I was interested to see that there were a couple of interesting additions to the Wave 2 ships for Armada, including:
- Scurrg H-6 Heavy Bomber
- JumpMaster 5000
- YV-666
I wonder if this is a hint as to ships to come for X-wing?
Armada news = potential new ships for X-wing?
Nope.
Nope.

Edited by BeardfaceUh... I mean, it's me.
We already know that wave 7 will feature bombs.
Please not another Scum/ Bounty hunter only, big ship only wave. :/
The Bounty Hunters are coming. The question is in what order and if they will be spread apart.
Well it would certainly be an indication that Bossk in the Bus (Hound's Tooth) will be a large base ship rather than a huge (if it does indeed make it into the game). Given that the Epic ships: Raider, Corvette and Transport are all present and much larger. Though the Bus is clearly not to scale, it still seems like a solid indication that it will be hit with a shrink ray (which I am all for).
The next wave will contain pizza.

Well, there are these threads from 3 weeks ago
Even though they share the same universe or source material they are different games. I haven't seen Han Solo yet. I doubt armada will have the VT-49.
So I don't expect every Armada ship to make it into X-wing.
Edited by MarinealverI doubt armada will have the VT-49.
Really? That seems like an almost certain thing to me.
I haven't seen Han Solo yet.
He's in the Wave 2 preview, actually...
I think the most interesting thing about the preview is that its an indication that Scum will not be in Armada as a faction, unless they re-release those ships as scum.

hey, as long as they aren't more turreted ships. I'm just fine with any large base ships out there
i'd actually really like to see a ship that can only attack from its sides and requires you to do fly byes to engage

I hope they bring in Nym and the Havoc to X-Wing.
I wouldn't mind seeing a generic PS 2-3 EPT Scurrg named "Lok Revenants Pilot" either.
given what we already know about wave 7, I'd suggest that the Havoc is likely to be the scum release for the wave.
Reading up about it in wookieepedia and drawing some correlations from the ships in the armada announcement, I'd expect it to be a 10 hp ship, probably with 2 agility and 3 attack (although if they pushed it up to a 4 attack i wouldn't be that surprised). I think it would have turret, crew and bomb upgrade slots, and probably just target lock and focus actions. I'd also expect some new upgrades: havoc title that let you swap the crew for two astromech slots and a missile slot, a bomblet generator that allowed you to drop multiple bombs, probably reload it as an action, and a twin laser turret (3 dice range 2-3, crits turn to hits). Dial I'd expect something similar to the decimator, but possibly with a k-turn.

It has the Raider not the Decimator
I haven't seen Han Solo yet.

Most likely. The YT-1300 is shown along with the YT-2400. But since Wave 1 is still waiting to be released. It will be a bit till we get those for Armada.
Nope.
Remember last time you said something wouldn't happen?

Whoa dude the Scurrg isn't that big.
What's all this about what we already know abuout Wave VII?
Nope.

Yup.

Lots of people though a third faction was unlikely, and it happened. That doesn't mean anyone who thinks anything is unlikely is wrong.
I am truly curious as to whether or not we will see such ships as the TIE droid or other ships from the Dark Empire comics, that is where the E-Wing came from, right?
also I think the K-Wing and the A9-Vigilance interceptor were also in that book series, the Incom I-7 Howlrunner also. and for our scum team the cloak shape fighter.
oh, we cant forget slave II either.
I like what they did with the aggressor and its ability sharing, would like to see something to that effect with the TIE-D Automated star fighters, cheaper so you could field 4 at a time, that would be cool.
but back on topic, I would not rule out anything we see in one game possibly showing up in the other = Raider is a good example.
the decimator does not fit in the title of the expansion for the ships in wave 2, so I am not surprised it isn't in there, but imagine if you will, wave 3 that will give you a box of 2-4 decimators with fighter escorts , and that may be the name of the pack, imperial escort ships, or system patrol force, but never the less, I think we can assume there will be a lot of cross over where size of craft dictates.
