Wave V Additional Ships

By Blusox69, in X-Wing

So when the Falcon and Slave 1 came out we also got 2 smaller ships the Tie Interceptor and the A-Wing.

Do you think we'll get to small ships in addition to the to larger ships we already know about from wave V?

If so any guesses on what they will be?

I's been years since I played the old X-Wing PC games so can't remember the other EU variants from there, and I've never read any of the EU books. I'm an OT person and the only ships I can think of are snow speeders, and I'd be very surprised to see them turn up.

I doubt it because with Every wave they have announced everything at once .

My guesses:

-StarViper-class fighter, as it fits the SotE theme with the release of the Outrider

-StealthX to allow rebels a chance at running a cloaking fighter

It would also be nice to see the Chiss Clawcraft or the Raven's Claw, but those might come in later waves.

Maybe a huge ship for the Imps. The Empire had 2 Crusader -class corvettes during the Rebellion. After the Battle of Yavin, the Imperial Remnant started using them, and after the birth of the new Empire, their use became widespread.

I think the Rebel Aces should be out by September.

I suppose with the Aces expansions coming out I'll be busy enough with what I have from Wave IV and the Decimator :-)

(for those of us that aren't mad and buy 6 of each)

I like being crazy...

:P

I would love a Skipray blastboat, maybe available for both factions, because the heavy fighter would be a fun addition. Unlikely I know. I could see the TIE Hunter in, or maybe the Cutlass 9 starfighter- though neither are well known.

Gunboat... Would be perfect time to release, with the Decimator

I think we are in a good place for fighters and I don't want them to rush out more for the sake of it, more will come.

I'm looking forward to a big ship with a turret for my imps, tempted to pre-order two for when we eventually play epic games.

And I really want some large imperial craft.

It's just the 2 ships for Wave 5. They are trying to save you money, considering everyone is going to have to buy many ships for the new faction when it comes out.

Yup...

:ph34r:

There's definitely room in the Wave 5 large ship announcement for addtional Wave 5 ships.

I think there is a lot of support for this that we will see 2 more small ships that will come out with wave 5

Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce the upcoming release of two new starships for X-Wing™ !

In this, the game’s fifth wave, two large starships arrive ready for the heat of battle: the Rebellion’s YT-2400 and the Imperial’s VT-49 Decimator.

I've changed my mind, this seems deliberately ambiguous enough for there to be 2 other ships. Given that there's 4 mystery product codes, 2 wave 5 ships and 2 huge imperials fits that.

Where do you see the mystery product codes? :-)

True, but the TIE Hunter is apparently in Age Of Rebellion.

Well the Imperial Aces and Huge Rebel ships were not part of the standard waves. They were like wave 3.5. I would expect the Rebel Aces and Imperial Huge Ships to follow suit.

I still think there are 2 small ships in this wave. I'm holding out hope fore some Mercenary love.

There can be...only 2!

I kinda' count Rebel Aces as this wave, in a way.
