So, each wave has had a ship cameo on the previous wave's ships.
Soontir Fel showed us the TIE Bomber
Rorark Garnet showed us the E-Wing
And now...
Etahn A'bhat is showing us our first wave 5 ship.
What do you think? Can you identify the ship? Is it a hidden Illumnati message?
A few folks have ID'd it and mentioned it as a possible Wave 5'r in several previous threads. It seems to be a mostly neutral ship? I guess? It is not one I am familiar with. If it is indeed a neutral ship, then have some doubts about its arrival.... though it is not out of the realm of possibility for such a ship to have seen enough use with one of the factions or the other.
Definitely Illuminati.
It's clearly either Maverick or Iceman.
DataS you opened my eyes! I think you right.
Can we have a picture, for those of us who haven't seen the magic?
Targetting computer shows the Death Star.
I'll be expecting a giant ball in my games by this time next year.
Look at Soontir Fel ship card, on top there are a Tie Bomber.
The wave 5 spoiler it seems to become some religoius or voodoo magic
I predict the Outrider in wave 5

I blame the Templars.

Some may argue they bring giant balls to all their games.

It's come up before, and that ship is a Yevethan D-type fighter . Unless FFG is planning on introducing the Yevethan faction (probability approaching zero), I don't think we'll see this ship. Better consult the crystal ball again!

If I remember correctly, it was also potentially ID'ed as a MiG-25.
In all seriousness, the Preybird (Yevethan D) was used by pirates in the books, if memory serves.
Preybird was used by the remnant, but it was made by sorosuub (sullustans).
The Preybird has a decent chance of showing up but there are more deserving ships IMO, such as the chiss clawcraft and the scimitar bomber.
Can we just let the card theory die? So many threads crop up about it and it's completely unfounded. Yes, the TIE bomber appeared on Homing Missiles in Wave 2. Because it's a Star Wars ship , and FFG is drawing on Star Wars art. Yes, the YT shows up on Swarm Tactics. Because it's the Millenium Falcon! How much more Star Wars Spaceship Staple do you get? Claiming card art foreshadowing is like being surprised they made the TIE interceptor.
Besides, it's not as FFG makes the all art specifically for X-wing. They freely share art between this, the LCG and the RPG and they get most of their art from existing sources. Marksmanship is the cover of The Bacta War. Decoy is the cover of Solo Command. ST-321 and Prototype Pilot are Ralph McQuarrie concept art. It's a Star Wars game drawing on decades of Star Wars art, of course there are other film Star Wars ships in them that FFG have yet to make.
That's a grand total of two ships. That isn't the E-wing on Roark, btw. Too big, different design.
What about the countless Star Destroyers, the thing that looks like Darth Maul's Sith Infiltrator on Omicron Group Pilot, the Sentinel-class Shuttle in the distance on Outer Rim Smuggler? Or if we go into Wave 4, the Recusant Destroyers on Predator (omg CIS confirmed)?
FFG will make ships that make sense, and card art often involves ships that make sense. But the card art has nothing to do with future releases.

Look at Empire Strikes Back. There's your TIE Bomber.

I can absolutely, positively verify, with 100% accuracy, that the ship Etahn is firing at is not a MiG-25. Where do these ideas come from?
I agree with Lagomorphia. Let the card theories go. The artwork is often generic and used across a broad range.
WAVE 5 SPOILER: Does this mean the next huge ship will be the USS Enterprise? Can't wait for the Photon Torpedoes upgrade.

Really? Is that the world you prefer to live in? One without tea-leaves to read?
IMO a world with Illuminati, premonitions of star destroyers, and tintip's out-to-get-him dice is just so much more fun.
This thread is like a highway to the danger zone.
Dont you mean Danja Zown?
Dont you mean Danja Zown?
Is that in the Kathol Sector?
The Zorba Express can be seen in the background of the Decoy card.
Keep looking until you see it.
Don't forget what looks like YT-2400 Outrider on the new Outmaneuver card.
I see myself into "Determination" Card!!!!!
I dunno, maybe you made it up?
I used to keep a blank D6 ship profile template and churn out ships quicker than I could name 'em.
