I'm willing to bet my entire X-wing and Armada collection that they'll fully capitalize on the release of The Force Awakens:)
Official Wave 8 Speculation Thread!

Fully capitalize on the release of TFA 4-5 months after TFA is released because that's when their stock will hit stores?
Well I hope not but it's possible.
Wave 8
Fix for ordnance.
Fix for X-Wings.
Fix for my crappy flying skills and consistently low placings at tournaments.
Cheers
Baaa

SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
ROFL
Now, being serious.
Seeing the course of current wave, id say...
TIE Avenger (empire), H-Wing (rebels), Kimogila Fighter (scum), Rihkxyrk Attack Ship (scum) and Shug Ninx's Manka Hunter (scum, large base).
Id love the Vaksai fighter (scum) as counterpart of the rebel x-wing.
Wave VII is supposed to be out in Q2. So end of June? Sounds like they're going to try to get another wave out by year's end. Just for Christmas.
Says Q3 in the announcement.

Explosive Possibilities (For Us To Kill You All With Time!)
Whether you hope to bolster your Scum fleet with the best talent that credits can buy, or you seek an advantage in the Galactic Civil War, the seventh wave of X-Wing starship expansions promises to give you plenty of new ways to hunt down your rivals, litter the battlefield with bombs, and race to victory past the detritus of exploded enemy starfighters.
These four Wave VII expansion packs are scheduled to arrive at retailers in the third quarter of 2015. Until then, keep your eyes on our website for more previews and other X-Wing news!
... so in ten years, say!
Hurray GENCON!
PHOOEY!
DATS IN FOREVER AND EVER TIME!!!

Yeah but looking at it FFG may of decided no, since it IS a lot like an E-Wing... dunno man, but you could convert one up easy-like I think.

We need this!

Wave 8 is so far away still. We might be more likely to get an Aces pack before then? Gamma squadron striped TIE Bomber please! Or for Rebels, a Wraith Squadron X-Wing and Grey Squadron Y-Wing.
Ollie's predictions:
Rebels
- Ghost (w/ Phantom mechanics similar to the pup with the YV)
Imperial
- TIE Scout (insert funky new mechanic here)
Scum
- Jumpmaster 2000
- Rihkzyrik
Wave 8 will introduce the X Wing Miniatures and Marvel Superheroes Cross-Up Cross-Over Line. Play as Jedi Master Wolverine or Sith Lord Magneto as they battle for mutant kind's place in galaxy, or pilot the all new exclusive Imperial Thor-Class Dreadnought or Scum & Villainy Hulk-Class Freighter ships. Is your Spider Sense tingling? It will be, with all the all new Radioactive and X-Factor upgrade cards.

Shut up and give us your money.
I can't tell if I would be horrified or ecstatic.
Wave 7 is enough for me

They changed it at some point yesterday morning. Originally said Q2.
I want the TIE Aggressor and the TIE Oppressor ![]()
And the Assault Gunboat, of course

Interim wave scum aces. introduces YT1300 or 2400 to scum.
That's my bet, for wave 8 actual...
Assault Gunboat. Kimogilla, T-wing, R-41. With Twing and R-41 possibly being rebel/scum.
The Tie Avenger with S-Loops and regular pilots with EPT slots, plz!
Actually you just raised the best point. The S-loop could be what adds the avenger into the game as a TIE with it's own special niche.
Thats the idea ![]()
Wow. This is so sad. Wave 7 is just spoiled, and already you are speculating about the next wave.
Be thankful I didn't make this thread a couple days ago when I was thinking about it.
Anyway, I don't see what's sad about it. We're excited about the future of the game; don't spoil our fun.
As for my speculation:
Rebels: Scurrg H-6 (large base)
Empire: TIE Avenger (small base)
Scum: JumpMaster 5000 (large base)
Scum: G-1A Starfighter (small base)
I'd have said Assault Gunboat, but FFG has made it clear they will only make TIEs.
Yeah, I walked into a conversation about the Missile Boat at Celebration. One of the devs ended up saying "I know why we *really* haven't made it yet," or something along those lines. I should have asked why.
Yes - yes you should - not that I care too much for the missile boat or gunboat but it would be an interesting insight.
Didn't Alex Davey say it was pretty much down to what ships Christian Petersen likes ?

And Christian Petersen is who?
