We aren't done with Wave XI yet...

By Celestial Lizards, in X-Wing

In every wave since VI, we have seen a few small expansions announced, then a couple of big ones. I don't feel,like the C-ROC counts, so what do we think we will see for the rest of the Wave? 3 small expansions just isn't enough.

Personally im hoping for a TIE Reaper.

X-Wing and Y-Wing Rogue One/Rogue Squadron themed expansion with new titles and astromechs (maybe a 0 cost astromech could help the X-Wing?)

Maybe some things that improve maneuverability to bring them up to par?

Not sure. All I know is I want to fly Wedge and have him not explode into hot, firey death when a ship breathes at him :P

Hopefully nothing. I am fine with 3 ship waves. One per faction.

That's an idea. I seriously wonder if the marketing people at FFG actually read this forum.

I do think that the Scurrg and the Auzituk are game-changing enough. But the Aggressor is kinda disappointing. Yes, I am happy that I have a TIE with a turret (finally!) but it's not amazing as far as upgrades and the ship itself is meh.

Otana, Belbullab-22, GUNBOAT, Scum Aces, Rogue Squadron (X and E buffs)...

No, wait, wait... that's my wishlist. :P

Looking back on the old Gunboat threads, they expected it to be out by Wave VI. Shame, shame.

It's been my favourite Imperial ship for 20 years. Only 2 I enjoyed flying in X-Wing vs TIE Fighter is the X-Wing and the Gunboat.

Decimator has been my fave ever since I laid eyes on this game.

Aces packs have never been part of wave releases, they're separate.

Wave 11 is not going to be the one with extra ships.

Wave 8 received extra TFA ships after it's announcement. Wave 9 released as normal. Wave 10 received extra Rogue One ships after it's announcement. Wave 11 will release as normal. Wave 12 will receive extra TLJ ships after it's announcement.

That makes wave 14 when we can expect the Customs Gunboat.

Yeah, *before* Wave XI was announced, I would have have said the time for the Gunboat has likely passed. With them focusing a lot more on newer movie releases and less obscure stuff.

Now though... I don't know. Maybe?

In order for FFG to focus on movie releases the movies+Rebels must have enough new ships, namely 3 per faction: one for the release tie-in wave add-on,one for the next summer wave and one for the next winter movie (before they can announce the next movie tie-in). Rogue One didn't provide 3 new ships per faction, and by the looks of it neither will The Last Jedi.

What wave 11 proves to me is that FFG isn't exactly bound to do all movie ships before anything else, as Scum gets the Scurrg and not the Mining Guild TIE.

Counting comics and the occasional prequel/Clone Wars era ship still used in the Gala Civil War, they could go a while before running out of canon ships, really. They're still drawing from legends because they want to, not because they have to.

They're keeping it a secret so the forum doesn't explode......but I'm a stinker.

As the Auzituck has TONS of upgrades, yeah right. And obviously you have also already seen the dial. Its so bad, the TIE ag is doa.

Man, the imperial whining on the forums lately is just childish.

Master Jedi, I must insist you are wrong. The Auzituk has reinforce and Wookie Commando reduces any need for focus tokens.

It would be healthy move from FFG to slow down a bit.
