OK when is the next release announcement coming?

By KILODEN, in X-Wing

we have our Imperial aces

we have our transports

we have our tantive

wave 4 is in the mail

only rebel aces in the pipe right now, how long till we hear of wave 5 or another between wave release?

if its another non-wave release, what could it be? (please no one say star destroyer)

im kinda hoping for a special imperial shuttle pack, that would include the emperor and a rebel variant for the tydirium and we could get some rebel crew as well.

a space station for the imperials would be cool as well. about the size of the tantive, but doesnt move. just a support and weapons platform.

hell, the space station could be tiles the imperial player places touching his table edge with turrets on them,

My thought is that the Imperial epic analogies will be like a 'Trench Run' scenario (turbo lasers and a remade TIE Advance) or like you said a station of some sort (lots to pull from with the X-Wing/TIE Fighter video games).

They really have to reach into the EU to find much that would fit the scale and scope of what the game is.

Tomorrow

Geez, slow down.

My bank account is still recovering from buying the Rebel Transport and Tantive IV in the same month.

In fact, I don't expect I'll be buying the Wave 4 ships for a little while after they're released.

GenCon probably

But please slow the hell down FFG, this stuff ain't cheap (in the quantities I seem to buy anyway)

Gencon would seems like the most logical time for something new to be announced. Although I am hoping for an Imperial Epic ship as the next announcement.

Come on yt-2400!

Gencon - Empire Epic ships

Sept - wave 5 teasers

Yes please slow down. I wouldn't at all be upset if nothing else comes out this year besides rebel aces.

I'd be shocked if they didn't have something new and shiny to show off June 14th at their Regional.

I'm still thinking that something around when Star Wars: Rebels starts, that they'd have something lined up - Disney is great at cross-over marketing. I'm still thinking the Ghost will be one of the next wave now. The EU is, for all purposes, dead. We may yet see a few things that FFG had started prior to the announcement but I'm thinking that nothing will come out of it other than what's been started.

Ghost, based on Wookiepedia, is 43.9m long, which at 1/270 would bring it in at about 16.4cm or 6.4". A reasonable size large ship. It also brings multiple new crew options with it too.

I'd guess GenCon for timing, like the Epic ships were announced last year. With SW-E7 not out until at least December 2015, there's going to be a slower pace for releases in my mind. Things will come out to keep the interest alive, but FFG has managed to get everything out up to Wave 4, or at least should be out, prior to GenCon. Even Rebel Aces may make it out by then, depending on your own personal definition of Q3.

GenCon is the logical place to display huge imperial ship prototype models. Like rebels last year.

Wave five might be scheduled for Christmas. Expect the first announcement three month in advance.
