Really hope the Hounds Tooth is the Scum huge...

Why do so many people think the Hound's Tooth would have to be Huge? Wookieepedia says it's "just" 62m, and even that's potentially inaccurate.

At 62m it is 1.5 times as big as the Decimator, which is our largest ship on a single base to date. I don't see that getting released as a "Large" ship without shrinking it. I also hate the Star Jewel/Minstrel Class, so my hope could also be accurately described as "not the Hutt Yacht."

I guess I don't see why it's necessarily 62m. I've seen sizes from there up to 100, 200, etc., and the only reference Wookieepedia lists is the "Official Fact File", which I've never seen.

Wave 6 will come out in Q1, and Wave 7 (either re-inforcements for Scum (T-Wing?), Rebels (unsure) and Empire (Assault Gunboat?, Missile Boat?, Imperial Transport?) or will be a Smugglers and Spies 4th Faction.

In addition to the 2 waves, I'm expecting 2-3 "Special Releases".

An Imperial Huge Ship

An "Aces" style expansion that gives the TIE Advanced some love

And maybe a 'Free for All' ship - One that comes with a Rebel, Imperial and Scum dial and pilot cards for all factions.

Also; to the person that posted a 'Tycho pack' - Why no Rebel TIE Fighter? He did after all fly one to Coruscant.

It's there. Number 3 on the second half of that list.

Since my list started out with the thought of a Tycho Tie Fighter, I was about to be really embarrassed that i'd forgotten it!

Only real guess I'll make at this point is that the release format will be 1-1-2 with S&V getting the extra ship for a bit until they catch up.

2 waves and 2 side releases a year seems a reasonable target to expect, but we'll see... It looks like FFG has their production woes firmly under control by this point.

any of the gunboat, missile boat and avenger would be awesome.......

Releases that will impact 2015 X-Wing Expansions:

• Wave 6 (Q4, 2014)
• Imperial Assault (Q1, 2015)
• Armada (Q2, 2015)

My predictions (based on my GenCon guesses, I only got 1 of those right)

Cinematic Play (Announced Jan 2015; Released Apr 2015)

• Battle of Yavin XX-9 Heavy Turbolaser (FFG already uses them to demo their games)

Wave 7 (announced Feb 2015; released June 2015)

• GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat (Imperial)
• K-Wing (Rebel)
• Kihraxz Light Fighter, Style 1 (on Roark Garnet card) (Scum)
• JumpMaster 5000 (in RPG) (Scum)

Huge Ships (announced Apr 2015; released Jul-Aug 2015)

• Vigil-class Corvette (Imperial) (unpictured in Edge of Empire Rulebook)
• Imperial Gozanti Cruiser (the 63.8Meter Version in Rebels)

X-Wing Starter Set, 2nd Edition (announced May 2015; released Sept 2015)

• Same stuff, revised rules.
• Maybe revised paint jobs
• Maybe acrylic tokens

Rogue Squadron (Announced Jun 2015; released Sept 2015)

• X-Wing repaints; more cards

Wave 8 (Announced GenCon 2015; released Oct 2015)

• TIE Advanced v1
• VCX-100 (Rebel)
• YV-666 (Scum)
• CloakShape fighter (prominent in Edge of Empire) (Scum)

Huge Ship (announced GenCon 2015); released Nov 2015)

• C-ROC Gozanti-class cruiser (Scum)

There are 3 sets of ships yet to go for the rest of 2014. Fantasy Flight probably wants to avoid taking away the thunder of these unreleased ships and their other 2 announced Star Wars games.

To that end, the soonest we’ll hear an X-Wing announcement will probably be at the beginning of the year, Jan. 2015. And I don’t think they’ll release any new ships until Armada and Assault are already on the shelves. (but maybe a laser tower)

It seems to make sense that FFG will go back to 4 ship waves. Currently, for small and large ships, there are 9 known Imperial ships, 9 known Rebel Ships and 7 known Scum ships (4 are cross-faction). Which means, if Scum gets an extra ship in every wave, by the end of 2015, all 3 factions will have 11 small and large ships.

It seems to make sense that the Core set will get a refresh, but it won’t be much. Maybe, they’ll have an alt paint X-Wing or Blue TIE Fighters to compel completioniest to get the 2^nd edition, but it will be an unnecessary purchase for X-Wing owners.

The name of the game is X-Wing, but only the B-Wing, A-Wing and Y-Wing have received the spotlight treatment in their own box sets. The T-65 plays second fiddle in the GR-75 expansion. With the name of the game as it is, it seems to just make a lot of sense to come out with a whole set of T-65 repaints and cards.

Some sort of X-Wing Rogue Squadron release seems to fit this bill. It might be a box set. Or maybe even a set of blisters.

Last time I tried this prediction thing, I only got 1 right. Guessing is still fun though .Whatever happens, they’re going to want to build on their momentum. And it would make sense that 2015 is going to be bigger than 2014.

Prediction: FFG gets all of our money.

Try to think of it as investing

Meta prediction: Outriders with Heavy Laser Cannons, being chased around by the Scum of the galaxy!

Product prediction: lots of stuff that I will be spending money on! I think we will see, in approximate order:

• Imperial Huge ships
• Imperial [something] expansion, with TIE-Advanced and hopefully TIE Bomber love. (TIE Advanced love could possibly be coming with Imperial Huge Ships?)
• Wave 7
• Some other random product or expansion that we haven't thought about yet
• Wave 8

My prediction for wave 7...

Rebels

M class starfighter

V wing assault fighter

Imperials

Rogue shadow

Tie avenger

Scum and villainy

Hornet interceptor

Cloak shape fighter

Imperials

Rogue shadow

I think this makes far more sense as a Rebel ship, unless you want to have less pilots (i.e. Kota). If FFG announces a Rogue Shadow xpac I'll reconsider my position on investing more money in this game.

Well, I do not see wave 6 by year's end, so I'd guess Wave 6 will be in the 2015 run.

Best Guesees would include:

Wave 6: Scum and Villainy

Imperial Epic Ships

Imperial Aces 2: To include the TIE Advance fixes and maybe the Bomber

Wave 7: 2-2-2 format, two new ships per faction

Rebel Aces 2: Y-Wings and HWK-290s

Scum Aces: Similar to 'Most Wanted' to adds more cross faction ships

GenCon Announcement: Second Edition! Which will include a new damage deck to include upgrades that have been added since the core set was created, point tweaks, rule tweaks, and a new Core Set.

I'm just having fun with most of these...

Love it!

So, theres one thing I do agree with absolutely; 3 ship waves. It extends the lifespan of thr game while expanding all 3 factions. As for the comment that theX-Wing played second fiddle to the transport I have to disagree. I think it turned out the other way around as the transport gave ud an X-Wing aces of sorts.

2015 = rebel aces makes it off boat in sometime before summer

wave 5 stuck on boat until 2016

wave 6 falls through worm hole, never to be seen again

Wave 7 (announced Feb 2015; released June 2015)

• GAT-12 Skipray Blastboat (Imperial)
• K-Wing (Rebel)
• Kihraxz Light Fighter, Style 1 (on Roark Garnet card) (Scum)
• JumpMaster 5000 (in RPG) (Scum)

Certainly this would be my favourite prediction - all of those ships would be cool additions to the game.

Only real guess I'll make at this point is that the release format will be 1-1-2 with S&V getting the extra ship for a bit until they catch up.

2 waves and 2 side releases a year seems a reasonable target to expect, but we'll see... It looks like FFG has their production woes firmly under control by this point.

Scum has caught up, pretty much. That's what MW was.

Excluding huges,

Rebels: 9

X-wing, Y-wing, A-wing, YT-1300, B-wing, HWK, Z-95, E-wing, YT-2400

Imperials: 9

TIE fighter, TIE advanced, Firespray-31, TIE interceptor, Lambda Shuttle, TIE bomber, TIE defender, TIE phantom, VT-49

Scum: 7

Z-95, Y-wing, Firespray, HWK, M3-A Scyk, Starviper, HWK.

The designers also said in that interview that Heavy Scyk upgrade changes the role of the ship so wildly they consider it to take up two ships of design space. That puts the Scum only behind by one ship.

No idea what will be coming out. But I think all Wave expansions after 6 will be 3 ships only (one for each faction) - Wave 5 has set this as a precedent, with Wave 6 being a blip as they needed to introduce an entire factions's worth of ships in one go.

TBH I'll be totally OK with this (or rather my wallet will).

I'm betting a YT-2000 for a S&V large ship. They already have an Emon Azzameen Firespray card. Pretty sure there will be a YT-2000 Ace Azzameen. Really, that's fine with me. I've wanted that ship pretty badly, with its glorious symmetry.

Maybe even a YT-1300 Sabra conversion card too, who knows.

I still wouldn't mind seeing a TIE Aggressor and Oppressor.

Maybe an "Advanced" X-Wing. Not really sure what else is available for Rebs. Maybe that Nova Courier and Rebel Gunship from Galaxies.

I expect all future waves to be three ships. One for each faction (in addition to a S&V Aces pack, Imp Huge, etc).

Perdictions for next year. The year of the prequels. Then by 2016 maybe something from episode 7. The new starfighter looks alot like an x wing with just two engines and non movable wings.

ARC-170

Jedi Starfighter

Nabbo Starfighter

Droid fighter- both types

Lando's cruiser

Hutt cartel cruiser

lets get them to release the stuff they told us is coming first,

I don't care what 2015 brings if they cant get us the stuff they told us about already

During the In Flight report they already stated that they were sticking to the Rebellion Era. Does that rule out the 6 post-quel movies that are planned?

Prequel ships would only be considered if they were around during the Rebellion Era.

We only know that the new Trilogy is post ROTJ. We don't know when the spin offs take place.

And really, I think a lot of whether or not the new content shows up depends on LFL.

My guesses...

Jan. 8, 2015: Wave 6 (it won't make 2014 — this is FFG, here)

March 26, 2015: Wave 7 (three ships, one for each faction)

July 2, 2015: Imperial huge ship and Scum huge ship (each come with a small ship repaint — let's say TIE Advanced and M3-A, respectively)

Oct. 22, 2015: Wave 8 (three ships, one for each faction, it'll probably include Rebels ships, although this will release early at GenCon in August)

It'll feel like a barren year compared to 2014!

Just because predict stuff is fun

2 waves with only 3 ships, one for faction.

Imperial huge ship, just one.

S&V aces, maybe a repaint of th HWK and the Firespray...

I predict... EWOKS!

Just imagine the table filled with 20 gliders!
Of course, they'd have to figure out an upgrade so that they could fly in space, but that's the kind of thing FFG is good at!
