So, Wave VI is coming and all that, but what else do you want to see? There are many more Imperial capital ships they could add. Here's a few of my suggestions:

Carrack-class cruiser: Probably medium size base, somewhat like the Gladiator

Dreadnaught-class heavy cruiser: Large base, lots of health, but less firepower forward than an ISD

Lancer-class frigate: High amount of Anti-Squadron armament, but not that much health or ship-to-ship firepower

I'm sure there are other possibilities. What do you all think?

I'm sure car racks and dreadnaights are coming out eventually but I doubt the lancer will come saying we already have the raider.

The Tector- the Imperial Liberty.

Of the 3 ships above, I think only the Carrack Cruiser might be a possible future release but I'm really not keen on the look of it.

My personal wishlist would be:-

1)Chimaera(ISD-I) including the Tector as a 2nd variant

2)Venator Class SD - no sure how this will work considering we already have the VSD & ISD to fill out carrier \battleship role.

3)Imperial Escort Carrier(Storm Commando variant) - this one might a stretch but I really want this sweet ass looking ship as a miniature

Those Escort Carriers are something, definitely, and it would be nice to have the Chimaera. Of course, then you would have to add Thrawn and Pellaeon as upgrades. What about some of the ships from Empire at War (Broadside Cruiser, Acclamator-class Assault Ship, Marauder Corvette, Tartan-class Patrol Cruiser, etc.)?

Venator and Tector top my list behind the SSD, followed by Dreadnaughts, Strike Cruisers, Bayonet light cruisers Carracks, Lancers, Star Gallions, IPVs, Customs Cruisers...

Raiders are still effective against capital ships, the Lancer isn't. 1 blue out each arc for battery, 3 blue antisquadron, speed 2, Command 1, squadron 1, engineering 2, 4 hull, offensive retrofit, officer, defensive retrofit. That would be a Lancer, and the role of the Raider would be safe.

If a one-ship wave, then the Tector-Class SD. If a two-ship wave, then the Tector-Class and the Vindicator-Class. As much as i love the Venator (go TeamVenator!), i highly doubt we'll see back-to back carrier waves.

Carrack as a speed 4 small for the Empire. It is about the size of the Neb B, and fast enough to keep up with X-wings. It was compartmentalized, so a defensive retrofit and copy of reinforced bulkheads, and noted to carry ion cannons, so heavier on the blue dice. Say 2 blue front, 2 blue and a red sides, one blue rear.

IPV-4 as a flotilla- no support option, but more guns and faster.

White ISD I . Keep the same 2 ISD ship cards, but new upgrades. Admiral Thrawn, Chimaera (Grants a fleet command slot), Executrix, Stalker titles.

Dreadnought. Relatively cheap speed 2 command 3 broadside heavy ship. nonunique Katana Title.

Well you still got that Rebel Flagship from Rogue One, as for Imperials, I don't know I'm sure they'll dig something out of Rebels, or they could put in the TFA Star Destroyer.

I really can't see a white ISD being a wave. I don't think FFG would be that shameless. And it seems a bit of a waste to me.

Although I'd like to see the Venator & the commando escort carrier previously mentioned. I think FFG will build on the whole boarding mechanic and we may see stormtrooper boarding shuttles or something of that ilk and maybe different boarding team cards, stormtroopers, perhaps darktroopers...

There are enough imp fighter types for another wave but I can't see that somehow either.

And of course, I still want the executor & eclipse. ?

We alrrady have ISDs. I think new ISD expabsions will be released in somethng like CC. N9 new ships but new cards.

Dreadnoughts and Carracs would be great but as new Disneyverse movies are coming it is morel likely that we'll see whatever the mouse is throwing at us rather than any EU stuff.

Nah. Venator and Finalizer.

I did not read the books, but I understand that both Carrack and Lancer are canonised now?

Both would be nice to appear, but since the Raider is already here and we already have a model called Lancer the probability is very low for that one.

I would love to have the Strike Cruiser, I also think it would make a great model. Or the Dreadnought, but I think neither of those is canon and I doubt the Dreadnought will ever be a thing.

I would hate another ISD, we already got one. And I cannot personally understand the wish for a Tector ship. That abomination should have been addressed during the recanonisation and labeled as unique ISD modification. Repair after battle damage or a noncontinued prototype, whatever. Because honestly: How in the name of Tarkin could a hangar- and therefore squadronless star destroyers ever fit the Imperial military doctrine?

(Sure, next someone tells me that a Tector might have four huge hangars on top to launch Gozantis from. Absolutely possible, since there is only 1.5 seconds of footage of the underside of that thing... well, thinking about it that Gozanti thing would be kinda cool. Let's get such a Tector! I'm in TeamGozTector Now!)

Vindicator as a heavy cruiser, carrack as an alternative light cruiser and Venators as a heavy carrier.

Fighter wise skipray blastboats, assualt gunboats, maybe tie aggressors

Vindicator would be cool. I think there are better fighters than blast boats & aggressors. Avenger, Scimitar bomber & missile boat.

i don't want to see anything from TFA. It just doesn't fit thematically.

Yup - in slightly different eras. Lancer appeared in a Journey to The Force Awakens book (Before The Awakening), Carrack appeared in the post-ROTS to early post-ROTJ era (Tarkin, Aftermath)

#TeamVenator for the win baby!! obvious choice for next wave. broadsides ship. see my rants in the wave six and seven prediction threads. the vindicator would be way cool. I wouldnt want the tector yet because its basically an isd. the acclimator is yet another clone wars ship so I'm down. I'd also like the secutor as well. different varients of triangles please.

People keep requesting the Tector, but I didn't think the ship has any difference from the standard Imperial except the bottom hangar is closed up? How is that different?

I don't think it'll ever happen because it would be impossible to tell the two ships apart from across the table without upending the model. Not without redesigning the other side of the ship.

More hull stronger shields and weapons. I personally don't think we will get the Tector because it would just be to expensive to put in the game( point wise)

I hope FFG is listening. These sound quite plausible, and I'd love to use them. I'd also say that the Dreadnaught would need to be a pretty even matchup against a VSD-1, since it's described that way.

I think another ISD is likely, considering how many important titles there still are... and there are TONS and we could go on for days talking about which titles they should include. Here are a few I'd include:

-Chimera - Obviously, so we can get Thrawn, but if they did an alternate paint job - would it be wasted? Who really notices the belly of an ISD on the game mat?

-Executrix - Tarkins's personal ISD

-Inflictor - Cienna Ree's ISD - we see Rey speed past it in the Episode 7 trailer.

---------------------

Now there are some other Imperial ships I think we may see.

Venator - Tarkin has one in his office at the start of season 3. It's a model, but between it actually showing up on screen in SOME form in rebels, plus it's several mentions in various books, we know there were some still in service around the time of ANH. It could show up easily. Might be a nice broadside Imperial ship.

The Carrion Spike- About the size of a Corellian Corvette, this was Tarkin's custom ship with a stygium cloaking device.

Listening Ship - The gozanti from the droids episode of Rebels. Might be another flotilla but it's got more engines so it could just be a single ship if they have it as being large enough. Hard to judge it's scale since it was always alone on camera.

Those are the only canon ships I can see coming right now. I'd be really surprised if they pull from deep within legends.

The ISD-I is too iconic to leave out of the game, and the Star Destroyer itself is too iconic to have as few titles as it does.

They should errata the titles to match specific models though.

They can make some selective edits and accentuate some of the differences. The indents on the sides, for example, look a little deeper to me. You could make the bridge "neck" a little longer ala Rebels. You could also it an ISD I bridge. It's a cannon ship and giving it a low squadron count would fill a good spot in the Imperial roster. Seems like as good of an option as any of the others out there.
