The Scurrg is the only ship I am certain to pick up currently, love the look, the double factions, bomblet generstor etc. The wookie ship does nothing for me. Something about an Imperial turret carrier irks me, it has to come down to some fun named pilots, else its going to be that expansion pack you buy for unguided missiles and just so happens to get a ship with to. The c-roc. The collector im me would like to have Jabba. But to much to cash out for a card. Will probably end up proxying the scum pilots, they seem fun. Sadly the alt paint job on the new scyk is about as bland as the old one. I hope Ep 8 shakes things up with more than new a-wings.
Wave XI at printer! FINALLY
I've preordered (at my FLGS)...
4x Auzituck Gunship
3x Scurrg H-6 Bomber
4x TIE Aggressor
That should do.

In the moment, I'm more hoping for a big Memorial Day sale at CoolStuff to stock up on some TIE/sf and TAPs.
This is actually what excites me about this wave. It's a nice simple one that doesn't get too ambitious. Wave XI, more than any other wave, reminds me of the first few waves of this game.
Of course, on the 25th they're going to add like 2 ships from the new movie to Wave XI and they're going to introduce a bunch of new mechanics and my statement will be rendered invalid.

I'm really intrigued by the auzituck as well, and may end up with multiple of that too. Less interested by the aggressor with what e've seen so far, so may only end up with one of that unless I like future reveals better
This release is meh, like the last one....The dail will make or break it.
I view wave 11 as a series of Ace packs for each daction - we're getting fixes for ordinance bombers, Imperial swarms, rebel jousters and so on. I'll get one of everything because I'm poor, and maybe a second Aggressor so I can fuel my bombers with blood.

Four for me!!

I'm right there with you. This isn't a flashy wave, this is one that gets stuff done. Unguided rockets, for instance, will probably have a big impact. They'll be a very useful card. I think we'll see a lot of utility, not-quite-flashy cards here, and that's good for the game.

Oh, it doesn't need to be a system upgrade to do that. The Punisher has double Bomb slots so is one of the few ships that could run it anyway.
I am just worried for the balance of the game, as it looks like its going to shift even more in favor of Scum. From the available information right now, the Scurrg is massively the best ship of the three... again.
The only reason I'm okay with that, is that the Imperial counter to low agility, high hull ships is also coming in this expansion.
I expect late announcements I mean they don't usually have only 3 ships in a wave do they?

It's just some stuff to rebalance a few things without an aces pack. Imperial double missile ships are getting a boost, and I'd expect the Scurrg has new toys for Scum Bomber lists.

Will likely be the trend going forward because the factions are relatively even now as far a ship count. The add on ships in waves 8 and 10 can hardly even be considered as part of the same releases because they get pushed out early. There maY be other sets announced, but we've probably seen all of "Wave 11" and most waves will be 3 ships.

They'd have been pretty much even if not for the rebel and imperial extra additions for the new movies. Scum is behind again as a result.
And scum is way behind on pilots being 2 aces packs short. Plus rebels/imps have extra pilots from core set plus normal expansion for the core ships, while scum got most wanted without separate expansions for any of the ships within

You're not wrong. However, even considering they have so many weak small bases, scum is not hurting for good ships or pilots lol. I would definitely like to see more of those ships on the table, but even with the numerical advantages, Rebel and Imperial need more help right now.
Seems like all the stuff I've been waiting for is now just at the printer. The Expansions for Star Trek Ascendancy just started printing two weeks ago (months after the delayed release date on their website). Wave IS so I expect some articles to come up soon.
For some reason May must be the printer month. Nothing else is made before or after then.

Minelayer's Map (or whatever it is) is the thing that's probably a bomb-related System slot.
