What ships will we see in wave 7? So far the rebs and imps have nine ships each (not counting the huge) and with seven planned for scum.

What does the forum hive mind think that wave 7 break down will be one rebel ship, one imperial and two scum? Will we see some more overlap between factions maybe and expansions with cards and dials for more then one faction? what size of ships will we see four small two large or some kinda mix?

My call for wave 7:

YV929 Armored Transport - answer to the imperial shuttle (maybe with cards for scum too?)

Alpha-class Xg-1 Star Wing - another imperial bomber with cards to help the tie bomber as well

G-1A starfighter - Scum mist hunter

JumpMaster 5000 - and the Scum punishing one

I think you're probably right in thinking it'll be two Scum, one Rebel and one Imperial. We've just had large base ships for Rebels and Imperials though, so I think we'll be more likely to see small base ships for them. Perhaps something like:

Imperials - Either the TIE Avenger or Assault Gunboat

Rebels - Either the T-Wing or R-41 Starchaser

Scum - Large base bounty hunter ship, Hound's Tooth, Punishing One or Mist Hunter (my bet would be on Punishing One) and a small base fighter, although I don't know what they'd use. Possibly either of the two I've listed for Rebels, or release the ship in two paint schemes, one for Scum and one for Rebels.

I can see issues in the future where Scum and Rebels could end up with a huge overlap in ships but Imperials have very little overlap at all. This could potentially diminish the uniqueness of both Scum and Rebels. Currently, there is an overlap of Y-Wing, Z95 and Hawk, but they could easily make the YT-1300, YT-2400, T-Wing and R-41 available for Scum, meaning there would be more shared ships than there were single-faction ships for both Scum and Rebels. I wouldn't want to see this to be honest.

3 ships. 1 for each faction. That'll be the official "Wave". In addition, during the time of this wave we will probably see 2-3 additional expansions. Possibly a new "Aces" type expansion, and hopefully an Imperial Huge ship, or two. Depending on if it's just 1 ship or if it's a 2-ship deal like the Rebels got.

Assault Gunboat or Missile Boat. Will include something that helps TIE Bombers as well.

Assault Gunboat for the Imperials, Jumpmaster 5000 & either the Preybird or Cloakshape for Scum, and god only knows for the Rebels.

Yeah I thought about the T-wing and R-41 as much as i do like the R-41 I'm not sure if these ships would really be that distinct from other rebel ships. Tie avenger might be nice if it had cards that boost the Tie advanced as well. The hounds tooth I think might be a huge scum ship at 62m

I am with Crabok, 3 ships per way from here to the future but cannot tell which could be.

I'm expecting all small base ships. Imperials already have three, rebels two and scum two.

I'm hoping for the Stinger (surronian conqueror and Guri's ship) for Scum, chiss nsiss clawcraft for imperial and the ghtroc for the rebels.

Imperial munitions two pack - bomber and advanced.

Gozanti huge with TIE fighter (Baron Valen Rudor) with an ability that when doing barell rolls, you may do the maneuver even if you would touch an obstacle or ship.

Rebel aces pack with x- and y-wings.

I think we might see a couple of 2-1-1 waves so S&V can catch up a little bit, and probably a S&V Aces (although Most Wanted technically is that).

Although scum already has 2 large base ships I would love to see the YT-2000 Otana be released for them. I don't think it's likely any time soon but they threw Emon Azzameen in the Firespray with an Andrasta title so the door is open for Ace. One small supporting factor is that Scum does not have a turreted ship yet while the other two factions do. Just a thought.

YT-2000 Otana is so likely to be made that it is almost funny to think of it not coming out this year.

Yup...

I don't think we'll see the conqueror for a long time, since Guri flies a starviper already, and having her in two ships would limit options.

I wouldn't mind the yt-2000 either just thought ffg would push for the bounty hunters that were in the movies

If they don't announce the assault gunboat I shall buy them from shapeways!

Otherwise... Hmmm. Storm trooper transport and assault shuttle and I'll be happy!

yay. Another Wave 7 speculation thread. FTW.

2015 Predictions

Wave 7?

"Holy ship batman!" I want to wrap my head around finally getting my decimator after 4 years of waiting. (yes I am exaggerating)

but if I was a betting man, and I am not. I would say hounds tooth. its the only one I really want to see at this point. anything else would be fine and I will probably buy it, but the hounds tooth needs to be there, IT NEEDS TO BE THERE!!!!!

I think mission and scenario play is a bit of a missed opportunity for x-wing right now (similar to the lack of an imperial huge ship).

I would like to see some containers, container transports, tug boats, mines, storm trooper transports... just civilian, merchant, "objective" type craft. This will make x-wing more in line with the old computer games and allow for the design and implementation of many missions, narrative scenarios and unique campaigns, braking the current list 1, list 2, asteroids, go kill each other monotony.

IMPs and Scum have lots of ships that have yet to be made. Now as far as the Empire goes I would buy every single one. Scum pieces only if its a ship I like or has cards I want, so far yes to both.

The Rebs have a problem in that they didnt have as many fighters made for them like most other factions. Von have the smallest.

Most X-Wings look about the same with a few exceptions. Most diffrent Y-Wings actully look diffrent so I could see FFG making a pack with each version. A-Wing and B-Wing alts look to sim except the Raven, which I would buy in a heart beat.

What the Rebs got left besides alts, I would buy them all even if they look nearly identical, Is the K-Wing, T-Wing, Star Chasers, V-Wing Air Speeders, and whatever they add in ep VII.

They COULD also throw in the REP fighters the REBs dropped during the beginning of the Civil War.

I would like too see for wave 7 for the Empire TIE Avengers, TIE Scouts, Heavy TIE Bombers from Shadow Squadron, or TIE Interdictor.

Rebs I would like to see Y-Wing Heavy Bomber, K-Wings, V-Wing airspeader, with rules for fighting in atmo over every type of terrain. YT-2000

Scum needs Kihraxz, Supa Fighter, and Rihkxyrk. The Punishing One should be in this wave but like Boba, should be IMP / SCUM. In the pack they should have cards and plates for ZC TIE Defenders.

I really want to see an "Aces" for bombers, specifically the TIE Bomber and Y-Wing, with new pilots, especially pilots that give more incentive for these ships to use bombs and proton torps (something better and less predictable than Horton).

yay. Another Wave 7 speculation thread. FTW.

Your wave 7 speculation thread is soooo last September.

I wouldn't mind seeing an adversaries box that has like an x-wing and tie advanced in it.

SCUM RULES!

SCUM RULES!

You forgot Star Lord! You know "STAR LORD". NO...? Can we atleast have two generic "RAVAGERS?"

Me wants des 'un!!!

ALL DEMS!

NOWIES!!!
