It comes with TIEs!

Early 2016...so around next gencon then.

Hmm, is that assault carrier meant to be epic?

Since it isn't part of the wave, is in an epic sized box, uses an epic movement template,comes with energy, and is pretty large anyway I'm going to say yes.

It is Epic.

Wave 7.5

The phantom is tiny...

"Better" these are just the other images cropped. Did no one take a decent camera?

Great new Epic ship for the Empire!

Thanks for adding this picture! I'm hoping to see even more pics posted here of the new ships.

It's the Rebel Transport again for me. I really want the new TIE pilots and stuff it'll come with, not too bothered about the Gozanti itself.

FFG's anouncement was apparently packed, so getting a camera to hold still enough for even that quality as an achievement. Also, I've heard the quality of the projector left much to be desired.

No one has summarized yet. So:

Inquisitor's Tie- small ship, Empire

2/3/2/2

Boost/Barrel roll/Target Lock/Focus

Pilots are PS 2/4/6/8

PS8 pilot has 2 icons in the upgrade bar. We can safely assume that one is EPT. Other one... missile?

Mist hunter- small ship, Scum

3/1/4/4

TL/Evade/Focus

?/?/6/?

4 icons... unclear

Cloak Token!

Gozanti with 2x Ties - Epic (duh)

5 shields

5 energy tokens

120 degree forward firing arc (ish)

4 special pegs to mount 4 ties to it's belly

The rest is blurred

Punishing One - Large ship, Scum

??????

Ghost- Large w/ rebel Phantom thing- small

??????

Fill in the blanks, people!

If they hadn't just released the Raider at Gencon I'd totally make a joke about us getting a Gozanti BEFORE the Raider. Oh well. Looks nice!

If the Mist Hunter has a cloak token, shouldn't one of the three actions in the action bar be cloak (ala the TIE Phantom)? Unless its cloak is triggered by something other than taking an action.

We don't know. speculation so far is that it's either a title, modification, or ept.

Inquisitors tie is 2/3/2/2, focus, TL, BR, boost. Possibly missile.

So, what roll does this fulfill? Seems like it steps on a few toes in the ImperiL fleet.

Am I the only one asking "If they are gonna give us 2 new TIEs, couldn't at least ONE of them been Sabine's Repainted TIE?"

A boosty, appropriately costed tie advance? I have no idea, honestly

So - New TIE Pilots and upgrades for the fighter?

I bet we get more Mk2 engines in it. And then yeah some new pilots.

And as for Sabine's TIE, arn't these things still hand painted? If they are, yeah Sabine's TIE ain't happening. If it's automated, maybe it's a little too complex for their system?

No, because then the people who buy two Gozanti's have two supposedly unique TIEs. (Which is totally beside the fact that Sabine's should be Rebel.)

I'm afraid Sabine's custom TIE will have to be custom...

Yes you are now go sit in the corner and think where you went wrong with your life.

I am excited for the Mist Hunter and the Gozanti (and that's about it). But what about more Aces packs? I was really hoping for more unique pilots for the Rebel & Scum Y-Wings, Z-95s, E-Wings and Scyks. Defenders and TIE Bombers could use some more pilots too. Pretty much just about everything could go for some more pilots. Maybe they should just release "Pilot packs" of cards that have new pilots... a Rebel variant, a Scum variant, and an Imp variant. That way we can get some more pilots for YT-1300s, 2400s, Decimators, Aggressors, etc. without having to release those in Aces...
