I think wave 7 will be the TFA stuff, and that it won't be released and available until Christmas. I think Wave 8 will feature stuff from EU and possibly Rogue 1, or you can reverse those. Wave 9+, I don't even have an educated guess, but I would suppose by wave 10 we will either have prequel ships or they will never be released. Disney is releasing a Star Wars movie a year. It will be all FFG can do to keep up once that really gets rolling. So, my guess will be we will get them before wave 10 or not at all. Personally, I don't much care either way, I enjoy my Mel's minis N-1s and stuff, and if I want to home-brew things, I can.

This is true. I still wuv my DX-9.

They really do need to fill in scum and add the R-41/T-wing and XG-1 though.

A film a year, with new toys? My wallet hates you, Disney.

It's interesting that the Assault Gunboat isn't out yet. I would have strongly suspected to see that in the next wave, but the argument that the next wave will be Episode VII stuff is compelling. Hmm

No Gunboat or Missile boat makes me really, really sad.

I'll still be be surprised if it's not out in the next couple of waves.

Well what's the point now? It was The Empire's ordnance-boat. Now they've got this... thing and there'd be just, no point.

Ugh. Maybe I could run a missile boat mini as a proxy. Does mel have the XWA Missile Boat?

Breaking news: K-Wing is preferential to both N-1 and ARC-170.

Episodes VII-IX and the two spinoffs will keep the product line busy for years, well past the "nostalgic" 20th anniversary of the prequel movies. FFG hasn't changed their mind about something so important yet (no one has shown me otherwise), so there's no reason to believe they'd want to long after anyone even remembers how much they disliked the prequels.

What thing?

Oh. I see.

Well, all you people vehemently asserting that we'll never see prequel ships - I think you have your new strongest piece of evidence. If they're choosing those things over ARC-170s et al, they must be utterly committed to not having any.

Oh. I see.

To be fair, Ordnance needs a fix pretty badly. Who the hell uses it?

But yeah, I hate to say it but you may have a point there.

Oh. I see.

For once I actually agree with both of you.

Perhaps I'm misinterpreting, but this is the gist I got:

-things specifically from the animated Clone Wars shows aren't in the current plans, although things included in the show but also in other places might be included (but not in the animated style)

-things from "Rebels" could be included if they're cool but they won't be in the stylized animated style (the art design would reflect the same realism we see in the current material)

I believe you're correct. I think the biggest takeaway, though, is this:

"More generally we're looking at the sort of game as it is, the Galactic Civil War going way forward..."

That would seem to preclude any Prequel ships, unless they were to suddenly appear in the Sequel or spin-off movies, which I find highly unlikely.

Why? This is a setting where ship models stay in service for a long, long time. The YT-1300 was in use during the prequels and is still around in the ST era so I don't see why capital ships couldn't be around as well.

While yes the K-wing ahd TIE Punisher are total abortions I will point out that this is the fix missiles wave.

Nonetheless, yes. You got me. this is pretty **** good evidence against the ARC170 and N1. Also assault gunboat, missile boat etc.

The K-wing, Kihkranz and TIE Interdictor are all scraping the barrel way lower than the prequel ships point.

Breaking news: K-Wing is preferential to both N-1 and ARC-170.

FFG hasn't changed their mind about something so important yet (no one has shown me otherwise), so there's no reason to believe they'd want to long after anyone even remembers how much they disliked the prequels.

Like I said - no prequels by wave 9 or 10, then no prequels. I may be amending that at this point to just no prequels. To choose the K-wing over real Star Wars ships is very indicative of their chosen direction. It will also factor heavily into whether or not I continue to buy FFG products or play the game in a competitive atmosphere.

More I'm thinking about this, the more I realise that the wave 7 stuff doesn't change anything. We knew this would be a bomber centric wave. What this DOES do is lower the chances of the XG-1 and missile boat, and despite the love of arguing over whether prequel ships are in the game... Yeah. I'd happily have an XG-1 and no prequel ships than the reverse.

Wave 7 is going to be interesting, 2 ships on it (the interdictor and K wing) are ships i'd only expect to see added as an april fools joke - BUT they are canon ships. Imma going to try to stay positive and just see what the ordnance fixes bring.

And I am going to hope for an XG-1, which now seems less likely than a prequel ship. That sucks.

That really sucks.

Seriously. I'd rather be arguing with you over the inclusion of the ARC170 than contemplating a game universe without the XG1 over time.

I'll give you that the XG-1 looks pretty sweet.

No hard feelings, fellas. And who knows? There could be a prequel game in the future, and there's always Shapeways for homebrewery.

Yeah there is shapeways, I have my DX-9 and escort shuttle from there. I was actually going to get some Vaksais which now seem rather redundant what with the kihrakx.

Well what's the point now? It was The Empire's ordnance-boat. Now they've got this... thing and there'd be just, no point.

Maybe they wanted to get the ordnance fix out into the wild and working before they release such a ship?

Re: Prequel era ships...

I always assumed that if FFG/LFL was committed to bringing in a prequel era ship, it would have been framed as a survivor in the Galactic Civil War period.

That means any ARC-170s are going to show up in Imperial livery. Same thing with V-Wings, if not both of them as scum ships. Full-flared Y-Wings would appear in Rebel hands along with any LAATs or Torrent fighters. Don't expect any droids, all of them would be shut down and far less likely to be operable than re purposed clonewars era ships

Yeah, mentioned that possibility in another thread.

Oh. I see.

Well, all you people vehemently asserting that we'll never see prequel ships - I think you have your new strongest piece of evidence. If they're choosing those things over ARC-170s et al, they must be utterly committed to not having any.

On the other hand, if Lucas Film were happy to confirm those /things/ as canon, that suggests they'll allow anything, so updating the ARC-170 for example suddenly seems possible.

ARC-170 in Wave 9. Now, it's true that we have ARC-170 wreckage in an episode of Rebels, but that's a bit of a stretch to justify adding it to X-Wing. But time will tell. I for one would love to see more prequel stuff enter into X-Wing.

Just a friendly piece of advice...it is generally considered uncouth by most active members of this forum to resurrect a year-plus old thread without excellent reason.

I would hate to see this post trigger a huge dogpile of derision against you.

Much better then starting a new thread, your post however is completely pointless.

As for prequel i would love a naboo starfighter, i think its a great looking ship.

Not trying to encourage thread Necromancy, but, the Naboo Starfighter was used by Princess Leia in the comics so is valid as part of the GCW time period now.
