The Preybird also has a strong Imperial affiliation (in the service of the Remnant), but it *is* a scummy ship.
Given recent revelations (Alex interview, other product previews)...wave 7 prediction
As much as I like the Assault Gunboat, I love the Missile boat more!!!
Give us the Missile boat we deserve. A 1 attack primary, with multiple missiles and Torpedo racks. And the SLAM system!!

Edited by PapamamboI think the Scimitar and K-wings could be fun and open up a new avenue. Bombers with Boost standard (I believe both had scramjet type things). Since they would only have 1 or at most 2 agility autothrusters should not be broken on these. And I would really love one of the named pilots (or an EPT) that you can "toss" your bomb forward with a 1 bank and then use your boost to bank in the opposite direction like a dive bomb
I think a torpedo will be in our future, a torpedo could boost X-Wings, E-wings, and Bombers, and B-wings, Decimators, Starvipers and the Newly buffed Y-wings probably wouldn't be terribly overwhelming either with some shiny torpedoes. (After all for a Decimator to use it it would still need to get you in arc)
The missile boat is cool but without some serious missile-boat only mode or ordinance it's gonna be useless.
No way it gots more than one attack die.
I guess I'm weird, in that I like the other version of the Baudo.
Its the Tie Mongo with a Mango and the Banana Bomb
words fail, who's responsible for that...thing.
My God...something more horrid looking than the Star Viper...AND ITS IMPERIAL!!
I need to go cry somewhere...

Look at it this way: at least it's prettier than the Scimitar~

Debatable...both are horrific yes we agree there...but i dont think the scimitar falls quite to the star vipers level...close though, very close.

Yeah, no, the StarViper's plenty nice-looking, I was talking about the TIE/m1.

Me too. The comic Skate looks more visually interesting than a flat plate with engines at the back.

Flat? Deliciously swoopy and curvy is more like it.
With Scum in the mix now, it's pure speculation what a wave will look like. Even Wave 5 was different in that it was half the size of previous wave, yet still more expensive somehow.
I'll stick with what I've said elsewhere - I guess that the next wave will be 1xE, 1xR, 2xS&V.
Alex Davy's comment about bombers can mean a lot of things. A repaint bomber aces pack, the Scimitar, a rebel ship with ordnance that makes the bomber great... who knows. It's a crapshoot for guessing, but it's still fun to speculate, so here goes:
- Repaint TIE Bomber (with white stripes) - new pilots, discount ordnance modification.
- Rebel... I really don't know, but the K-Wing seems too off, so I'll just opt for a -1 vote for the K-Wing.
- Punishing One
- Rihkxyrk assault fighter
I'm quite confident that I'm 100% correct on all of this, but because the universe hates me, I think that FFG is now going to scrap their plans just to "prove" that I'm wrong. ![]()
I'd predict the VCX-100 will be out before the YT-2000. But neither will be in Wave 7.
- The VCX-100 is part of a current show
- During the Inflight Report, Chris Peterson already stated there's a ship in Rebels that they like
- The VCX-100 may or may not be a 360 turret ship. From the show, it seems like it has a front arc and a rear, like the Firespray
As posted in the other post: ![]()
- Wave 5 was all large
- Wave 6 was scum only
- There will be extra attention to ´the other neglected ship of wave 1´; my guess is the TIE fighter
- ´If you like bombs and ordnance you will like wave 7´
- ´The X-wing needs a boost, but hasn´t gotten it yet´ (edd. in wave 7)
Based on these:
- Rebels: A slightly downsized K-wing to put it on a small base
- Imperial: Either a Bomber re-paint or a TIE Aggressor
- Imperial: TIE fighter repaint
- Scum: a small-based medium fighter (as in: X-wing / TIE Advanced bracket). Dunelizard / Kiraxz Assault Fighter / Preybird / Rihkxyrk Assault Fighter (though the later might be more apt to fill the B-wing role?)
For Imps, it's gotta be the Gunboat. That's all anyone's wanted since wave 3.
This is the single greatest example of hyperbole ever.
Okay, ya got me. Al the Imperial players have wanted since then.
Dont you dare lump me in with that crowd.. I think that ship is the ugliest thing around... I hope they never make it.. I would much rather have the Scimitar bomber.. a classic star wars ship.. not some video game piece of crap..
Edited by onewayScimitar bomber.. a classic star wars ship..
Get help, dude. The only kind of classic that ship is is the kind you find at the end if a library book sale, because everyone's picked out all the tripe and you get the book SO bad even a library couldn't get people to take it off their shelves for free.

I'd swap the pseudo-ARC out for the K-wing, and there's been certain implications about them really wanting to do the Cloakshape, so I could see one of the BH ships swapping out for that, but idk.
Is it bad that I only want the Hound's Tooth to be a ship so I can have one painted with the hound's tooth pattern?

Not even slightly!

Nothing classic about that ugly thing.
So for Scum's small ship most are thinking one of these:
- Mist Hunter
- Dunelizard
- Rihkxyrk (cool looking ship, name looks like someone just mashed their keyboard and said "yeah, good enough")
- Cloakshape
So what unique role do you all see each of these filling? I struggle to find a place for the Cloakshape (Zs and M3-A seem to fill it's spot), and the Mist Hunter (not sure what it's real strengths are). I think the Dunelizard or Rihkxyrk could fill the 20 point 3 attack spot, which seems a bit missing in scum (something like an X-wing or the fixed TIE Advanced).

That halibut on a horseshoe is fugly, but I like the rest of 'em.

If I were designing the Cloakshape, I'd give it room for at least two modifications slots, if not three, and I'd make one of those icons red rather than white - i.e. you may not use the ship unless it has at least one modification card equipped.
