I've seen lots of people posting about this recently, so I just wanted to ask if this was a leaked thing, or if it's just an assumption based on the duplicate unspoiled cards in the article.

IIRC it was mentioned in the GenCon "In-Flight Report" where Wave 8 was first announced.

Yea it was an announcement, not a rumor.

I think it was in the article somewhere.

Rumor has it this was in an announcement or article somewhere.

I will see what my cat "bat man" has heard... although he is kind of grumpy right now since he is going on the Catkins diet.. Vet said he was FAT..lol big shocker.. no not really...

It was stated in the wave 8 announcement article that was posted during gencon.

"What is there in Wave VIII that's worth getting excited about? How about thermal detonators, tractor beams, illicit cloaking devices, new systems upgrades, and zero-cost elite pilot talents? Plus, there's more than a dozen unique pilots, crew members, and ship titles with a rich variety of thematic abilities to make this one of the most flavorful waves of X-Wing yet!"

0 point EPT doesn't make it an auto include, remember that the EPT slot is highly contested by a few high-power EPT, if a low power EPT comes along I doubt you will be seeing much of it. most people have their pilots with their EPTs selected if they are not running an EPT-less generic.

Has to compete with some great 1pt epts like the trust Vi, lighning reflexes and personnel fav crackshot
