So When Should We Expect The First Wave 7 Preview?

By FTS Gecko, in X-Wing

You KNEW this thread was coming.

Didn'tcha?

Didn'tcha.

oh, probably later today, knowing FFG

set for a Q2 launch, which actually means GenCon

Wave 7 is going to have S&V versions of the Y T'S (both of them) as well as a new rebel fighter like the StealthX, and a new Tie variantype like the expiramental TIE's from The Star Wars computer games. Also is the Missile Boat.

Pure speculation, of course, but it works....

I'd bet that we'll see a 6.5 of some sort before 7. We've had wave 5 and 6 back to back, it's probably time for a ".5" box ala Imp/rebel Aces

Wave seven the civilian expansion perfect for escort missions, unarmed and good only for getting in the way.

Comes with a BBF-1 Bulk Freighter large ship that can only do 1-forward or 1-bank moves, and the title "FFG Shipping"?

Well, Wave 5 and 6 didn't give us much hints as to background ships, well if you believe the conspiracy.

Only card in wave 5 with wave 6 ships was Intimidation.

There is a Defender is Feedback array, so I'm foreseeing a Imperial Aces II with Bombers and Defenders. :D

Well, we are getting the Raider with TIE Advanced after Wave 6. That's an in-between release.

The day before wave 6 hits stores, stealing its thunder.

Sigh ... I really was hoping that this wouldn't start so soon ... :P

Hopefully we don't see even a picture of it until the day before it's on the boat. 6-8 weeks of lead time is plenty.

Wave eight is the space station expansion, immobile in space these facilities are perfect for bombing into scrap, weak defences ensure you'll have tons of fun endlessly starting your nights away.

Expected release for wave 7: Q5

Wave 9 waifu expansion you must have one female pilot and you must keep her alive, failure to do so leads to immediate DQ from any tournament.

I'm surprised we haven't seen a "Will wave 7 introduce a new faction?" post yet.

Keeping to form, they should announce Wave 7 within 2 weeks of wave 6 hitting the shelves.

FFG has been pretty consistent on announcing the next wave just after the prior one is released. The one exception has been when they announced wave 6 at Gencon, which I understand as far as timing since its a little bigger than just a wave.

When it's ready.

Also known as the Fire Emblem Wave.

FFG spoil early because that's when they send the thingamagig out to distributors: we're going to hear it once it's out there. FFG just rathers we hear it from them than via a picture of a merchant catalogue posted on Facebook.

Don't give them any ideas...

When it's ready.

Tell us what you know!
