I'd prefer them to wait for a bit! The game is still fresh and I am struggling to catch up as it is!
Wave 9 Preview?
Since a few people have pointed out that Scum Veterans seems likely, what would people actually want to see in that box?
Scum still don't have "Aces"! Though seems likely they'll eventually get a box in the Ace/Veteran sort of way.
And I think it's been universally agreed upon that it'll be Scyks and StarVipers. Both "Scum Only" ships, Scyk could use a little loving, and the StarViper really wants more toys to play with (though personally I find the Viper to be just fine to throw on the board).
I've always thought that the Most Wanted set was the Scum Aces set. It included three ship miniatures, boosts for the Y-Wing, and additionally provided pilots for the HWK-290 and Firespray. Sure, it was necessary to help Scum catch up quickly, but it was effectively an Aces set on steroids.

Nah, that was just the core set for Scum.

I dunno about universally agreed. It seems extremely likely that we'll get the Scyks with the Star Jewel (which is pretty much a grand slam since SAIL BARGE IN SPACE plus Jabba crew makes a lot of sense as far as "iconic" huge ships go).
You mean a slam dunk I assume?
And even then, I still maintain an Action Transport would make more sense.

I agree, Star Jewel is not very well known and it thematically limits the expansion to the Hutt Cartel, while Action IV was used by literally every crime organization, including Talon Karrde's and Tyber Zann's little businesses
You guys realize that Scum is almost certainly going to be getting two epics like the other factions, right? We'll probably be getting both.
Also Star Jewel will probably come with a Z-95, because that's what it carries canonically, and will likely allow you to deploy them like the gozanti.
CR-90 was shown canonically to have a docking bay witn room to spare for a starfighter, just because a ship can carry, doesn't mean it will carry (or vice versa, see Transport and Raider).
Sizewise, the Action Transport and Star Jewel are in the same category.
When did the Star Jewel become canon by the way? The Action Transport is, but the Star Jewel?
New rule:
Anyone who asks for the preview of the wave after next before the next wave is even out yet, "mysteriously disappears".
Also, wave 9: TIE Avenger and Assault Gunboat.
Edited by ParaGoomba SlayerThere's a chance there will be a reveal at Origins followed by one at GenCon
EMPIRE: I think Kylo Ren's Upsilon Shuttle is a possibility. We can get Kylo the pilot and crew card. Maybe a Captain Phasma crew as well?
EMPIRE: Arc 170 starfighter - With TIE fighters, not sure where this will fit in. Maybe something similar to an Xwing with a 3-2-3-2 statline.
SCUM: Auzituck gunship. Get some more wookie pilots in the game! Missiles, Cannons, Torpedoes. Could be a 2-2-6-1 or something with two crew slots.
REBELS V-Wing: Scyk like for the Rebels? 2-3-2-1 with a barrel roll for 14pt range.
SCUM: Shadow Caster - not sure if scum wants another large ship but Star Wars Rebels show is going strong right now. Maybe save this for wave 10
REBELS: Kasmiri - Cool looking ship from Kanaan comics with cool pilots. Maybe too new, save for Wave 10.

I would love it if the Scum Aces included a Star Viper. With an MSRP of US$20 I'm weary that we don't get that ship in an aces pack. Those 2 ships are in the greatest need of a fix. I'm guessing pairing the Viper with the Scyk would be the cheapest for FFG given the disparity of material costs and such.
2 scum ships.
More Force awakens ships
TIE sf with rear arc.
Leia's transport.
Captain Phasma crew upgrade - at the start of the first turn, remove all your shield tokens for no reason whatsoever.
I think the SV in an aces pack is a given - the scyk in an aces pack is far more likely than a fix in an epic box. However I do think that we'll be seeing 2 scum Epics by sometime mid of next year.
For the other factions, Imperial Vets has already been announced. Of the remaining ships that have not been updated from waves 1-5 are:
W2: Firespray 31 (received a single new title in MW) (SV/Imp)
W3: HWK-290 (SV/Reb)
W3: Lambda-class shuttle (Imp)
W4: E-Wing (Reb)
W4: Z-95 Headhunter (SV/Reb)
W4: TIE Phantom (Imp)
W5: VT-49 Decimator (Imp)
W5: YT-2400 (Reb)
If I had to guess the Reb Vets, I'd say we'll see X & E-Wings. In huge packs we'll likely see a Z-95 (possibly the commander variant which packs an Ion cannon at expense of the missiles).

Either way is fine... Action VI is a better candidate for the Scum transport due to its relative size. The Jewel has a significant movie connection that the Karrde doesn't (not talking about it appearing in the film, but the sail barge is definitely well known by its lines).
