What about the snow speeders on hoth and the twin pods on bespin? Could they function out of atmosphere?

No

Quite frankly if wave 12 brings the same obscure 'meh'-inspiring ships that wave 11 has, I'm happy for there not to be one. It's got to the stage where the only cool part of it is the new cards.

For me I'd far rather FFG revisited older ships, like the x-wing and y-wing and tried to bring them back into the game rather than the next TIE/ubiquitous and a ship that appeared in the background of a random game cutscene.

Oh, and the Gunboat of course.

This is sort of how I feel. I used to really look forward to the Wave announcements, but this is killing me at this point. I've been hoping to see the Scurrg for awhile, but I've been waiting so long that it's more a meh "finally" than an "oh cool!" I'm happy for anyone who might have gotten a favorite ship of theirs, but for me it feels like they're scraping the bottom of the barrel, even when more interesting things like the Gunboat are still out there (and I don't really have a personal connection to the Gunboat, just that other people have won me over for its sorta mini-Lambda look that still feels Imperial without being repetitive).

Wave 12:

Rebels: I don“ t know

Scum: I don“ t know

Empire It HAS to be the Assault Gunboat.

Until last week I had lost hope for gunboat because it is a ship from a videogame... and then FFG announces the Scurrg which is from Starwars Starfighter. Believe me, if FFG makes the gunboat, the day of the announcement I will drink rum until I forget my name... and the day they start to sell it I will buy at least three, for sure

The TIE Phantom was from Rebel Assault and the Moldy Crow (HWK-290) was from Dark Forces.

I expect Wave XII will include Star Wars VIII ships (maybe something for Scum (fingers crossed)).

I know, and also the YT-2400.. but those ships are prior to Disney bought Starwars.

For Scum, I'd like a Rouge-class starfighter, specifically Xanadu Blood. It's Cad Bane's ship and would synergize with well the Agressor. They're bringing Bane to X-Wing with the C-ROC, so it wouldn't be much of a stretch.

Don't you mean the scurrg?

If it goes like the last two movies/years, we'll get a wave 12 announcement with ships unrelated to episode 8, then they'll add in ep 8 ships after they can reveal them. Likely the new a-wing for rebels.

Rebels: Due to Rogue One and Rebels prominently featuring the Y-wing, (X-wings taking stage in Rogue One), it would be foolish not to capitalize on that with a Rebel Alliance pack. The game is called X-wing, not Biggs. Lets see some Rebel classics have the ability to be the work horses they are meant to be. I would like to see incentives for actually flying 3 X-wings or 3 Y-wings...either of wheich right now will get you laughed out of your LGS. The number of X-wing pilots that Rogue One revealed alone help this, where Y-wings pilots can easily be drawn on from the books, Ezra and Chopper on a Y-wing could also be cool. #MakeXwingsgoodAgain

Scum: The Ark Angel. Black Krrsantan and Dr. Aphra as pilots.BT1-01 and 0-0-0 as Imperial + Scum crew. Black Krrsantan as Scum only crew, Aphra works for everyone. She has her own comic book and is being pushed super hard, FFG should capitalize on this.

Imperials: Now that Palp has been dethrowned, I would eventually like to see means of buffing interceptors, right now there is Soontir, and Carnor, and with palp fixed, even they might get shelved. All of Imperials was being held back because of Palp access, the snap back should allow us to see some now much needed fixes to classic ships. Some neat ideas I had were Swarm bases: allowing you to put 3 TIES/ln on a special base, where they act as a single unit, that can break apart if needed or form up.

Just some Wishlisting!

Full Episode 8 Wave !

New Starter (t-85 and 2 tie fo) : Just look the picture behind wave 10 we can expect them !

New B-Wing

New A-Wing

New Tie FO Bomber

New Tie FO Advanced

May be new scum small ship ?

Tie Fo advanced and new versions of A and B wing would honestly really excite me. But rather than an Fo advanced, I'd speculate on an Fo interceptor with Sloops and Talon rolls on the same dial.

Hopefully whatever they give to Rebels will come with 3-4 really good crew so we can make use of all the crew carrying ships we just got. Seriously FFG why give us all these rebel crew slots with nothing good to put in them?

Rebel crew are like wallpaper - only there to look pretty. I guess they've got Finn and... Leia?

Yea me too. I've been patiently waiting for them to add prequel and clone wars ships for a long time now. I got teased by them releasing the arc-170 a few waves back, I thought that was a sign they would add more, especially since they are scraping the barrel of legends material (and also seemed to be going fully canon as well). Plus the new movies so far aren't generating enough ships to fill all the waves each year.

But alas, it's back to legends ships again for 2/3's of this wave.

I'm imagining fireworks and "Yub nub!" playing at a lot of nerds' houses when the Assault Gunboat is announced. I can't wait to be one of them

uh...

Rebels: ?

Imperials: ?

Scum: ?

Rebels already have, like, twice as many Crew upgrades as the other factions.

That they do but they only have around 5 faction restricted crew that are useable and most of those are only useful in niche circumstances. Rebels would gladly trade 10+ crew for one Dengar or Errata'ed Palpatine.

Looking at the size of my rebel-only crew collection, i've long asked myself. What a waste of paper.

I know that rebels are kind of the main character of Star wars but I seriously doubt printing every single rebel character as a crew card has been good for rebels as a faction. While everybody else is getting meaty non-descript non-character upgrades all over the place we keep getting ship-after-ship for rebels containing some iconic character as crew that winds up being trash because their abilities are always some specific and obscure benefits related to what they did on screen.

Example: "Systems officer" is just some random dude so FFG was free to design him however they wanted. Jyn Erzo made a moving speech, so she had to have some ability that represents "moving speeches" somehow.

What we then end up with because of all these named characters is a huge load of circumstantial upgrades that rarely fit in a list.

while not competitive by any means, I have a lot of fun running Lando and Han solo crew with Fire Control System on a VCX-100 w/ attack shuttle docked. Landos ability can totally screw you but nothing feels better when you roll two evades or an evade and a focus and convert those into tokens on a ship like the VCX-100 which has 0 agility and you have a target lock on your next victim already :D
