bonus to Yuuzhan Vong aren't giving it to the Vong species, but the Vong faction (that's why things like the Chazrach can get Shaper even though in canon they aren't of the Vong species; in the game they are part of the Vong faction, which is what Shaper identifies).
