Love that Rogue One Olympic trailer..predicting 1-3 new ships to be added to Wave 10 in december.

By Sciencius, in X-Wing

...so betting on 1-3 of the following ships comming to X-wing in december and added to wave 10:

U-wing expansion (rebel, large base ship) with Jyn Erso, Cassian pilots and K-2SO crew and perhaps other 1-2 pt rebel crew, which are going to be OP. Stats like an imperial shuttle with 2 crew slots, systems, and perhaps boost, the U-wing looks kinda like a fast ship?

Tie Striker (imperial, small ship) stats like a T-65 xwing, but perhaps the first small ship with an additional mobile firing arc, as the tie striker is rumored to have a turret. Perhaps a crew slot and systems slot also.

Scurrgh H6 (scum, large ship) Not seen in the trailers, but the ship is from that area and in Armada. Statswise should be somewhat similar to a K-wing but with a 3 dice normal in arc primary, but still with a turret upgrade slot, 1 crew and native slam. Perhaps comming with a new modification that finally lets you drop a bomb, before executing the SLAM maneuver. I still cannot forget that K-wing preview.


Disclaimer: these are all guesses that I think would make sense and that I would love to see in the game. If you do not like this post, or dislike predicitions about future ships comming to X-wing, please feel free to ignore this post and go write somewhere else. If you do like this post, or simply disagree with my prediction, please feel free to post your own suggestions in this thread as I would love to hear what you are thinking. Have a very nice day.

The first two ships are a given. You're just wish listing with the third.

I am absolutely wish listing with the third. As I said in my disclaimer, this is what I predict and would love to see in the game.

I'm guessing The striker in Wave 10, U-Wing and others in 11.

First two obvious. Last one... sure. Maybe.

I'd put my money on large, 4 die primary if and when it shows up, though - not least because that would mean all the factions get a 4die large base ship.

I gues we can assume that the U-Wing (large base) the new imperial shuttle (large base) and Tie Striker (small base) will all find their way into X-Wing.

We might even get a X-Wing + 2 Tie Striker starter that will give us the X-Wing fix we all have been waiting for.

They would not have to create a new X-Wing sku since it is already available. Tie Striker would need a seperate sku tho.

I could see this being added to Wave 10.

The new two large bases could be added to Wave 11.

New ships from a Star Wars movie? That's crazy talk.

Did anyone see those X-wings flying through a canyon?! The missing SKU could be our elusive T-65 set for Force Friday!

Maybe not, but I can dream, right?

theres also that shuttle ship with the 4 folding wings that blew up like 3-4 times in the trailer.

No idea what it is, dont even think we had a good shot of it, but it doesnt look familiar at all.

Which we all know is space reserved for the Gunboat!

But unless these shuttles are special, they make me miss Lambdas.

U-wing looks like 2 AGI to me. I don't think Lambda stats. It's smaller, faster looking. The Lambda is like a Learjet, the U-wing seems more like a Blackhawk helicopter. 1-2 crew, depending on the native armament of the thing.

But unless these shuttles are special, they make me miss Lambdas.

Assuming you're talking about the four-winged shuttles, they look like they're a lot larger than Lambdas. Like, big enough to fit a few AT-ATs large. Which could explain the need for a new shuttle, since even Sentinels are too small to carry large vehicles.

rebels kinda dont need another doublecrew ship since most of their crew that are any good really only help THAT ship (that people use anyway). Kanan technically helps others but pfft when was the last time someone put him on a support ship and not the ship with random crew that has bad greens?

However, since this thing is supposedly doing drastically different roles depending on the situation (warbird vs transport Chinook), perhaps another ship-unique ability via the title? Give it two dials, one slow and clunky one rapid and evasive (turns badly though) and has an action to swap between the two. Main difference would be the dial, though agility/weapon change would be interesting

I could see the Uwing sporting HWK stats with 2 attack, no turret and possibly 2 crew?

Hopefully better dial though.

I think the Scurrg would've been good to debut in Wave 10, but we got the Quadjumper instead. :(

honestly, i seriously hope not.

That would be treading on "replacement" territory. There would be no reason to take a HWK over the Uwing unless you REALLY needed a HWK pilot skill, or worse yet, the Uwing would go the way of the Punisher (well the bomber does the same exact thing for cheaper....) and just collect dust for all eternity because it DIDNT replace the hwk and was basically intended to.

Perfect time for a T65 refresh...

I'm thinking they are landing barges of some kind.

if theyre meant to transport ATAT's (makes sense) then probably wouldnt be a thing in xwing. Scale would be good for an epic ship but wth would it do lol

U-wing and Striker ARE a given and will be previewed on September 30th when the Rogue One merchandise can be shown off.

As for the Havoc Scurrg...I'd of figured it would have come out in the wave instead of, or to counter the Shadowcaster (or even merge the two)...who knows when or if we'll see it any time soon. :(

Also there is no reason why FFG would add in the Havoc now after the wave has been shown.

The missin SKU might be a core-bo or something else Rogue One related that has multi-ships in it, and then the U-wing and Striker at the end of the wave but will be released in December.

eh i wouldnt solidify them in wave10 yet (or out of wave release). FFG doesnt really HAVE to release 2 more ships yet since they just had 2 waves within a short time of each other (7 ships total) and HOTR between the waves.

Wouldnt be surprised if they were added to wave10 but i wouldnt guarantee their inclusion either.

I was bummed not to see the Striker in the trailer. Perhaps that's a clue why there is only 1 missing sku. The full reveal of TIE Striker might be when we see the movie in theaters and FFG has to keep it under wraps.

So now, I guess the other Wave 10 expansion (if any) is a Rogue One T-65/U-wing combo box.

I think that an x-wing and u-wing double pack could happen.

We would have Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor and Bohdi Rook for the u-wing pilots. Baze Malbus and Bistan (the gun-monkey from celebration teaser) as crew. Sadly, K-2s0 and Chirrut Imwe seem too melee sentric for inclusion, based on the little seen.
