Scum: Mining Guild Tie

I really want to see Doctor Aphra's Ark Angel released, along with crew cards for the cast of the comic.

I've only seen pictures, but even compared to scum ships, that thing is... hard to look at. It looks like a Firespray that, despite it's doctor advising against it, decided to start taking those experimental protein supplements which, along with making it gain 500 lbs, suddenly made it also magnetized, resulting in it pulling in every piece of spaceship debris within 100000 miles of it.

Annnnnnnnnd i'm here to be the thread party pooper.

Alright, so i'm gonna barely touch the Gunboat only to say that there's no way it'll show up, it hasn't been in any new canon material and that seems to be the only way to get into a new Wave anymore. If it shows up in Rebels, ok, then it'll probably make it into the game within the year, but until that happens.... unlikely isn't a strong enough word to describe it's chances of getting in game.

N1 wouldnt be a bad guess, Resistance Transport wouldnt be a bad guess either but i would be upset if it were considering we literally just got the U-Wing which tactically does the SAME **** thing...

The only guarantee i think we can safely make is Rogue One material. Blue Squadron X-Wings and probably more Y-Wings are a GIVEN. Partisan X-Wings are also a possibility but who knows.

That Imperial dropship wouldnt be a bad guess either. It's as much a shuttle as the U-Wing is.

And the U-Wing is a light support/tactical dropship vehicle. Not a shuttle. Count on that getting in-game at some point. The only thing else the Empire has is the cargo shuttle and Krennic's shuttle, so definitely expect the dropship.

Scum is the tricky one. Mining guild TIEs, that Darth Maul ship people have been talking about, who knows, it's a toss-up. Thinking about it, i wouldnt ENTIRELY mind Partisan X-Wings for Scum. it'd feel a little anti-thematic considering the Partisans were Rebels whose only goal was to fight the Empire, but it'd lead to even more X-Wing equipment being released, so i'd suck it up.

As for anything else, if it hasnt been seen in canon material, forget it. Ain't happening.

Generally, I'd agree, which is why I've kept the OP to ships "seen on-screen", and definitely canon (although in at least one case, the faction alignment is...tricky...but, then, Republic-era ships seem to end up in *both* non-Empire faction pretty regularly...)

The thing that is really problematic is the Empire's list of candidate ship designs. As things stand, given wave 10, the Empire already has *three* different "shuttle"/transport units (TIE Shuttle, Lambda, and Upsilon-class). While I could see more added someday, it just seems more than a bit unlikely that this would be so SOON. After all, remember that it's wave 10, itself - still not quite fully released - that is bringing the third Imperial shuttle/transport. Would wave 11 really have another Imperial shuttle/transport?

If not, though...then, what?

N-1

Sorosuub Yacht

Dunelizard

Aggressor or Oppressor

And a Y-8 Mining Vessel as the Scum huge epic for good measure.

This is part of the Imperial identity it seems though, and I'm not sure FFG sees any reason to go away from that, especially if the most likely additions which happen to be shuttles, are all certified canon material. I can see a certain thematic element behind it as well. Imperials are Shuttles of important evil people supported by Ties, right? ha

Y-wing with full armor would be cool. Give the rebels some EPT Y-wings.

​Wave 10.5:

• SWX64: Rebel Veterans: Blue Squadron X-Wings

Wave 11:

• SWX65: Havoc Scurrg H6 Bomber
• SWX66: Zeta-class Cargo Shuttle
• SWX67: Partisan X-Wings

Wave 11.5:

• SWX68: Scum Aces

Wave 12:

• SWX69:???
• SWX70:???*
• SWX71:???

*There will never be an Imperial small ship that doesn't start with TIE. bwahaha

I bet ffg is due for one of their fantasy models for the empire. What would it be though? They have heavy fighters, light fighters, transports, bombers, aces...I guess a good utility craft since the defender isn't great for that. An ion turrent fighter maybe, that's all I got being at work and feeling unimaginative lol.

Just trying to start a fire

I cannot express how happy this made me! Excellent first reply! Keep the fires burning!

Rouge Squadron expanaion kit with new Luke ability where you have to guess the roll result to add that result - use the force. Allso Corran Horn in T-65 and Y-Wing, B-Wing pilots veteran.

I still want the Havoc Scurrg H6 Bomber for scum.

Based off past waves, Imperials are probably getting a TIE of some sort.

By a considerable margin, buffs for certain ships are far more important than new ships in 2017.

-- BUFF NOW --

all the X-wings !!

Kihraxz & Starviper (scum aces)

If we're gonna talk about mechanics and niches, I'm going to be a debbie-downer on the Mining Guild TIE. CROC is going to bring Light Sycks to the table, so this means Scum will have their cheap swarm ship, and still have Zs if they need to swarm illicits. If reiterating a shuttle is unlikely, it's just as unlikely a new Swarm option will be announced right away as well. Plus, the obvious "gimmick" there would be TIEs with ilicits, but scum already have a cheap illicit carrier AND that was the gimmick for Rebel TIE.

FFG seems to be trying to shake up the style of each faction lately, so if we want to bet on most likely for mechanical niches, Assault Gunboat for imps as a hardy missile carrier, and the Havoc to give Scum a "heavy bomber/attack fighter" ship are decent guesses.

What canon movie/TV series/comics or book was that from?

Scum Han Solo , one of the best smugglers the galaxy ever had . Give him an outstanding re-positioning ability.

Scum Dash Rendar , according to the trilogy of Han Solo Novels , he must be kinda scummy .

Imperial Guri

Rebel Palob

And maybe VADER, there is a lot of time between the battle of Yavin and his exitus.

IMO , there is no need to bring NEW pilots to the game when a lot shifted fractions during the Galactic Civil War

But i guess none will make it to the game .

Anything but ******* stupid Naboo ships, especially if flown by princesses that aren't fighter pilots.

I hope some T65 love with either R1 pilots or 40th ANH birthday pack.

I could see the Naboo N-1 filling the same kind of niche as a cheap 3 attack dice ship that the TIE Striker and Protectorate Starfighter fill for other factions. Also decent odds on seeing the Resistance Transport for the Rebels, as it got a moderate amount of screen time in TFA.

My best bet for Scum would be Maul's Kom'rk. As has been said above, I think the Light Scyk title probably fills the same niche that the Mining Guild TIE would have covered.

No idea for Imperials. Maybe the Striker Transport, but it doesn't feel like anything new for the Empire.

There won't be new ships. As soon as the amount of pre orders of the epic scum has reached an acceptable level we will get an article introducing X wing 2.0 and explaining how we can use the expensive converter kit to use all the models we have bought in X-wing 2.0. They will start re launching all ships in 2.0 editions with smaller packs giving us only the cards and ship bases that were not included in the converter kit. This will lead to a serious drop in interest and the 2019 worlds will have a max attendance of 60 players (Ryan Farmer defeating Dee Yun in the final and finally claiming his dice and templates. Sadly the interest in the game has dropped and hardly anyone is around to here about it on the podcast). Some will cling on to x wing 1.0 and host alternative tournies (a bit like those who refused to move on from D&D 3.5 back in the days (I was guilty of that)). The rest have moved on and emptied their pockets on SW Destiny boosters packs, some even committing theft to get sufficient money and mainly playing it with their fellow inmates.

But by 2019 X-wing is probably the least of or worries, as by then one the superpower presidents/dictators of this world have probably started a nuclear war anyway......

Canon is out the window, but as far as I know, so is the HWK and Phantom, as well as Z-95 as we knew it, Dont think the Punisher shows up anywhere in canon either or K-wing, E-Wing...thus......

the first place I remember seeing it in was the starwars comics, i think dark horse, but the more popular answer to see them in proper action, is Empire at War, where they were used by the scum faction as their go to bomber.

You're clearly forgetting, like, the dozens of times Leia got behind the stick of a fighter in both new canon AND EU.

The N1 is literally just the latest in a long list of fighters Leia has piloted.

But yeah, way to downplay the character's accomplishments.

But all of those ships were developed well before Disney took over. I don't really see your point.
