Not the only one, either. Another recent example off the top of my head was the wave 4 prediction of the wave 5's YT-2400 in the art...
...FFG tends to commission art in batches, and the objects used in them (and, if you follow all of FFG's games from card to art to RPGs) are FREQUENTLY re-used.
I did not notice till now, but that picture also showed the yt2000 doing a barrel roll. See the contrail coming off the cockpit section? See it circling away.
Yup... sure do see it!
I would also love to see the YT-2000, but part of me wishes that the Rebels receive a non-YT large ship for some visual variety. If the game is set in the Civil War era I suppose it makes sense that they wouldn't have proper military large ships yet.
... and the first image with a forthcoming SCUM preview.
I think FFG will develop an YT-2000 for Scum And Villians, and I think it will be in wave 7 or 8
bring on the pulsar skate... it can be used for both scum AND rebels.. and has a tie in with Corran.
Turrets are going to be GIMP from here out.
Not impossible, but very much not optimal either. I have 2-4 of every ship, except Tie and Z95s (8 each). I would only buy 1 gimped turret YT for the upgrade cards.
Would be a bad financial decision for FFG.
A Rebel ship with a front AND back arc.... ya... that I would get 2-4 of depending on ship size.
I like the odds on this one.
As noted in the OP, FFG already has done art for it (and that's been a pretty consistent indicator in the past).
Secondly, the only 'named' pilot we have for it is Ace Azzameen. And his brother, Emon, we already have in the game , as a Scum Firespray pilot. "BUT WAIT!", you say, "ACE FLEW FOR THE REBELLION!". Sure, he did... in X-Wings, B-Wings, etc. Never in the Otana - he only ever flew that ship when he was going 'off on his own'... his business that was specifically not for the Rebellion or Empire. Like, say, a third faction's business.
Finally... both the Empire (now), and Rebels have primary-attack-turreted ships. Scum do not (neither the Y-Wing nor HWK makes a 360 attack as a primary attack).
Sooo... a YT-2000 uses art we already have commissioned, uses a pilot whose family is already in the game in the third faction, and would provide to that third faction capability they don't currently have...
Yeah, I like those odds.
There were two other pilots out of that game for the Otana.
Aeron Azzameen (Sister)
Mk-09 (Family Droid)
And if you wanna get real technical you also have the father and elder brother (who were incarcerated by the imps)
This is what we use for our YT-2000, We play under house rules that you can pick up cargo containers via a stop maneuver. And most of our games fall under epic. But this is pretty well balanced out for us.
Ive just realised, that picture is from FFG from Edge of the Emprie. And the image of the Otana is directly taken from Laserschwert's version of the Otana:
It should be a S&V ship if it ever gets added, the family were not really supporters of the rebellion they just had no other choice.
The last ship the Rebels need is another large base turret ship. I can see this being for Scum only. I also can see FFG never releasing a 360 turret for S&V to kind of make them a bit unique from the other factions. I highly doubt we see this in wave 7. We just had a turret only wave in 5.
I think we'll be seeing the Ghost from Rebels before we see this thing.
I want a Chopper crew so bad. That guy is RUTHLESS.
Bring the Punishing One!
It should be a S&V ship if it ever gets added, the family were not really supporters of the rebellion they just had no other choice.
And it would fit.
It would also make for an easy transfer of the Transport as a huge S&V vessel: The Vasudra.
And you could also bring over the YT-1300 as the Sabra.
.... no more Rebel turrets PLEASE.
Now if this thing did something else, sure!
Well, considering Emon Azzameen's a Scum & Villany pilot, it's likely that the rest of the family (and the Otana) will be Scum too.
Meet the Azzameens!
This game needs more turrets like I need a genital massage applied via cheese-grater

If art was all it took then where are all the wave 7 predictions for the I-7 Howlrunner?I like the odds on this one.

We got Cloud Car art in Edge of the Empire too. WHERE'S MY CLOUD CAR!?!?
I agree this wouldn't saturate Rebels with any more turret ships because it should be a Scum & Villainy ship. I'd make it something like:
Attack: 3
Agility: 1
Hull: 6
Shield: 6
Actions : Focus, Target Lock
Upgrades: Title, Crew, Missile, Cannon
Otana Title: Must have an Ion cannon equipped. Before performing a Primary weapon attack against a ship within your forward firing arc you may spend 1 focus token to add 1 ion token to the defender if you successfully hit.
Pilot wise i'm thinking:
PS6 Ace - +EPT slot, Ability: Before attacking with a primary weapon, if you have a target lock on a 2nd ship within range and arc, spend the target lock to perform a 2nd primary weapon attack after this one. You may not re-roll dice on either attack.
PS5 Aeron ( Ace's sister) - +EPT slot, Ability: At the start of the combat phase you may spend 1 focus token to remove one red target lock from this ship.
PS4 Galin (Ace's brother) - Ability: When you perform the Focus action you receive 2 Focus tokens.
PS2 generic Azzameen Trader - no ability.
There's an abundance of Azzameen family members that could be worked into the S&V faction to be a counterpart to the Black Sun and other more nefarious elements. Tomaas and Antan (the father and uncle respectively of Ace), along with Emkay the droid would work best as Crew cards.
Tomas crew card: Discard this card at the beginning of the combat phase to transfer all Focus, Evade and Blue Target Lock tokens from this ship to any number of friendly ships at range 1.
Antan crew card: Something treacherous? Maybe allowing converting a critical hit on your ship into an Ion token.
Emkay crew card: When you reveal your maneuver dial you may discard this card to treat your revealed maneuver as a White 0.

Well, they did fire warning shots at the Falcon in Empire.

To be put on the Vasudra (to get the Transport as an S&V Huge) or the Big Score (another title card for the Action IV transport, to go with the Wild Karrde).
