Wave 9 Revealed!

By SmartCookie, in X-Wing

Is that a Veteran Instincts card I see on the Shadow Caster spread?

I see a PS 9 in the Fang and the Tie SF, some big named boppers in these packs.

The F/O also looks like agility 2, which is interesting

and finally, R3-A2 and Tactician on the ARC anybody? Or would you go for Rec Spec and R5-P9

These are neat

What I can make out so far...

Protectorate Starfighter:
3/3/4/0. PS 1, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9? Focus, Target Lock, Barrel Roll, Boost. There seems to be 6 pilots in this, a first for a Scum expansion. Tallon Roll reference card included.
ARC-170:
3?/1/6/3. PS 3, 4, 6, 7. Focus, Target Lock. Elite, Astromech, Crew and Torpedo upgrade on the PS 7 named pilot. Evade token shown, despite no Evade action. Has auxiliary arc.
Shadow Caster:
3?/2/7/3. PS 2?, 4, 6?, 7. Focus, Target Lock, Evade and new action. Mobile firing arc, whatever that is.
TIE/sf:
2?/2/3/3. PS 3, 5, 7, 9. Focus, Target Lock, Barrel Roll. Elite, ?, Missile, Tech upgrades on PS 8 or 9. Rear auxiliary arc. Can fire from front and auxiliary firing arcs in same turn?
I'm struggling to make out the upgrade icons, anyone else having any more luck with them?

Looks like 3 hull and 3 shields though?

I hope so much this is just the beginning of Prequels / Clone Wars era Ships!

Nice, TIE/SF! Fire at two targets! Rebels is pumping out a lot of large, seemingly powerful ships.

What's the typical wait time between this their appearance and on store shelves? The dreaded boat delay?

Yeah, it's as agile as a TIE bomber. I guess that sorta makes sense. Probably for role differentiation more than lore though.

The huge starbirds emblazoned in the wings disagree.

I don't have a problem with that but people will riot lol Not to mention FFG straight lied then when they said no way ever.

If the Tie/SF loses an agility for some extra hp that's interesting. Really wish there were better quality images for the new cards and pilots though!

Anyone else see something interesting about the arc 170 pilot cards?

ARC-170:
3/1/6/3. Focus, Target Lock. Elite, Astromech, Crew and one other upgrade on the PS 7 named pilot. Evade token shown, despite no Evade action. Maybe has auxilerary arc?

There's an Aux Firing Arc rule card in the top of the spread for the ARC-170 as well as the TIE/sf

Looks like a torpedo upgrade card for the ARC as well, so probably a torpedo upgrade icon in there.

Recon Specialist for one of the crew upgrade cards, ****, I already have three of those.

Why is there the USS Defiant from DS9 there with added side bits? :D

2 attack?

Not any better than a Y-wing without the TLT (one primary attack is still only 2 stress - at range 2 only)

Like the sound of r5-P9 on it though with rec spec. Considering it's only actions are focus target lock.

Supposed to be a heavy starfighter - maybe a cannon slot?

If Rebels are getting the Arc does that mean Imps will get Droid fighters?

This doesn't make much sense to me...Republic Navy became the Imperial Navy....

Too blurry for any detail but I think I see the unique dot on all of them so no generic?

I am certain FFG will have no choice but to present the 9th Wave very soon.

I still hope it is AFTER the news about Imperial Veterans released for shops because the delay is very annoying.

Looks like two tactical jammers and counter measures on the shadow caster

Yeah, not just me then!

Look at the bottom left pair of upgrade cards on the Arc 170 spread - is that a mod to give a barrel roll?

No generics. They get four ARCs throughout the entire Rebellion.

Edit: Nevermind
