This would be perfect. Are you reading this FFG!?

If they did do this it could have a massive amount of new X wing pilots, both Rebel and Partisan as well as "Rogue One" crew options.

Rebels
Harb Binli (Red Seven)
Lieutenant Zal Dinnes (Red Eight)
Lieutenant Nozzo Naytaan (Red Nine)
Major Ralo Surrel (Red Eleven)
Cadet Pedrin Gaul (Red Five)

General Antoc Merrick (Blue Leader)
Jaldine Gerams (Blue Three)
Barion Raner (Blue Four)
Farns Monsbee (Blue Five)

Partisans:

Benthic (or “Two Tubes”, the Tognath who brings Bodhi Rook to Saw Gerrera)
Beezer Fortuna (a Twi’lek)
Moroff (a white, large, and shaggy Gigorian)
Edrio (another “Two Tubes” Tognath)
Weeteef Cyubee (a stout Talpini).

Jon "Dutch" Vander (Gold Leader)
Evaan Verlaine (Gold Three)
Brace Marko (Gold Six)
Gazdo Woolcob (Gold Seven)
Datchi Creel (Gold Eight)
Wona Goban (Gold Nine)

Non-Faction Crew:
Ponda Baba
Dr. Cornelius Evazan

Rebel Crew:
K2-SO
Saw Gerrera


As for what their respective abilities would be, I leave that you but that could be a LOT of card and cardboard.

Not sure if its been mentioned I would have a rebel aces pack... with "red squadron", a title that could apply to all x-wings. Designed to make a squad of x-wings a good thing - could add some of those pilots

Not 100% sure of mechanics, but I would imagine it working a little like Attani.... and the more X-wings within range of each other the better it gets,

Something like:

Red Squadron - Xwing only title. At start of combat assign one focus token to the ship for each other x-wing in range 1-2

Also Modification: X-foils (or something): Dual card - X-wing only. Ships can Barrel Roll or Boost (depending if open or closed - takes an action to change) - 3 pts.

- not these are random ideas, and not very thought through.

Could do something similar for gold squadron (Y-wings), Black squadron (ties), Pheonix Squadron (A's) etc. Would encourage squad formations for more forgotten ships.

Nice but I wouldn't charge a point for it.

Yeah, you are probably right... specially because you can't use Integrated Astromech with it...

You don't need to be a Scum for that:

True, I don't really care if it's rebel or scum. I'd just like to see them in game. Someone mentioned a most wanted style pack with a blue squad X-wing, partisan X-wing and Grey squad Y-wing. I think that would really give the rebels a kick so long as there are decent T-65 X-wing and rebel Y-wing mods / titles to make them more competitive.

If by "non-faction" you mean they would absolutely be scum-only. Death marks in a buncha systems, trying to attack luke, getting an arm cut off by obi-wan...yah, they wouldn't be available to rebel or imperial.

I would love to see the I-7 Howlrunner appear in the Imperials. an Incom design from after they got nationalized, it has some potential i think for the game. it would help get the imperials away from the "TIE-whatevers and shuttles" trend certainly.

the downside is no named pilots exist, so original ones would have to be made up.

I have played a Kit event once using a Klingon Bird of Prey as a TIE Phantom. Confused people at first but they got used to it.

The looks from other tables though . . priceless.

My reasoning behind this is because BoShek is non-faction specific crew and whilst they are certainly outlaws, I don't think they would be opposed to working for the Resistance or Empire, via a contact, for the right price as a necessary evil so to speak. Also from a game point of view, they could fill slots and options that those factions dont have access to.

I mean, Cassian wasn't exactly "clean" either.

Maybe, via abilities etc, you could create an unofficial sub faction, the Scummy Rebel player. A person who is adamant to play Rebels but is desperate to keep the dream alive, by any means. So he would have Partisan X wing pilots using glitterstim. Non-faction crew with a shady past on his HWK or freighters and stolen tech slot items, unreliable and dangerous to all on the field, be it friend or foe.

On the rebel side they should go with the resistance a wing or N1. We have had mostly heavy ships these last few waves(orange tie excluded) and need a little fast ship again.

Well, we'll clearly see the Resistance A-Wing around the time The Last Jedi is released, but I imagine Wave 11 will be in stores well before that happens.

BoShek is entirely different from ponda and evazan. He's a smuggler and actually introduced obi-wan to chewie and got him together with his ride to alderaan. And has no death marks to my knowledge. Meanwhile ponda is a thug, and dr evezan disfigured people with "creative surgery".

If I'm honest, I don't really know their back ground, just what I saw in the films.

Smugglers, and not Han Solo pretty boy, dump my cargo cause i'm scared of the imperials smugglers ;) , Dr. Evazan also did experimental surgeries on people...

Dr. Evazan

well their EU background was basically a Dr. Menegele level history of experiments into eternal life.

their Canon background (established in the Rogue One supplementary material) was the creation and sale of "decraniated" sentient's. humans and aliens which have had the majority of their head (including the brain) removed and replaced by a droid brain to create basically a meat-puppet.

those, and a history of unnecessary and ghastly surgeries on people, were why he had a death sentence in 12 systems.

I think Wave 11 is a solid chance for us to get an EU ship or two into the game. New ships in rebels MIGHT be too new to make it into production yet, and it's also too early to announce Episode 8 stuff...

Rebels stuff that COULD possibly show up -

Mining Guild TIEs

Cham Syndulla's shuttle that had the docked TIE Bomber - (Single ship with docking capability).

The new Phantom (Possibly too new).

Maul's large mandolorian ship

And also some possible comic book stuff...

The Ark Angel,

Sana Solo's ship, some type of YT I don't remember.

And out of all of that... none of it is Imperial. It's all Rebel or Scum. Mostly Scum.

So that means for the sake of Balance, some EU stuff may slip in.

The Ark Angel could easily be imperial since she was working with vader the whole way through the Vader comics. not that I wouldn't be more than happy to have her as scum :P

Yeah, this is a ship I wouldn't mind seeing produced.

(with or without a docking capability, however that would give it a point of difference)
