Onager Article Monday.

In regards to the Salvo rules, due to it being the printed rear arc dice... it severely limits the number of other ships commander Agate is useful on.

Officer. Commander Agate giving a second Brace to an HMC80 is a nightmare. A glorious, glorious, nightmare

Are the 6 cards left reprints? Maybe 2-3 copies of that crappy turbolaser.

There are two copies of a card that will allow salvo elsewhere, but they specifically said they weren't showing that off.

But what category are they?! Officer makes sense so everyone could get it but what if it was a weapons team? Or some other highly contested slot? Makes you think about how much do you want that extra attack.

Part of the "Deliberately not telling us about it" strategy.

Maybe we'll know more Monday. Maybe we'll wait for Release.

I thought they said it was an officer card

No, they deliberately said they weren't saying anything about it, other than there's 2 copies.

And that they were not faction locked or unique (obviously if there’s two, although TEA from RITR would protest)

Today, I predict we will have the Salvo token granting upgrade card spoiled in the Onager preview article.

And two Articles Later.

We're still waiting

There are about 8 completely mystery upgrades still, not including the salvo token upgrade, I mean that has to be worth an article.

Unless some of them are old cards. We probably need another Superweapon upgrade for the Starhawk, maybe another new card for the Onager. That leaves 3 for each - doesn't seem to improbable that they'd be repeats. Maybe Auxiliary Shield Teams/Veteran Gunners, Weapon Battery Techs/Sensor Team and a Turbolaser for the Onager, maybe Fire Control Teams, Hardened Bulkheads, HIEs/Leading Shots for the Starhawk?

Does this include Heavy Fire Zone which wasn't spoiled but can obviously be read in the picture spread.

If we go by the spread for each ship at announcement, 9 upgrades each, and the store page lists 15 upgrade cards. That means each will get probably 2 copies of the salvo upgrade card. I am not sure what else they can fit in with 4 more cards.

Heavy Fire Zone is known (except card cost) and has been discussed. All 9 card you can see in the spread are revealed.

It includes that and the mystery salvo card 4 mystery cards in each box.

Rise from your grave!

Starhawk is only missing 2 upgrades now.

First Skystrike Academy, then the Colossus... and now, the Titan. I can't be the only one that wants stations added to the game as play pieces, can I?

I'd love to do this in a campaign, especially a Scarif Shield Gate battle.

2nd copy of HFZ and other SuperWeapon?

I accounted for 2 HFZs. And I don't think we are getting another super weapon.

Those were my only ideas lol, no idea what they could be then.

While I hope we get another two new upgrades I wouldn't be surprised if they are reprints of existing cards. Personally I like the new cards they seem balanced to me they aren't auto includes (spam the new thing for a win) being niche they fit some ships, breath a bit of life in to some ships and give us difficult decisions in picking over existing upgrades. I think that's far more healthy for the game than the new upgrades being superior to existing upgrades and an auto till the next wave. For my 2p Heavy Fire Zone has to work at long range by RAW and cost, which will make it an option but not likely to replace other upgrades outright, and on that thought, Nebs and Victory been getting a lot of love recently, should we expect to see upgrades that suit other waves? Which ships do we think could use some new options? Raider and Liberty IMO, but its close.
