FFG's plan for the future of X-wing :

SWX53: Rebel Veterans Heroes of Endor Pack

- Falcon with no Radar, new incredible repaint with sightly more burning traces on it

- Lando with PS 8

- Arvel Crynyd's A-wing with a new ability : "When you move and overlap an other ship, you can choose to destroy both ships".

SWX54: Rebel Veterans Heroes of Hoth Pack

- Falcon repaint with a mynock attached to it

- New Falcon upgrade card : "Hyperdrive malfunction"

SWX55: Rebel Veterans Heroes of the Kessel Run Pack

- Falcon repaint, looks almost brand new

- "young" Han and Chewie pilot cards for the YT 1300

- New YT-1300 title "Transporter : add one Cargo slot to that ship" and new cargo card "Spice"

- New Falcon upgrade card : "Jettison your cargo : delete your cargo card and do a boost action"

SWX56: Rebel Veterans Heroes of Disney TV channel Pack

- Ridiculous TIE fighter repaint with pink girly mandalorian pilot

- B-wing superlaser

- PS 0 generic A-wing pilots

Have to admit, I LOL'ed pretty hard at this.

ASSAULT GUNBOAT (IMPS)

T-wing (Rebs)

V-wing, R-41 (scums)

Chances of this prediction coming true for even one of these ships 0.0000000001%

Chances of this prediction coming true for even one of these ships 0.0000000001%

Never tell me the odds.

Since we're on the subject of gaps.

Let's talk Wave 9 predictions :

Yeah, definitely do that here instead of in that thread you linked that's specifically for that...

Was thinking exactly that too but thought it was better to not post it with all the square-dish/rey fanboys around..

Didn't think further ahead than that part though..

SWX57: Heroes of the Resistance Expansion Pack

Parden the use of a real image, rather than a nice Boss Emote (that so many of you enjoy)... but I do not own a version of the Rebel Transport... yet.

I'd be happy to see the TIE/sf, especially as that will bring the First Order closer to being an interesting faction without buying borrowing from the Empire. For the same reason, I'd like the Upsilon, though it will have a pretty impressive wing span, possibly inhibiting its usefulness in game. The Resistance will have two ships by the end of the year, and is like to see the First Order on par with them.

Otherwise, given its appearance in Armada, the H-6 seems likely.

The transports, either Resistance or First Order, seem like they'd be of limited use, mostly ways to carry support crew around, such as our currently available guys like Kanan, or maybe they'd give General Organa and Admiral Ackbar good squadron support abilities. (Basically, Palpatine style crew that helps the rest of the squadron.)

If only to prevent rioting among Imperial loyalists, they really should put out the Gunboat, so that we can move on to complain about it being over/under powered.

And, yes, let's see a Wookie ship!

The T-70 and TIE/FO were announced and released separately. That is true.

But they are technically part of Wave 8.

All six X-Wing™ Wave VIII starship expansions

All blister expansion packs have always been part of a wave.

All repaints have never been part of a wave.

A large cardboard expansion pack can be part of a wave or not a wave.

Should we call non-Wave releases a "Trough?" I think that's what the area between waves are called.

Technically no but officially yes.

Waves do have new ships with the exception of Wave 6 as the repaints and conversion of two ships were part of the new faction. However ScumZie-95 and Scum-Ying do build diffrently than a Rebel Y-wing and Z-95 headhunter so you could call them new ships.

However I think Heroes does fit the category of special release (Aces, Veterans, Huge ships). In Heroes there is a repaints T-70 (which is not new) and a Resistance Falcon (which is part of the Rebel Primary Faction so again nothing new).
