Some more scenarios like "Take the Station" would be nice. Quicker and more fun with 2-4 players.

And the more I read into things, the harder it is to bet against an Imperial Quasar.

Very cool. That's news to me. I haven't seen Rebels yet.

What commander would that possibly have?

Commander Likadik

You may run up to 300 points of squadrons so long as before the game you face Utah, put both middle fingers in the air and loudy proclaim "This one's for you, Blail"

28 Y-Wing and Norra. The rest are BCC and the commander.

Look, he already hates me enough... Can we like, please not, here?

What you talkin' bout

Its unimportant, other than there's no need to single people out, lest I be further charged with or encouraging "being a bully."

I have no idea what you are taking about... And I don't think I'm alone

Pretty sure he's talking about my playful jibe at Blail. I'm pretty confident he'll get the joke, and that its just a joke.

So, as I posted in the Wave 6 Predictions thread,

Here is the image of the EDGE (Spanish Distributor) website showing the -Incorrect- Quasar picture of the header.

If you go to the site now, you'll find the Pelta there in its place.

And yes, that image was from the end of January - its almost a month old now!

The 'somewhat of an indicator' here for that is the fact that, typically in these scenarios, distributors are sent 'data-packs' that have the basic wording and images required to advertise the product, so all distributors are using the same materials - they don't have to rely on finding their own images. Wich is why stores have identical images of packaging to sell, for example. Furthermore, that information is often sent out in English Verbatim, and international distributors are essentially required to translate and localise themsellves. This can mean heads-up and in-advance setups - especially when the Distributor has a hand in localising the product, too (as I have heard rumours with the French and Spanish, in my online searches and looks)...

We had a leak last year that showed the Liberty and Interdictor in package, and it was confirmed basically *that day*.

So yes, this increases the odds that an upcoming wave would feature the Quasar as the 'headline' - much like the Pelta before it. And the presence of TIE fighters in the image flying away from it, would lend us to show us that it is at least Imperial in that image too - TIEs flying *toward* it could go either way, bu tyou'd expect a Rebel presence for it ot be Rebel.

My prediction is, GAMA Trade show in 3 weeks (March 13th, I want to say), we'll get at least a Splash Screen of the Releases for Wave 6. That is what happened last year for Wave 3 (The Flotillas, and only the Flotillas)... Which started the "Are they Painted / Aren't they Painted?" Arguments of the time.

Mid-March splash, to "In development".
Mid-End-April goes to "Printing"
End of May, if we're lucky, "On the Boat"
Which would Timeline us for an End of July / Mid-August release, in an 8 week shipping profile time period.

That's my prediction in full. Based purely on timeline, not on Content. I will admit, I have little enjoyment in guessing content, because I'm either going to be right, in which case, I'm disappointed, because that's boring... Or i'm going to be wrong, in which case, I wanted what I wanted to be right, and I'm disappointed.

Ooooooooo. What would the Quasar's role and basic ship specs be theorized to be? I don't know much background about it.

I have no idea but it looks like it has built in Expanded Hanger Bays.

From the starwars.com databank:

"A massive starship, the Quasar Fire-class cruiser-carrier could both transport smaller fighters and act as a base. The Empire would use such ships in orbit of occupied worlds, allowing for easy dispatch of craft when needed. In one case, however, this proved to be a shortsighted tactic; the Ghost crew, alongside Cham Syndulla, stole the Quasar Fire-Class Cruiser-Carrier for the rebellion. With the rebel fleet badly in need of a base, this proved to be the next best thing."

Could be a slug Large ship, very tanky and able to command a bunch of squads at once.

Just in time for my switch to imps. Shame yv666s dont need a carrier.

It is also very ugly

I'll be confused if you are allowed to put EHB on it. Where would they go? There is no more room on that chassis, cuz it's already all hanger.

If you're allowed? I can promise you that if this ship is released it will have at least one off retro.

But what if it doesn't?

What if it instead has a Title that instead emulates Boosted Comms.... Or perhaps a Title that grants it an offensive Retrofit of 4 points or less?

Two ways for it to have Boosted without being Allowing Expanded Hangars

Traditionally, its always been depicted on the more Medium edge of things in past descriptions...

And if it were a Cheaper-Medium, it might just make Konstantine Imperials happier.

I would argue that for rrb alone it will have a an off retro

You mean Rapid Launch Bay?

::shrug:: Again, who knows - things like this may be replicatable otherwise... And man, that'd be a shitstorm - doubling down on a Dubiously worded card like that... Unless there's an FAQ in the Meantime.
