Why is Wave 8 ships still "In Development"?

By ramy, in X-Wing

I have just never seen any ships listed as in development for this long.

You must not play Armada. Their second wave was in development for ages.

IIRC, the Raider was also in development for a very long time.

Maybe they found an imbalance in the testing that they want to get just right?

and told us all that they would be arriving before Christmas!

They never really said that. They said they'd like to have it out yet this year, but it may be next year.

There was never a promise made really, He was quite clear that they had a goal they were shooting for but might not make it.

FFG has decided they hate capitalism, cancelled the game, and retired to a small sustainable agriculture community in the southern Pacific.

Spoiler: they still develop and play the game, but they don't sell it. If you want Waves 8 and 9, you need to travel to their island and have some goats to barter.

Really expecting 3 items. Gozanti, mainly because it has been listed so long. the T70 because the mini is already done, so saving design time on the mini, so we are looking at a shorter development time. same with the Tie/FO (snip)

I they've never split a Wave like that before, and they would not have added the T-70 and TIE/FO to Wave 8 only to release them separately. So I'd expect those 2 ships to release when the rest do.

Having said all that: I very much hope the Gozanti arrives by Christmas.
