Rebels: X-wing in Partisan Colours
Rebels: Y-wing in Grey Squadron Colours
Scum & Villainy: Bespin Cloud Car
Empire: ETA-2 in black with Vader
Now that SWX58 is revealed...let's guess the NEXT wave!
Scum:
NO freaking mining TIes...
Lots of small ships to pick from.
You know it's gonna happen. And you know Sabine's gonna be a pilot.
I think the ARC-170 gives predicent to bringing in prequel ships to the current era.
I really liked the Eta-2, Grevious' Ship (Belbullab-22), and the Sith infiltrator/Star Courier.
And I think they could lore-spin all three to fit.
Eta-2 would fit as an imperial ship, as would the Sith Infiltrator/Star Courier (This might be the hardest ship to justify lore-wise, but not impossible and would be one of the more interesting options gameplay-wise).
The Belbullab seems like a decent fit for scum.
The N-1 is definitely not my favorite prequel ship but it would fit the theme as a rebel ship.
Casually you can do it, the fighter models are a bit crappy but reasonable within scale (ARC170 a bit too small, the others slightly too big). Cruiser totally off scale, of course.
Edit: spelling
Edited by Managarmrsome ideas might well be ....
Partisan X-wing, Y-wing and other X-Wing pilots as an Rouge one campaign kit
Delta-class T-3c shuttle (rogue one)
SS-54 assault ship (Aftermath, there are already pilots from this book)
Phoenix Squad (Rebels A-Wing)
Ark Angel (Dr. Alphra)
Lieas ship from TFA
Hammerhead crusser for epic
Zeta class Imperial Cargo Shuttle for epic
Phantom II ( Rebels),
Korm'rik (rebels)
TIE Striker "Death trooper landing craft?"
Make this happen, FFG!
OR... stop being a-wholes and do what is pictured above for yourself... already!!!
We Wants It's!!!
CULT!
Uhh... looks like you already have it... now shutup and go be a man and spend dat $30 and get it!

Meh... this is fine.
Empire:
Alpha-3 Nimbus-class V-wing starfighter
Appearances
- Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith (First appearance)
- Lords of the Sith
- "Mercy Mission"—The Rise of the Empire
- Tarkin
- A New Hero (Picture only)
What I'd like to see
Imperial: Gunboat, TIE Hunter, or V-wing
Rebel: Cloakshape, N-1
Scum: Preybird
What we will probably see
Imperial: something lame from Rebels
Rebel: something lame from Rebels
Scum: that ship you see for 0.000038 ms in the deleted scenes of the first draft of the second iteration of Ep VII
Keep in mind, it's all about marketing. Lego has a new season of the Freemaker Adventures coming out, so the large ship might end up being this one:
https://shop.lego.com/en-US/StarScavenger-75147
And, to go with it, the Empire would get
https://shop.lego.com/en-US/Eclipse-Fighter-75145
Of course, despite fitting in well with existing canon, Lego is decidedly non-canon, so FFG might not want to further irk their fans with more stuff from a "kid's show".
On the scum side of things, FFG is running kinda low, now using ships that only even exist in a movie for five seconds before exploding. Since Jabba is coming soon, whatever scum gets will probably need two or three crew slots. So maybe that's the wave's large ship? I know the new Marvel comics have a large ship that Dr. Aphra flies, and BT-1 and 0-0-0 crew could be quite interesting...
But maybe they'd be Imperials?
And then, as for small ships, I think there is a slight possibility of a TIE Hunter, but other than that, FFG has exhausted most of their sources. Maybe we'll see some repeats, like another X-Wing expansion, but just with different pilots?
Mostly though, my money's on another Rebels tie-in. Maybe we'll see what weird shenanigans Darth Maul pulls in X-Wing.

Just trying to start a fire
and now its delayed another year
Rebels: Phantom II. Because rebels.
Scum: Scurrg bomber. Because Armada
Imperial: Ark Angel. Because BT1 and Triple 0 were just added to Imperial Assault
I'm new to X-Wing and the forums but here's my ¢5 anyway. A clue might be what's on the Star Wars official database that isn't already in the game and fits the game. Mandalorian factions could easily added with Fang and Gauntlet fighters. In the Darth Vader comics he has Padme's Naboo Royal Starship and there is another ship owned by Doctor Aphra called the Ark Angel. With Episode VIII, Rebels, Rogue One, and the potential to go back to Clone Wars swarms of Vulture Droids there are no shortage of options for release.
Is there an escape pod recovery/destroy mission?
I'm holding out hope for this beauty.

Good job they're drone controlled...

Phantom II would seem relatively inevitable, although I wonder (since we do already have a Phantom I) if they aren't going to hold off on releasing that for a few waves, to see if any more characters get added to the crew in 'Rebels' that should be on it. (For one, I hope AP-5 makes it this time!)
I don't think there is a "because Armada" consideration at the moment - nothing has come over to X-Wing that was first in 'Armada', and both games have moved largely in the direction of only using on-screen canon ships since the Disney merchandising transition wrapped up back in 2015.

Wasn't the E-Wing brought to Armada in the same release as the Havoc?
EDIT: Also on the subject of characters from the Vader comic, the Nubian J-Type is actually a pretty good style of ship for Epic - length between the two Gozanti-types and the Rebel Transport, no weapons standard so it could be a fully support type ship which would obviously lean more toward crew upgrades. Titles could add some attack options, and it'd make a very pretty mini. And isn't as much of a fustercluck as the Ark Angel.

Oh stop it with the irrational Prequals hate.
They had flaws sure but they were still decent movies that feature some pretty cool and iconic ships that would be great additions to the game.

I feel that Lucas had big, great vision of prequels that for some reason wasn't really executed well. And people hate because "everyone thinks it's bad so it must be bad i guess". I grew up with prequels and in the beggining there wasn't as much hate as there is now... I like them anyway (in some aspects better than OT), except for Padme x Anakin dialogues. And design of ships, vehicles and planets is yeaaars better than OT. And in game that is all about ships, prequel ships would to the job.

Naboo bomber next?
Maul's Kom'rk - Isn't is smiliar to the Protectorate? Only about 20 years newer?

Do you cry a bit everytime your opponent has an ARC?
If not then you're over reacting.
I think people just hate the prequels because they think it should be done like the Originals, Lucas didn't do Episode 1 all those years ago because he couldn't do it the way he envisioned it and with all of what he wanted on the screen.
That said, maybe they should just release new ships without lots of new cards, just some ships in general that people would like to fly. Or older cards that come in only 1 ship in these ships.
