Personally, I'm hoping for the H6 Scurrg. It'd make a good heavy bomber for Scum (which they don't have), and they could easily add a Havoc title allows you to not discard your bombs when you drop them. (In Jedi Starfighter, the Havoc had an experimental "proton bomblet generator" that regenerated bombs over time).
Edited by captainfreeman1What new scum ships do you hope to see in Wave 9 onwards?

This is Armada now and all the ships in the pack it came out with in Armada are in xwing. Pretty sure it will be out as well this year.
If they reissue a scum Falcon it needs to have a different look as well not just the square dish. Doesn't need to be wildly different but dirty more worn or something. I already have 2 YT-1300s don't need another just like them.
Well *I* only have one. If people are silly enough to buy the exact same thing, why not something that is actually different?
The cloakshape is probably near the top of the list in likelyhood. FFG has had some art with it for a while. Like op said, scurrg is in armada. The blastboat has popped up in ffg art a fair bit as well. I thought from the old tech manuals this would be an imperial ship, but I guess it can go either way and when it has shown up in the LCG, it seems to be closer to scum than empire. Dunelizard seems to be one people happen to mention often, but that probably doesn't mean too much.
Skipray was originally an Imperial design, but they didn't do much with it, and it ended up most famously in the hands of the fringe.
I'd make it the "heavy bomber" of the Scum faction. 4 hull 4 shields. Cannon, turret, missile, crew icons. Focus, Lock, Barrel Roll actions.
PS8 Mara Jade. Treat K turns as white manuever
PS6 Kenix Kil. Spend a target lock to change an eyeball into a crit.
PS4 and PS2 Generic.
That's not the heavy bomber of the scum faction... That's the Ghost of the scum faction, just miniaturized. And I am 100% okay with that. ![]()
CloakShape is number one for me (see my sig), followed by the Skipray. But the Scurrg is most likely.
Any and all of the Star Wars Galaxies privateer starfighters are the highest priority as far as I'm concerned. The dev team for that game went out of their way to make sure that the privateers would be on par with the Rebels and Imperials in terms of ships.
We already have the Scyk and the Kihraxz. I want to see the Kimogila, Dunelizard, Krayt, Ixiyen, Rihkxyrk and Vaksai.
Also, really want the YT-2000 and Pursuer-class.
We aren't going to see the entire range of Galaxies ships. Too much overlap in roles, especially when added to fighters from other sources. The independent fighters were basically in two parallel tracks, with the Black Sun ships and Hutt ships as two parallel design lineages that otherwise shared a lot in terms or performance.
Vaksai is just a modified Kihraxz. Actually, it was part of the same quest that gave Imperial pilots the Royal Guard interceptor, so if they get around to it, they could make it a title for the Kihraxz that gives it an extra shield and missile slot.
Rihkxyrk would be a cool heavy bomber-role craft, and it shares a spaceframe with the Ixiyen, but I think the Skipray blastboat would fill the role far better, and more iconicly, with Mara, Aves, and Kenix Kil as pilots.
YT-2000 would be nice, but at the least I'd be happy if a TFA version of the Falcon added scum dials and Aeron Azzameen and a Sabra title.
Pursuer, decent, but would be Boba Fett in another big ship. I'd rather the Pulsar Skate, with Mirax and Booster (unless they make it a Rebel large)
It's actually possible for FFG to have most of the Galaxies ships come as upgrades as well so not to clutter up release, although I'd much prefer new sculpts
.
The G1-M4-C Dunelizard is a M3-A Scyk with a long conical nose and an enlongated cockpit.
The M12-L Kimogila & M22-T Kryat look almost identical, the former has more forward firepower, the latter a turret.
The Vaksai is stated to be an upgraded Khiraxz and look very similar, may add actions, maybe boost and more seconary weapons options.
The Rihkxyrk is a Ixiyen with more forward armor plates, is slower and has much more armor. In Galaxies it seems this was a flying tank.
My money is on a small base ship, seeing as Rebels/Scum and Empire now all have three large based ships. Scum and Imperial's share one, mind you, but it still counts.
scum could be a good way to get some clone wars ships in as old military surplus that have found its way into disreputable hands. Should consider those, as well.
Actually my money is on more large ships - in 3 waves scum has overtaken Imperial/Rebels in the number of large ships they can field. Note in the list of possible starfighters, many happen to be borderline large or definately large. I've not listed anything in the patrol boat / scout craft / light frieghter classes (except the Blastboat and M22-T Kryat which can be considered patrol boats / gunships). Large combat ships seem to be Scum's "thing" (among others), small ships are mostly gimmicky except for the Vaksai (an upgraded Khiraxz is going to be powerful).
Note the Skipray Blastboat and the T-Wing in lore are Imperial and Rebel ships respectively - but both saw much more use among the Scum.
My personal hope is for the Drexl or Dunelizard - a third astromech ship would bring Scum closer in line with Rebels (X-Wing, Y-Wing, T-70 X-wing, E-Wing) vs (JumpMaster 500, Y-Wing, +1 more). The CloakShape may be fun
