Thought it would be helpful to point it out to help spoiler makers do their job ASAP.

Gladiator:
All content has been already spoiled thanks to FAQ and Wraithdt.

3 out of 14 upgrade cards unknown:

- Director Isard (Officer)

- Flight Controllers (Weapons Team)

Assault Frigate:
3 out of 14 upgrade cards unknown:

- Advanced (...) (Defensive Retrofit) [Maybe 'Advanced Shielding'?]

- Veteran (...) [Maybe 'Veteran Captain'? Officer?]
- Point (...) R(...) (Offensive Retrofit) [Maybe 'Point Defense Range Lasers'?]

Nebulon B:

5 out of 8 upgrade cards unknown:

- Any Commander?
- Upgrades distributed between Turbolasers, Officer, Support Team and maybe Commander types.

CR90 Corvette:
3 out of 8 upgrade cards unknown:

Imperial Starfighters:

I think we know all the TIE's and their aces. (TIE Fighter-Mauler Mithel, TIE Bomber- Major Rhymer...just got that, TIE Interceptor-Baron Soontir Fel, TIE Advanced- Darth Vader)

The A-Wing ace is Tycho Celchu. We don't know his ability yet but from the visible text the popular speculation is that he can move despite engagement. This has not been verified and who knows if the card text will change between preview and production. Maybe they didn't spoil him because they wanted to do something with him that wasn't give him Rogue before its a keyword.

Nice job collecting this stuff into one place, hopefully we start seeing some spoilers soon.

Would we also like note the key differences between spoiled cards, and the real cards here as well?

If tycho can move while engaged, why not give him the grit ability from the wave 2 ships???

It must be something slightly different.

If tycho can move while engaged, why not give him the grit ability from the wave 2 ships???

It must be something slightly different.

Because his card was designed before Wave 2, so they didn't know at that point that they wanted to keyword it? As mentioned, it's possible that they changed his ability since the preview to avoid exactly that, but it's the reasonable explanation for why he was previewed like that.

So there are 3 cards in the VSD box that are not in the core box that are not known?

Grit allow you to move while engaged. Tycho text seem to indicate that he can move while engaged but also shot at ships while engaged.

The A-Wing ace is Tycho Celchu.

Edited. Thanks for pointing that out.

Short answer: yes.

Now the long one: there are 14 upgrade cards in Victory box, 5 of them are also in core box (Assault Concussion Missiles, Gunnery Team, Overload Pulse, Expanded Hangar Bay, Defense Liaison); there are also 6 cards that are not in core box but are known (Admiral Motti, both title cards, Intel Officer, XX-9 Turbolasers, Ion Cannon Batteries).

Thanks, I was debating on getting another VSD. I might get one now.

Ah yes, it must be :) Well spotted.

For those of you who have gotten your Wave 1 ships today, please contribute to this thread so that we can fill in the blanks. thanks.

There's a couple I don't recognize from the Assault Frigate:

Officer: Veteran Captain - Discard to get a command token of your choice

Defensive Retrofit: Advanced Projectors - lets you redirect damage to multiple hull zones

Offensive Retrofit: Point Defense Reroute - lets you reroll crits when attacking squadrons

Images of the cards would be nice, as well as literal texts. That way we can update the Wiki.

I already put the names revealed by Hedgehobbit in.

I'm at my office now and the light is terrible. I'll try to post photos as soon as I can. It looks like it'll just be a few.

Costs would be great too, sans the images.

I edited my original post to put in prices for the cards. You may not have noticed that.

If we still need to fill in anything, a local store claims to have armada in today.

I can grab an AF mk2 and a Neb and possible one more fighter expansion (whichever faction) and have time uploaded some 5 hours from now

I think this is all of the new cards
