I heard they're making a new core set focusing on Epic play. It'll include two TIE Fighters, an X-Wing, a Gozanti cruiser, and a Rebel Transport. It'll also include all the dials, templates, cards, damage decks, and tokens necessary to play. No dice are included, however- you have to buy the extra dice box separately.

I have seen the leaked photos of this--it looks like it even comes with a special ball of poster putty for sticking target lock and ficus tokens to the ship bases! They thought of everything! Except the extra dice, of course.

ficus tokens

Yet another new release! They got so tired of printing little green eyeball tokens that they genetically engineered a miniature tree that will grow them as fruit. From now on, both players will be required to bring their bonsai ficus token trees to the table with them.

Next game night kit prizes includes acryllic 'stop' templates.

New upgrades coming in Wave 2001:

HAL-9000 (System/2p/Unique): At the beginning of the Activation Phase, randomly discard a crew from a random ship in play (yours or your opponents). Your squad must contain at least two crew upgrades.

Monolith (Cargo/3p): Any ship that overlaps the ship this is on is not destroyed/damaged as normal. Instead, the dial is randomly set each turn for the remainder of the game.

Dr. Bowman (Crew/2p): Action: Discard a System upgrade from this ship. If you do, equip the Monolith cargo.

Huge Ship

Discovery One (PS1/70 points)

0 Attack, 1 Agility, 7 Hull, 4 Shields

Crew x5, System x2, Cargo x3

Infinite Improbability Drive:

Instead of setting your own maneuver dial, the nearest nongamer sets it for you, without looking at the board.

I actually would like trying that at some point...

...a hyper wave beacon that will summon space whales to eat enemy ships if you roll a crit and that's what the new upgrade type is.

Were these whales very recently flowerpots instead? I hear that usually turns out poorly.

I think you mean were they very recently thermonuclear missiles.

I do, of course. I'm going to go shred my geek card and hide my face in shame, now.

Don't worry Panic. You have your towel at hand, right?

Fixed that for ya.

Upcoming is a re-release several expansion, including a new updated Tycho card that already has Push the Limited and stress tokens printed on it so you don't have to assign them to him during the match, Soontir Fel also with a pre-printed PtL card, and Corran with R2-D2 already printed on his pilot card.

New stress and focus tokens are on the way! Now, instead of making a massive pile of tokens, simply place a new multiple focus/stress token denoting 3, 5, or 10 of focus/stress respectively on the ship when if gains that amount of focus/stress! No more worries when using stresshogs, Tycho, and Moldy Crow!

... actually, that last sounds rather useful now that I think about my last game using Tycho...

I had a vision of a small ship with astromech, torpedo and bomb upgrade slots. It can swap the bomb for a 2nd torpedo.

Oh, wait.

My uncle's nephew on the wife's side's former cellmate who works as a janitor at FFG told me that the antenna thingies on the First Order TIE are actually a hyper wave beacon that will summon space whales to eat enemy ships if you roll a crit and that's what the new upgrade type is.

You don't mean the Oswaft, do you? (You realize that Star Wars already has space whales that jump through hyperspace, right?)

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Oswaft

OF COURSE they would be in this new faction.

That...That was the stupidest thing I have ever read. Not what you write but the summary on the wiki. It read like someone's awful fan fiction. I think I'm going to change my view and side with the "EU needed to go" crowd.

The Lando Calrissian Adventures are basically bad generic pulp sci-fi with a Star Wars veneer, and they do all kinds of alternately boring and weird things that were never brought up again. The most amazing thing about the trilogy is that I once tried to read another of the author's novels (that is, his non-Star-Wars work) and it actually manages to be worse.

Some of the Marvel Star Wars comics from the late '70s and early '80s are nearly as bad. Check out the Lepi, or the history of (yes, really) Don Wan Kihotay.

I hear that wave 9 will feature a 1969 Buick Electra, with missile and crew slots.

Also appearing in Wave 9: the Snowspeeder, which may only be used on atmospheric mats, and is immediately removed from play if the mat is space-based, and your opponent only fields space-worthy vehicles.

Sounds overpowered to me.

Now everyone will run snowspeeder lists and completely ruin the meta.

Secretly I wish for Snowspeeders and AT-ATs for a Hoth expansion. Doesn't need to be a new game. Just an "Atmospheric Play" expansion.

Personally, I'm looking forward to the ET Senator crew card that's suppose to be coming with the release of the Senator's Shuttle expansion.

Action: You may remove one damage card from a friendly ship.

"Ouuuuuuch!"

The goal for the Rebels in the mission included with the Senator's Shuttle is to simply get the ET off the table so he can go "Hoooome".

They announced this a while back right?

There might be an upgrade coming that adds an Infinite Improbability Drive to your ship.

My eight year old son plays with me sometimes, so we already play with this upgrade. Also, Never give them bombs, EVER!

Tie-Y Variant Officially Announced !!!

Y-Tie sounds like a drink, not a fighter. Though you would have to be drunk to fly the thing

Sorry - I edited the post to correctly identify that ship as the Tie-Y. Here is a picture of the actual Y-Tie.

Hopefully it will be out by Wave 10.

I heard they're going to make this:

haha just kidding how silly would that be.

Don't hate me

I again will bring this up. This game will not be complete until a wave contains the illustrious Towani Starcrusier!

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Towani_starcruiser

Attack 0

Evade 0

Hull 1

Shields 0

Movement Dial - all reds except the one straight which is white. No greens.

Can support 4 crew.

Why this would be the best addition to the game ever?

1. It would introduce both Wicket and Cindel as crew making it possible to fly with a little girl and her ewok friend for the first time!

2. It would make the HWK look like a super effective ship

Corellian Escape Pod

Attack 0, Evade 1, Hull 1, Shield 0

Special ability is that the Escape Pod has 2 crew slots that if at least one slot is occupied by Droids such as K4 Security Droid, C3PO or R2D2, it cannot be targeted by Imperial pilots...

Elite Pilot Card would be Jeremitt Towani:

"When passing within Range 1 of an obstacle, your ship immediately becomes placed on top of that obstacle and you may not select a maneuver during the next round."

They will have a Lepi Squadron Pilot in an X-wing, because it is a bunny it can barrell roll!

FFG is out of ideas so next few waves are going to collaborations with other game companies.

Wave 9 via Wizards of the Coast introduces Jedi, Mana, and "tapping" secondary weapons instead of discarding.

Wave 10 via Nintendo introduces ship types. "Your cluster missiles are super-effective!"
