You cast a wide net, but yeah; pretty good catch for the Havoc. Bounty hunter ships are all but announced, given the way Alex Davy gushes over them any time anyone asks about them. I'm periodically guessing URLs for all ESB bounty hunters and their ships. Any ideas for guesses I could try for the Havoc? like squadron names, unique havocs that might be in a release as a title, or crew/named pilots?
BOSS': STAR WARS X-WING WAVES 7 TO 9...?

Yeah on the Havoc-Scurrg prediction, you know it jumped right out at me as a can do ship after we got the Decimator.
I would use the info posted at the wiki for your fishing.
They did say that starting with wave 7 that waves will only be 3 ships right?

No that is what some people here have assumed they will do. It is a forum ghost.

Well, there's Nym. Maybe his wingmen/the other characters from Starfighter.
JBR7, I'm trying to figure out the color coding...
Got it
Probable
Possible
Doubtful
Thousands of years out of era
Close?

Thousands of years out of era (true but we might get them if FFG does era stuff... who can say what the next few years will bring.)
Close?
You have it exactly right... as usual.
While I know that each faction doesn't need (nor should have) mirror ability ships, I think the best thing to do is look not at what ships have not been made - but rather where the needs of each faction are.
Rebels - are missing a cloak capable ship
Empire - they are missing a small base turreted ship
Scum - is missing a assault bomber (slow but tough) ship like the B-Wing & another ship utilizing the astromech slot
Again, while I don't agree that each faction NEEDS to have 1 of each style of ship - one could argue that they offer pretty big strategy holes to fill. To that end, my predictions are:
Rebels - Possibly a Stealth X-Wing utilizing the cloaking mechanic
Empire - either a Gamma Class Assault Shuttle or ATR-6 Transport with similar turret and support specs as the HWK
Scum - I'm fond of Nym's Havoc
Of course, I've been very wrong in the past.
joe what's this KOTOR/SWTOR stuff doing here
I can see TOR and KoTOR ships in there. That's pushing wishful thinking a bit far.
Not sure what the Outrider's doing there.
Yeah Alex just talked about the game eras expanding, in the coming years just to have new goodies to make. He even mentioned Clone Wars ships...
That's twisting his words at best and falsifying them at worst. He said that ships run out and he could see something like an ARC-170 happening in GCW.
Watch it again... i know what has been said over the last year of interviews thanks. Do you?
Around 8:30 (rough transcription)
Interviewer: So are we going to see any archaic starfighters, like Tempest [garbled] Clone Wars ships as well?
Alex Davy: It's always possible [emphasis original]... I know that we've been trying to steer clear of Clone Wars in general, just because we're trying to stay within the same era, but, I mean, if the game---
Interviewer: Those are all holdover ships.
Alex Davy: That's true. It's, like, an ARC-170 would make sense.
Interviewer: Right.
Alex Davy: Like, it's not impossible. [Emphasis original] Uh, and I would say if the game keeps going and keeps being successful, uh, we're going to run out of ships. We're going to have to do something.
Then he goes on to mention Episode VII and that a lot of the decisions of which ships to include come from Christian Peterson (CEO) and upper management.
At 10:08
Alex Davy: Basically what it comes down to is, what does Christian like and what does the game need, and, you know, that pretty much--and, what will LFL be most comfortable with?
Edited by z0m4dWe already what Christian Peterson's view is regarding prequel trilogy ships. Now we know Alex Davy's.

joe what's this KOTOR/SWTOR stuff doing here
The whispers are saying that KOTOR FILMS are being planned right now. I heard this about six months ago when we knew that E7 was just the start of the NEW ERA...
Dat Mouse!
oh god please no not more KOTOR era please god no
oh god please no not more KOTOR era please god no
Why for?
oh god please no not more KOTOR era please god no
Why for?
Because the only good thing about KOTOR is its story and characters. That's it. I have so, so many problems with the manner in which the technology is done, how far in the past it is, and how little has changed in general. A digit should've been taken off to make it make just a little more sense.
We're seeing vast technological advancement in Episode VII. BB-8 is the number one example.
T3-M4 is very similar to R2-D2. Several different things but you can easily see the basis. 4000 years ago.
BB-8 only resembles R2-D2 in the head. That's it. Massive developments, refinements and overall advancements... And how long did that take?
Under 40 years.
KOTOR's technology presentation, and understanding of technological development is garbage. The characters? Story? Great. Set too far back. Great games. But just.
Look the only way to make it mesh would be to make it an alternate reality. What's worse is when people say "Oh it's the best version of Star Wars" when half of what it does is mack off of what was done decades earlier. The prequels have more of an excuse for similarities than KOTOR does. Why?
Again.
Timespan.
Argh.

They should of set it in like say 400 years ago... prolly.

They really should have. I desperately want to adore KOTOR, but I have such a hard time doing so because... Ugh. The technology is completely stagnant... And I've got a reeeeaaaaaaal beef with SWTOR. Real beef.
DUNE could of been as great as STAR WARS. That story has long time jumps but it does not slap you in the face like what you are describing with KOTOR.
