Rebel Y-Wing Aces (2 Y-Wings in the box) with bomb options, additional astromechs, and elite talent slots.
Y-Wings don't have any bomb slots to put bombs in.
Bomb loadout card found in scum and villainy says otherwise.
I'm Calling It: Waves 8 and 9, Scum and Villainy Aces and Huge Ship
Oh. Neat. Hadn't seen that.
I would love to see the Scurrg in the game. It would also create an interesting opportunity for the Havoc title. Since you could exchange the crewmembers for astromechs the title could give you the opportunity to choose either Crew or Mech for your 2 slots.
I want more Scum & Villainy too! Wave 7 can't get here fast enough.
Other than wanting a droid starfighter, some “Clone Wars” spacecraft or ANY new Episode 7 ships- I'm craving for a 'Huge Ship' for Scum & Villainy- to even out the playing field for Epic gaming. Also, if there is a God , FFG will put out a VCX-100 Frieghter/Ghost with Auxillary Fighter (I'm sure they can tweak the scale to make it a 'Large Ship') and I will definitely rejoice if, EVER, there is a consideration that the Gozanti Cruiser/Imperial Frieghter will make it to the playmat someday.
But what I really want from FFG is a “Most Wanted 2/Aces" Expansion Pack with a bunch of Illicit Upgrades and a couple new ships- plus some gear to repurpose ships from previous E.P.'s. At least 1 Imperial (Lambda Shuttle, Defender) and 1 Rebel (YT-2400,YT-1300) should be included. Even ship inserts, pilots, upgrades for the Rebel Transport would be a great addition- with a Cannon Upgrade (point exchange thingy maybe?) Title card that allows the GR-75 to have some type of weapon.
I'm getting the Raider, but I really want to focus ALL on Scum & Villainy now.
I would hope for Skipray Blastboats or Preybirds, (either could probably work for both scum and empire) but I am drawing a blank on potential rebel craft until waaaaay further along the EU timeline than we currently are.
YT-2000, Assault Gunboat and T-70 Xwing
Rebel Y-Wing Aces (2 Y-Wings in the box) with bomb options, additional astromechs, and elite talent slots.
With a single copy of reprinted Horton Salm with EPT slot.
I think it will be a while before we see Episode 7 ships. Its not like the designers at FFG get to see advanced copies of the movie or anything. They'll have to see the movie, come up with the design, playtest it and then finally release it 12-18 months after the film hits theatres. I think Alex Davy said they operate on an 18 month release schedule.
I'd be very bloody surprised if Disney didn't want licensed merchandise for the new film available as near as possible to the film's release. As a result, I'd be very bloody surprised if FFG aren't working on Episode 7 ships right the hell now.
Wave 8 or 9 must have the Clawcraft, and no boats, or I will not be amused.

Be not amused. Be afraid!
Besides Nym and a Feeorin pirate pilot card can you name any that would make such an expansion viable?Do they need multiple pilots in Armada? I doubt it will exist in X-wing just because it was made for Armada.The Jumpmaster 5000 is so obvious you're not really going out on a limb or anything, if FFG wants to do OT ships they will do the Jumpmaster 5000.You've got the obvious half right anyway.
Given that your idea of "mathematical analysis" is connecting ten points on a graph then extending that line to infinity, I'm not sure it behooves you to get patronising about how anybody does predictions.
I will say, looking at the rogues pack for Ramada, the Jumpmaster and Scurgg are the only two ships that are in it that haven't crossed over to x-wing. So I think those are pretty safe bets.
For a huge ship? For me, it's the Wild Karrde; I'm picturing something like a scrum version of the GR-75 but with more enemy rebuff abilities and a few modest firing arc attacks.
Clawcraft are a long way off. They don't show up until 20 years after RotJ. I expect to see a lot of other ships make appearances before them.
You all, remember that waves are not Aces packs and huge ships...
These threads are getting to be as bad as "fix" threads...

How many named pilots existed for the Phantom that weren't made up whole-cloth?
Speaking of the large ship, the Interceptor-class frigate is just about in that 150 meter sweet spot, and imo, the most likely candidate.
That's a cool looking ship and definitely meets the sweet spot size-wise. Don't hold your breath waiting for a Scum huge ship though... we're still waiting on the Imperial one...

OMG how many times do I have to state it: CLAWCRAFT EXISTED AS EARLY AS ROTJ!!! THEY WERE CREATED BY CHISS TECHNICIANS WORKING IN CONJUCTION WITH THE EMPIRE
seriously guys, look up the ship before you make stupid excuses for it to not be in the game. And even if that isn't enough, it appears in 18 ABY 1 year before the K-wing!

Meh. I'd still prefer this bad boy:
Regarding Episode VII stuff, at Star Wars Celbration VII, during the FFG presentation, the first thing Steve Horvath said was, something along the lines of, "Yes, we are working on games for Episode VII. No, I'm not going to talk about that today. So don't ask."
I got the impression -- though it is just an impression -- that they have already begun development on Episode VII games. Whether that includes X-Wing expansions, who knows? But at the very least, I do expect to see a "The Force Awakens" game of some sort come out around the time of the movie release.
Yeah, Assault gunboat should come before.... anything else actually.
Sod it, Rebels can have a heavy Y-wing with 4 nacelles. (Their equiv of the Eggbox).

Isn't the Battle of Dornik-319 the first appearance of the K-Wing? ABY 16. Still, close enough not to matter.

Y stop at 4?
Oh God remove it from my sight, it looks awful!
