Potential New Ships on the horizon

Armada has had a scum release with all our favourite ships.

Looks like ;

HoundsTooth

Punisher 1

Havoc starfighter

I'm calling it now that at least 1 of these will be Wave 7.

I have them sometimes, but choose not to share them most of the time.

Yours seem to be good ones based on your post.

There is a post discussing this topic here.

Whatever the heck Etahn is shooting at:

I'd love to have the havoc in the game

The Bounty Hunters have been fairly obvious, given how Alex Davy practically gushed over them in the interview at Worlds.

Yevethan D-type fighters will probably not be in the game, unless we're expecting (the hopefully not realized) faction 4 to be... whoever the heck Yevethans are.

I was definitely not expecting to see the Havoc...nifty. I was just playing Starfighter the other day. Could definitely be our ordnance-fixer

I'd rather have a true-to-the-books K-wing, but the bloody Havoc seems to have killed that.

The Jumpmaster 5000 does seem like a shoe-in for the next wave, possibly also having Engine Upgrade included in the package, which would be nice.

If there is a fourth faction you can bet that it won't come from Legends.

So, they were randomly put on this card? What ship, other than this one, is depicted on a card but not in the game?

Etahn is from the Black Fleet Crisis originally, so of course they're gonna have him shooting at D-types. The Defender also has a fleet carrier on its card art. BFC is the main other place E-wings get a lot of screen time other than Dark Empire (again, we're missing K-wings, grrr).

I hope we never see the Havoc. It's Pre battle of Naboo, and the H-6 scurrg was only a pre-production prototype that never got picked up. I'm curious how FFG could justify making it a generic unit to put into battle? Maybe that one base represents all the H-6s ever made ("several prototypes with minor tweaks") implausibly in one place at one time?

IF we do get the H-6, the only way I'd find it agreeable is opposite of the Missile Boat, which was just as rare.

I don't care about anything scum, but I think it's very likely at least one or two of the bounty hunters will be considered for next wave. We have Fett, we have IG-88, why stop there?

Those look like the fighters from the old Zaxxon arcade game!

They could just make stuff up like they did with the raider and phantom pilots. They could make the generic anything and it would be fine and people would buy it

I'm on my phone but I remember an old post pointing out two more ship cameos.

The Millennium Falcon title card shows some odd bubble topped fighters.

More interesting for scum, Roark's card appears to have a Vaksai (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Vaksai), which has ties to Black Suns.

Considering the Yevethans are racist, xenophobic, genocidal extremists, they'd definitely fall into the "villainy" part of S&V.

Ill take the Havoc over the ass-ugly K-Wing and Jumpmaster. Honestly, those two ships are the stupidest looking things that the game doesn't need.

I am a fan of the Havoc and Nym, I grew up playing the Starfighter series. It is good to know FFG shines some light on Nym and his fighter since it at least has some thought put into the design, such as symmetry and simplicity.

For me, it's less about liking the Jumpmaster design and more about getting Dengar as a pilot.
