I fear that "Fly Casual" article was a desperate attempt to put something up that resembled X-wing news... because FFG has nothing to report to us right now.
I'm starting to lean in this direction too. Remember Armada's wave for this year? 2 tiny ships. We've already have 4 ships announced. Maybe they're pushing the 4 unannounced product codes assumed to be wave 9 to next year because we didn't fly casual enough to earn them.
