[WAVE 8] What We Know (and how we know it)

By Tipperary, in X-Wing

Cool

Attack Shuttle has sensor. Don't think ghost does.

What evidence suggests the Attack Shuttle has a sensor slot? I can't find anything.

My guess is that "Overc... Agr..." is another salvaged astromech - some kind of Agromech.

please oh please be overconfident aggromech, which disables crew cards

"your overconfidence is your weakness"

" your faith in your friends is yours!"

4 green straight + system + 2ndary turret + 2 bombs? What's the advanced proton torps for?

What a bizarro wave we'll eventually live in

The swt slot especially confuses me on a 4 dice primary ship. Maybe the new one it's coming with...

The system slot is, as always, just ripe for shenanigans

Pass the QQ Sauce please, my Soontir Fel burrito needs a little spice! Thanks!

Anyway, I also agree that this is a very cool wave, with all the Rebels stuff, but to be honest, unlike previous waves... I'm just not seeing anything I want more than one of... Anyone see anything where multiples would be worth getting yet?

I can see myself getting multiple TIE Advanced V1's...

An I can also see myself getting multiple Gozanti's for the blue TIE models...

You could just have some ties repainted lol....

What text are you talking about?

The text about the Attack Shuttle says:

"It's accompanied by its attack shuttle, which is, itself, a lethal, small-base starship with an attack value of three. With its forward laser cannons, turret, and crew slot, the attack shuttle can easily make a valuable contribution to any Rebel squad."

I can't get anything out of that to suggest a Sensors slot, nor can I find anything else in the article that gives that impression.

Guess they fixed the article when the site was down or something.

The PS4 TIE is likely "Baron of the Empire." PS4 with an EPT slot?

I can see myself getting multiple Gozantis and Tie Prototypes so that I can chase Hera and Kannan off Lothal.

Pew Pew Pew!

The picture of the Gozanti...

Those are tiny plastic hooks to attach TIEs physically to the model, yes?

Or, really, any other small based ship.

Is it my imagination, or does the Assault Shuttle seem to be the only ship will 100% unique pilots?

If this feels like Christmas, it's because it will be out by Christmas,

Of 2016.

Maybe.

Whoops, nm.

The other two Jumpmaster 5000 Pilots will be Tel Trevura and Manaroo .

Already sniped on that.

Yep, too slow! ;) Attani Mind Link looks interesting - something to do with each ship using the EPT getting a focus token any time anyone else with the EPT is assigned one (unless they already have one) I think, though I'm not sure exactly how it will be worded.

What explanation did they offer for not having the models for wave 8 painted? The more I think about it the worse that actually seems. GenCon is IT. The big reveal in front of the biggest audience, they had what 6 months or more to get a couple models painted and.... they couldn't?

Whats up with this? :( :o

The explanation that I don't want is they have the factories too busy churning out Episode VII tripe to have Wave 8 near-ready yet.

Yea the article changed. I read it on my work desktop and it said attack shuttle had sensors at about 4:45 yesterday. Now changed.

The explanation that I don't want is they have the factories too busy churning out Episode VII tripe to have Wave 8 near-ready yet.

I won't know till we see the whole thing on YouTube proper, but I understand the talk involved mention that Episode VII stuff is already on the boats ... they're just not allowed to talk about it.

So yeah, it's coming... and I betcha it's coming with the X-wing fix built in all quiet like. Sans forewarned spoilers, just for a change. ;)

Hera's ability I believe reads that when you perform a green or red maneuver you can rotate your dial to a different maneuver of the same difficulty. Something similar to that but I'm not totally sure.

Agreed. Looks exactly like

When you reveal a green or red

maneuver, you may rotate your

dial to another maneuver

of the same difficulty.

Zuckuss is

...may

...stress

...equal

I'm guessing the "Dual Upgrade" card has something to do with the Mist Hunter title forcing you to take a Tractor Beam.

The unknown reference card definitely says something about "an ion token".
