I would think we would get the Hammerhead for the Rebels and the mini carrier that appears in Rebels for the imperials. If anyone's got a picture of that carrier, posting it would be nice.

What I'd like to see:

Empire

ISD I - Thrawn Commander, Krennik officer, Chimera Title

Imperial Light Carrier (Quasar Fire)

Rebel

MC75 - Raddus Commander, Profundity Title

Hammerhead Corvette

New rule for disabling Ion shots. Maybe push rule if target disabled.

For the freakin' love of all things Holy, NO MORE SQUADRONS!!!!!!!

Now that that's out of the way... I completely expect to see the Hammerhead, the Quasar, and the MC75 in Armada. But I'm really doubting those will be Wave 6 other than the Hammerhead because of its inclusion in Rebels.

I'd love to see some other non cannon materials. A lot of gold to be mined in the video games like Rebellion and Empire at War.

For the freakin' love of all things Holy, NO MORE SQUADRONS!!!!!!!

So much this.

Come on people. Are you not content with the 32 squads that are coming out? Why do we need more right now? Wave 8 would be fine for more squads. But not wave 6.

I highly doubt an ISD1 model would be coming.

I am honestly ok with the ships the imps have and would be more than happy for more titles and stuff.

The rebels were a hogepoge of systems sending support. its why the ships all look different. The Empire was a cohesive entity.

Too many weird EU ships kinda break my immersion to be honest.

But that's just me

I kind of agree. Looking at the new stuff for squadrons they seem very flushed out.

Krennic should be an officer.

I think it would be really cool to have him give an experimental retrofit slot to a ship but it would have to be with the requirement that it is a medium base or larger. Otherwise I'm Gonna have my target scrabbling flotilla hiding behind my ISD the entire game.

I think there's a possibility that a future wave maybe be a mixed wave of the Epsiode 7 Resurgent Star Destroyer for the Imps, and an MC75 for the Rebels. I don't necessarily like that move but I could see it as a possibility with the source material available and Disney licensing. Who am I kidding? I'll probably eat up whatever they put out.

There's two types of Tie Strikers, fighter and transport variant. I imagine the transport variant would be a good addition to counter the U-Wing.

I'm content with what we have Squadron wise but I imagine we won't get more then the new Rogue One ships.

I dont see any need for the TIE Striker, not do I wish or like it to some to Armada.

The TIE/sk x1 experimental air superiority fighter, also known as the TIE/sk atmospheric fighter or simply the TIE striker, was a streamlined variant of the TIE line starfighters used by the Galactic Empire, most notably during the Battle of Scarif. Specialized for in-atmosphere missions, the atmospheric fighter was identifiable by its horizontal high-speed wings and large central pod.

What would any of this ships (Thrid, but most untypicall MonCal Cruiser, Large Head Corvette, more shuttles) give to Armada.

I would like to see the Ton-Falk and Quasar, Strike Cruiser, Lancer-Frigate, MC40s, Dreadnoughts, Braha'tok.

So why does x-wing get the lead in to have the U-Wing and striker, but Armada can't have a lead in for the rogue one ships?

So why does x-wing get the lead in to have the U-Wing and striker, but Armada can't have a lead in for the rogue one ships?

Smart Alec response: because they hate us. X Wing makes the money, skip over those people who play the lesser game.

More realistic response: there is more to gain by selling X Wing, but the refinement seems to be greater on Armada. Possibly because there is less hands involved or less pressure to pump out components.

I think we'll get the product. But I'm getting the feeling that Wave 6 was being brewed up before they gave access to Rogue given.

who knows...wave 6 could be an SSD

Wave 6 hopes and dreams:

-Movie accurate ISD-I model (not the wonky out of proportion ISD-II we got) 6-8 new titles, some based of ISD type (so I or II) because let's face it, this is the Imps primary and possibly only large ship for awhile and with activation shenanigans, it needs a little bump.

-Imperial Venator Star Destroyer

-MC75

-Hammerhead

-New TIE fighter/xwing pilots (because while I'm not a fan of to many squadrons, these are the most iconic of those in the movies and deserve proper recognition!)

Are you guys serious?

I didn't dislike the hammerhead scene in Rogue One, but that was clearly an emergency tactic that worked in that particular situation and not what the vessels are meant for. Making it part of the game in any way would be like giving an A-wing a special ability to crash into and 1-shot a star destroyer.

FFG definitely takes one moment and makes an entire mechanic based off that. Take Greedo. Poor guy lives his whole life and then in IA his ability is people shoot before him. Poor buddy.

Yeah I gotta agree with this. We are great for squadrons at present thanks.

I agree it's subjective and comes down to FFG in the end, but that's one example that doesn't completely break the game and sounds like a fun little nod. Just saying if FFG would do anything with the hammerhead close to what people are suggesting, it would be ridiculous. I would record microwaving my Armada fleet until it resembles an evil molten face so FFG = Snoke confirmed.

If the ship is to get some kind of ramming buff it will probably be a ship title, the one specifically from Rogue One rather than making it a generic ability, and considering that it will be a small based ship there is no guarantee it will even be be able to ram another ship before it is shot down as it closes into close range.

If the ship is to get some kind of ramming buff it will probably be a ship title...

Hammerhead Corvette Title: When you execute a maneuver at speed 1 or speed 2 that causes you to overlap another ship, you are not dealt a facedown damage card.

1 or 2 points maybe? With these ships probably being of similar durability to the CR90 it's hardly going to be game changing.

MC-75 for Rebels

Hammerhead for Rebels

Quasar Carrier for Imperials

Tector Class Star Destroyer for Imperials.

Before anyone asks, for the Tector, Command 4, Squadron 0, Engineering 3

12 hull, forward shields 3, sides 3, aft 2

Forward 4 black/2 red/2 blue

Sides 2 black/1 red/1 blue

Aft 1 black/1blue

Upgrades Commander, Ion Cannons, Officer, Ordnance, 2 turbo lasers, weapons team.

Lower shields than an ISD, Higher Command Value (not too much of a drawback as only two relevant commands), Slightly sturdier hull, lots of offensive power.

Sort of a brawler with less versatility than the ISD.

Cost: Tector one 5pts higher than and ISD-1, Tector two 5pts higher than ISD-2

I would abuse that title horribly on a CR90. If the hammerhead doesn't have a support slot, then sure.

I completely agree. I only note what possibilities there are given what new data has been presented (which is not a lot of canon material). I feel like we're more likely to see a small wave of only cap ships from Rebels, though, they might dip into EU again to fill it out.

Serious question: how OP would pushing really be?

Fleets would adjust to looser formations so they wouldn't risk being pushed into a friendly. Tighter flying to stay away from board edges. Fighters wouldn't be effected.

That is worst case scenario where it is a common upgrade, instead of say... Hammerhead only (flotilla), target must be disabled. Push 1.

Dangerous? Possibly. But that Hammerhead would be a high priority target without the survivability to withstand concentrated fire. It would be very situational.

Please no more squadrons until at least Wave 8 or 9. We have a lot of squadrons as it is and it's going to take more than 1 wave for people to get used to all the Wave 5 and find their niches with what we already have. Throwing more squadrons in so soon would, in my opinion, be too much.

For ships, I mostly agree with what people are listing here. I'd say a mix of Rebels and Rogue One stuff could be possible and most likely. This is assuming it's going to be a four ship wave and not a two ship wave.

MC75 Cruiser and Hammerhead corvette for Rebels.

Quasar Fire-class and... Acclemator-class for Imperials. Actually, it's hard for me to think of a canon Imperial ship without dipping into prequel territory.

I don't think the Imperial-1 is going to be rereleased as it's own ship, even if it does give a slightly different appearance. The Imperial-I class already exists as it's own ship with it's own armament. It'd feel a bit lazy to just release another one with a few new upgrades. Upgrades that could be included in any new ship we don't have in the game yet.

Plenty of Legends ships have been recanonized already - they could pick one of those.
