In fact over the next 24 months I expect at LEAST 4 repaint packs, with at least 2 for Scum to variate them. - with new cards of course.
I'd also be disappointed if at no point they release a pilot card featuring 80's Sam fox in a leather jacket for Scum, because **** that'd be awesome.
Edited by DariusAPBI don't think we're going to see a rebel cloaking ship. I say this because the ACD is phtantom only instead of cloak-action only (like, say, autothrusters).
The stigym particle accelerator didn't need to be phantom only because it only functions on cloaking ships, of which is current exclusive to the phantom.
Both ACD and SPA are only usable by ships with the cloaking action, so I don't see why ACD being Phantom only excludes the possibility of a rebel cloaking ship. The ACD is most likely Phantom only because the designers knew how powerful it was and thought they had balanced it with the Phantom, but knew that it's existence would restrict their ability to design new cloaking ships, so they just game themselves and out by making it Phantom only so they wouldn't have to worry about it when designing new cloak ships.
Also, a Rebel Lambda repaint i can see happening too, with a huge rebel starbird spray painted on the dorsal fin.
I'd take an Assault Gunboat in Lambda white (not a fan of its traditional black and red).
Hound's Tooth/Bounty Hunter ships are all but confirmed as is something involving the TIE bomber.
Beyond that, clueless. Skipray maybe?

If you equipped ACD to a TIE interceptor it would be able to cloak after firing. That's why it's phantom only.

Ah, you're right, I didn't think about it that way. Well, it will still be nice to get the Rogue Shadow for rebels, the rebels are currently down a large ship to the Imperials.

Your both right in a sense...the cards I would assume were proofread before release...they could have just as easily modified the wording. I feel it was made phantom only because it was only intended for the phantom...else they would have simply reworded the card to require the cloaking action in order to use.
StealthX or Recon X wing as a rebel cloaking ship (Rebels got turreted ships and support ships (HWK and Lambda) but both niches got filled on both sides eventually, cloaking will be no different eventually).
Recon ships, here you go ...
I hope we see more tie fighters, maybe as an aces pack. It's arguably the most iconic ship of the entire OT, and yet we haven't got any new pilots for it since wave 1.
An assault gunboat would be nice too, but I just ordered one from shapeways...
Id totally be down for some new tie pilots
Tie Avenger seems to be a likely choice.
Tie Droid though I'm not sure how these would differ from the Fighters honestly except no named pilots/ PS2 at best.
Box set of Vader and 2 Ties from DS Trench with new pilot cards?
Hound's Tooth seems an obvious epic for S&V but was it armed enough for the roll?
Mist Hunter or Punishing One?
No doubt the Ghost is in the works. Could see Episode 7 stuff(X-wing mk2?) towards the end of the year/2016.
I'd love to say the Avenger is a likely choice, but it would muscle in on the turf of no less than 3 Imperial ships, the Interceptor, the Advanced and the Defender.
Hounds Tooth looks cool and distinct from everything we got so far, so would welcome it. But as a ship it is in a weird spot for this game in scale due to its lenght. At 62 meter it's right between a Falcon or Decimator (around 40 meter) and the GR75 (90 meter). So I think it's way too big for a large ship in this game, but wonder if it would look nice relatively to other ships if they made it for Epic...

Again, the Clone Wars showed us a smaller version, that would easily fit on a Large base. It is quite likely that they would go with that smaller version.

I really expected that whatever the Imp Epic would be, it would include 2 blue TIE Fighters with some new pilots and scratch for them - I assumed it would be a Gozanti carrier, since it would all go so well with each other.
Still kinda holding out hope for a roughly Rebel Transport sized Gozanti and a pair of blue TIEs. I'm sure the TIEs are coming, just a question of when and how.
ARC-170 - yes please.
Assault Gunboat - not fussed, but I suspect that will be this year. It would have to include a fix for ordnance, as others have mentioned.

In theory the XG-1 being a heavy ordnance user will help fix the TIE Bomber, so yeah i'd go with that.

I think what the bomber, and maybe other ships, need is a way to get their ordnance off quickly and effectively. Perhaps an upgrade something like this:
When you acquire a target lock you may choose to assign a focus token to your ship and then assign a stress token to your ship. When you spend a target lock you may remove one stress token from your ship.

Possibly the bit about removing stress when spending a target lock isn't required, or would be best in a different upgrade, I'm not sure.
Not sure if this has been posted anywhere else, but possibly this?

Isn't that really more like ten words? "Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens" and "Star Wars: Rebels".

No more like 3 he threw and in there...but we can both agree he is wrong...that's definitely more than 2 words
The Rogue Shadow as a cloaking ship for Rebels, possibly a dual faction ship for Rebels and Imperials if they make the generics unique, or possibly no generics and just have the pilots be Galen, Juno, Proxy and Rahm Kota(rebel only).
It would be sweet to have a large base ship with the cloak action.
A large base ship with the cloak action would kind of suck. It would be kid of rough to decloak since you'd need so much space. On the other hand it would be able to cover a ridiculous amount of ground with it's decloak.

I thought VII being a number excludes it from that category. Anyway I also forgot to mention "more Bounty Hunters" so yes, you're right. Its more than 2 words:)
Still kinda holding out hope for a roughly Rebel Transport sized Gozanti and a pair of blue TIEs. I'm sure the TIEs are coming, just a question of when and how.
Blue Ties are definitely in my wishlist after seeing the blued Advanced.
