This is what's currently traveling the internet as a leak form an Italian distributer.

So, the second from the bottom ... my Italian's not good ... what does that translate to?

I'm reading that as

ARC-170

TIE/FO SF

???

Shadow Caster

Madalorian Fang Fighter

My google-translate-fu says Space fighter of the proctectorate = space fighter of protector of Concord Dawn = Fang FIghter?

Thanks!

I wonder if the Shadow Caster would be multi-faction (scum/rebels)?

I can safely say I wouldn't buy ANY of that junk.

NEW TIE Spotted...

:D

Don't for get the new Rebel ship too...

Yeah that is the one we saw a year ago... the burnt spot on the beach with the blackened quad engine pipes. that was one of the first things ever shown as behind the scenes images.

;)

Dammit yes! You're right! Nice spot!

Looking forward to your U-Wing and TIE Striker artwork!

Seriously. That's all utter garbage to me. There isn't one ship I'd be interested in picking up in that list.

ARC-170? A prequel ship, released on it's own? Nah, I'll pass.

TIE/sf? I've already got fifteen or so ships which look almost exactly the same. I haven't even used my TIE/fo's, why would I want another one?

Mandalorian Fang Fighter? I'm mainly a scum player at the moment, but it simply doesn't appeal to me. And neither does the Shadow Caster (but then, I haven't watched Rebels).

There is nothing there that interests me, at all.

If it is in the game from FFG or from other sources including my own hands... IT SHALL have it's own Boss Emote !

I don't think I'd put any of these on my shelf to display as awesome looking ships from the Star Wars universe...

But I could say the same for many ships that have already been released ... not my cup of tea aesthetically

But I'm more than happy to play X-Wing with them, and enjoy the new flavour and abilities they bring to the game.

YUP!

:D

Meh. If this leak is correct, then this is probably the first Wave I'd skip in it's entirety.

Why You Did This ?!

It's called an opinion Joe. People do have them, ya know! ;)

Yeah... and normally yours don't STINK.

:o :huh: :lol: :P ;) :)

I don't get the negative opinions.

Tie SF is cool and will probably have cool mechanics.

Mandalorian Fang fighter is Mandalorian, so that in itself is pretty awesome :) . The ship looks fine.

Shadowcaster I'm distinctly meh about.

Arc 170 has an interesting look.

I'll be getting the first two for sure.

Only thing that concerns me is that some of these ships may do what existing ships already do, i.e. role overlap. ARC is like X-wing, Fang fighter is like Scyk or Starviper, depending on stats. Shadowcaster is yet another pancake. So I hope they are somehow substentially different instead of making their precursors, especially the underpowered ones, obsolete.

Edited by LesserEvil

I don't think it's real, it looks faked up to me, easy to make in excel.

I don't buy a prequel era ship suddenly appearing in the middle of a Wave with nothing else around it, and I don't buy that even the Wave 8 stuff is listed there as 'Coming Soon' which means this hot new list was supposedly around three months ago before Wave 8 appeared, and only now it's getting circulated?

Plus also I hope it's fake because if it's real it's a desperately unexciting Wave.

Well, the ARC will have a rear arc... which will be unique... :P

(sorry to bait the TIE/SF rear arc crowd)

ARC 170

TIE/FO sf

Shadowcaster

Where did you get that?

It looks fake to me - and considering how boring it would be, I hope it's fake.

Of those, sure the TIE/sf is a no-brainier. The other, ugh!

It's true... all of it.

No, I don't have insider info, just really wanted to use this quote

It's true... all of it.

from a given point of view

The ARC-170 could make sense - the Empire almost certainly used it in the first few years, and the Rebels are already known to have used Clone Wars-era ships such as the Y-Wing. Still, it seems strange to me.

I can safely say I wouldn't buy ANY of that junk.

They look. Almost exactly. THE SAME.

Italian bloke posted on X-Wing facebook forum. I just borrowed the image link.

The reason why wave 8 stuff is still pending on the list is it was translated, supposedly, from an Italian retailer, and they still don't have wave 8 over there.

I do not make any claim that this, however, makes the list any more or less viable.

IF the 4 ships there are heading to our beloved game, I would say this

ARC-170

Will almost certainly be one of my favorite models. FFG managed to make the K-wing look good so this ship should be amazing. I also expect this means that the ship will be making an appearance in Rebels next season. Rex as crew/pilot anyone? Not sure how much design space exists between the B and K wings for this ship.

Tie/SF

Another small base with a rear arc? Makes sense to me. My concern is the ship silhouette is too similar to two other existing ships. Mag pulse maybes?

Mando Fighter

Make the wings spin or go home FFG! Will Scum finally get a small-based ship that doesn't scyk?

Shadow Caster

Another large based Scum ship? Really?

Overall a wave that seems aimed more at my sons than all the old disgruntled former Warhammerers on the forums.
