What will be announced this Christmas season?

By TasteTheRainbow, in X-Wing

GUNBOAT!

Actually I would doubt we will get any more news on anything besides a couple of TFA ships after the premiere. With tons of stuff to spoil for wave 8 and the gozanti and the T-70/fo expansions that's a lot. A LOT. Any more and our heads will asplode.

Well I don't know about you but my head asploded long looooong ago due to all the awesome stuff that FFG keeps putting out.

I just can't keep up anymore

We loves it, we hates it, my precious!!!

Last year it was the Raider in the middle of wave 6 spoilers.

This year scum epic?

Wave 9 with more episode 7 ships?

Place your bets!

Money on Fatty episode 7 B's, Kylo shuttle and SF ties. Plus some scum nonsense.

I don't think we will see anything new announced until some of the up an coming releases hit the shelves.

What I would like to see is more scum "nonsense" as you put it.

I really want to have a Skipray in my scum fleet

Scum epic with Scyk escort.

Kylo Shuttle with special Forces Tie escort pack to match Ghost pack.

I like this a lot.

Though Rebels will need something too. Nu B-Wing? Falcon update kit? Something crazy like a prequel ship or the Stealth X-Wing?

Have we ever really had official size on Kylo's shuttle? There was some speculation that it was solidly in epic territory.

Probably won't see a hard number until the 18th when the cross-section book comes out, but based on external details it's at least as tall as the Decimator is long.

Though to be fair (and for what it's worth), all the existing toys I've seen of it let the wings retract.

Hoth starter set with 1 AT-AT and 2 Snow Speeders. Rules for atmospheric battles.

General Veers

Wedge pilot card

Jenson crew card

Luke pilot card

Dak crew card

Zev Senesca pilot card

Hobbie pilot card

Rogue Squadron Pilot

(Some of the pilots/crew could be in expansions)

Future AT-AT and Snow Speeder expansions

Other expansions for the game:

AT-ST

Rebel Turrets

Snowtrooper bases

Echo Base trooper bases

(Troops are probably going to be squad size of about 9 1/270 models arranged 3x3 on square bases)

Doubt it.

But if we keep mentioning it FFG might take a hint :)

Ground battles is the only part of star wars not covered by FFG

Though to be fair (and for what it's worth), all the existing toys I've seen of it let the wings retract.

That sort of mechanism is a lot trickier on painted minis like this, eventually you'd scrape the paint off the wings. Couple that with the film stills showing the wings hinge out (which is its worst angle, really), and it's a tossup as to whether they're actually supposed to retract or it's just a toy thing.

If FFG was smarter, theyd have the T-70 and FO out by the 18th, and the rest out before Christmas...to capitalize on Christmas and movie sales.

As for what will come out in a prevew, hmm maybe a Season 2of Rebels ship tie in, of some sort, (maybe different crew /pilots for ships) but I highly doubt that. An Epicscum ship or something else from Episode 7 is what is most logical. maybe an Epic Episode 7 craft.

Seems like they're at least trying to expedite the T-70 and TIE/fo expansions. Those two are already on the boat. The rest of Wave VIII still shows as at the printer.

No doubt we see T-70 and FO for movie release. Rest will be next year. Probably February.

The Star Jewel came with a compliment of 6 Z-95 escorts, though.

If the Epic ship comes with a serious fix for Scyks... I've already got three of them because I thought they looked cool.

The title really should have been free, or increased hull by one, or decreased the cost of an equipped upgrade by 2.

Or they should have come with a new symbol that means (1 of any secondary weapon) and put those on the Scyks.

Fantasy Flight Games, you may need to actually change the printed ship cards for this one!

If the Epic SCUM ship comes with a serious fix for Scyks...

A small based imperial ship with a turret upgrade would be nice.

You mean the TIE Special Forces? Oh...the TIE Aggressor. I see. Hmmm...

Maybe both?

Twelve days until Star Wars. Then another twelve to Christmas. It's like a buy-one-get-two holiday replay! :lol:

TIE Avenger and Assault Gunboat will be.

All I want for Christmas... is you-oooooooou

xg1-christmas_zpspeprbpky.jpg

My Christmas list...

Make X-wings competitive.

Give the elite slot to all of those Imperial Aces who didn't get one. (They need PTL)

Fix the Tie Defender. (Too expensive)

Give Scum Boba Fett a better ability.

Make bombs/torpedos/missles worth bringing...some times. The "fix" shouldn't make these a must have.

If they made those changes in addition to the announced ships coming down the pipe I would be happy if they stopped all future game development. Partly because I think they game is very developed as is and it is in a healthy state. I've only seen games crash and burn after the creators try to do too much with it.

The best gift this holiday season is turning off the fire hose.

Get out. Just get out now. Stuff like that caused the great drought of October - November. If you need assistance not looking at new material I'll glady disconnect your modem. :D
